Seed addict...add to the list

misty, just the fact that you are reading this thread is a sure sign LOL

LOL on watering the carpet (and I'm sure there is plenty of dirt under there to sustain life!)

pod, me too, on not deadheading so I get more seeds. oh, it's baaad!

Scarey what lives under the carpet ~ isn't it?

Who was looking for their seeds earlier ~ PrimroseSue? Maybe you should look under the carpet? LOL

Maybe she should look under my carpet. or in my seed box? bwaa ha ha!

LOL :)

I have helped my veteranarian deadhead his columbine. I also helped McDonalds, right at the drivethru deadhead some of their plants. I helped my local Dairy Queen deadhead their daylilies.
Im so civic minded! :)

You go girl! LOL :)

attagirl! what would they do without you? wait til they get your bill LOL

Didn't you read where she said she is civic minded? She does this out of loving-kindness!

Of course she does. what on earth is wrong with me?

Here is my problem - I have sooo many seeds (yes I must be an addict) but then I feel guilty because I know the seeds have limited viability - so how am I to germinate all those seeds and plant them all (and still collect even more seeds?)

I think I need help . . . .

Seandor, you seem perfectly normal to me. Doesnt EVERYONE have too many seeds but still need more?

Thanks for your support, Theresa. :-)

(hands behind back) Oh well! I might just admit that I am a seed addict! I should have known this when I can't use any spices that are not grind up!
When guests help clean up after dinner and head for the 2nd fridge to store leftovers....I'd be screaming.."No! That's for seeds only!!"
I carry some ziplock bags in my purse, just in case...
Theresa, you're a Shining Star for the seeds!

You know what's neat? It's a contagious disease. I was out with DH one day and he spotted a pretty plant at a restaurant. HE said to look for some seeds AND wanted to know if I had a baggie with me. Ain't it grand?

I, Jan, um, let's just say I have yet to get to that stage with my DH, AND the restaurants we go to, if any, have rubber plants. xxx, Carrie

Had lunch at Chili's today and asked for a box to take home the remainder of my salad. The nice waitress brought a styro box, inside was a plastic bag and a 2 oz. container with a snap on lid, more than likely for extra salad dressing. DH asked what the little container was for and I told him it was an E.S.R. "What?" he asked. I said, "It's an Emergency Seed Receptacle." He's learned so well, he immediately knew what I meant!
There weren't any seed pods in the parking lot to test it out though...

Cathy!! That's a hoot!!

Cathy, I love it!!

Carrie, this plant was outside. And it was already picked clean LOL

Oh I love this thread. I resemble all the remarks. I have tipped over 7 plates of seed stacked on top of each other temporarily while we use that big table to eat on it. I have seed I collected I washed or couldn't remember where I got them or what they are. I love to go through my box and slide my hands over the seed pkgs. I moon over the pretty pictures. Am I an addict, naw just an appreciator of this art. Yeah Got any seeds you don't want? I have a small amount of room left in one of my boxes. LOL

River, if you stack the packs kind of 'top to bottom' you can probably fit in a few more LOL

Riverland ~ will have "more" seeds coming your way shortly ~ LOL

I admit, I REALLY like the pretty pictures, but they have to have real seeds inside. No fake cutsey seed-package-esque tray or hotplate will do -- maybe why that's why I haven't gotten into collecting my own seeds YET! xx, Carrie

I'm a seed addict. Two years ago when I stopped at my bank's ATM machine, I noticed a purple coneflower seed head leaning towards me. I did my banking and pinched the seed head off of the coneflower. I winter sowed it and this year I was rewarded with flowers. I really didn't rob the bank. lol.

DEMinPA

We was at the Hospital today, and DH grabbed me as we was walking past some flowers and plants in the hallway! I laughed and said but I had already smacked my hand! Then I looked again and said, well, I have most of them already! LOL

frunny, you guys! banks and hospitals...what's next?? prisons? just don't try the White House. they have the Secret Service all over the place LOL

Grampapa, don't doubt some of the resourcefulness of these addicts just for those "unattainable" seeds!!

Oh but it would have been so much fun had I been able to sneak out of there with something, even if I had it already! LOL

Well' I thought I was cured' of my addiction, but today I saw some little black salvia seeds just staring at me, and well' I couldnt let them fall, I just had to save them, 'poor things!

LOL

sowmo, I thought everyone understood...there is no 'cure'. you did the right thing ;0)

Oh, I understand the feeling. my big problem is very generous DG members send me HUGE packets of seeds - when I need maybe 20 tops. So then I take the 20 I need, and then I feel a desperate need to find homes for the seeds - 'cause I know they have a limited shelf life lol

:)

"God grant us the wisdom to save the seeds we know are viable, to dicard the seeds we suspect are pretty much dead, and the wisdom to know the difference."

(I have a whole pintful of old seed I just mixed together - what I'm going to do with it I don't know. Just toss 'em out in the pasture? No no.....

birdseed? craft projects??lol

I hadn't thought of crafts. Now, let's see - take an old picture frame and cover it with white glue.... ha ha

there you go...

Seed addiction? I am not addicted!

(The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem, right?)

Suzy, Stop lying to yourself. I can smell the seeds on you. You've had so many seeds that your sweating seed stench through your pores. You all know what we would find if we came to your house right now. It's time to come forward.....and hand the seeds over I NEED SOME TOO. (On hands and knees) PLEASE share what you have, Suzy, PLEASE!!

you know, Suzy. I believe you. if you were a true addict and got your hands on all those swap seeds, you'd NEVER be able to let them go LOL we'd find you sitting like Ebenezer Scrooge trying to stack the little packs to the ceiling and chuckling to yourself while the piles fell on your head.

Speaking of which, gram, YOUR can is so full I cannot add one more pack without bumping you up to the next size can. As I recall, you didn't actually want any seeds, you were just going to donate and take "one or two". ROTF!
