Hi Gretchen,

What type of milkweed is it? I just purchased 200 spearmint seeds on Ebay and I know I won't plant them all. Thanks, Jeannie :)

I know mine is not the tropical one, if that helps. I did get some tropical seeds from someone and I am going to pot them to keep them separate.

Jeannies_garden can I send you a SASE for a few spearmint seeds? What area do you live?

Hi Gretchen,

I'm south of Houston (close to the Bay Area). I have not received the spearmint seeds as of yet, just purchased them. What are the blooms like on your milkweed plant you took the seeds from?

I just checked and it has

Estimated delivery Fri, Feb 10.

The blooms on the milkweed were yellow and orange. I was told there is two different kinds of milkweed and mine is not the tropical kind.

Hi Gretchen,

I received the seeds and they are soooooo tiny.

I believe your milkweed may be Asclepias tuberose.

I'd be happy to trade....It's been like forever since I traded on Gardenweb, so how do we go about trading? How many seeds do I send to make the trade? Thanks, Jeannie:)

Make a small envelope out of discarded junkail. One Forever stamps is all you need. I don't count the seeds that is to time consuming and difficult if seeds are small. I usually just dump a little bit in an envelope. I also have seen little zip loc bags that buttons come with when you buy clothing or ziploc pill bags.

I know how to send the seeds/plants...As I use to trade all the time, years back, I was wondering about getting address and so forth. I don't wish to give that out to the public. Can you give me your email address?

I purchased some mint plants from home depot yesterday. One was labeled spearmint, and I also got chocolate mint (which is the one I really wanted). I was planning on planting some of the spearmint seeds and leave the rest in the small packet it came in (plus the protecting cover it was put in), I just needed to know about how many seeds to send to make swap fair.

Thanks, Jeannie :)

The spearmint seeds about as tiny as columbine seeds.

If it is warm on the weekend I am going to fertilize my irises with the liquid Miracle Grow that attaches to my hose. I received in my iris newsletter time to fertilize so the blooms will be big.
