CLOSED: Who's my Canlidate? Help

I'm looking for 1 or 2 people.
I have some seeds I have gathered and would like to grow them (experiment). Unfortunately I have entirely too many things I have to still germinate. Can someone start some seeds and just let me know if they turn out what I want them to be?

1. Bidens Aristosa
2. Several different Tagetes Species
3. Few other Beautiful Annual seeds...

Anybody Somebody Pleeeaaassseeeeee... Who owes me a favor?? LOL LOL!

I'd love to give it a try Kim! Just let me know. thanks, Linda

I'll help you out Kim, as long as you don't get mad if I kill them. I have a digital camera and can post you pics of results too. Let me know.

Not closing thread due to updates

P.S. If they're really pretty..then I'll be begging later!!! ha ha ha ha

Now Kim, don't set me up with poison ivy, I've already got it one time this year. LOL

ha ha ha I've never seen poison ivy so I think your safe!

If you want them Kim I'll mail them back - no problem. I cannot wait - this is to much fun. Mitch

Noooooo maybe just a few seeds and pictures...he he he
Some are rare..I just hate to start more stuff now. I'm really kidding myself with this bag of annuals. Last year I literally started at least one type of seed everyday during the summer. Some things were very small seedlings and I'm surprised to see them coming back with a vengeance!! LOL Like...Mimulus Ringens, Achillea sibirica var. camtschatica, Phygelius x Rectus...

I have the Moonraker Phygelius...and some say I'm zone 6. But I monitor my own weather! LMBO!!! Those Phygelius act like they were never covered by 2 feet of snow...he he he

Thanks Kim! Sounds like fun! I have a digital camera also so I can post pictures of the progress. I hope they grow OK for us. Off to do some germinating research!

Oh Kim, what a fun thing for you to share! If you ever need another volunteer, I'd be happy to help. :)

If you want to try raise your seeds in really fun sun, count on me.

Antonio, would you be interested in growing some American Wildflowers? I absolutely LOVE Wildflowers. Last year I started soooo many. It was a lot of work but exciting. Because I was trying to pot up every one that germinated...LOL There was one plant which was goregeous and I waited with Bated Breath! I could see the flowers coming and the foliage was great! The rabits had a field day on my plants. I got up the next morning and soooo many were gone. After that a swore I didn't like Bunnies anymore...LOL LOL! I have lots of Wildflower seeds that I would love to see what they are. The rabbits, beavers, and groundhogs are my biggests problems. They eat every darn thing..LMK what you think?

Send them down!

LOL LOL! Ok

I wish all of you good luck on the seeds.

Kim
I would love to be a part of this also,,, if you need more help.

Hey Kim! The seeds arrived yesterday. Let the games begin! Sooo much fun. Thanks for letting me do this! Linda

Great! Are yall gonna compare notes??? LOL I split the seeds between you four.

Hi Kim, got the seeds today out of the mailbox. I'll be starting them this weekend. :)

Nothing here yet :-(

Mail must be faster to MO...he he he

No fair - now they have a head start, I want a do-over!

LOL LOL...maybe tomorrow? They were all mailed the same time. Figured Linda would get hers first.. We're in the same State :-D

Hey Kim - on a diffrent note all 40 some burg seeds are growing after doing what you told me, Thanks Mitch

Great!! Will you post pictures when they get bigger?

I will once they get to where they look a little bigger . . .

okay how do you do brug seeds? i got a few i want to get going but all i know is to soak and peel and try not to rip seeds.

This is what she emailed over to me - I used this and a thread that said to place in a very sunny window covered with plastic to keep the moist in and the dry air out.


....I soak mine for 24 hours. Then remove the barky substance from the seed. It'll look like a datura seed. Then I keep warm and moist. Be paitent and they will germinate. Hope this helps
Kim
