I have added some seeds to the list.
DJ'S 2ND TIME AROUND PT 2
Evelyn,
I would like some Maththiola longipetela ssp. bicornus - Night-Scented Stock
and a wee bit of Anagallis linifolia - Blue Pimpernil
plus a healthy helping of Antirrhinum majus 'Bride' - White Snapdragon
I'll mail you on Tuesday, (PO closed Monday) wave petunia seeds (mystic pink, blue, and red).
Just had a little scare ... power went out for a few minutes (entire street). After power returned, I went to check to see if the other dwellings had lights on and discovered 2 nice packages filled with wonerful magazines. Thank you so very much Evelyn!

*a healthy helping? Does that mean you want two?*

****Thank you very much for the 'Wave' petunias. Are these from a commercial source or did you save these?
Just had a little scare ... power went out for a few minutes (entire street). After power returned, I went to check to see if the other dwellings had lights on and discovered 2 nice packages filled with wonderful magazines. Thank you so very much Evelyn!
You are SO welcome!

Maxine ~ I am confused here. I thought that you were participating in the first robin, but not the second one. Will our box be going to you, or were you referring to the first robin's box?? Should I be mailing you the seeds directly? What about all the others that are on this robin...??? (Evelyn - spinning around in circles...)
EVELYN You Will have to mail Maxines to her for she will not be in the 2nd time around & She is the last one on the 1st robin .
you will only send direct to the ones that are before you NEWBIE CRAIGBENNETT-----MI
NEWBIE MELLEN---------IOWA . RICKCOREY----------WA
if you have a trade with them :) all the rest can go into the robin .
Maxine I Know how you feel , I Have looked in wal-mart & K-mart No small ones looking for the 3x5's i would like.
guess i will have to look online.
well off to chat with my brother in TX so You All have a great evening .

FYI for small zip baggets AC Moore or Michael's or JoAnn's fabrics
The following is a link that contains a 40% off (only good for 1 item) from AC Moore.
http://www.unretailme.com/printable-coupon/1_22_2011-AC-Moore-3-Printable-Discount-Coupons.pdf
Michael's and JoAnn's and Michael's all honor each other's coupons ... no questions asked.
I used the 50% off coupon yesterday (was only good for Jan 17th) at Michael's and gave the guy behind me the 40% off coupon. I only bought a box containing 175 of the 3 x 5 baggets. Original price was $2.99.
Attention 2nd round Robin participants
I am willing to share some seeds of what I just ordered from park seeds.
Cockscomb 'Amigo Mahogany Red' (Celosia argentea cristata)

Basil Osmin (Ocimum basilicum Osmin)
http://www.parkseed.com/gardening/store/TextSearch?storeId=10101&SearchUnion=Y&CustSearchText=0301
Peppermint (Mentha x piperita)
Terrific rodent deterrent

MARY
Mary,
May I have just a few Peppermint seeds?
Corey
Mary - got your seeds in the mail today!
Thank you so much.
Corey .... recorded your request for peppermint seeds.
Thanks again Mary!
Corey
Mary ~ I would love to have some of the Prunella 'Freelander Blue'. I just hope I can keep it moist enough during the summer months.
Evelyn, I have recorded your request for Prunella 'Freelander Blue'.
Walmart here has the 2 X 3 inch bags for $1 for 100, the same bags at ac moore or Michaels is $1.99. they are in the craft section in Walmart near the glass beads.
Th childrens beads are in a different aisle in Walmart. crazy. For the longest time I didn't look around and thought they didn't carry glass beads.
Recd. seeds from Merrymath yesterday. Thank you so much, looking forward to seeing them in bloom this summer. With 9 hanging pots to fill, sometimes I end up purchasing things.
Maxine
Mary, may I have some cockscomb seed?
I found my small seed envies in crafts dept at Wally World, too. Almost missed them!
The small bubble envelopes are in the stationary department. There are all kinds of regular and bubble envelopes, all sizes.

Evelyn, a padded envelope is going out in todays mail.
Thanks so much for the seeds.
Oh my pocket book thanks you also.
Maxine
merrymath
cocksconb & Prunella 'Freelander Blue' For me please
ANNETTE : I Was asking for the Bubblewrap envies I cannot find them here in our town & I Do not get to the big city
guess i will have to ask my niece to stop off for me :) I'm sure she would .
well I'm redoing a room this winter so will try to get back when I Can .
susie
I have recorded the following requests
Crit: Cockscomb 'Amigo Mahogany Red' (Celosia argentea cristata)
Susie: Cockscomb 'Amigo Mahogany Red' (Celosia argentea cristata) and Prunella 'Freelander Blue' (Prunella grand flora)
Susie, you can create your own bubble envelops using zip sandwich bags. Use a straw to blow a little air into baggie, zip close, fold over and tape the folded baggie. Use two these to line a regular envelop.
I have given up on WallyWorld as a source for zip baggets .... they never have them in stock! A trip to WallyWorld is a considerable greater distance away for me. JoAnn's is very close .. with AC Moore & Michael's (many Michael's are right next door to AC Moore) only another 1/2 mile more. Since there are frequent % off coupons for those closer where I do find the baggets, I am able to purchase them for less than a penny apiece. I have noticed that these stores do not offer them in 100 counts.
My recent purchase of 175 (3 x 5) cost me $1.49 plus 6% sales tax. The 2 x 3 baggets are priced at $1.99 .. but you get 175 baggets ... so the 2 x 3 would have cost me with tax $1.06.
MARY
Since I dont use the big bubble wraps as often as the small ones, I measure off and cut the big ones up and make small one using packing tape or you can also place the bubble wrap inside a regular envelop. Sometimes this is actually cheaper to mail. Cam
Mary Are you looking in the Jewery DEPT At wal-Mart ??? this is where they are in our store.
sorry got to go back later
