Saw my first seed rack today....

16 years ago

Walked into one of the big box stores today and there it was! Talk about EXCITMENT! Yippee!

So what will you be hitting the racks for? If any of you are interested I have more mixed zinnias, french flame marigolds and tall orange cosmos than I will ever be able to plant. Just give me a shout. I'll be more than happy to send them. You all will never know how much you have helped me through my annual gardening withdraw/addiction.

    I don't "need" any seeds thanks to you and William. You made me go to Lowe's and ask for a deal on pallets of plants and William made me order seeds from Seeds and More. I don't know who is responsible for my Park's order. I'll probably find something I need between now and spring. Signet marigolds are tempting. I like the smell of their foliage.

    I have the rest of my orders ready to go on payday--LOL. after this year, I should never have another seed catalog.
    The only thing I couldnt find, and wanted to try, in the three I ordered from, is Jicima, Shumways handles it, and shipping is too high for one item.

    I don't "need" seeds either but there's a few that I want anyway. lol
    I grew a lot of mixed zinnias last year and didn't save any seeds. I'll have more volunteers than I want though. I'd still like to buy some single colors to mass.
    Pam - Are your zinnias, marigolds and cosmos all seeds that you saved from summer or did you go crazy buying them on Sunday?
    I bought a whole stack of seed packets when Dollar General had theirs on clearance at the end of summer. I can't remember how much they were - maybe less than a dime apiece. I couldn't pass it up.
    Helen - I'm looking forward to photos this summer from yours and Pams' pallets of plants.
    Ceresone - Postage makes a difference. Stokes is high too for a small order. I wanted some melon seeds that they had but they were 6.50 a packet and minimum postage was six something too so I decided I could go without them.

    I checked out Hummert's seeds earlier this week and bought Oregon Sugar Pod peas and Turnips (can't remember the name). I also bought Snowbird peas at Lowe's. They're both the edible pod type. I fix Chicken Fried Rice occasionally and I'm hoping they'll be good in that. My hubby complains if I put broccoli in it.
    I went to Wal-Mart Monday but forgot to check for seeds there and haven't been to Home Depot since before Christmas. There used to be a Fred's in Republic, MO but it either closed or moved.
