Does anyone NOT want Castor beans?? They are the red leaf with pink seed pods? I love these things as background. They are so tropical looking but I read that they are "weeds" in some places.

Hi, I mailed mine Friday morning. Also got a package of seeds yesterday from Ara. Thanks a bunch Ara. Am planning on enjoying them... MargeC

I got mine off Saturday at the P.O. Hopefully some of you will receive on Tuesday!

My seeds are already to be mailed Tuesday. I hope you all enjoy them. Thank you so much Erica for putting this together. Thank you all for joining.

Anna,

Anna, I love your little bug. Where did you get it?

Erica, I sure don't mind recycled bubble envelopes, I use them myself over and over until they are beyond further use. Sometimes I use homemade envelopes and wrap the seed packs in pieces of bubble wrap that I've salvaged. I tend do this when I am sending only one or two seed packs. I don't think it should matter as long as the seeds are protected from being crushed.

Thank you Ara, the link was sent to me by a good friend I made on GW. I was feeling down and her emails always cheered me up. It came from Smiley Central. I am passing it on to you.

Anna

Here is a link that might be useful: Smiley Central

Araillia
irislover_nc
sguanzon
MargeC

wow you guys are sure on the ball.. i loved looking all them up.. plus out of all the envelopes everything was different.. my daughter and i are going to have fun winter sowing this year.. it's are first time trying it..

oh my....my envelopes went out this afternoon! sorry it took me so long but at the last minute I found a template for my own seed packets...lol...and just had to use them...
So far I have received from Marge, Sue, Ara, and Meredith! Love everything! and since here in Texas it just doesnt get REALLY cold...alot of it I can plant NOW...and see it cause it wont get cold until november at least...woohooo!

Hi everyone, I'm packing seeds today and should be mailing tomorrow. I have recieved from the same four listed above Ara, Marge,Meredith and Sue. Looks like we are swapping a lot of columbine but that is fine with me as I love them and they do not last long here in MD. I also recieved several other favorites too. My seeds (columbine) are ones I collected in Kodiak as they do so well there. Most of the other stuff is from here in MD.
Thanks for hosting Erica this was a fun idea. BB

I also received mine from Ara, Meredith and Marge. I really am enjoying this one. Hope everyone can use what I sent.

I got my envelope from Marge today. Thank you Marge I can't wait to see them all in full bloom. Three envelopes have been delivered to me so far and I've received several of the seeds I had listed on my wants list. This is great! I can't wait to go to the post office tomorrow to pick up another treat.

Ara

I have a question about 2 of the sets of seeds I received. One is an Acacia tree? Do I plant that in a bucket then transplant it? The other is a Lucium? Can I plant it the same way? And does columbine need full sun, part shade of full shade? Cause I only have full sun in very few parts of my yard and I have never grown Columbine....as a matter of fact I am VERY new to flower gardening...lol...so I will probly have LOTS of questions...lol

Kelly

ok i got my packet from Anna today...wooohooo.....and let me tell ya ...woohooo this is fun....ok i have looked up yarrow....cosmos....mountain garland....and crimson clover....love em love em love em....lol...and the notes on them say that they bloom ALL YEAR LONG! even better!

gardeningkelly--i have purple Columbine in the sun but it gets some shade from some taller plants..i hope that helps ya

i got an env. from Anna too today.. I loves the seeds and so far i have gotten alot that was on my want list..smiles- i just revised it now i have to look for more..lol

my name is erica an i am a seedaholic...lol eheheheeee-hicup---smiles

oh hell I have seeds everywhere now...lol...have a box of trading seeds....a box of stuff i cant use now but can later....bubble wrap that i found today....neighbors seeds all his flowers so he is putting into baggies for me...lol...and labeling...so i have something to give back....

Can we do a veggie seed swap next? I just put in my veggie garden todya....first garden I have done totally from seed...lol....hubby thinks I have lost my mind....well we could do that..but i have very little left...lol...all i have is turnips and collards and onion sets and some lettuce i think....i planted everythign else...

Kelly, the columbine will surely need som shade in Texas as it prefers cooler weather. You may need to grow it as a fall to spring thing and replace it frequently. Thry lots of compost and keep it moist. Also, Columbine seems to germinate better when it is cooler.
My seeds have been mailed. Sorry to be the cows tail....but somebody needs to be and I don't get that job very often. LOL

i wanted to thank everyone for joining me in this robin it is my 2nd time hosting..my 1st one was not returned in a kids robin.so i'm pretty bummmed...

i'm so glad we are having a good time, i was worried it was me as a host..

any hoo,i am so pleased with all the seeds i have received, this is my first time winter sowing so i am gonna have fun...lol
my hubby is making me a space in the basement for all my growing needs...lol those were his words i swear...

So are we going to do this again? :)

Kelly

Kelly

I got my last one today> Having 100% follow through is super. Good work Erica. Thanks for hosting. You did a fine job
Now Kelly is hosting one for veggie seeds, Right??? ;q)

hello, everyone... i got an env. from beth today.. i love looking them up.. some i have never heard of and fell in love right away..lol a new addiction... i'm have so much fun maybe we can do it again.. as for veggies, i don't have a garden.-- let alone room for one but you never know...lol

erica

I will but i will have to find some more seeds first...lol....maybe in two weeks or so? Who wants to be a part of a veggie seed swap...anyone?

kelly

erica....grow them in a pot...lol...till up part of your backyard...lol....i made hubby take the boats to storage...lmao...we pay $40 a month storage so i can have my garden where the boats used to be..lmao...
This picture is my hubby tilling up my garden....he was not happy with me...lol..and you can see he is in his bare feet...but man oh man he sure does love the fresh veggies afterward...lol...

received env. gardeningkelly from today..what color is the morning glorys? i just love morning glorys..lol
100% turn around!!!!!!!!!!!! wow guys i had loads of fun looking up all the pictures.. can't wait to join all of you in the future robins..erica

i wish my hubby would stick around for a picture..but every time i mention planting flowers, he disapears..lol

lol...the morning glories are blue i believe! That is the only color I have had....

Kelly

Wow, Kelly, that is some nice soft looking dirt. Erica, you can stick a few veggies in a pot and they even look good. My first year in AK i grew Swiss Chard, the "rainbow" type in a tub by the front door. It looked and grew very good. Some of the mesclun blends for lettuce are pretty in pots too.
Thanks everyone for the seeds and Erica for hosting. It was fun. I'll be traveling most of this next month so No swaps for me for a while. I'll look to see what's happeninng when I get settled again.
BB

OH the dirt is wonderful...We have been here 17 years...and have never had a garden here...this is the space our boats used to be stored...we had to build a fence to hide them (per city code) or put them in storage...so we put them in storage ...lol...cause fence was just too expensive at that point....anyway...someone obviously had a garden here before cuase the ground is just WONDERFUL!.....oh and when I went to water this mornign? I have seedlings coming up everywhere! My fall garden is coming up!...wooohooo!!

Hi, I got my seeds from Beth yesterday. Was very pleased.
Am going to really enjoy winter sowing all of my new seeds this winter. I believe this is my last envy. Have really enjoyed this swap. Thanks to all of you great Diva's. Marge

Did everyone get my seeds? I got seeds from Erica yesterday...wooohooooo!

Kelly

I got all mine and have already starting some planting! Its finally getting under 100 degrees (some days - LOL!)
