Hello Absinthe27, Chris316, Carolinaflower8 ans Toy747,
I will put some extra packages of the seeds you ask for in my envelope and label them with your names.

I would like to join the timing is good for me but I won't have my lists together until the end of the month is that ok?

Sue G

Outlawheart81 - I would love some Dwarf White Sugar Peas and Rattlesnake Pole Beans.

I totally lost track of this. Let me see what, if anything, I can do by the 15th.

Sure thing, just let me know.

Hahaha :) ok, sorry for the confusion guys!
Yes I threw away everything older than 2011
Turns out all I have after is peas and beans. If its ok with legallyheidi I will throw in the extras besides my 5 for those who wanted them. If I have extra bags. :)
I will put your name on the phlox Carolina. I will see if I have any seeds that are larger than 20 per bag maybe I can make a few extras that way, but I tried to be generous. :) ok so I am re sorting now and I will be checking out any clearance seeds I can find!!! :)

Yup, bonus seeds are totally fine. Just mark them as bonus seeds.

Outlaw,
If you kept the seeds in your Freezer the older ones may
still be viable - just not tradable.
In 2009 I was visiting a nearby gardener. She gave me some
frozen '02 Holly Hock seed & I didn't think they'd grow but they
sure did !! You'll notice that only 50% grew.
Keep all my seeds in their own mini fridge.

I have been informed by my niece that I need to request

BLUEBERRY
DAYLILY (PURPLE VARIETIES)
DAISY (BESIDES WHITE)

hahaha she is 4 and loooooves to garden with me! :) mostly just playing in the "soil" and holding worms! hahaha she thinks they are cute... lol

Also, if it's not too much trouble can I request

from flinter:
Aquilegia canadensis
Centaurea cyanus Black boy
Centaurea montana Alba


from midwestfarmerswife:
NuMex Big Jim Chili Pepper
Cherokee purple tomato

absynthe27:
Shirley Poppy ‘Double Mixed’
Tomato 'Brandywine'
Tomato 'Green Zebra'

oh dear... i am trying to downsize... i no longer have acreage... what am i doing??!!! hahah hoarding seeds!




also mike, i have red monarda, or oswego tea seeds available i can go pick for you if you would like, now sure what color chris has, but if anyone has other colors of monarda/bergamot/beebalm/oswego tea... lol whatever ya call it! let me know!!! :)

Flinter,
I am also interested in your Asarina.
Thanks so much!

update!!!

I found more seeds...

legallyHeidi-- I have banana melon seeds from baker creek packed for 2009... I will throw them in for you as a freebie to try out! :) there are quite a few seeds in the pack, you may get a few?

Mike2147-- i found some pink monarda fistulosa seed so i will throw one in for you, and i will try to collect some red tomorrow.

OutlawHeart81 - I can definitely put your name on those.

Kelly, do peony poppies bloom the first year from seed?

Yes, I am going to pass this time, Heidi. Hopefully next time. :)

Outlaw, I have packs of African mixed daisy. The pic shows oranges/yellows. Would you like a pack for your niece?

I just received a shoebox full of seed from Sunshinegal on Gardenweb...lot of good stuff!

Amanda, I am not sure. I have always liked them and my brother and I are hellbent on starting some poppies. We love them, but can't get any to start from seed. Right now I am planting Danish flag poppies. We'll see! *fingers crossed*

Carolinaflower8 I would love whatever colors beside white as we already have them. Becky I believe. :)

I have always had difficulty with poppies till this year.

Friend from CA advised to direct sow the CA poppy. I did in Jan or Feb and they've been gangbusters.

Last season I sprinkled a small pack of pink peony poppies in a terra cotta pot with chocolate mint. Thought they would look nice together (?!). They didn't germinate last year but did so this spring. From past experience know they don't like transplant so I left them. They grew to a certain size, but the mint was growing faster.

Against my judgment I decided to take those poppies out of there. I was impressed with the long white Tuberous roots ! I disentangled the 5 or 6 that were still alive and transplanted to individual pots. All are growing New leaves and look healthy. I looked them up again and they are supposed to bloom all summer, but no signs of flowers here. Still very pleased with them. Maybe next year.

Amanda...the peony poppies are only annual....
Outlaw...I would love some red Monarda....
Seed collected this am:
1.Veronica spicata 'SightSeeing Blue', 28", bloom spring to frost if DH (deadheaded), these are the tallest on the market, great vase life, they can reseed in the garden but not often...Pix 1

The jjs are a mix of these colors.

Has anyone ever winter sown Dusty Millers? I'm making a purchase from Swallowtail in a few weeks, and am thinking of trying them. I love them, but in the past few years the local nurseries and stores haven't kept them in stock for long.

Never started from seed Heidi, but planted a couple of six packs in 2011 and they have survived/thrived all this time in my zone. They have cute yellow button flowers in summer. Love them.

I did them from seed one year... Spindly little things, nothing like the sturdy little seedlings I used to get in 6-packs. Since then I have better lights, that would probably have helped. But they're not great in my zone anyway, not enough heat for long enough, so I never bothered again.
