Yesterday and today I potted the following:

52 Burpee Robinson Red Chrysanthemum seeds
35 pots of Burpee Nasturtium flowers (trellis climbers)
13 pots of Burpee "Happy Days Mix" Marigolds (my second batch of marigolds)
12 pots of Cumin (heirloom)
12 pots of Yarrow (heirloom)
12 pots of Salsify (heirloom)
12 pots of Borage (heirloom)
12 pots of Parsley (heirloom)
12 pots of Kohlrabi (heirloom)
12 pots of Brussel Sprouts (heirloom)

That's a total of 364 potted vegetables, herbs and flowers, plus a single Amaryllis that was given to us at a church rummage sale on Saturday. So that's 365, a full year's worth! And I understated it a bit since most of these pots have two seeds in them. I'll thin later if both seeds sprout.

I think I'm done with potting. I have tons of other things that don't need to be started indoors.

So far, only the Burpee tomatoes, chives, thyme, marigolds and alyssum have begun germinating. I'm a little concerned since nearly all of these are Burpee seeds, not part of the huge heirloom seed package my wife gave me for Christmas. Hopefully the heirlooms start sprouting soon.
