With plants overwintering in my parents' garden and both seeds and plants ordered online, it is time I take stock of exactly what I have for each of my new gardens. Only then can I think about how to arrange them, how many I actually need and how much room I will have left for direct sowing (or more plants from the Friends' annual Mother's Day spring plant sale).
South Garden (hot summer colours)
'Red Charm' peony x1
Swiss Chard (seeds)
Columbine, Bordeaux Barlow - 30 seeds
California Poppy, orange (seeds x2)
Dianthus, "Brilliant"- 250 seeds
Lupine, "My castle" - 100 seeds
California Poppy, orange (seeds x2)
Dianthus, "Brilliant"- 250 seeds
Lupine, "My castle" - 100 seeds
Oriental Poppy. "Brilliant" - 200 seeds
This feels like quite enough, especially when you take into account that I can fill any 'empty spots' with seeds. There is a bit more yellow than I planned, so perhaps I will move some into the front garden with the purples.
Moon Garden (all white)
Goats Beard x5
Leucanthemum Broadway Lights x2 (daisy)
Moonflower (seeds)
White Lupin (seeds)
Shasta Daisy (seeds)
100 white daffodils
Here it also feels like quite enough, after all, this garden is rife with creeping bellflower so I should not plant too much this first year.

Lots of spring seeds but not lots of summer or fall colour. This is where I need to focus my attention. I am thiking of adding Chicory & Viper's Bugloss seeds since I have fallen for these roadside weeds over the last few summers at the Ontario cottage.
