More Seed-starting

Tonight I started another set of seeds:

24 Zinnias (California Giant)
24 Statice
12 Cosmos
12 Head Lettuce (Buttercrunch)

We grow a lot of leaf lettuce, but I've been sowing it directly. I think I can transplant the started seedlings next month and have a head start on our salads.

Liz loves the zinnias -- she likes cutting the flowers for dinner decor. We'll direct sow them in a month or so, but I wanted to get an early start on some. Same with Cosmos.

The statice will go in our front bed. I read it's also a great flower for drying, which will be great for sprucing up our fall and winter dinner tables.
