CLOSED: Free Seed for Newbies!! Come on in!! New Thread 06/13/09
Hi everyone. What ya all doing? I am keeping a list of all that donate. That was such a good idea . Who had it?
I was kind of waiting until we get to the next thread this one gets busy and I hate new threads...I dont want anyone unable to get on the thread. But...I am open for suggestion I can add it in now...
Hi Arejay
Sounds like great ideas from everyone. I like the "couples" idea. Always nice to have a companion. :) Maybe we could do Wed. for singles night and Sat. for couples? To get the couple you have to unscramble both. Makes it a little harder.
Maybe do the couple once a month. Invite everyone not just newbies. We'd probably get more donations that way. Perhaps some of our vendors would like to get involved.
Maybe some of our experts could write an article that would give us 'clueless' newbies tips on Botanical latin. Always fun to learn new things. :) We'd be the most educated gardeners on the web.
Just a thought. Back to the sun. :) Sherri
Wed for singles and Sat for couples. LOL what a group! Or maybe ladies night for a plant with a female cultivar name.
I think arejay did invite everyone. I know I picked up on it on the trading thread. I bet others will donate. It's a busy time in the garden now, but we can give a push on the thread she put on the trading forum every once in awhile.
Obviously we're having much fun over here. We'll get others to join us.

Tell us your anagram solving secrets! :)
ants
I would, but if i tell ya, then I'll have to kill ya!
actually, there is a term for it, but i cant think of it.. when your eye picks out and unscrambles a particular word... in this case, as soon as I saw the scrambler, my mind immediately unscrambled the word....LOL. I dunno how it worked, it just did. unfortunately that only works for familiar words... it doesnt help you if you have never been introduced to a word or words... and Im unfamiliar with most plant names... so I got lucky in this case, as I was already familiar with with the terms.
It is a very pretty plant :) Glad you got it :)
ants
I dont even know what I am supposed to answer!! You guys are a hoot!! ( age Showing there Mama, Mittsy)
Hmm a clue let me see!!
Did anyone find the clues?
Not me... I am clueless :)
ants
There are clues....here is another...two words.
Did everyone see my Iris?
Beautiful Iris arejay!
ants
i got clue two and clue 3 but not clue one. how can i guess without understanding clue one? am i supposed to be talking.....shhhhhhhhhhh..."in code"?
I have no clue... I looked at shh... But it means nothing to me. My mind is a jumble.
ants
I have no clue either :(
I'm going to bed now . . .
is it breaking the rules if i give a clue? if it is a rule i for sure want to break it. just lmk.
ants don't let my nonsense confuse you. i left no clue in what i said either time. but i want to leave one. but first i want to know if it is a rule so that i can get top glee out of breaking it when i do. hahaha
Good night locakelly. Don't worry mamajack, I was confused long before I read that :)
ants
Good Morning! I don't think it matters, I gave the wonderful clue about weeding dandelions and no one got it! The birds outside my window are sure up early today!
Good Morning,Mama you can give a clue. Did I tell you all that the first word has nine letters?
Robin , please check post #6730999 and dmail me if I need to make corrections. I'm off to work in the weed patch.
Hi Mittsy
