Oh you have out did everyone I think siichan. Great bid.

Oh my goodness do you see that Seray?

Wow!!! Way to go Siichan! Thanks so much for the bid!

There's some beautiful color for the Newbie's Arejay. Very nice mix. I love the Coreopsis. Easy to grow and blooms all summer.

Hehehe... I was digging through my stash and I have packets of seeds all over my sofa and desk (maybe floor too) now. But I hope you like my bid *crosses fingers*

Way to go Siichan glad you didn't let those fancy flower bids scare you out of bidding. Bet Robin just loves your bid hehehehe

I love your bid bids are a good thing all bids....

I love seed packet messes. I have one of my own from the first contest. They're everywhere. At least you have a good list now of what you have. LOL

Oh, those fancy flower bids did scare me, Mindy, hehehe... I just thought, it doesn't hurt to try.

Alright, now I have to organize the packets back to the fridge. I was having so much fun bidding, I even forgot dinner! lol

I made a seeds database on my spreadsheet lol. My boyfriend offers to create a database software for me. That's so sweet of him. I would have to say no for now, since his work load is crazy. Maybe I can enslave him later lol.

Thats what I am trying to do the trouble comes with updating it everytime I send seeds out...

By the time I forced myself to do that the seeds would be too old to use. LOL I'm like Silas Marner I just go through them regularly. LOL Fess it up! That's more fun anyway. :)

Oh, I can imagine, arejay. It must be a nightmare to update all those stuff.

It would be if I did it...

Hmmm now you have me considering ways to make that updating easier for you. I'll work on it some and get one of my BIL's to help me (though I'm smarter than he is GRIN since last time I asked him a question about making the spreadsheet calculate dates for me I figured it out before he did because he didn't know the program would do it)

Boy, You all are smarter than I am . all I can do it type send and answer mail and start up and shut down on this thing.

We are chattering on Serays auction thread come over here
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1027092/

You can chat all you want but I needs seeds in payment. LOL

LOL you are funny...good idea!!

Well I'm back, and don't think anyone has outbid me yet by a long shot! C'mon people - this is for a good cause. Get ready to fork over your seed stashes. You know you're not going to plant one tenth of them!

This is great we have a new seed recruiter!! You go girl...

Midday Maddog seed collection duo right here. LOL

Thanks, Robin. I'm enjoying it!

Wow this was such a good idea Meekos

Gardengus! I just stepped out and look what I found when I got back. Lots and Lots of seeds. Great mix. Thank you so much for your bid Cinda!

Did you see Robin needed a vacation just thinking about all these seeds. Off to pick blueberries in the Maine woods. LOL

While she's gone......... You know what to do. Pull out your stash, look under your bed, visit your neighbor. :)

And don't forget to pester your friends, relatives and co workers while you are at it LOL

Okay Im finally done cleaning my seed box and harvesting seeds from the garden out back.. lol So here goes my bid for those beauties

Little Marvel Peas -1 pk
Sweet Corn -1 pk
Carrot -1 pk

Cucumber -1 pk
Bell Peppers -1 pk

Champion radish -1 pk
Green bush beans -1 pk

Both below are at least 100 seeds probably more on the coneflower..
Purple Coneflower - ? just harvested a few heads
White Hollyhock - ? Just harvested about and am cleaning

Thats it.. Sorry .. Maybe someone would like them but most I cant grow here and after moving from a zone 9 to a zone 5 Im starting all over..

Alright!!!! Thanks a million Ladybarber.

Hopefully you will enjoy gardening in zone 5! I know the Newbie's will love your seeds.

Maybe we can start a trend. Early fall cleanup. LOL

Loving being bak in Ohio after 9 years Im re-learning the soil and climate... I have a garden growing and a few flower beds along with my first Tall beardeds growing. We have only been here since May.. Cant wait t o really dig in and have blooms next spring.

Cant wait for fall. I stay clipping and want to get some fall ineterest plants..

Put on my snorkel and braved the hot wet air for another seed search and scarf mission this afternoon. Findings: lavender (English, I think, though I should know as it was in my own yard), nigella, rose campion. Thought I had scarfed some monarda seed, but when I took the deceased flower heads apart, I couldn't figure out what, if anything, was the seed. Maybe it had already flown the coop. Same with heliopsis (bressingham doubloon), and I couldn't find any pics of it in the seed database. Does anyone know? Also harvested some more oriental poppy and a few pods of lupine. Quite a bit of the above will be finding their way into my bid for the delectible iris and year of DG and bat seeds, whatever the hell they are.
