Comments (169)Super helpful! Thank you....See MoreWhat's been added to your 'favorites' list this year?
Comments (63)I LIKE that Torenia! Must have LOL! Well this years new faves are: Opium Poppy (Peony types and regular single) Cosmic Orange Cosmo. I'm completely learning to love orange! Bells of Ireland....next time I won't dump them out too soon! They popped up thru the 4' Marigold that over-crowded them...but I DID see the potential for next year!! Morning Glory 'Star of Yelta'...bloomed early and still sporadically blooming :D Heliopsis...just the plain common yellow species. I am SERIOUSLY considering replacing all the Maximillian Sunflower with these...at least the ones in flower beds! Cactus Zinnia...nice big flowers. Wasn't thrilled when the puny plant (one surviving out of 4 germinated) first bloomed. It was small and not attractive so I cut it back into the foliage and it came back big and beautiful! Parks Cutting Blend Zinnia....didn't grow as tall as the package described, but definatley will try again. Minnesota Midget Melon...not very productive, but they sure are juicy and taste great! My goal is to provide a better area for them next year. Giant Red Indian Mustard...completely new to me for any mustard green. We love it! Got more growing now. Jericho Lettuce...got more growing now too! Was still very tasty in July heat! Collard Greens 'Georgia'...more of this growing too! Never had them before, so can't compare with other varieties. All I know is they are yummy yummy :D African Daisy 'Jaffa Ice'....the orange ones. Wasn't too impressed with the one flowering ones. The orange was have been blooming like no tomorrow since the start, but the white, though pretty, were basically just taking up space and blooming every once in awhile. I think that's it :D Vera...See MoreWhat is your favorite place to buy seeds?
Comments (12)Hi Heather here's my 2 cents... Q: if I can get some heirloom tomato seeds, then grow heirloom tomatoes, can I dry out & re-use the seeds from these tomatoes? A: Yes. That's how you do it. Very simple. Q: do you trade here on the Florida board, or do you use a general Garden Web trading board? A: I've done both. Trades as well as gifts from generous GW'ers from several areas (Florida forum, Seed Exchange and Tomato Exchange/Tomato Forum). A couple times a year the Seed Exchange has a "newbie" offer that give free seeds to newbies from other GW'ers. Another way to get started is to buy one kind of seed that is uncommon and desirable so you have something to offer and ask for trades. You'll get lots of different stuff to grow or trade for more stuff. It's a little addictive and fun to get stuff in the mail. (I've had to explain to my mailman what's in my mail). I don't see anything on your "want" list. Surely you want some seeds.......See MoreYour favorite seed and plant sources
Comments (27)Ooooh, I love this post. I recently moved to Colorado (Littleton) in late August from my home state of Michigan and was wondering where all the good nurseries were! There a few small ones by me. As for seeds, I like to order from Jung's, Baker Seeds, and Burpee (their catalogs, like most seed catalogs, have much more variety than what is sold in stores). I will also order from an odd catalog or two I get, but the ones I named are where I order the most. For live plants, I like High Country Gardens and David Austin. Four years ago I ordered one of Jung's perennial gardens for sun. They came in 3 inch pots and I wasn't sure they would make it through the Michigan winter. Three summers in, I had the most lush, beautiful perennial garden I could hope for. I will definitely take the gamble on Jung's perennial garden again once I find a permanent home in CO. At least I am in same zone here as I was in MI so hopefully I will have the same success!...See Morechrizty
