Orlando Veg Seedling Giveaway

11 years ago

I like starting seeds.....I've got a decent lighting set-up and a small but devoted fan-base of Ya'll as veggie lovers....My Sister and Hubby want a variety of sweet frying pepper plants ......Em and Claude and Sherrie and Amel want those tasty 'maters and a few jalapenos and such....

Now Maxine set the bar this year.....she said "Show me the HEAT!".....so with those marching orders and Silvia's generous seed locker.....I give you the "2013 Downtown Orlando Pepper Giveaway"

HOT Pepper plants include:

Scotch Bonnet
Habernaro (seeds from a fresh pod)
Cayenne

(Amarillo,Portugal,Volcano,Cajamarca)....Gone

Also a few mixed Jalapenos available

And a few extra singles: sweet pepper or seasoning pepper orphans

Eggplant seedlings include: Orlando and Black Beauty....
(I'm trying to keep my mature Orlando eggplant for a second season)

Tomatoes ?.....Not many unclaimed extras this time around

They're all in clear 8/10 oz cups....easy to see the roots.....They are under the lights but itching to GO! You'll need to move them in/out as the weather permits .....hmmm what did Phil the groundhog say ?

I'll try to have some plastic cat litter jugs w/holes to carry your treasures home....makes moving 5 cups at a time easy......

Colonialtown North neighborhood.....32803....
Weekends...Nites...also sometimes Tues and Thurs

Send an E-mail to my name/profile for more info

Hi Doug and Pam

What a generous veggie seedling offer! I still have your purple jalapeno. Are you going to smoke some of the peppers? Don't forget that hopefully we will have a get together/party/swap around April. Aji amarillo chili powder is very difficult to find, I always have one in the house for cooking.
Seedlings look very healthy!

I have the red super king, the trinidad is what I am after. I don't have a rooted white COT, I am just sticking it in a pot now for you, so you could stick a red cutting in a pot for me. :) If the yellow one is solid yellow, I'll take that too, and I am bring you a yellow & pink one. I also went back to HD and picked up one of those crotons for you. :)

Ginny: I would love both your salman mussaenda and whitfieldia longifolia 'white candles'. My abutilon is orange and red - hope it is different from yours. Here is a list of thing I have already to go if you see a trade you like for the two: > orange clivia (plant) > Abutilon Marion Stewart (gorgeous and huge and covered with blooms) (plant) > Brug cutting Jean Pasco, Insignia Pink, Dr Seuss > Red firespike (plant) > Purple firespike (plant) > Sesbania punicea (scarlett wisteria) (plant) > Caeslipinia mexicana (plant) > Dwarf Pride of Barbados (plant) > Coral vine (plant) > orange plume (plant) > yellow plume (plant) > Pink plume (plant) > Rouge berry (plant) > Clerodendrum musical notes (plant) > Clerodendrum bridal veil (plant) > Misi Luke banana pup > Praying hands banana pup > Red and white bleeding heart vine (plant) > Purple and red bleeding heart vine (plant) > Purple bow tie vine (plant) > Chalice vine (plant) > Variagated pandorea vine (plant) > Datura seeds: La Fluer, Alba, Ballerina > Red Castor bean seeds > Variagated tapioca (a must have for the tropical garden!) (plant) > > I also have > > Tibouchina urvilleana (I think) - this is the one with the small dark leaves - blooming now so I can get seeds or a cutting > Tibouchina heteromalla (I think) - this is the one with thr big lighter fuzzy leaves - Silver leafed Princess Flower > Hibiscus hamabo - I got this plant at Leu Gardens (wonderful botanical garden here in Orlando) I cannot find much on the internet but it is yellow flowered and is NOT the Rose of Sharon Hamabo. Here is a link with a picture: http://www.strictlyhibiscus.com/Hibiscus_hamabo.php

vegetable seedling identification
Q

Well beets should be very easy to ID as they should have a very distinct leaves, something like they do when larger. Most spinach also have a crinkled leaf without the reddish veins. On many seed packets they have a small picture of what they look like as they first come up through the soil. http://courses.missouristate.edu/ClydetteAlsup/AGH_343/Vegetable_ID_Web/Seed_and_Seedling_ID.htm Paul

Hey John, Good to know !!!! I thought it was a winter hardy one.. along with Wonderful.. Well you saved me again!!! I will see if I can buy another Russian from our Local nursery( that is if they have any in the fall). I did go to the farmer's market to pick up a Persimmon for My friend.... who grow a lot of Indian vegetables and Are getting into growing fruits... I get a lot of Tips for indian veggies from them as they have farms in India. They are the ones who provide me the seed for my veggies :-) The farmer's Market guy has a pomegranate, but is not Russian. Not sure what cultivar it is. He does not know either.. I am guessing Wonderful as that is what seems popular.

Wow, I feel like I just won the lottery, thanks Doug! I am impressed with your garden, it's so well set up!

I really appreciate it and hopefully I will do you proud. I am sure my husband will freak out it I can actually get a tomato to grow this time, and I am going to look forward to those peppers!

Abnorm, I have some Dr. Bronner's I haven't been using. What is your mixture ratio?
abnorm

Nothing scientific for measuring the soap.....generally I squeeze a bit in a hand spray bottle and fill with water....shake and spray

Probably about a half-ounce per gallon if using the pump sprayer

You don't want a heavy soap application to remain in the bright sunshine.....a morning shower is necessary to avoid "sunburn"

The Peppermint smells so nice while you're killing the little buggars.........
