Yes we can, cupcake--if you look at your user box over to the left side of your post, down at the bottom there is a blue "Edit" link. You will only see this on your own posts. Click on it and you can go back and add, subtract, rearrange etc. to your heart's content! There is a system limit on how many times each day you can edit, though, and I can't remember what it is.

(And most of us try to remember to remove the "This message was edited " bit that gets added at the bottom before too many of them start adding up... although you can see I'm already derelict!)

wineaux I am glad you will be coming!!

does anyone have a climbing rose I could have a cutting of?

I couldn't the "Ramada & Roads" Map we had last year; even left the DBG and tried PapagoPark.

Sharon, if you're trying to get the Papago Ramada map, you'll have to copy and paste the link into your browser. For some reason, that map address doesn't convert to a hyperlink. Didn't last year, either. Anyhoo, I wouldn't worry about it; once everyone gets to the park, there'll be a sign to the Ramada.

I'm inn!

Botanical names to follow
HAVE
*Batface Cuphia Seedlings
*Seeds - Dill, Flat leaf parsley, holly hocks, yellow pear tomatoes, sweet grape tomatoes, giant zinnias, Mexican winter squash, Yardlong beans, Sunflowers; All seeds are from my own cultivation.

Sonoita, that sunflower is gorgeous!

May I put in a request for a batface cuphea seedling, please? Love those guys!

Can I put a request in for a batface seedling too please :o)

This message was edited Jul 17, 2008 7:13 AM

Saw bat face plants in 4" pots at Sunset nursery yesterday marie, very nice and healthy looking.

When I said I have MG seedlings of 'Grandpa Ott's' I wasn't kidding. If no one speaks up now, they'll be in the trash heap this weekend. It till easily overshadow my new vine I put there.

Oh, I may have mint and basil cuttings. Not sure yet. Just watching what's popping up where.

Speak now, or forever hold your peace. LOL

My mom and I will take a couple each. Dont throw them away we can find somewhere for them. Try listing them on Craigslist for buck or so.

Robin, I'll gladly take some off your hands!!! I've been packing and in and out of the thread so am not as active as as I want to be! I love seeds too if you are overburdened!

I'll need to dig them ALL up this weekend. Some are already sending tendrils up the trellis. There should be plenty for all. Got you on the list!

I never though about Craig's List. Hmmmm.... :-)

This message was edited Jul 18, 2008 2:05 PM

even if you just make a buck $1 that's better then in the trash. good way to use up those darn plastic pots. or am I the only one who cant throw them away?

LOL, cupcake. You sound like me. I won't throw out a plant until I know it's dead, dead, dead. I'll nurse it like crazy until I give up. I've got plenty of pots for my cuttings/seedlings. I should be fine.

azrobin, its so bad that I often want to take dying plants from people houses just to save them.... you?

Yep. Me too! LOL

I remember one year close to Christmas I found 12 limpy Christmas Cactus all marked to 1 penny. I couldn't resist. I bought them all. 2 died and the others recovered so well I gave them as gifts. :-)
