Thanks violet, but I wonder how it could have been short already, was the envelope ripped, maybe the postman wanted to grow flowers?
CHRISTMAS ROUND ROBIN
Nope, wasn't short. Counted the packets 4 times to make sure.
When I hosted my last one I just had everyone write down the total # of packets they mailed out with so the next person would expect that same amount. Asked that it stay the same or increase but should never decrease....
Received package # 1 today. Will mail out tomorrow.
I took out:
pink poppies
larkspur mix
cimicifuga ramosa
viola
coreopsis tinctoria-dwarf red
pardacanda norissii-candylily
anemones
Put in:
aureum feverfew
heliopsis summer sun
dames rocket
blue fortune agastache
malva zebrina
ravenna grass
white butterfly bush
and a few surprises.
woohoo, getting close, better start going through my perennial seeds!!!
Got the seeds this afternoon! Will pass on to Pam this weekend more than likely.
Hi Kelly,
With violet getting the envelope just before you and having to add packages of seeds to bring it up to the number that it started with I guess there are not any extra seeds in it for you to take out for the youth project. When the envelope gets back to me instead of offering all the extras to newbies will send you some of them.
Does anyone in the round robin have a problem with this, as it is extra seeds that you have put in.
not at all. I can send some to Kelly. email me
I am so overwhelmed by your generosity ladies, thank you!!
Howdy, Kelly. How about some Coral Nymph Salvia for your youth project? They are native to Texas.
Oh, yea. I've got plenty Fruity Pebbles, too.
BTW Smockette, What is fruity pebbles?
I WAS WONDERING THE SAME THING, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THEM BEFORE. SMOCKETTE, YOU MIGHT END UP HAVEING TO SHARE WITH LOTS OF US.
Fruity pebbles is a Lantana spp. It has small purple flowers in bunches & multiples of bunches per plant. After the flowers die off, these bright purple balls appear. They are easy to grow & fun to watch.
Fruity pebbles sounds intriguing. Would you have enuf to share?

trailingon, I see you're in zone 3. do you have a greenhouse? worried I won't find stuff you can grow, but I will try my hardest.
Hi tig,
no i don't have a greenhouse, thats on my wish list. I have no children left at home so I turned a bedroom into a growing room. I made a 4 shelf stand with gro lights for starting plants. I have about 200 plants in 4" pots now and will soon be gearing up for spring. With all the volunteer planting I do for our community I need quite a few plants every spring. If they won't overwinter here, I try and start them early enough so that they bloom the first year and then treat them as an annual. I started a few brug seeds and can't believe how fast they are growing. Hope they bloom this summer for me. I love different plants that the people of this area don't have. That way when they drive by it is a treat for them. Don't worry about what you trade for, I did this to share, It's good to know that some of the participants are getting seeds for plants that they wanted. To me that is what Dave's is about, helping and sharing with fellow gardeners. Sorry for rambling, take care.
you didn't ramble, I just want to send something really good, and something that you can grow:)
