GYPSIES REMEMBER BASIL...Part 5

or just save all your unwanted and frustrateds and send them to me LOL

I looked at 2 comprehensive lists of basil cultivars and there wasn't anything similar to that name.

However, I came across something really cool. Do you have these over there?

Aloe polyphylla, spiral aloe

Trina, I just knew you would be popping in sooner or later!!!

There are a few so far that are not even close to our Zones.

of course! Spiral aloe...that sounds neat.....I like water spider orchids they're neat looking!

Moon, btw, can you give me an idea of how many seeds are in your packages? I don't want to open them yet.

like what tell me tell me! I'm such a pest

what did you get, what did you get, tell me. tell. PLEASE????? LOL

A good way to find out what the plant is, is to grow it, then show the plant here, when it gets big enough to ID.

Gee, Venice, I don't remember exactly how many, but would imagine for anything perennial, since your space is small, there would be maybe 5 to a dozen, and annuals maybe 20+ so you would have extra starts.....sorry I can't be more exact but I truly did not count, just sorta eyed out enough for a couple or three plantings.

Yes, your are a pest. And I was talking to Dave!!! You are getting just a little annoying. I will let you know when I have decided about the seeds I don't want. Just cooll it! Little girl, I WILL let you know!!! Promise! How can I ever forget about you!

So do you have names for all your plants now???

I will let Trina grow that one and then she can tell you what it looks like! That is one more that goes in your envelope!!!

Trina, I have 4 packets saved for you so far and I am only through the B's. Also, I haven't even added my seeds to the list! Don't worry you will get more than you even want!!!!

My dear little Trina, are you ok? I guess I was a bit harsh. Honestly, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Here is the fruit of Passiflora edulis f. Flavicarpa, Yellow Liliko'i.

I fell asleep...LOL I just wanted to know what you got...that dosen't mean I want it

what's it taste like Dave?

omigosh Venice you're cracking me up....how liong does it take to grow a juniper anyway?
soup's on! anybody up for tomato soup with a crusty wheat bread?

Dave, you really aren't going to eat that, are you? It looks pretty yucky!

Lynnie, I suppose it would take about 20 years to grow a juniper. Is that about right? lol

Tart and sweet! Very high in vitamin-C. Seeds will be ready soon.

sounds good Lynnie. we dip grilled cheese sammies in tomato soup over here. I made chili, but haven't eaten yet. Cincinnati style - elbow mac in the bottom, then chili, then grated cheddar. DH grew up on it that way, his mom spent her teens in Cinci.

Trina, before you print, check your printing prefs and put it on quick print, or quick draft, or whatever the option is. Uses less ink and you can't even tell.

better go check that chili!

Venice I thought you meant my soup *grin*

What does it taste like? Citrus?

Lynnie, no way. I would really like to eat some of your dinner! Don't tell JJ, but I just make regular chili without pasta.

actually that kind of fruit sounds good to me but then again I like mangos, starfruit, kiwi

Tastes like Passionfruit!

LOL Make'aka!

who knew I'd have to get so organized just to garden!!!!

yeah I love grilled cheese & tomato soup, I also like wild rice in my soup, thought I had some but I'm out :( so it's soup & garlic cheesebread. Got the crusty loaf at an artisan bakery while shoe shopping....coffee for a buck there and it was really good! Beats st*rbucks any day! ;) also scored a chocolate tart which I may eat first if my husband doesn't get home soon....my car stalled out on the highway, barely managed to pull over & my sister freaked out so I sprung for the tarts.

I have 2 sprouts coming up on some of them that I started, maybe I'll get some fruit this year...doubtful but maybe

I can't imagine starting a juniper from seed....I truly don't have that kind of patience...

I like to make grilled cheese with turkey bacon in it after it is fried. Then dip that in spaghetti sauce! Oh my! Wonderful!

Trina, not only so organized but so much work and a lot of time!!!!

I saw a show about chili in Cincinnati...I guess I'm too much of a purist to put pasta in the chili...or too Italian? I don't like meat sauce, either, I like CHILI with meat, but spaghetti sauce WITHOUT meat because I want the sauce & the meat to speak for themselves...yeah I'm way too picky lol

Trina can handle it, she's much more patient than me I bet....
Venice throw an egg over easy on that sandwich & I'm in *grin*

Lynnie, that's how I like mine! Just a little meat in chili and no meat in spaghetti!!!

Cajun connection checking in....we eat our chili over rice Smiley. Yeah, you are way too picky Lynnie....grin, just being agreeable (lol)

Sorry but I don't like cheese with my egg unless it is in an omlet.

I have to go run some errands.

Be back later!

Doesn't anyone eat Chili over Rice?

We do Dave...it is the Cajun thing to do....grin
