I planted wildflower seeds indoors today, which  is a silly thing to do really, because no matter how prodigious they become, they will be long past transplanting when warm enough temperatures do arrive. I simply needed to do something to counteract this lingering winter, even if it is inconsequential.

I had collected various wildflower seeds last summer and fall, placing them in labeled small glass vials and stored on an old type face shelving on my bedroom wall. It was my intent at the time to plant them in the spring, outdoors when the ground had sufficiently thawed. But impatience has gotten the better of me, so I selected a few seeds from each of the 24 vials and planted them in small soil-filled cells placed within an incubator.
