12856 Three days ago, I planted Morning Glory seeds in Jiffy Peat Pellets. Today, I had to re-plant them in something larger because they’ve already sprouted like crazy. Augh! It’s February! I can’t plant anything outside for another month at least. I keep forgetting that they grow so fast. They’re going to be huge in a week! The hummingbirds don’t get here for another month either, so it’s not like I’m in any hurry to get them out. I need to remember next year to start them later or just plant them righ tin the ground instead of the peat things. I planted some Blue Bedder Salvia in the peat pots today. They should grow much slower.

Though, last year, even though they were reported in my area on 3/26, I didn’t see any at my feeders until 4/14.
How is it you know exactly when hummingbirds will arrive?
