MARY

Mary if these are not Japanese as you had on the baggie then what ever I Did guess it worked for they are about 3 inches tall already , & they were out of what you sent to share with us :) guess i will find out as it grows .

if you have any of the Japanese maple seeds left maybe you can put a few seeds in the robin for me .
I will keep the link above so i will know what to do with them .
if anyone has any seedlings of any Japanese maples I sure would love to trade for them . this spring when we have our plant swaps .

well off to check out more seeds

I am sorry to hear you have not been feeling well Susie. I hope you can get your issues resolved.

Those don't look much like Mimosa seedlings either, at least not the most common one around here, Albizia julibrissin. They remind me a little of the pretty native Honey Locusts that like to spread throughout my yard.

Have a good evening,
Alana

There are no honey locust trees near me.

I did find this site for a picture of a honey locust seedling

Patti, could you add an envie of the pink crape myrtle for me? I just love crape myrtle and I have a good sized pot to put it in so I can overwinter here.

Isn't Crepe Myrtle a perreniel in your zone Janae?

OK Di, will do. Hope they sprout for you!

You are ahead of me so I will put some in the mail to you.

Patti

FYI The order listed above is NOT the probable flight pattern of the 2nd ROBIN.

DeeJay will post the projected flight pattern after she has time to determine the best overall route for it to take.

OK ....now off to make packets of Bearded Bellflower (Campanula barbata) seeds for

Carolyn, Crit, and Janastone. Anyone else want some?

MARY

me too please

Oh Mary!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I never met a campanula I didn't like!

Thanks for the info Mary

Mary- I would love to have some of your Bellflower seeds.

Jennifer

Jennifer and Karen, Bearded Bellflower (Campanula barbata) seeds packets are reserved for both of you.

Look what I found at Dollar Tree

http://www.dollartree.com/party-supplies/Baby-Shower/baby-organza-bags/207c346c346p297148/index.pro

You may want to look for them in the Baby Shower section the next time you visit a Dollar Tree.

You know that when seed collection time rolls around again they will probably not be there ... Murphy's Law!

MARY

Me, too! May I please have some of your Bellflower seeds?

Anita, a packet of Bearded Bellflower (Campanula barbata) seeds has your name on it.

MARY

thank you Mary! Has anyone sown amaranthus seeds inside? I want to get started on some of the Summer Poinsettas now. I have kept Coleus and Rose of Sharon inside for a long time but I have never tried the Amaranthus.

Hi Everybody, I have a question for you all. my wife and I are going to be building a large pergula with our income tax money and I was looking for suggestions on the best type of vine to grow on it. any suggestions would be appriciated. thanks

I have a ? as to how you all get your seeds so clean??? My thumbs have arthritis and it is hard for me to physically pick them out, such as Moss Rose.....they are so tiny! I used a kitchen strainer then a smaller mesh strainer, but I still have a lot of chaff in them. When I do seeds just for myself, I don't worry about the chaff and plant it all together. I'm embarrassed that my seed are not going to be 'commercial package clean', but there ARE seeds in there! :-)) I hope this is OK with everyone!

Thanks for the big welcome everyone! I am on dial-up, but usually have no problem with getting to the latest post.

I have a large variety of seeds, but just a few of each. It will take me a while to make up a good list. In the meantime, any special seeds that you all are wanting?

I have to go now, but will be back later.


Cheers! (Happy New Year everyone!)


Evelyn

Craig, what zone are you in? I personally like the Morning Glory and the Passion Vine. Both can be invasive. Morning Glory is a heavy reseeder so you will only have to plant once. Passion Vine may not be a perenniel in your zone. Those two grow very fast and may cover your percula the first year if you plant early enough.

Crit, the first thing I try with harvesting seeds is placing the blooms/seed pod in a paper bag and leaving them sit for a few days. Then I try to shake some seeds loose. If they come out easily I continue with that method. Coneflowers are the tough ones because they are so prickly and time consuming.

Welcome Evelyn! What seeds are you looking for? I want Summer Poinsettas, Elephant Head Amaranthus, Peony double bloom, Hygrangea, Euphorbia and Purple Sedum. For some reason I am into the purples, orange, red and yellows. LoL

Craig

My own personal preferences for a pergola are either a climbing hydrangea or a climbing rose with clematis growing through it.

Crit - I use an old plastic spice jar with the removeable disk on the top that has the holes. This works for a great many seeds. Personally speaking, I don't get my seeds commercial seed perfect either. I don't think it is worth sacrificing valuable seeds for a few peices of chaff. Besides - Mother Nature plants her seeds with chaff.

Carolyn

CRIT Chaf does not bother me. I'm happy with receiving seed pods. I figure the chaf has to at least provide some nourishment to my growing medium.
