Hi Cheryl,
I've got the same box of seeds. I liked the box and the idea of planting a
Monet garden, but I've had these seeds around for several years now, never
wanting to plant it because I don't know exactly what seeds are in there.
I'm a big-time Monet lover and do plan to put in a Monet garden, but I will
use several of the Monet books I have to actually plan and plant the pallette.
If you plant yours, let me know what happens.
Cynthia (who received a dozen landscape-garden path lights for Christmas,
and a fourth coffee table book about Monet's gardens and I don't even own a
coffee table :-)
