Tell me about it River, I'm freezing!!lol
CLOSED: Happy Holiday Seed Swap Season #2
I couldn't resist one more looking through these-how about TWO friends in the pond. There used to pretty fish, but raccoons got them-the pond is not very deep : (
Kath I loved all the pics. But you can keep the SNOW,
Robbi, I wasn't feeling that old at all, but now I am having trouble with a pulled muscle in my neck and I am feeling pretty darn old right now :( I haven't a clue how I pulled it either, but it makes sleeping very difficult or moving. Hurts to swallow even tho I don't have a sore throat. Same kind of pain as when my lower back goes out, not fun at all...
Oh yeah Robbi, I dmailed you a list of the ones I want from one of your other posts in the forum lol.... So what ever you want to send me will be great :o) If you want I can pay to send your BE back to you to help cover the cost of sending me the seeds.... let me know...
Okay I received 2 envies will mark received in the top post....
Robin, my grandaughter got a kick out of the Belly Button Duster :o) Had never heard of those before this one, very cute...
I am going to go lay back down, took a motrin to see if it will help my neck any.... You all have a great night.
Connie
So sorry Pepsi!! Do you have any peppermint oil? If so you should try rubbing some on your neck-it will take the ache out of it. (And you will smaell like christmas candy-LOL)
I did see your D-mail-I have gotten so many of late that I haven't been able to get back to everyone yet. Will go have a look at it again tonight when I get back from work. Have a good night everyone and flowerhead-I envy your view!! It is beautiful-I even love the snow!
Robbi
Robbi no I don't have any peppermint oil, but will have to remember that, I have never heard of using it before. I am learning all kinds of things here on Daves :o) I will have to check into what all the different oils can do... Thanks
Hey distant I looked over your have list and here are some interest for you to choose from if you haven't packed them up. Sorry-I think I convoluted your posting about that with my snow pics. But it was exciting to wake up ! Most of all I wish for the green envy I missed in the unusual seed swap!! ; 0 ) but.......here are some ideas........................................................
'Mahogany Midget' Dwarf Red Plains Coreopsis, Clitoria ternatea butterfly pea, dwarf morning glory 'ensign pink' or any of your cool mg's, Datura tatula var. inermis, Purple Bouquet dianthus, clasping coneflower, seaside daisy, 'drama queen' opium poppy, rudbeckia prairie sun' or rudbeckia triloba. So that's a lot of ideas!!! lol But do with them what you will!
flower what cameraare you using ?the detail really has great clarity.
It's actually an older Olympus I dont remember any more about it. When we bought it it was a very nice camera, but now there are much nicer ones for much less $$$. It is not consistent in it's elder years!
thanks
Flower-I have 3 Green Envy seeds left (they were at the bottom of the envy-do you want to give them a try? I can sure add them to the big envy-D-mail me and let me know-I always check my D-mail but the threads I don't always get around to until later because I am on so many of them-LOL
Pepsi-I think your bad Ju Ju rubbed off on me-last night while typing a response about Peppermint on this thread I went into a sneezing fit (I usually only sneeze twice in a row and them I am done)-about 20 times and in the middle of it something in my chest gave out! The pain!! So now I am sneezing a lot and clenching my chest in agony everytime I do! Anyone have any tips on how not to sneeze?? I could sure use it. It is pretty sad because I am sure people think I am an odd duck-I make some really frightening sounds now when I sneeze and sometimes bad words fly out in the midst of them-LOL I am just avoiding public places as much as possible-LOL My kids think it is hilarious!
~Robbi
Robbi I am laughing out loud for real. Ok I give what is envy, is it something I need to have.
LOL-I would laugh too but it hurts-so I now have to laugh in little tiny half chuckles!!
Green envy is my baby-new this year-hard to find in this town.

she was very cute!! But went away for the winter-these seeds are asked for as much as my Razzmatazz seeds.
Someone is going to get a little extra Christmas gift. I just finished cleaning the newest member to my Echinacea family. It was so new I didn't think the seeds would fatten up before a freeze but they did-so I am adding one packet of 20 seeds of

These seeds do not come true if they are open pollinated...I purchased this one from a nursery that had many of the same plant around it so there is a better chance that the seeds would come true than if they were in my yard surrounded by many different kinds. Not sure what will happen-but I like the suprize when they do bud :o)
So as I said-it is up to Pepsi who she wants to share these with:o)
I would be very nice to her if I wanted them :o)
LOL
Wow since these are gone do you have others I can trade you for. I have tons of different seeds.but no list I have wonderful selection of rare Morning glory and Jap morning glory to trade. Do all these new ones come true from seed. I have a few seeds off harvest moon and just wonder. I have a lot of th new ones but don't have seeds yet but have ordered several different seeds so dmail me.

No hybrid comes true-even your morning glory-unless it was pollinated by one of its own....so if you open pollinate like I do-whatever happens, happens. When I get hybrid seeds-I hope they are true but some will not be-depending on how the gardener kept their flowers. For example-if in your yard you put two MG's that have are of the same species but different cultivers, lets just say Milky Way and Star of Yelta, close to each other (this could mean just on the same half of the yard-"close" to a bee can be pretty far apart) you will not get many seeds that are Star of Yelta or Milky way....they will be new ones that are a mix of the two.
So what works best is if you put 2 morning glories of different species near each other, then this won't happen. But if your neighbor was MG's-you have to worry about it all over again.
The ONLY way to avoid this is by stem cutting or self pollination which for me is to time consuming and so far I have not done very well at rooting anything-LOL
Thanks for the laugh, Robbi. And I am soooo sorry you are in pain. Everytime my dad sneezes, he goes....aaawwws^@t
Does anyone have gourd seeds. In need here!!
Pupil-I do and I will add them-is there a specific kind?
