Susie, I don't know if this is possible for everyone. I had began putting my seeds in individual packages. Those I can use for specific requests. May I put larger quantity of seeds in larger ziplocks? It will save on adding this info to each individual packet.
Common Name
DG user name
Sun requirements
Annual/Perennial
Zones

Is that correct?

Looking forward to seeing the flight path when it's ready.

GM

ANITA I Think when we have lottsa seeds of one Kind then yest we can use a snadwich size or smaller ziplock with the info on the outside everyone take out what they can use of this type &Just be sure lock the baggie up tightly again I also will be doing this with many of my seeds .

there will be about 15 of us in this group & these are mostly all new seeds from our gardens this year it is quite a collecting from what I'm looking at .

I rec'd a box in the mail yesterday & I won;t say from who but i will say when you see the
Packs you will know & I Will add that with all of these pks Plus what I Have I think we might have to go for a MED Flat rate box to start with. the cost cost will always be $10.70 for everyone & That is with conf.

but using a small SWich bag is plenty infact more then 15 people can use so Lets set that as our
4 pk limit as to one kind of seeds.

Hope I have not confused anyone if so let me know .

I really think this info should be posted over on the seed saving forum . This is just a simple seed collecting INFO Here.

as for drying Herbs isn't that why they invented the dehydrator ??
they say rain possible today so going to try to sort the SEED ROBIN I started it last evening I Think it will make going through the Robin so Much Easier For everyone .

No Mail Today So after I get laundry done, Floors Vac'd, Its All My day :) to play I worked all last week out side putting My Bulbs Up For the winter.
& Cleaning up the gardens so today I hope to play & Relax :)
Happy Columbus Day will check back later today .

susie

These are the marigolds that I have saved seeds from. Have saved each individual color.
Spent the day yesterday cleaning seeds and putting them in small zip lock bags, but will transfer to individual sized zip lock bags prior to sending them to Susie.

Maxine

You do Not have to send to me & Looks as if you just put them into SWICH Bags so everyone can just take out what they can use if you want to save on baggies . I know I want to plant lots more this next year . would like some Tall ones if anyone Has them .
On my last cup of coffee so off to check the rest of my mail :)

Lazlo : I see your infor a few storms today Keep inside & also stay well .
ANITA : I Have the Dogwood Berries out to dry I Have to go do some research on them .
Miss our chats :)
have a great day

Susie I have lots of Marigolds. I may have to split them between you and Mary, if no one else wants them. This seed collecting is addicitve! I want to collect all of the seeds just for the heck of it. LoL No I dont want them to go to waste.

Anita, the seeds from 1 marigold pod of each variety will be more than enough for me.

Mary

that is the way i feel i have so so many seeds that will just reseed but I want to share for they are all such pretty plants . Not to share . :) & everyone can try what they want to try out of them also :)

feel as if i have a flu bug coming on this morning Oh I Pray not there is so so much to get done . so i'm just going to go plug along :) Have a great day all

susie

it's ok, I'll have more Marigolds for freinds and family lol

Hi--
I updated my posting on the other thread, and had a question (since this is my first RR):

Do I need to send my seeds in before the robin starts, or put them in when it gets to me?

Thanks!

Bethw336

beth you put them in when the Robin gets to you. & Just keep watch & Post now an again
so that we know you are in the robin with us :)

I still need a few more addresses so if your in the address exchange Just let me know
IF YOU ARE NOT THEN YOU NEED TO SEND IT TO ME .

I want to have everything ready BEFORE The 1st of NOV . ok chat later

Dane,

Is Deep South the name of the city/town?

I live in Harlingen, it is between Brownsville and McAllen.
The area is called Lower Rio Grand Valley or deep south Texas. It's where the Rio Grand goes in the Gulf. The Iwo Jima monument is here.

Hope this helps,
Dane

Sounds like an interesting and scenic area. Nothing going on here but corn.

Dane, we're barrier island nuts and would love to take a trip to your neck of the woods one of these days.

Thanks for the reminder, Susie, you've got me listed.

My virtual trip to the Island

PVC seed starter. Scroll down to dd95172's post. I will soon give it a try.

Dane

That was this post: Post #7448441

Also, thread "Daylilies: starting seeds in pvc pipe":
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1122063/

GM All Just wanted to let you all know How bored i was of laying around had to stop in & Check on you all .

Dane your now Going to plant Daylily Seeds in PVC Pipe ??? Why Not Save the money for PVC & Just plant right into Mother natures Ground ??? That is the best way them Just keep weeds out of them they will grow better for you & Faster :)

has anyone heard of or have any of these seeds ??
ANELONIA
BABY BLUE EYES --NEMOPHILA MENZIESSII
LADY BIRD POPPY
BANE BROG LACE POPPY
PURPLE GLEAM POPPY


Guess you can tell what types of books i have been going through while laying around in this bed??
I have had also a few DG members wanting to send a few Types of seeds to share in out robin & They say they are going to send out soon to me Not sure what all there will be
but they will also be into the robin for all to go through.

well time for me to lay back once again back later in the day have a great weekend everyone .
& thank you forthe well wishes I'm sure i will :)

The origal message was in starting Irises. The people in "Vegetable Gardening: Zones 8-9" are using this method to start their veggies with good results. Found one person who used cut paper towel tubes instead of PVC then planted the whole thing. It's toward the bottom so skip to new.

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1126351/#top

Hope you are getting better.

Dane

Susie, I got Baby Blue Eyes Nemophila menziesii in trade from Sequee a month or two ago. I think she got them from NatureWalker who might be Robin. There are dates of 2006 and 2008 on the label, so they may be 2-4 years old.

It looks like 40 - 50 seeds. I put your name on 20-25 seeds for when the Robin flies.


Here's the notes I took:

================================================
Baby Blue Eyes - - - Nemophila menziesii
4-6" tall. Part-full shade
Freely self-sowing annual
Bloom in spring for 1-2 months.

sow barely covered, outside, in the cold, don't transplant.
(wintersow or in spring?)

Got seeds 2010 via Sequee
(from NatureWalker = Robin?) (2008)

"Nemophila" = woodland-loving or love-grove
