More Slow than Steady

but it still beats Fast and Fizzle. I have been preparing the soil for planting. It would be much easier if there were no plants there that I want to keep. I will be stuck with some weeds amongst the firmly-rooted asters, but at least I'll have the asters in September. I'll have to till through the dug-up parts one more time and then buy some good garden soil - probably at least one big bag of compost/manure. By that time my seeds will have been in the fridge for about a month. Minimal, but better than nothing.
