Shirley, we blamed you before you even posted this ( smi____Ie). thanks for the links. I never saw the tinyseeds one before...lots of neat stuff. gram

Yes, I know.... I got you to look, gram! :~)

Shirley: thanks for helping me "save money"! LOL!
Deb

You're welcome Deb, enjoy!

How do we save money buy spending all the time. Is this an oxymoron. hehe Just repeating my DH reasoning. I am an addict and I don't want help. LOL The day I quit spending money on beautiful flowers is the day I am pushing up daisies from the other side.

Has anyone ordered from Tiny seeds before? I don't see them in the garden watchdog ratings. Yet, I find myself ready to take my chances with them. LOL

Arggg! I tried so hard to avoid this thread and now I'm busy checking out Tinyseeds.com. Shirley!!!!!

Joanne

I've never ordered from Tiny Seeds before either. It's totally up to you if you want to take a chance. If you do, please let us know your experience.

Yes, I know I'm STILL enabling everyone!

Yeah, and put the info in Watchdog so everyone wil know!

I haven't ordered from tiny seeds....but I found some botanical interest seeds on a seed rack (cant resist seeds wherever I see them). I had got three packets and all three did very well. NO complaints here. I noticed that the art work on the packages and the name botanical interests is the same as the tiny seed packets so I think the company must be the same.

Here is a list of all my seeds and this doesn't even include some of the trade packets. I'm not sure that I'll sow all varieties, but I sure will give it a try!

GGGGGGGoooooooOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY! If I had that many seeds to plant, I'd have to go into business and hire a crew!!!!! LOL

Good luck with them, Anita. Let us know how it turns out

Of course, I won't be sowing the entire packets! Some will wind up being future trades too.

mighty nice list, Anita. how much did you sow last year?

I sowed about 60 containers. Some contained more than one type of seed. I found that made things more difficult around germination time, so this year there will be one variety per container.

The WM I work at has put out their seed racks already so of course I had to make a purchase or two:LOL:

The following ones are Burpee and Burpee Select ($1.50 pks) and are also featured in the 2007 Burpee catalog at substantially higher prices.

Radish Watermelon (white on outside/red on inside) wm $1.50 Burpee $3.35
Basil Summerlong wm $1.50 Burpee $3.35
Tomato Red Lightning wm $1.50 Burpee $4.40
Sunflower Strawberry Blonde wm $1.50 Burpee $4.40
Marigold Snowball hyb wm $1.50 Burpee $4.95
Bell Pepper Crispy wm $1.50 Burpee $2.50
Sunflower Chianti wm $1.07 Burpee $3.35
Sunflower Citrus (in catalog as Tangina) wm $1.50 Burpee $3.35
Marigold Snowdrift wm $1.50 Burpee $3.35
Thunbergia Alata Mix wm $1.07 Burpee $3.35

I checked a few packs for seed counts and here is that info:
Sunflower Strawberry Blonde Catalog 25 WMpack 25
Sunflower Chianti Catalog 25 WMpack 19
Thunbergia Alata Mix Catalog 40 WMpack 18 (for the price of 3 (54 seeds) it would still be cheaper than from cat.
Marigold Snowdrift Catalog 50 WMpack 50

Now I've got to haunt Home Depot and Lowes and the fancy little upscale nursery for their seed racks---they all seem to buy from different suppliers which is great for me...more variety and all. I've got to stock up for trades and such and this will go such a long way and then I can, without too much guilt, buy some of my splurge seeds:LOL: These are just the varieties I purchased this time.

I bought from TinySeeds right before Christmas -- the order came in eggzactly as I ordered it. Not so easy when you order 1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1-1. It's easy to flub up and I bought 40 packs or so.

They were incredibly sorry they couldn't get my order out the next day...because of the Colorado blizzards (no mail). LOL!

Suzy

Thanks for the links...I just ordered 28 seed varieties for my butterfly garden from tinyseeds.com! My DH is just gonna shake his head.

JoAnn

I stopped in at Lowe's at lunch. They have their seeds out... but I didn't get any.

The last thing I needed was more seeds but I had to go buy some grub and these are the ones that grabbed me by my shirt sleeves as I went by. I love zinnas as cuts and wanted specific colors. The others just said"me,me...take ME home with you"

P

Nice stash, P.

I've notice zinnias are a little grabby LOL

Plants and seeds just have a way with jumping into ones shopping basket!

Even when one wasn't even planning a trip to a store that sold seeds - LOL.

xxx, Carrie

If I didn't know better, I'd think they put 'jumping beans' in each one!!

I think it's sublimal packaging. Sometimes you don't plant them but you still like to look at the package. I ordered some seeds from valueseeds and was very pleased with price and fast shipment.

The recent WalMart purchases are in addition to the ones I bought from Park Seed webpage sale(mostly veggies)and just sent in web order to Germania for another $70.00 worth of seed and almost $400.00 worth of plugs from Parks for spring delivery. I just HAD TO HAVE more varieties of oxalis. ........ and chances are I will buy more from local sources as season progresses. I have NO control.

I'm sewing seeds almost daily and haven't even made a dent in the supply already on hand.

Hub's said I started my little hobby nursery business just so I'd have an excuse to buy more. WELL! How dare he.....know me so well!...LOL

P

P, did you get your oxalis bulbs from Germania, or Parks? I love oxalis, too. I have lots of it in my flowerbed next to the front door.

I ordered them from Parks. I ordered:
"Charmed Velvet","Zinfandel" and "Molten Lava" More for pot culture than out doors.

I have Oxalis "Pink Princess" and o.tringularis atropurpurea that have done a lot better in pots than in the ground.

P

I don't know the Latin name for what I have. The one outside has pink flowers and chartruese (sp?) leaves. It likes it in my yard, and it has liked it in any yard I've ever lived in. I have some inside, too, but that in particular stays green 24X7.

I'll check to see what Parks has. Thanks.

got those too...they were here before me*G*

Here's my seed frig. The drawers are full too.

A you see I have a problem.

P

Oh my goodness P you do need help!! You should purge yourself of this addition by sending all your seeds to me for safe keeping.. LOL LOL I hope you will keep posting your pictures .as you go. It is really helpful to see what others do. Cindy

I've still have seeds coming from Germania and Park.I keep telling myself I won't buy any more. We'll see how long that last

I've got a bucket of 2005-06 seeds I'm going to post for sases if anyones interested. From my parent plants so I don't need any more.

P

Wow! You're gonna be busy :)

I've been sewing seeds since Dec.26 but if I don't quit buying seeds...I'll still be sewing Dec.2008
