Ride the (F2) Wave
One of the nicest and best performing seed grown petunias is the Wave Petunia. Started in 1985 with the now famous "purple Wave", the petunia is today available in 6 colors and several new related varieties, too. This plant is very easy to start from seed, and produce offspring (F2 hybrids) which are equally as good as the parent plants. Learn how to harvest, store, and grow your own F2 hybrid Wave Petunias this year. The savings can be quite substantial when you consider the prices being charged for the original F1 Wave Petunia seeds today.

Cool Season and Cold Tolerant Annuals
Now we can plant cool season and cold tolerant flowering plants to reward ourselves for making it through another winter. Just don't forget that they were raised in greenhouses and need to be acclimated to the weather before you leave them on their own.

Fertilizing accurately using PPM
Fertilizing is one of the most critical factors in successful seed starting. Even so, most home growers are resorting to very general guidelines, such as “use a 1/4 strength fertilizer”. Some plants consume more fertilizer than others and the concentration of various fertilizers can also vary so how do you differentiate between plants which require more fertilizer, or less? and how much more fertilizer does petunias require compared to pelargonium, and to impatiens? To get around this problem the greenhouse industry has established a universal measurement commonly referred to as PPM: "Parts Per Million". By using this measurement we can move on from the imprecise guidelines and vastly improve the quality and performance of our bedding plants. But we do not have to calculate in millions. In fact, in this article you will learn to dose fertilizer precisely in teaspoons, gallons, even scoops and tanks, if you like. The methods are all the same and are based on the PPM principle. Do you know your PPM ?

Myth and Folklore: Dangerous Datura
In wildflowers, nothing spells myth and folklore like chemistry; compounds found in plants that do dastardly things to a body. A poster child for botany with pharmacological implications, not to mention myth and folklore is the genus <I>Datura</I>, in the Nightshade (<I>Solanaceae</I>) clan.
