Cottage Garden Seed Swap & Chat #45

Here is Michaela's list

http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=7372526

Michaela,

I'd love some Dianthus deltoides 'Arctic Fire'

Terese

Thanks, Terese. Michaela, I didn't see any of your wishes. How about describing some characteristics of the kind of plants you might be interested in and/or their purpose to give us an idea? Ella has my seeds by now, but I have a copy of the list I sent her, so maybe I might have something you'd like - same for the other piggies, I imagine.

bluespiral - I still have seeds left from last year . . . I would be VERY piggy if I asked for more!

I am happy to share with others. Oh - I forgot to add to my list - I have little baby gladiola corms - lovely dark orangy-salmon coloured - just in case anyone has an extra row in the veggie garden. If you plant these for one more year (and then dig them up) you will have lots of lovely glads the following year. . .

Seandor: I've sent d-mail oinking for the following:

Both Agastaches
Bellis perennis
Brugmansia Equador Pink
Both Lobelias (or all, don't remember if it's more than 2)

Wheee! I thought I was fat enough until you posted your list. Thank you.

Hello everyone :) I've been busy packing up seeds. I'll be sending them out on Thursday (soonest I can get to the P.O.).

I got caught up on some things, but every time I get caught up, I run out of time to post, so didn't catch up so much this time.

I have had fun in the piggy swap & hope to have a better selection to offer for the swap next year :)

ants

Just able to get on puter again with rain stopping and a little power.

Mygypsyrose. Yes, if ya cna , please. I followed my cord from old one to put in ne w one and the ne w one has a square plu gin and mine is round, if think your adapter wil work for that.

Haven't foudn any plac e els e yet to plug it in to unless i cna plug it in where i upload the camera.

I afraid of tryign to plug, and blowing evrything, til I get jerald over her e to help me. He know s where things cna get plugge din.


Seandor. heck we all have seed left from last year, btu that don't mean ya cna't oink for more. LOL That what beign a piggy all about heheheheh. : )

Michaela, I'd love to have some of your 'Blue Barlow' Columbine seeds.

Alright Ella... gotcha an adapter coming in my box :-)

Sending my box out later today... oink now or forever hold that snout! lol

Seandor-
Can I get some of your Bellis perennis 'Tasso Strawberries and Cream' and Campanula glomerata

Just pic me out every other one or so.
they all look great to me. It might get my quota up, You think starlight?

You still a pretty skinny piggy Rides. LOL : ) Yep it might help. make ya more than a one pork chop piggy.

Seandor, please can I have a few of the gladiolus babies. the color sounds divine! (in addition to the piggy snort I made last night for the lobelias and pennisiteum. I'm at work today, so waahhhhh@!

Ok, I just found some Lions Ear seeds that didn't make it in the box somehow, so mark that off the list Ella. Unless someone really wants them, I won't send it to you. But if they do I'll send it straight to them.

Back to fudge making.

Seandor, if you're still taking requests, I'd love a pinch of Aquilegia vulgaris var. stellata 'Blue Barlow' if there's any left. Thanks!

Seandor- now I REALLY, REALLY am oinking for Bellis perennis (I posted earlier today). I just looked it up and figured out it has the same medicinal action as arnica montana which I have wanted for ages due to my multiple sprains per year (bad ligaments).

Pretty please if you have any left- put some in my trough!

Star- I was just over on the seed trading forum and noticed that our Piggy Swap #11 thread is still open over there. I think you are the only one that can close it, as you started it.

Patricia

hmm i am a fat fat fat piggy. blushing because went over board but love the stuff i got and aint even got it yet. so oink oink

Anyone have experience with Elder law- basically elder guardianship and medicaid coverage for assisted living/nursing homes?
I'm in quite a pickle today looking for a good atty in Michigan (which is 800 miles from where I currently live, but where my mother lives). :(

My box is in the hands of the P.O now :-) I sent it priority... it was only 9 cents more. But if I remember right, I think I sent it priority last year and it took 5 or 6 days to get to you. Hopefully it won't take it's merry ol' time in the spirit of Christmas lol.

herbspirit... I know nothing about Elder law. I know that there are a few here that have had to deal with these issues as well . Hopefully you'll get a response soon...

LOl. Ya sometiem s thes eboxe sget an ide a in their head of they want to go sight seeign befor e they arriv e wher e they suppose d too.

Sorry Herb, have no ide a what that is, but ya might google law service for the are a ya need. Hope ya get the help ya need.

Star.... i was thinking about your new keyboard.... does it have a colored roundish plug or small rectangular one?

I was futzin' with my PC today and disconnected everything... my keyboard is purple and roundish.

OH... i think i found that it is USB.

I bet your camera plugs into a USB port too.

any idea what your computer is?? brand and model number... we could look up the specs to see how many ports you have.

and i know Andrea popped an adapter on the mail.... i've just got the curiosity thing going on.

Mine has a roudn hole in the back wher e the keyboard plugs in. what i have is a hp pavilion x1963 that what the brain box says on the front.

it may be a XT963

that one i found....

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph06895&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=62764&lang=en#N1639

it lists 1 USB port ... that is probably where you hook up your camera.

I find i never had enough USB ports... the 2 on the front are stupid and you can't get anything seated easily...

I added a 'card' in the back that has 4 USB and 1 Firewire [somehow managed to break one of the USB] and i also have an external 'Belkin" 4 port that i use for DH's camera and flash drives... better than crawling on the floor to hook things up.

Sorry, Herbspirit, sounds like you've got something rough to deal with over the holidays... I would try posting in the NorthEast gardening forum and see if somebody can advise.

Robyn dmail me

Ella: Any results on the stone yet? Surely you aren't still suffering from it. BTW, please add my oinks to Seandor for his seeds:

Both Agastaches
Bellis perennis
Brugmansia Equador Pink
Both Lobelias (or all, don't remember if it's more than 2)

Piggy thanks!

I want to know how to make the fudge-Robynznest

What fudge? i love fudge.

ooohhh I heard fudge!

i tried to make fudge today and ruined it. easy recipe my friend said followed directions to a tee and guess what its runny and wont harden. i have never had any luck with fudge so if someone has a secret let me know. got so upset over it i started crying. dont understand what i did wrong.

Rie I'll send you the recipe I use if ya want....but fudge doesn't like to set period in high humidity

I don't have any fudge success stories here... however...

runny fudge = world's best hot fudge sauce!

Imzadi, all you need is some good vanilla ice cream. :-)

well i attempted to make "pinwheel cookies". what a nightmare.
Now i know why I dont work with sugar cookie dough.... I chilled, I floured the board.... I could not roll those things up to save my life... so i did the best i could, mashing it together, re-worked it into a "log" -- now they are in the frig... i will slice and bake... but they wont be used for Christmas.... recipe is in the trash already.

I got my spoon and heading to Imzadi's house!

When were were kids my mom would make fudge and sometimes it wouldn't get hard, we loved it! Everybody got a spoon and dug in! It was yummy!

It might take me awhile, I'm on the west coast......

Patti

Hey, why don't we all meet there with our favorite spoons?!? I'm on the east coast in SC.
Look out girl!

I think I made a fudge last year that involved "fluff". You know that marshmallow stuff. It was called Easy Fudge. And it was easy and it hardened up and cut up nice. I need to make all of my cookies and stuff now that the piggy swap is done. Apparently the guys at my DH's work are placing their orders... They were afraid that I wasn't making cookies this year, lol!

OK mygypsyrose, we want that easy receipe.

we call it fantasy fudge, uses marshamallow creme too and when it says rolling boil 5 minutes...it MEANS 5 minutes...not 4 minutes and 59 seconds or 5 minutes and 1 second
