I'm snorting embarrassed to say that I think I've asked LeBug for something 4 times now. Oink oink.... Just got my HPS catalog and am drooling......
CLOSED: Fall Frenzy Piggy Swap #5
Speaking of the HPS catalog.....found a digitalis called "Elsie Kelsey" which I wanted to buy for my neice - she was named Kelsie after my grandmother Elsie. Well, I knew I've seen that digitalis before with a different name. Here is the HPS one http://www.hpsseed.com/dp.asp?P=%7B016B5C62%2DF1B8%2D44B7%2DBD3E%2D06CAD42FDBF0%7D and here is the one I found on DG http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/54595/ Do seed sources put their own names on plants?
critterologist, I have you down for Sea Pinks. That was a cool caterpiller gardengus. toofewanimals, I love your planter am sending photo of my piggies.
Maxine: May I have some purple poppy, blanket flower, hibcus med. pink, and english iris. Oink! That is if my piggy friends haven't beat me to it.
I use index cards too. It really helps me to keep track of who gets what, and how many I have left. I should start writing down seed collecting/storing/sowing tips on them too.
Still haven't figured out how to line out, so I'll still go in daily and edit (except for yesterday, 'cause I forgot).
WIB,

This is what happens when you get lost on the way to the trough! LOL!
Starlight, Critter & Terese, Thanks on the Gomphrena.
Maxine, If any left, may I please have your:
helenium helena red shades
rudbeckia cappuccino
rudbeckia cherry brandy ?
helenium autumnal orange bi/color [
rudbeckia goldilocks
I also left you a Dmail.

FYI - I added a few commercial packs and some trades. The commercial packs are all 2008, not sure about the trades.

Singingwolf... gotta LOVE those Pot Bellies. cute as buttons!!
I just updated my list . I was out gathering seeds today, and found a ton of seeds on this plant that I have had for 5 years. I forgot its name - can anyone identify it and I will add it to my Have list ?. Thanks.
Maybe a Hypericum-St. Johns Wort (bright yellow flowers)?
Yes, that is it! I remember now. Thank you so much. Bright yellow flowers and it has really grown. I have the seeds drying, are they something that would be worthwhile adding to my list? I also have this flower that I transplanted last summer never knew it's name either.
Thanks
Got a funny little story. I have the DR table covered with little baggies and drying seeds. DH came home and almost had heart failure wondering just what I was growing out there. No, I am not supplementing our income! Just a SEED Addiction.

thank you!
LOL, Lynn! My parents came over for dinner tonight. My mom looked at one of my kitchen countertops that was covered in seed stalks, seed pods and plates of seeds and said "most people wouldn't want to eat what you've cooked in this kitchen because they'd think you'd put all those mysterious plant parts in it." We both agreed that it looked like I was a witch ready to make some brew! :)
(btw, I don't use that particular countertop when preparing food!)
LOL, Danita , I can just picture it.
Oh gosh, I use the countertops for both. I do clean them well - I thought.. Is that bad? I wouldn't want to feed any of us a poisonous seed.
I had to clean up my seedroom/greenroom/gardenshed....ahemm diningroom:-) because we are having company over for Thanksgiving. Some pretty linens and some mood lighting and no one will ever know :-) I could have watered that carpet and it would be really pretty in there by now. ;)
mygypsyrose, I'm a procrastinator - I still have a few days before I have to clean it (or Hide it). LOL, your floral carpet would be pretty. I have hardwood floors, but I was worried about what was going to germinate on me or in my pockets.
Oh yes, I do use those countertops for food but not when there is seed collecting going on and only after cleaning of course. Truth be told, I end up with little piles of seed all over the house and in my coat and pants pockets. I always have to check before doing laundry. Oh, not to mention the little paper seed envelopes in my car full of seeds I've snatched while out and about!
I discovered seeds in the outer pocket of my purse last weekend... remembered snatching them from in front of a restaurant a while back... Gaillardia, the ordinary yellow/red ones. :-)
Oh yea, the purse. I forgot the purse, they are in there too!
I would have waited but I have to clean the laundryroom...oops... Guest room :-P
I've not been online today and it looks like I'm behind again. I'm also still collecting, bagging, and cleaning.
Welcome newcomers! In case you've not found it there is a thread especially for listing your haves, wishes, requests and tagged seeds. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/923393/
I'm betting I've missed out but just in case - Maxine do you have any rudbeckia cappuccino left?
LOL! I love to see that Im not so strange! My DH is always after me for cleaning seeds and rooting cuttings in the kitchen. Also, I think I get more excited when I find seed tucked in my pockets than money.
Ive added a few odds and ends and I have updated my list.

I am going to update my list now and put the things I want on there, but my wants are:

Lala Jane, yes I do and will put you down for one of the rudbeckia cappuccino.
Now out of the rudbeckia cappuccino.
Maxine
Fairy, you are in luck.
I have one left of the rudbeckia cherry brandy and it has your name on it.
Rudbeckia cherry brandy is all gone. Sorry
Maxine
Where do I post when I am out of the seeds listed?
Thanks,
Maxine
Time to move along little ones : )
The trough is being filled here now:

Lynn-if you get any more of the Hot Lips Salvia, I would love it;)
Maxine,
You can update your list by putting: "gone" in front of the name of the seeds.
Luckily no one was home yesterday for my kitchen experience. I had dahlia tubers to divide, and the light in our garage is currently blocked by a hanging kayak (argh), and it was like 20 degrees out, SO... never done this before, but how messy could it be right? I'd rinsed them off when I dug them... Well, turns out there was dirt stuck up in all sorts of places on those tubers, and wrestling with them with a kitchen knife knocked it all out!
Needless to say, my kitchen got an unscheduled mopping and thorough scouring after I was done with those :) There are more waiting to be dug, but I'm thinking that shopping for new tubers in the spring does sound better and better...
Happens here all the time! DH is getting used to having soil in his food!
May I send extra seeds for the people who lost all their flowers in what ever mother nature threw at them?
I lost a lost of my flowers when a tornado hit us in 96. It takes a while to establish plants again and now I think or at least my DH thinks so, I should back off and enjoy what I have. I have an acre of flowers plus a very large veggie garden. He is saying you are an OLD lady!
Maxine
Oh, they don't know that part of enjoying it, is still planting it. :-)
I believe that star is taking loose packets that will be distributed amounst the victims if you put a note in with them. That's what alot of people are doing
Danita, may I please try your Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna'? Also, I have a few 'Hot Portugal' pepper seeds (one of my favorites, and quite mild) and can put in a pack for you if you want to try them.
They have moved over to Page 6 http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/925613/#new
Wow! page 6 already!
