In a couple of months cedar cones will be ripe enough to cut them off the trees that bear them and if you want me I could send some seeds to you.
Let me know.
Gus.
i didn't know until today that you can buy seeds for certain house plants.
i just placed an order from greendealer exotic seeds: [HYPERLINK@www.greendealer-exotic-seeds.com]
I'll be getting 50 seeds for 'pure white spider plant' --i google searched and found the picture i attached in the grouping picture i put up
10 seeds for asparagus fern
24 seeds for 'sensitive plant' aka 'Mimosa pudica' --this one will be fun, i remember a friend showing me one as a little girl, when you touch the leaves they fold up for a while and then go back
and 10 seeds for ming fern
i'm attaching pictures of what i believe they will turn out as, the seed site didn't have very good pics, and some seeds didn't offer pics at all (white spider)
anyway, i'll be happy to share some seeds with anyone sending a SASE for trade of other seeds or houseplant cuttings. i'll probably only keep 10 spiderplant seeds, 3 or 4 of each fern, 8 seeds sensitive plant
my seeds should be arriving in a week to 10 days.
if no one takes me up on it i'l be planting them all, then posting the rootings in the spring.
I need some help, please. Because I haven't gardened in several years, I went crazy buying seed this year. How do you all organize all the packets from so many different vendors? How do you store the ones that were left over when I germinated in the early fall? I am looking for a way to get them organized in some fashion and start keeping good records. Plus I hate to ever let a seed go unused when people would like to have them. ORGANIZATION AND RECORDS IS THE MOST HELP I NEED. Thanks
Sjonesartist: those are great looking house plants....I am going to that website myself...thanks

I use a notebook to track my trades. I make notes: when I mailed the seeds, address, trade received, postage etc. I use a plastic set of drawers for storing my seeds. You can choose whatever combination of size drawers that you need, & some are designed for adding another drawer on the top. The drawers are marked - my own garden seeds, seeds from trades, store bought, baggies & supplies. I keep a copy of my master seed list too. That way I know what I still have left, what has already been sown, etc. Most seeds will last several years if stored in a dark, cool spot.
Everyone has their own method of organizing their seeds & trades - You will have to see what works best for you!
