These are "Very Berry" wintergreen seeds..... I planted them in a peaty seed starting mix, threw them into a plastic baggie and put them into the fridge with the rose seeds already there. I also planted hosta "New American Hybrids" mix into peat pellets in a cool window sill.

I forgot to mention yesterday that I received a big padded envelope from Pinetree Garden Seeds yesterday in the mail. Inside were the sprouting jar lids so that I can grow some yummy nutritious sprouts in my kitchen inside during the winter since FREYA won't let me eat the lettuce I grew that was intended FOR ME during the winter.
