Thought I'd start this thread as a place to chat about what we're growing, or wish we were growing, and to potentially coordinate with others before we get geared up for another swap.

Here is a list of seeds that I *just* ordered, so if all goes well, I hope to have some of these plants available in the Spring:

Yellow Fortnight Lily
Sedum Rock Garden Blend
Poppy 'Pizzicato'
Musk Mallow 'Pink Perfection' (500+ Seeds)
Moonflower
Lily of the Nile
Hen & Chicks (Sempervivum)
Giant Dracaena 'Purple' - Cornish Palm
Canna 'Marabout'
Canna Lily 'Tropical Red'
Orange Jasmine

I'll be propagating a lot more than what's listed above, but I just wanted to throw this up here while it's fresh on my mind.

I am currently on the lookout for elderberry bushes. One cultivar that I definitely want is 'black lace', but I haven't had luck getting seeds and I'm a wee bit put off by the prices that I'm seeing online. Am also on the lookout for herbs or edibles with blue/gray, black, or red foliage. I'm trying to landscape my place with as many "useable" plants as possible.

10SEP07: I just ordered 1 red currant, 1 black currant, and 1 gooseberry plant from Whitman's. I cannot wait to pick berries! http://www.whitmanfarms.com/default.asp
