In fall of 2022, on a lark, I spread a packet of borage seed in what was to become the front yard #meadow. Nothing came of it -- probably for the best, I thought, they aren't native. Now, three years later, a whole bunch of seedlings have appeared, among them three crinkly leaved critters below.

Might not look like much right now but I’m hoping it takes off soon: Agrostis nebulosa
Commonly known as Cloud Grass, this shade-loving annual hails from the western Mediterranean, and forms thick mats of rich green leaves above which rise a cloudlike white-purple mass of tiny flowers and seedheads. The seeds are tiny, and as such on its own a single plant is nothing to look at…but dozens or hundreds together creates a soft-looking image that greatly accents the understory of a garden. The two clumps I currently have were planted along the rock walls alongside another ornamental shade-loving grass with a much larger, golden presence and that will be available to patrons shortly (join at patreon.com/hcarlton if you want an early peek at what I’m referencing).

Trying to decide whether to tempt fate and sow my cosmos seeds in my annual container now or wait another couple of weeks. 🤔 (I live in zone 5b, def. not in the west coast but seeds are from BC.)

My pick of flower seeds for 2025 - a lot of annuals in warm shades and classy perennials. Nasturtium Crime Scene, Sunflower Soluna Bronze and Sunflower Astra Rose from Thompson & Morgan.
