I'm not so sure the postage for trades won't be grounds too..~~~~~~~~~~$;>)#)

I have about 10 seeds left in my packet . Would that be enough to get you started?

Ashdown, AR(Zone 8a)

cyndie,
Sure would. Check my trade page and see if there's anything you'd be interested in trading for.

Hi Peggy,
I got out the packet and have 17 seeds left. Will send them out to you on Monday.

As for the trade, I looked at your list and can't decide. ;)
Send me something you think I would enjoy. OK?

Oh, but I did find a plant I do have, the Helleborine, so I won't need that one. Now I know what it is!
I have been watching them come up in one of my flowerbeds and couldn't decide if I should pull it or leave it. It is an unusual plant, I like the way the leaves look. I think I must have missed it blooming, or else it is too immature to bloom yet.
I live in the woods so I have several plants appearing each year as they reclaim their space. LOL
If there is anything else in the veggie world you are looking for, dmail me.I have a lot of seeds I could share.

Oh cyndie...don't do that to me....LOL.You looking for annuals or perennials? Sun or shade?
I'm not doing our big market gardens any more so all the veggies I grow for hub's and I are going in a kitchen door garden and in flower beds so it either has to be dwarf or short vines to grow on small trellises. I wouldn't be doing the mouse melon with all it's vines except two friends love them and aren't gardeners so I'm growing them for my friends.

Watch those helleborines. Info I googled says they can be invasive.

Central, ME(Zone 5a)

Thanks for the advice on the helleborines. They are growing on a hill that has very poor soil so I know they are tough plants.
I looked at your list again and would love any of your perennials. I have both sun and shade I am filling spaces in. I honestly don't think there is anything on your list I have. I have a "nursery bed" I put small plants I have started from seed in, and when they gain some size, I plant them elsewhere in the yard.
I could use some new plants and someone else's ideas, too, So that's why I am putting the decision on you. LOL. I love surprises.

Ashdown, AR(Zone 8a)

so how about I do this....I close my eyes,stick my hand in the perennial seed box and just grab one?

Central, ME(Zone 5a)

Great idea!!!! Do that!
That will save either of us from making a decision. LOL

Alrighty...d-mail me your snail mail addy
