CLOSED CLOSED
I have several of these popping up. I started to pull them up, but thought I'd see if anyone wants them for postage first??

CLOSED: Maximillian Sunflower seedlings for postage
I would be interested in some of these. I had them several years ago and enjoyed them.
i would as daughter loves sunflowers
And I will be more than happy to share! I'll go see how big they are now and try to figure the best way to mail these. As they are live plants, it might be best to go Priority. Though First Class seems to take about the same amount of time these days! What do you guys think?
I think if you can pop them up with a little dirt on the roots and roll them in paper towels (damp on the roots), then newspaper, they should travel fine. That is how I usually mail small plants. Priority would probably be best and I doubt they'd be over a pound.
Would you rather have a trade or postage?
I'm swamped with coop plants right now, so postage would be really best for me.
LOL Overdid it with little plants did ya? I've been very well behaved (due to finances) and only have ordered from one.
Just thought I'd offer. ;)
I would love to have some of these! How beautiful! I will send you d-mail.
Hello sproutlinda! Welcome to DG! I see you are pretty new. :) You also do not live very far from me. Check out the Ohio forum. We are having a big get together (known as a Roundup here on DG) June 7th.
Yes, I WAY overdid it! LOL. It's a sickness I tell you! Have no idea where I'm going to put everything, but you know ho the coops are. The prices are so cheap you just gotta get some!
LOL I guess that was the only good thing about suddenly being "financially challenged". I managed to plant every single plant in the fall since I could not buy more. I actually pulled all the weeds too. Eeeewww!
You need to come visit me badseed! LOL I have so much to do, I'm starting to wonder if I'll EVER get it all done!
I'm going to go out and see just how many seedlings there are. I put out 1 plant 2 years ago. The 1st summer it had 1 long branch/stem (whatevewr you call it) and blooms all up and down it. Last summer, I had 3 volunteers and several stalks coming from the 1 plant. THIS year, there are probably 20 seedlings I have to get rid of, plus a bunch coming up from the main plant. It should be pretty when it blooms.
By the way, these things get tall and top heavy when they bloom. I found out last year, if you cut the top of the stalk off in June, down to about half the height, it makes it bushier and sturdier. And not nearly as tall and top heavy. Works much better!
With dmail, I have 5 people wanting starts, so I'd better close this so you can all get several
cool. just let me know how much you think and thats fine with me. will get ti out next week
Looks like I can do 3-4 plants for each of the 5 people. I'll plan on sending them Priority which is 4.60. You can send me a check/MO or Paypal cat64129@yahoo.com
Postage goes up a week from Monday, not sure what Priority will be yet if we wait until then, but I know it will be a little higher.

Hi Cathy,
I just sent you $5.50 through Paypal. They always take a chunk of change. ;)

Bring them with you! We can find them some work to do too! LOL
