Brrr...

Sunny today, but kind of cold and windy.

Echinacea atrorubens, Echinacea paradoxa, and Castilleja coccinea sprouted in the dish from the fridge.

Planted Asclepias purpurascens in Sand Garden.

Also noticed Asclepias purpurascens, A. exaltata and A. incarnata coming up in Main Garden.

OK, I got in a seed planting mood tonight, so I planted a rather huge number of seeds, again in moist dirt.
