    I did my beds last autumn with a thick layer of manure. Soread manure again during the summer. My first go at composting seems to be going okay. When I aerate it there is some heat.

    How invasive is Lysimachia "Aurea", Creeping Jenny.

    In damp soil it can be a thug. I spent as much time pulling it out in our last garden as anything else (except Lysimachia Firecracker).

    How to store seeds?

    The unopened seed packets will be fine, generally have a sow by date on them. Morning Gllory (Ipomea) seed keeps fairly well just dry in an envelope the nasturtium should be alright as well.
