Hope everyone has a great day!

Ok I 'm the tag along today LOL
Good morning Everyone. Foggy out here. Glad to hear you are feeling better Cue. Soon as I can see where the heck I'm going it's weeding time for me again. But I'm about to get caught up on that job. Have some poison ivy to get around first though UGH. Done got into some of it last night which is what I get for not wearing my gloves when weeding that section. Maybe DH remembered to go pull it out for me before he left for work this morning. He's not allergic to it.
Trying to think what to bid on the new seeds Mekos put up. Don't have anything to beat the bid already up though POUT. Oh well, I can always wait until she has hers going good then beg for some later LOL.
hi all good morning a little late.
off to work have a good day all
de blond
Morning everyone! Another busy day at the office . . .
I'll check in later.
Morning everyone. That is such a magical picture, Cue! I want to have a backyard like that lol.
Hi everyone. Cute Mindy.LOL I've been filling little baggies with seeds all morning so they can go in the mail. One of the bidders didn't send the address info. yet so if anyone sees starlight around, let her know, mail can't go without names and addresses. Great auction. This one should be interesting. Mindy get in there and bid, you never know if yours is good enough or not. It's just to have fun anyway. Not to intimidate anyone. Cue, I'm sending you a cutting of the black fingery potatoe vine and the black african poinsettia plant so watch out for the rooted plant. I will wrap it good. Got to go take care of stuff outside for a while, and get my compressor put on and gassed up for my truck. Then got to go get an altenator for the hubbys truck. It's going out. Man all this at the same time. Will check in a little later. Have a good day everyone and don't work too hard.
If you haven't made bids for the new seeds yet, get on over there. You never know, yours may be the one I'm looking for.
Just got a d-mail from the management of DG and they officially CONGRATULATED me on the creative way to trade seeds, so the AUCTION is officially ON!! NOW GO MAKE THOSE BIDS.
Congratulations Mekos on the encourgement from management. I've been thinking and thinking and have a question does it have to be seeds or can I offer something else like a garden themed crocheted doily? I'm askinig here first so as not to stir up a flurry over there.
siichan- isnt that a great pic? Im almost positive it was photohopped, but still.. looks like a gardeners paradise. I say we all move there and start our own commune...ROTFL.
mekos - will keep my eye out for the package! Glad the staff approved the seed auction, told ya they would :)
ok, can anyone suggest a few good places to get seed catalogs from?

Park Seed http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/GP/homepage/page1
High Country Gardens http://www.highcountrygardens.com/
No catalog, but I love the seeds from Botanical Interests:
http://www.botanicalinterests.com/store/shop.php
Those are some of my favorites . . . .
Thanks loca. I ordered one from parkseed, one from burpee, and one from high country gardens.... will be like shopping the xmas catalogs when they arrive...LOL
High Country Gardens is one of my favorites - I want at least one of everything they have - lol. Botanical Interests has some neat seeds as well. Small family run Colorado company - excellent customer service and all my seeds have had pretty close to 100% germination. Their seed packets are a wealth of information!
I also get the Burpee Catalogs and Seed Saver's Exchange - nice catalog.
no kidding loca.. just checked out BI... wow.. i want one of everything too!!!
They are cool peeps and they sell great seeds. I have bought a lot of seeds from them. They don't have the variety some places have, but they have a nice selection and they have a good work ethic . . . and I like that!
Cue, try thompson and morgan. Google them and they are online and have catalogs they can send out. You sign up on the site.
Mindy , I don't know about the doily trades on the auction forum since it's for trading seed. I personally would be ok with it, but you might want to ask the administration about tradeing that on the seed forum. I honestly don't know, but if ya want to trade me for seed, just d-mail me with what you'd like for one. We can work a trade. If admin. says it's ok, we'll sure put them up and trade them. There is even another forum that is called swaps trades and other stuff(or something like that -you might even try and see if it works for those as well. Show them off everywhere you can. They are beautiful.
Siichan, you got to watch that Cue- She is over at my auction thread trying to hijack my bidders, already.( Hehehe.)
Hi Loca. I guess Blondie is still at work. Where is Seray hiding? And Flower? Anyone know when Arejay is getting back? Where is Al? I missed that great Bar-b-que.
the plan is... if I hijack all your bidders, then i wont have any competition for the puya seed... mwahahahahahaha
and BTW.. in case anyone is interested... park seed is having a seed sale.. go check it out www.parkseed.com
OMG - just what I need . . .
more seeds
LOL... well, me either, but for 75 cents.. its hard to pass them up
I hear ya there. I'm never one to pass up a good sale. I'll check it out when I get home from work. Later y'all!
Just busy trying to get stuff done around the house. We're packing up for a road trip South to Washington and Delaware. Wifey has a music conference next week, later on we're bummin' around the Fenwick Island Atlantic coast area on the way home. Leaving early Thursday, gone about 10 days or so.
Al
Hi Everyone
Digging up Cannas to send out before the storm. That auction is a hot place!! Maybe we should talk Al into flying to Chile to get some Puya. Cue there's a black Puya. Check out this site. http://fcbs.org/images/Puya/pu06.jpg
I'm trying to get seeds for Mekos to auction. :)
ROTFL....HAHAHAHAHAHA.. I got to have that plant now.. not because its black, but because it borders on obscene!!!!
I tried but it said access forbidden. I can't see it. Where do they have seeds for it at? Where can I see the picture?
here mekos, try this link
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/79/Puya_Raimondii.JPG
Chili is a long stretch to fly in the little Cessna. Maybe we should all just go commercial, relax and enjoy!
Al
i gave her a different link to try
her IP may not be able to access the link you gave her
OH MY GOODNESS!!! Did you guys hear me screaming??? That looks like a huge yucca in black. Man. Who has seeds to that?
Edited to say:: I had to go take another look see. Man -O-Man.

You guys gotta stop before I go broke. I can't resist- Pretty.

That is truely ugly stuff. You want to go to Chili for that?
If I find a black sunflower Cue, I'll gladly send you some seeds.
Al
woot, now that would be a great addition to the garden for sure!
seray.. doesnt look like annie has much in stock at all right now.
Hey Al, while you are out there, (looking for plants anyway- hehehe,) take us some pictures of the flowers you see along the way. Anything unusual. Love orchids if you see some. Cue would love to see anything in black, I'm sure. Have a safe trip. Yell at us when you get back.
