FOTV- i am trying to cover 1/4 acre in just sunflowers, so i would be grateful for any. we are losing all our bees here and i am trying to plants things the bees will like. thank you.

Cam, I'll be glad to add Scarlet Yellow Coleus for you when my order arrives. Sorry I'm not the one that has Fried Egg seeds. Perhaps ME has more?

merrymath, I should have clarified that Pink Banana is Musa velutina, a Banana Plant and isn't a squash. Gotcha down for Ptilotus "Joey".

redbud tree seeds
mimosa tree seeds
castor bean seeds(not sure of name but leaves are green/flowers red)
rose of sharon seeds-red/white/blue mix
mexican sunflowers
morning glory- dont know name but flowers are dark blue with a pink center

Mary,
On the January 9th post, you said you were going to send seeds on the 12th. I don't remember getting them, did I?

Patti/Crit

Oh, I forgot, I have mimosa and redbud seeds too. LOL

Somehow I have lost the lists of seeds. Are they on another thread that I have lost?

Cam

I would like to see your list again too.... can you copy and post it?

Karen - I know you are looking for bees - plant agastache and veronicas. The bees love them.

I've added your requests, Patti. I love growing fresh herbs and cooking with them too. Scroll up to your January 9th post. Is that the list you're looking for?

Corey, could I please have a pinch of
Zinnia elegans "Benary Giant" - Crimson 4-5" giant dahlia-shaped bloom
Zinnia elegans "Benary Giant" - Orange 4-5" giant dahlia-shaped blooms
Zinnia elegans "Benary Giant" - Deep Red 4-5" giant dahlia flowered (smaller qty)
Check the list I posted today and let me know if I have anything you'd like to try.
In the meantime, a bunch of us suffering from cabin fever would enjoy a chuckle from you. What new ditties do you have just waiting in the pipeline?

FruitOTV,

Sure, I was in there recently and none of them were "out" ... should that be sent directly, or go into Round Two?

Corey, could I please have a pinch of
Zinnia elegans "Benary Giant" - Crimson 4-5" giant dahlia-shaped bloom
Zinnia elegans "Benary Giant" - Orange 4-5" giant dahlia-shaped blooms
Zinnia elegans "Benary Giant" - Deep Red 4-5" giant dahlia flowered (smaller qty)


>> would enjoy a chuckle

I have to confess:, if I were relying on my own wit, it would be half-witted at best. I almost think it's like a Muse: if it comes out funny, most likely my fingers just started typing it, and it surprised me and made me laugh as I got a line or two typed, thinking "where did THAT come from?"

Or perhaps its just a demented, dis-associated mental figment or fragment that just happens to have a better sense of humor than my conscious mind.

I wish I could whip them out on command!

(But that does remind me of a joke I heard after one of the Lethal Weapon movies - a guy thought he was Black, but he wasn't really. It was just a pigment of his imagination.)

My favorite in the last few months was (I think) on the "You know you're a seed saver when ..." thread. I was trying to think of a way to express "confessing" to having a seed problem, then started laughing as I saw I was typing "Bless me father, for I have seeds." WHERE DID THAT COME FROM ??

Maybe real life can substitute for wit: it's funny, in a way, that I can consistently be outwitted by rodents.

After problems with cats and squirrels digging up my beds, I decided that my first experiment with bulbs shall NOT suffer from squirrels digiging them up and eating them.

I sprinkled hot Thai pepepr flakes all around.

(I hope I don;t have 5,000 Thai pepper PLANTS this summer!)

I covered the bulbs over with chicken wire.

I staked and weighted the wire down.

I urged my cat to go forth and do battle with the heathen squirrels, but he just yawned at me.

I scowled mightily, shook my fist at the tree rats, and threatened dire consequences if those rotten rodents dared to eat my bulbs!

...

So instead they waited for the bulbs to sprout, and then mowed them off cleanly as the sprouts emerged past the chicken wire.

I swear I heard the squirrels laughing at me and squeeking out
"Please, Sir! May we have some MORE??"

Grrr.

So I spent a few hours today, cutting more chicken wire, propping it up, and staking it into arches like openwork tube tunnels. Stalag Hyacinth.

We'll see who's smarter, me or those rodents!

Corey

Crit

On Jan 14th I posted what I sent out that day

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=8310756

Everything I mailed were in legal sized white envelops.

The envelop I sent to you contained the following

Coleus, Sonatina Velvet Red (Solenostemon scutellariodes)
Coleus, Sonatina Scarlet Yellow (Solenostemon scutellarioides)
Bearded Bellflower (Campanula barbata)


The Coleus seeds were commercial seeds purchased in 2011 and I there were not many in seeds in the packs ... I only have about 10 seeds left of each and I want to keep them for myself.

There are additional packs of the Bearded Bellflower in my For All to Share.

Corey, what program do you use to print your labels?

FOTV -

I would be interested in:
Basil -- Fine Verde
Basil -- Lemon
Basil -- Lime
Lemongrass
Oregano -- Wild Zaatar

I too love to cook with fresh herbs. Does anybody know where I can find some mint, Thymus vulgaris and rosemary?

Cam - I think I have some of the things you are looking for on your list. I'll check to see and let you know.

Fruity, do you still have some of the following that you could send to me?

Bloody Dock
Hyacinth Bean
any zinnias
any sunflowers
corkscrew vine

Thanks!

Everybody's up-to-date with requests in my reserved block up there I started yesterday. Seeds are in packs, so I'm going to start emptying them today and made trade baggies. That way I'll know how many trades of each are left.

Here's what Plant Files says about Musa velutina, Pink Banana:
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/979/

Thanks for the chuckles, Corey.

ANOTHER PLANT TO BRING IN AT WINTER :) hehe

"FOTV....I've added your requests, Patti. I love growing fresh herbs and cooking with them too. Scroll up to your January 9th post. Is that the list you're looking for?"

on your post:
Bloody Dock (Red Sorrel)
Basil -- Fine Verde
Basil -- Lemon
Basil -- Lime
Lemongrass
Oregano -- Wild Zaatar

If you have the pink banana left, i would love to give that one a try!

Yes ma'am. I'm looking for any and all herbs that are "flavored". Also the scented grasses like lemon grass.

Carolyn .... I have some spearmint and chocolate mint. Do you want some of that?

Cam.... I have some mexican tuberose that I just got last spring. Wasn't planning to divide them yet, but I could probably send you a rhizome to get you started.

Crit -

I would love some spearmint and chocolate mint please! Thank you.

I am really missing having fresh herbs at my disposal for cooking...... one thing that I did last year that was a real hit, was I was mixing the fresh herbs with softened butters and perhaps a bit of freshly cracked pepper or some kosher salt. These flavored butters were really great on corn on the cob. They were fun too!

Wow, it does not pay to be away from here for even a day. Yesterday we visited with my huband's sister and her husband who live in Montana, then went shopping after that. I was not feeling well, but just pretended to be well. Does anyone ever do that?

Fruit of the Vine ~ I would LOVE:
Ptilotus "Joey"
Sunflower "Chocolate"
Clytostoma callistegioides “Lavender Trumpet Vine”

IF you have any at all to spare....just a very few seeds would be fine with me. Thank you SO much!

~ Evelyn

for the time being please set aside a small helping of each of the following for me

White Yarrow - Achillea millefolium - no ID

I seem to have overdose on seeds and decided for the sake of sanity to stay away from them for at least several hours ... well time is up ... I'm ready to sort and organize my seeds ... will let you know ASAP if I still need them or if I have them in my seed stash.

I have some Stokes Aster, a little bit Veronica Sunny Blue Border and a smattering of zinnias.

Carolyn

Diamond Girl, next time you're here, check my haves posted up there yesterday and let me know what you'd like to try. I've reserved a few Celosia, Cockscomb "Indiana Giant" for you :) Well don't you just have to try those?!

Carolyn ... great news .... I found your envelop .... I felt it best to pop them into the mail instead of the Robin because it will be some time before you have the pleasure of reviewing the Robin.

Now I will be on the lookout for those seeds that produce hosts for butterflies.

Crit, may I have a small portion of chocolate mint?

MARY

HELP! PLEASE!! I just reviewed yesterday's mail. There was a small bubble envelop containing 3 packs of seeds .... return address is from a Mary _____ in Kentucky.

I don't remember trading or requesting these seeds ... this is really bothering me.

PHEW ... after an extensive review of d-mail ... finally found her .... seems about 2 weeks ago I sent her the postage .... with preparing for the Robin ... reviewing the Robin ... packing the Robin (hoping I did not leave anything out) ...this transaction was totally wiped from my memory.

Off to write a thankyou and post a nice positive comment about her.

PS ... I had already posted the 1st part of this post when I found the d-mail of this transaction .... did not want to just edit and delete it all ... so decided to let you see what an effect the Robin can have on an individual.

MARY
