Maybe we can lure you into the second Round, Ju?

Going to walk the dog here. Hope everyone is enjoying a warmer day.

(Robin) Blissfield, MI(Zone 6a)

Houston (and by that I mean Garden Buddies), the bird has landed!
The sights and smells are fantastic, I've never seen so many seeds! If I didn't need a bathroom break...

Anderson, IN(Zone 6a)

It 's possible only I don't have the slightest of what I would or could add besides the sample 6 to 10 seeds on average , and that ain't much ,
I have a bunch of common goop ,, not all that special ...
Although some is fun to grow ...

(Robin) Blissfield, MI(Zone 6a)

Susie, lot's of Castor Beans, got your address will email Amanda with the tracking # when she sets flight again.

In fact...thank-you all for the experience, it's a freaking blast!

I can't say it enough to express my gratitude, but again, thanks for the seed gifts that hold so much promise. I gotta go to bed now and get rid of this kink in my neck...

Hiya Susie.

You mean an interest thread? Sure, that's probably a good idea. Hop right on it.

Robin I am glad you are enjoying it so. My first time was the same...in fact every time is the same. :)

It is a little different from this end of the perch, but I am looking forward to seeing what's left when she gets back to me.

Enjoy!


Phoenix, AZ(Zone 9b)

I pick Feb 27th

Iowa City, IA(Zone 5a)

March 6!

Greensboro, NC(Zone 7b)

Hi all - today was a long hard day. Glad to be prone. Hope you also enjoyed slightly warmer temps. It was a pretty day too. Glad for that too. :)

Susie would you mind keeping the guess list going till I get my head on straight? Should be some time well into the second Round.

Speaking of which I did not get to start that thread. Distracted by the crazy neighbor Lady screaming for help because her car died, was towed, and she left her bourbon in the trunk. Hurry, hurry can you take me to the ABC store?

Seriously. HahaHaha I do NOT make this stuff up.

I'm home all day tomorrow so will get busy tidying up our threads. Keep us posted on your progress Robin. I am so jealous. :)

Thanks

Denise, I've packed some French Marigolds for ya too.

(Pam) Warren, CT(Zone 5b)

Oh good, I'm before you and I have tons of Marigold seeds. This mix is mostly Durango and Disco, they're all about 12"

Greensboro, NC(Zone 7b)

Have I given anyone any of our heirloom "Bessie's Marigolds?"

We didn't have a single volunteer this past summer and in a panic, I tried to germinate some old seed. I'd read marigolds don't keep long, but managed to get a few plants and even to bloom and mostly dead now here in the house. Ha ha haa - but I DID get a breathful of seed. Not much, but we cherish these and would love to have seed back from someone we've shared with - particularly if I can't get THESE to grow.

Otherwise, I have plenty of marigolds, thanks. :)

Going to get those other threads started today - another emergency. A DIFFERENT neighbor today called at 7:14 a.m. to ask if I could go to her house and sit with her boyfriend who was suffering from vomiting and diarrhea 2 days after rotator cuff surgery. She is a nurse and had gotten in her car to go and get him some IV fluids. HE is the one who, when she was leaving said, "Maybe you should call for Amanda to come over while you're gone."

You know a man has to be Pretty bad off if he's asking for that kind of company.

He was, but they were grateful for my help, as we've helped each other now and then with dogs and such (more so my favors for them, but I told her today that when we move from here her favor to me will be to take and keep my 55 gallon fishtank so she'd better start planning for a place to put it).

-sigh- been a busy day running for them and haven't even fed the iguana yet. Just checking in. Again - I DON'T make this stuff up. :/

The Orange-Breasted Thrush was gently given flight again today, ferrying some God given delights towards Hastings Michigan.

Alas, in my state of mind, I quickly forgot to record the weight of the package, I just wiped my eyes dry and walked away sobbing. Susie, if you have a scale, can you do me a favor and weigh it for the 'Seed Nazi' (self named) or no more seeds for me.

Thanks in advance...ENJOY!

Prescott, AZ(Zone 7b)

I bought some tall white marigold seeds for planting this year(I wish they put more in the pack so I could share, but I think I got these at Sample Seeds. I can't wait to see how they do. I promise to save lots of seed for next years' robin. I'm really interested in "tall" marigolds, if these do well I'll be looking for more colors, LOL. I put in way too many short marigolds last year. I put them next to a path and they just about overgrew the path. I'm moving them this year, they will surround the butterfly garden and vege garden. You can't beat a marigold for easy care.

(Robin) Blissfield, MI(Zone 6a)

Dee, you can't beat a Marigold for companion planting also.

Iowa City, IA(Zone 5a)

I loooooove the Disco marigolds. I had them this year, and they bloomed like crazy. Wasn't sure if they would come true from seed, but I would like some if they do. The last marigolds I tried from seed came out all leggy and shaggy and not at all like the parent.

Robin, great job letting go. :)

Amanda, you deserve a do-gooder badge.
