CLOSED: DJ9'S " WINTER SEED ROBIN " WISH LIST PT 2

Thanks everyone. Makes me feel better.

Anita, I have purple Sedum seed ready for you. If you are before me in the swap, I will mail them.

Patti, I tried my best and mine aren't commercially clean either. I asked the same question a few months ago and the universal response was that everyone is okay with it on this board. It's so hard to get some of the smaller ones, isn't it? The threadleaf coreopsis got the best of me. ;) Thanks for the crape myrtle seeds - hopefully I'll have some luck with them.

Anita, some of the crape myrtles are supposed to survive the winter here but I've never had one do so. I've tried three different types with no luck so I figured the next time I tried them I would just overwinter them in the house. My family likes to go to Gulf Shores/Orange Beach down in Alabama and I just love seeing them all over down there - just gorgeous!

WHAT A MORNING So busy around here & I don't have time to answer all your questions right now but as soon as I Get dinner in the oven & Over with I Will be back in with a few suggestions :)))

back in about 1pm :)

Happy New Year everyone!
I am presently unable to get the underbed storage box of seeds that I have for all of you as there is a huge pile of gardening magazines in the way. I realize that this is a forum and thread for seeds, wants & haves. Does anyone here want any gardening magazines? I will just mail them to you. Karen, and Corey I have yours set aside. I have a lot more and would like to distribute them to as many people as want them, otherwise that will be donated to senior centers and the public library on Tuesday.

What happed is I promised one of the members here some Organic Gardening, and I did not know that there were other magazines up there. My husband just went up into the attic and handed them to me. By the time he got to the OG magazines I was almost in a state of shock, as we have been working very hard to clean up our clutter and now I have huge piles of magazines on the floor.

If you are interested, just send me your address by d-mail and let me know if you are a beginning gardener, intermediate or advanced, and I will send to that magazine that will be most helpful, hopefully. If you find you don't want them, then just give them to another gardening friend or donate them.

Evelyn I have just the same problem with Books & Magazines Schools & Libraries find them very usefull & it is a cheaper way to find homes for them :) Some times the Local Gardening clubs also find them helpful.
what are the names of ones you have ???

Craig: I Myself Love the twining vines of my Honeysuckle the best & Then I Also have a Porcelain vine
that i like the colors of the berries in the fall.

As for cleaning the seeds comercial clean I also have a problem with that & all I ask you all to do is do the best you can with it , some chaff is ok. I ask that you please do not put pods in the robin please open the pods & let the seeds dry before adding to the robins .

sorry i didn't get back in earlier but had company since lunch time sisters came over we are planning a 98th B-day party for daddy with family & few of the GK"S & GGK"S .

anyway all are gone & I can relax so you all have a great evening I'll be back in the morning

susie

Evelyn, do you have any magazines devoted to herbs? If so, I am very interested..

MARY

Mary ~ The herb magazines have been spoken for, but I can hold back a few issues as there are a lot more than I ever imagined.

Susie ~ The titles are: The Herb Companion, The Herb Quarterly, Fine Gardening, American Horticulturist (AHS), The American Garden (AHS), Horticulture, Garden Gate, Garden Design, The Garden (RHS), Country Living Gardener, Beautiful Gardens, National Gardening, Flower Gardens, Flower & Garden. I did not list Organic Gardening as they are already reserved, and some of the herb magazines are reserved as well, but I can spare a few to two more people.

Some of these, I only have just a few issues. Horticulture, Garden Design and Fine Gardening, there are a lot more. (There might be some more that have just one or two issues.) Some have articles on seed-starting. Mainly they are general interest magazines, but especially for gardening fanatics. (I cannot promise seed-starting articles in every bunch I send out, but I will try to include at least one, *if possible*.)

~ Evelyn

Evelyn, if there is one on colonial herb gardens, please may I have it? That is what I am most interested in reading.

You sure do have a lot of magazines!

MARY

No, Mary. I do not have that one.

karen, did you ever find any mile a minute vine seed? I have a few that I could share with you if you don't find any.

Jennifer, if you don't find any balloon flower let me know. My neighbor gave me a little bit that I could share a few with you.

I Love garden gate Books or mags just tell me how much for postage

evelyn .... I would like to have some of your mags. Not sure which one I want, you choose for me. I have been gardening a long time, but mainly the old 'regulars', not the neat new stuff that I am getting into now. Probably need to get back to the basics, so I would take newbie to intermediate. I also am getting ready to build new flowerbeds so anything along that line would be helpful.
Thank you so much for you offer! That is very kind of you. Sending you dmail.

Crit

The major reason for my interest in colonial herbs is that during my visit to Pennsbury Manor (former estate of William Penn) last fall, I visited the veggie and herb garden and acquired some seeds of a special herb. The spelling provided by the gardener provided (ELEPAGNE) was not helpful.

I remembered that I was successful in finding the correct ID. It is Elecampane. For the past week I spent considerable time in attempting to locate where on my computer I had stored the correct name. Finally found it last night. Whew!!

http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_elecampane.htm

Unfortunately, I only have a few seeds of elecampane. But I am willing to share one-half of what I have to the 1st person who makes the request.

MARY

Very interesting plant information

crit-no never found the mile a minute would really appreciate a few seeds. thank you

Diamond, I have only started amaranthus seeds indoors. If I start them outdoors, the snails eat them as soon as they poke their heads above the earth. Also, if I plant them out too soon, the snails eat them. I have some coming up in seed starter mix right now. I find them a little fragile so anything you can do to strengthen the stem helps. Strong light and perhaps an oscillating fan. I grow Early Splendor from J. L. Hudson. Hope this helps. Cam

Karen,
I have an envie for you to put in the RR. If you are before me, I'll mail them to you. I only had 6 so am sending you 3.
Patti

Karen,
Do you still have French Hollyhocks? I saw you were listed in the plant files as having them and I have been looking for them.

Thx,
Patti

I've been thinking of trying to root a neighbor's gorgeous orange/coral rose. If I try and succeed, I'll post pictures and offer them.

I wouldn't call it "bright" orange. maybe bright for a coral, but on the mellow side for an "orange".
