Somehow, I didn’t get to planting most of my front porch pots this spring, but you’d be hard pressed to prove it.<\/em> \u00a0There is a lovely bunch of petunias in one of them. \u00a0I think there are three reasons for this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I grew the originals from seed, which indicates good germination for the variety.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. I watered the pots during the spring, when they were bare, to keep them from getting rock hard before I planted.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. I weeded out the obvious weeds.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Voila! \u00a0I have a pot full of petunias! \u00a0I wonder if this is what the garden of Eden was like?<\/em><\/p>\n

    Growing your original petunias from seed is not difficult, but takes some patience. \u00a0Like many flower seeds, they are\u00a0tiny.<\/em><\/p>\n
