What's in YOUR seed order?

[cyprinella]

I'm still going through the catalogs to figure out my veg order but I fell down the wildflower seed rabbithole. I ended up with a large bag of native wildflower seed mix from American Meadows with which to do some Concern Citizen Tired of Looking at Non-Native Weeds gardening over some finished road construction sites in my neighborhood. Anyone else have something cool on order?

Anyone have a good source for scented geranium seed or plants? I love them, but rarely find anything besides citronella where I live.

On order at the moment, several varieties of nasturtiums which I dearly love, nigella, borage, cardinal vine, zinnias, calendula (yellow, orange and that lovely peach colored one) and a really pretty pink agastache which I like to plant in a large urn near the front door---the hummingbirds are mad for it.

Veggie list is unsurprising, cukes, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes (Beefsteak and Cherokee Purple), a bag of yellow seed potatoes and onions (Spanish yellow). Next up I will troll for a few perennials to try.

I always get so zealous when I start looking at the seed catalogs!

My son wants to grow watermelons in his little patch, so for the first time I'm ordering them. We probably don't have space - his patch is only about 3'x4' and he also wants to grow a tomato in there. I figure I'll try and direct the vines in a circle on the ground around the base of the tomato. Maybe it'll work? Any watermelon growing tips? I'm in the northeast, so not your prime melon growing territory.

Orange Banana Tomato - these are amazing tomatoes and have been my go to for a few years

Oriole - Zinnia - just an orange zinnia

Miss Willmott - Zinnia - lovely huge purple zinnia

Polar Bear - Zinnia - big white ones

Redman Super Cactus Zinnia - one of the pricier "rare" ones, pink with greenish tint

Queen Lime Red - uhhh I guess another zinnia 8)

Echinacea - Tennesseensis - like I need more scraggly coneflowers... "rare" so I hope they're nice

Goldilocks - a double black eyed Susan / daisy thing. They're big and fluffy!

Cosmo Velouette - random cosmo I threw in

Lucid Gem Tomato - new for me this year, but it had good reviews

Freebies:
A small black tomato variety with poor reviews (mealy and not much flavor.) don't know if I'll waste space on it. Could be people are waiting too long to pick, since it's a black variety?
Purple carrots- eh why not.
