Sowing my 3rd set of seeds: Flowers & Herbs

Yes, I started more seeds! ;-) It's looking quite hopeful that I may actually make it to the Spring MTPS (Middle Tennessee Plant Swap)! Yay! So, I should have plenty to give away there. I have been mainly a vegetable and fruit gardener up until recently. This year, I wanted to start some flowers for my daughter and to pretty up the garden a bit. Most of them are great companion plants for veggies anyways. So, last night I sowed 50 more coir pots of seeds (anywhere from 1-4 seeds a pot, depending on seed size, etc.). I did about half flowers & half herbs. Below are lists of the items sowed, along with some example pictures of the flowers. I hope they germinate well, as they're all so beeautiful! =)

Last, but not leat, I received these seeds from a seep swap, finally. With all the maters I already have growing, I still need to try at least a few of Matt's Wild Cherry Tomato! =)

Let me know what you think of my flower selections. Also, I am new to growing all of these flowers & most of these herbs. I will study up on them as I can, but it would greatly help iff you have any hints or tricks for any of them from seed all the way up to adult plant. Thanks!
