Lupine: After chilling lupine seeds in a wet paper towel - placed in plastic bag - in the fridge for 5 days I potted them in a mixture of mostly seed starting mix along with a dash of fertilized potting mix. Started 15 small pots. Keeping fingers crossed. I have never grown lupine before but I hear they are pretty spectacular. Also started:
Grandpa Admires Lettuce: Started one 6 cell pack indoors
Bronze Arrowhead Lettuce: Started one 6 cell pack indoors
Buttercrunch Lettuce: Started one 6 cell pack indoors
Marigold: Started one 9 cell pack indoors
Swiss Chard: Started two 6 cell packs of Rainbow Swiss Chard indoors. http://www.seedsavers.org/ has a wonderful heirloom variety that has never let us down. For those that like a colorful green that stands up to salad dressing and keeps firm in salads this is a winner. Also great as a spinach replacement in lasagna. Or just leave it in the garden as decoration. Beautiful color.
