Hyacinth seeds are ready at this time; celestial seeds will be ready by the coming week. Gardenia seeds are ready on the west side of I-35. TXDOT is not working the site at this time, so you can collect just about anytime – use caution as this is a high traffic area. You might coordinate with Mary Ann, Lynn, or JoAnne.
