Susan

Hey Susan! Yup, thats my combo allright. Happened by accident. The morning glories actually grew up the Kiss me over the garden gate stalks. It looked really cool!
My hubby captured this cool pic of MG growing on a gate that I hung license plates on. The look turned out just how I had hoped.
Thanks for the compliment Susan...

Awesome.. Love it. I'm doing that next year.. So I guess you alreay have those seeds huh!! :) The best things that happen in gardens are accidents :)

Susan

I have lots of cool morning glory seeds. There are so many. My hubby loves the chocolate MG. Its so silky looking.
Here's another of our pretties. I dont know what its called, but sure has pretty coloring.

Caren

I'm in... Do you want an e-mail re: seeds to see if they are unusual enough fer yer tastes???

no need to Sequee. Part of the fun is to see what people in different parts of the country think are unusual :)
Glad to see you join in the fun.

Sounds like a great fun thing. I'm in.

This sounds fun...I've not participated in trading or any kind of swap for a LONG time!

Count me in~

Sandy

This sounds like fun and I said I wasn't going to get in any seed swaps this year lol I still have so many I want to try from my stash from last year but this one really sounds interesting! You are bad for tempting me Theresa! lol
Lea

LeBug, I hope you include bronze fennel. That is just too pretty. Would love some envy zinnia too.
glad your participating...I think it will be fun, and Im not bad for tempting you...hehehe....addiction needs company.

'My eyes are always bigger than my stomach' so to speak when it comes to seeds and trading lol I've gotten a lot of nice plants from DG'ers though and have really enjoyed them! I think one of my most favorite parts is watching them come up from a tiny little seed! It's just amazing!

I'll put a little 'treat bag' in there for you Theresa :)
Lea

My seeds will be coming to you soon. I can't wait to see what others send and what we get in return! love, julie

I know what you mean Julie. I m gonna look up all the seeds I receive to see what they look like!

My package was sent out today. I would think you'll have it by the end of the week. Thanks!

Sandy

Edited to say I think I might have forgotten to put in a mailing addy made out to me. Pls let me know once the pkg arrives. I sent 10 packs plus 10 packs of bonus seeds you can distribute however you wish

Robbi

Just to confirm. You are looking for odd seeds and not odd traders! ;-}

LOL potemup...that is too funny. yes, looking for odd seeds, but they can be from odd traders.....LOL...so does that mean your in? hehehe

Yes, on both counts! Trust me, IT'S IN THE MAIL! I really wanna win the garden gnome!

Did I hear Gnome????? NO WAY-I collect them to the disgust of my family-LOL. It was a habit I picked up in the UK-annnyyywayyyy so glad odd traders are welcome or I'd have to bow out :o) whhheeewww weight lifted off my mind.

OK-so I can only send in 10 packets-right? Will start digging-Robbi
Thanks for letting me join even though I am the oddest seed in the pack :o)

Unusual flower seeds . . Okay, count me in. Not sure how "unusual' mine will be :-)
