Garden planning

After this short spell of warm weather I'm just chomping at the bit to start my seeds for summer. I couldn't resist picking up more seeds each time I've gone shopping lately, so m amassing quite a few! I also bought a couple dozen peat pots, and trays with planting pellets for 120 plants so far. I have about 100 containers left from last year too, that I need to get potting soil for soon.

So far I've gotten seed for:
aster
babys breath
black eyed susans
cardinal climber vine
calendula
columbine
cornflower
cosmos (pink, orange, yellow, red)
forget-me-not
garland daisies
hollyhock
lavendar
petunia (mixed colors)
scarlet runner beans
shasta daisies
sunflower
wildflower mix, perrenial mix
cantalope, chives, sweet corn, wide variety of peppers

I still need to get plum trees, more raspberries, fern, hostas, and "something" that likes shade but has pretty flowers to edge the house with.

This is on top of the perrenials I put in last summer; plus my strawberries, raspberries, apple trees and flowering shrubs.
I plan to get my soil soon so I can start my seeds and get them outside asap. I seem to have the best luck with them when I let them sprout in the cold. They just grow hardier that way!

So who else is a gardening fanatic? Does anyone else do cold sowing?
