I LOVE YOU,SEED, unconditionally!

I absolutely LOVE seeds and all the fun that goes with! (the work, too). I feel every time
I start a plant from seed, I've somehow thwarted the local big box store's goal to
separate me from my dollars. I've acquired a dandy plant, veggie, or flower for nearly
free! And, my spouse somehow thinks I've saved us a lot of money.
I have a few seeds to trade, and would love to share. What have you got?

These can be had from me:
Forget-me-not,heirloom variety-Fermament, (lots)
Marigold, dark harvest colors (lots)
Marigold, golden orange (both doubles) (lots)
Zinnias, salmon single (many to come)
Zinnias, pale yellow, doubles (many to come)
Zinnia, dark pink singles (few)
Coneflower, sunset (few)
Coneflower, twilite (few)
Scabiosa, tall mixed colors,(black, white,
lavendar, pink) (lots)
Velvet Queen sunflower(warm colors) lots
Gomphrena, purple, red. (few)
Joystick, lavendar, white, pink (few)
Snap Dragon, tall mixed colors(magenta,yellow,white,
pink )(few)

(and more to come as I identify them)

I am new to this, so-- bear with me. I just LOVE seeds!

I love them too. I always feel like I've really done something when my flowers come up fromn seeds I've planted instead of buying the plants. I'm kind of new to it too.

I'd love to trade, but all I have right now is marigolds (about a million and 4 oclocks. I have these plants that is really pretty, but I don't know the name and haven't taken a picture . It grows on a pretty tall9jk18 to 20 inches and the flowers l;ook like red velvet, but they are cone shapes. Sometimes 2 or 3 cones will be right together, sometimes not. All I know is it just takes a few and you'll have lots more. I have to do a lot of thinning. I have a lot of them

I'll try to send a picture and I have some seeds if you want them. But if you have a place you want some red , this is it.

i see you are both in texas and so am i--i would like to trade with both of you --maybe we could come up with some kind of plan---i will have to see what i can come up with but keep me in mind !

Fantastic! I think we are on our way to more flowers/plants! I will get back with ya'll Monday, post a pic or two of those I need help with identifying, and
we can work out trade details.

sounds like fun to me!!

Has anyone used D-Mail on this site before? I can offer my mailing address
for requests for seeds. I believe if you click on the members name, it takes
you to a page that you can send a personal msg, (or D-mail).
I also have some Esperanza seed to offer, an airy shrub that likes full
sun to light shade, sports bright yellow blooms, can be pruned into a smallish
shrub 2-3 ft, or more leggy if let to grow naturally to 5 ft or so. Very easy
to start from seed. I have lots of marigolds, love them, but am looking
for a bright yellow type. My seeds for this one seem past thier 'expiration'.
I am also interested in the red flower, I don't have much red in my garden
and would like to try something new! I would even be interested in surprise!
seed, if you could just offer general care and space requirements, I think it
would be fun to watch what comes up!

I hope you both got the D-mail I sent today. Seems until I am a paying
member, there is a limit to the number of D-mails per day. No worries! I'm
patient.
There seems to be a lot of seed trading on this site- a lot of everything
to read and learn about. I have learned much just in the 2 weeks I've been
browsing, which, when factoring in the time I spend in my gardens, isn't
a whole lot! (chuckles.)
