Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

sherman, It was me that wanted Autumn Joy seeds. Do you still have some? Cam

Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

Crit, you left me off. You were going to send me small zinnias and scarlet runner beans. Thanks, Cam

Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

Oops, Crit. My mistake. It was Sherman I was thinking of. Cam

Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

DJ, When you re-copied the route, you forgot that LA is next door to Texas so I should mail to her and she would mail to MS which is East of her. Thanks. Cam

Morrisville, PA(Zone 6b)

Steadycam, I can provide you with perrenial sweet pea seeds.

I would like some seeds of the following:

Ageratum houstonianum
okra, emerald
lemon cucumber
snowbird, snow pea
Sunflower, evening sun


MARY

Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

I will set them aside for you. I would like some Lemon Grass seed if you still have some. Cam

Morrisville, PA(Zone 6b)

OK steadycam, I will reserve some Lemon Grass seed for you.

MARY

Merry-oh, oh, me waving and jumping up and down, if you have any sweet peas left may i have some? who am i kiding, i am too old to jump up and down, so, just me waving.

thanks

steady-have the sedum, will add to your env.

thank you. i think i am going back to my childhood, wanting to plant all the things i had as a child, that i remember smelling so good !

Sierra Foothills, CA(Zone 8a)

Karen ~ Perennial sweet peas have no fragrance. I will be happy to send you some ones that do have fragrance. You just save a few seeds of the best flowers and pick them often beforehand and you will get a long flowering period. If you grow a perennial sweet pea, which properly should be called perennial pea or perennial ornamental pea, they have deep tap roots. In just the right climate they can get out of hand. Would you like a variety of colors? The annuals have fragrance and many colors, the perennial pea has deep pink, medium pink, light pink and white.

I have been trying to dig out the perennial pea out of one of my square foot gardens for a couple of years now, but will probably just let it flower this year, since there is no easy way to remove it, other than herbicide, which I do not use, or to dig out completely after completely emptying the bed and digging down a few feet. Still, if all the root is not all out, it re-appears like mint. (At least mint is edible!)

Now, of course, after saying all that, I planted some white perennial pea aginst the fence, and so far not much result, but possibly it is because DH weed-whacks that area, since it is a bit weedy come late spring. The white pea is desireable in certain circumstances, but you have to know its drawbacks as well, but especially if you are looking for fragrance, as it does not have any.

Sierra Foothills, CA(Zone 8a)

If there is a seed that you are wanting, please put it on your want list and if I have it, I will share it. If you see something on this list, please let me know and put it on this thread to let others know that you already asked for it, since I do not have so many trades of each type of seed. I will try and check in at least once a day so I can update this list to let you know what is still available.

Oakland, MD

I got two plants today in the mail I think they are lilies and the thing is that I don't know who the person is that sent it. It is from Mary in NC. It was a surprise to me I did not know that I was getting the plants. I have potted up.

My Desk Top computer keep the Can thank goodness I have a backup Laptop Computer.

It is very cold here and the wind is blowing hard.

Jennifer

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

susie

Sierra Foothills, CA(Zone 8a)

Susie ~ When does this robin start? I hope to finish putting up my list tomorrow. I want to be sure to get my seeds repackaged as I do not have any clear plastic bags, just paper ones.

Western, WI(Zone 4a)

Wow Evelyn, do you ever have a bunch of seeds!
Would like the following, please?
1-[1] package of each of the lettuce. I am a lettuce nut as I have to grow it, as I have acid reflux and a hiatial [spelling] hernia.
2-black beauty zucchini
3-golden zucchini

I will gladly pay you postage for these seeds. Did you quit gardening? I am planning on putting in more as my son wants to share garden and work to produce it. He lives on extremely poor sand, almost what we consider blow sand. Doesn't raise much of any thing except those pesky weeds.

Maxine

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

Evelyn as soon as the Robin that is going around right now gets back here I will remove seeds that others have shared with me then add ones I Have for you all then it will go back in the air we are hopeing about 1St Part of march .

Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

Evelyn, If you have enough, I would like some Sugar baby watermelon, a purple or red basil and the banana legs tomato.

Houston Heights, TX(Zone 9a)

Susie, I have two kinds of Brug seeds. One is yellow and the other I forgot to label. I will put some aside for you if you wish. Cam

Sure, but I will have to check in merrymath's envelope to see if there are enough 'Banana Legs' seeds to split. Otherwise I will look to see if I have more in another envelope. I'll let you know.

The others are set aside for you.

Morrisville, PA(Zone 6b)

Evelyn ... I am only hoping to have one Bananna Legs tomatoe seed germinate .... so split those seeds ... if I fail to have success with what you send, then it was not to be.

Large watermelons have a longer growing period. They do very well in the South. I have not even tried any here. I am sure they would do well in the warmer inland areas of Southern CA as well, but not sure about MI. Are you in zone 4 or 5?

Last year we had snow in May and then rain and hail after that. Not sure what this year will bring as it is different every year. The cool-weather veggies did great until the middle of August, and that is definitely unusual. Sometimes summer will start in May and then last until November, then we have winter. It will be interesting to see what the weather will be this year.

Craig, I can share some "Crimson Sweet" with you but the pkg says they can get to 25 lbs and they take 85 days to harvest. If you start them inside and plant out in May or June, you could expect harvest Sept 1st. Do you have frost by then? If not you might have success. They like sandy soil and full sun. Let me know. Cam

Eaton Rapids, MI

Steadycam-are crimson sweet melons round with stripes? if so my neighbor grew them last year. I think you have to have a little luck with the weather but it is posible.I am in zone 5. the suger baby did great last year for me. I looked up the days to maturity on the melons- suger baby - 80-85 days, crimson sweet - 85 days, moon and stars - 82-95 days.
I usully just let the melons grow in with my other plants- kind of my version of intercroping. if I can get a couple seeds of each varity I might try one plant of each and see what happens. thanks.

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

this is an idea this is what I did when I set up a Robin for another group. I used map guest and put the address in and it tells you how many miles. Just put in my address and the starting point and then use the other two's address as the ending point and that will give you an idea. It was a big help to me.

Evelyn, I believe the list contains only the 1st ten recipients of the 2nd Robin.

(susie) Hastings, MI(Zone 5a)

The Robin has 15 players I was just showing the changes in the flight as others has suggested to me .

Jen & Eve thank you & I would do that if i was up to it but untill my doc calls to change my dose of coumadine up or down I cannot think well with these head throbs .

this is why i ask the gals to tell me for they live out in that area sorry for cheating but its all i can do right now to keep meals fixed & Tring to get the family around for daddy witch I Have passed it over to my sisters to do.

I'm really hoping for my doc to call me today but i think that is just a dream :(
if no change is needed we will leave as is :)
thank you all & I do hope to be back to normal soon.
susie

Morrisville, PA(Zone 6b)

Susie, I checked with USPS. The distances from Jen to either Carolyn or myself, are within the same range. At most there is a 15 mile difference (but not as the crow flies). Or should I have said ...as the robin flies?

columbia, TN(Zone 7a)
