You are stupid, why Summer? Ok this month it can be you. Pass the torch, next month(in a few days).
I would like to join in. I'm new at this too. I'll get mine in the mail thurs or mon. depending on when I get to town. I have Old fashion Holly Hock seeds, lots, sweet basil, new mexico sunflower, black eyed susan's, and I'll have to see what else is seeded. Will these be all right? Susan
All great choices Susan... jump on in...
and anyone else that is lurking... come-on.. this IS a
more-the-merrier.

diana
I am mailing my seeds out this morning. Thanks. Sandy
I love these seed trades. This way we get some seeds we haven't tried before and get some seeds we really want. I think I like the surprise the best of all.
He Fran,
Off Topic
Duh, I just realized where I knew your name from. I so enjoyed the secret trade we did.
I am having fun.
Aline
Thats why I decided to do this one... had a great summer with the trades. Just didn't want it to end.
Fran
I just read thru this thread & it sounds like fun. Wish I had time to join in. Too late this time but I'll be watching in the future. I'm a newbie so I didn't realize you did this kind of trading. I'll get busy saving seeds for the next time. Hope there will be another one soon. Let me know if one is planned.
Pam
I got my seeds in the mail this morning, set a wide selection of what was ready in my yard. I sent cone flowers, orange and yellow, mums that are orange and come back every year, golden rod, holly hocks old fashion, different colors, mallow or french holly hock, black eyed susan's and wild flower mix, and some vegetable seeds. I think thats all. Hope I sent enough this is the first time I've done one of these. Thanks Susan
I sent mines out today too.. I sent some ornamental grasses and flower seeds.. Have to say, this first trimester thing is kick my tush here.. Did not think it would be this bad.. **sigh**
Icosden
I remember those days all too well.
I am not together enough to do this trade. I wanted to but I am too disorganized and on a schedule that has me unraveled a bit. next time.
woops, I thought today was the 5th not yesterday, so I have faultered... seeds all going out today.
Fran
Once again, I forgot to post that all the seeds went out the other day... well except the 2 that I am still waiting on, but I didn't think everyone should wait for those... and you two, don't worry all will be well!
Let me know when they arrive and I will close out this thread.
Thank you all for participating.
Fran
Fran, I was wondering if you got mine?? Just curious.. I'm missing packages from two robins and a care package from my mom. So I'm just wondering if the stuff going out is still okay..
Lindy
Hi, Just want to let everyone know that I received my seeds today. Thanks so much!!!!
~~Sandy~~
got my seeds today. thanks everybody and thanks Fran for hosting
diana
Glad to hear it... and it was my pleasure.
Got my nice surprise today! Thanks Fran.
I got my seeds today, I have to figure out where I'm going to put them all. I'm really excited I've never had these plants before. Thanks Susan
Susan,
Thats the fun part about secret seed or even plant trading. You don't get a choice so you live with what you get... 9 times out of ten I end up loving what I got and wonder why I didn't discover it on my own.
Fran
That is so true. I received some red penstemon seeds and had never heard of them. I looked them up and found that they are just beautiful and would go well in my perennial bed and now I cant wait to see them come up. I also got a gorgeous type of Morning Glory seed that will compliment a bare fence area I have. I had never done a trade like this before and I'm really pleased with my selection and couldnt have done better if I had choosen for myself. Its funny how it worked out just right. Thanks:-))))
I got my seeds yesterday also! Thanks Fran for organizing this, I can't wait to see them come up
got my seeds yesterday and am very excited. can't wait to plant them
thanks everone
Jadajoy,
Those penstemon came from me, and I too was new to them 3 years ago. They are so odd... they have a nice dense ground mound... then when you least expect it, you will see these little spots of color in the air... The stem they flower on is very fine and when they bloom the stem is almost invisable... leaving the air of flowers blooming from nowhere. And the color of them just glows.
I only have them because they came in a garden pre-plan.. I never would have purchased them on my own, thinking they might be weedy looking... now you couldn't get me to design a garden without them!
Fran,
How wonderful you make them sound...now I really cant wait for them to take off. The pictures of them are a knockout and I like that they are airy and glowy!
Thanks for turning me on to this beauty. Since they are perennial can I plant them now for spring?
Joyce
Joyce, I wouldn't see why not... they are self sowing, I haven't had a problem with them taking over, but they have really thickened up. So I would say yes... and if they don't make it in the spring, yell at me and I will send you more.
Fran
Thanks Fran!
Thanks for the fun Fran.
I got my seeds Saterday and have been so busy canning and gardening and trades I have had much time to catch up with my emails. I have to look some of these seeds up. the penstemon you were talking about sounds nice I have three kinds of pestemon. My favorite is the Violet Dusk or Small's penstemon as it is a rebloomer when deadheaded.In fact I have some blooming right now. I have prarie Dusk and Huskers red but have not been able to get them to rebloom.
