If not, no worries... I can always pick up a commercial pack... do you think they'll stay short if grown from seed?
CLOSED: Fall Frenzy Piggy Swap #6
It will?? Ooh, LeBug... do you have a few more 'Dawn Pink' seeds? I got a tuber last year but killed it early on. Hopefully I'll be able to keep a closer eye on my garden this year!
LeBug...
May I try your Canna Dawn Pink please?
Thanks:-)
Oh Lala - thanks for the dawn pink info - Yea! Now we're all slopping in LeBug's trough. Hee hee.
Fairy, I'd love your Jap MG mix. Thanks!!
Oh Bestest Fairy, Do you have any of the silver wave petunias left? BTW, looking at my yard, people would have to guess that petunias are one of my favorite plants. I started some from commercial seed last year, didn't plant them out until late June - was afraid to put my "babies" out in the big world, and they grew better than any of the petunias I purchased from starts - big or small. That set the hook for starting my own this year. I am so happy that I won't have to get a bigger mortgage to pay for my addiction. My gardens will definitely be more interesting now.
Thanks
Lea, I've added the larkspurs to your baggie.
Fairy, you feel free to toss anything in my little baggie that you think would be good for that big wildflower field :-) Actually all that you listed sounds really good! I'll take a look at the dianthus varieties and let you know which ones- I was distracted while looking at your list, thanks for reminding me!
Fairy Tagged your pink milkweed
Fairy, yep, I'll take the dianthus too!
OK Neal-there are more that I have listed in my trade list-I will just sned ya some of what I have-how bout that;)
Lynn-I will try to send you a few seeds at least:) They are from a commercial pack I got at Lowe's I think
Gardengus - can I try your pink milkweed? With 3 little girls....pink is the favorite color around here. :-)
Danita, Thanks so much! I'm a smiling happy piggy!
fairy - the silver petunia is soooo temping .... I loved how it looked in all the Store hanging baskets last year. I have enough petunia seed for now, but oh, how nice it looked!
toofew
LeBug- No on more castor beans
Fairy- yes for the delphimiums
I'm interested in any of the shorter dianthus, the ones with foliage almost like short grass, often blue-green or silvery. It seems to be a very tough plant once established, grows well from seed, and makes a great edger or "filler" plant.
I think most of the ones I'm thinking of are probably "cheddar pinks," Dianthus gratianopolitanus.
Critter, I gotcha :)
La, I was just going thru lists lol I'll take them off thanks :) I always thought those canna seeds wouldn't come true, that is soo cool! Thanks for that info. La!
Chele, my list is meant for piggies like you LOL
I have one more Dawn Pink canna left :)
critter-several of the ones I grew from seed this year had that foliage-have to go outside and look first to see which ones-and not a one is a normal cheddar pink....
That sounds great Fairy. I luvs me some dianthus, lol.
Critter and Neal, you may want to peek at my Dianthus also.

Toofew, I think I remember asking for the 'Microchip Mix' if it's still available... my bad, I think I probably posted and didn't Dmail you. Please?
JIll... i bought Microchip [Burpee] 2 yrs ago... i have some seeds from my plants if you want them.
Terese, I've got some Microchip in my front bed (and I love them) that I actually started at the townhouse and brought with me when we moved. I have tried to start seeds from them without success, and I wondered if perhaps they were sterile... Have you been able to start seeds from yours?
Cheles - garden, Maybe on the pink milkweed I need to look and see if I can find more. I should have saved more there were a ton of seeds that I just let blow away . Didn't know I would be in such a swap. I did write you down and will let you know as soon as possible.
Cinda
That's ok Cinda.....I have plenty of milkweed - just haven't ever had pink. It's not a big deal, I have been a piggie in this swap. Oink!
Jill -- no, i havent tried... this was the first year i saved seeds.
guess it's something i need to experiment with.
What a busy day you've all had. I don't know about warming trays, or winter sowing, but I suspect that's because of where I live. That rope light trick sound like a great idea for starting plants early. I might try it myself, just to see if works. I've never had the leisure to grow just flowers for fun before. Although I usually don't kill what is given to me. Most of my experience has been with food plants, and trees. I am getting better about catching up with the thread. I am learning more every day. This has been fun!
Well, I'm off to update my list.
Catch up with you tomorrow, pant, pant, pant! : )
WIB,

Oh darn,..... I see where I missed out on all of Danita's salvias...... I will have to be more alert! :-) But then I have been a total piggy anyway.
My son killed his first deer today ( a 7 pt buck) and guess who got to help get him in the truck and skinned. THANK GOODNESS one of the guys that I work with was willing to show him how to skin it! So I was absent from the computer for a while....
I will have to make sure he knows what I "sacrificed" for his hunting endeavor ...LOL
Genna
Meant to add that I will have to add that peach salvia to my want list..... it is one of the prettiest salvias I have seen. Danita, does yours look that good in real life??
Thanks!!
Genna
gen2026, congratulations to your son, and big hand to you. I couldn't have done it. My ex and our 3 sons hunted every year. I wouldn't go out in the garage while they were hanging. I did help wrap, but that was it.
I like seed hunting better! :)
ME TOO!!!
Fairy, they're all yours. Chocolate aquilegia included. Must have overlooke it.
The monarda is more than welcome! Thanks!
I know there was some discussion about Lavender at the Cottage Garden site, sooo I listed my hardy, taller Lavender. Mine has not bloomed, just planted it last year.
Anyone for Lavender augustifolia 'Provence Blue'

Thank you Lala, Tuink and Gardengus!!
Gardengus-I only need enough seeds to get one plant, so I can share with cheles...
Fairy.
Ella-Can I please have some Diascia and Lady's Slippers??
Got ya down. : )
THANKS!!!!
So, if I understand correctly, Ella-you will give the extra seeds to those that need them like newbies and charities, so we need to send you an extra dollar or two to help out?? THat is great!!!
Also, can I use shortened versions of names, like critter, Gemini, Lynn, instead of the full names on some long ones?? On the baggies I mean...

Fairy.. That the extra seeds, after all the wishes and wants and stuff have been met from the group here. There always loads of extra seeds folks have, don't want to go to waste and can be used by somebody who can.
Those listed in the storm victim sections DO Not Send postage for their return box. Their seeds to them are all gifts from all of us.
Sue you can use shortened names, I do so myself, but if possible use their Dg name cuz we have a couple of folks here with the same first name. Like think it is the Sharons.
Got a major full blown head cold and fever still goign on here , so not thinkign to clearly yet. But do know we have some same first names.
I am not Sue, but thanks for answering my ??:) I will use shortened DG names, but I think if I put Ella on yours you will know:)
LOl.. Sorry about that Fairy, should have read Sure. Hahahah . On a day like today it debatable. : )
