Hi. I have these seeds to trade: - Aunt Gertie's Gold (from Tomato Growers - 2008) - Earl's Faux (same) - Jaune Flammee (my own saved seeds; I grow this one every year) - Fox Cherry (from Baker Creek H - 2008) - Prudens Purple (from Graines Baumaux - 2008) I am looking for seeds of: - Purple Haze - Goose Creek - Ed's Millenium - Green Giant - Ramapo Thanks.

I dug up some carrots yesterday because the greens were turning black and rotting from the rain. They were big under the ground though. Big--like 7 inches. What's going to happen if all the greens rot. Will the carrots still grow underground? I would love it they could continue to grow bigger. My onions are huge and beautiful. Since they grew so big from all the rain, I'll prolly have them last until next summer. Last year they were so small, they hardly lasted through early winter. They were pitiful and small. All the brassica is producing except for one deformed cauliflour head. Not one single cabbage worm this year. I gave up on my tomatoes and low and behold I started getting red ones this week. Since I got blight, I am happy for atleast some. They are super late and its a race now with the rain and time. Will I be able to pick more soon or will the fungus take them over before I could eat them? It's like playing the lottery. Cukes are growing big from all the rain. It's time to do a test dig of the potatoes and see if they're still alright under all that dirt. I am hoping the rain has made them big as whoppers this year. Leeks are reacting to the excess rain like the onions. I was told they would only get pencil size but they are fat like my thumbs. String beans are out of control producing 3 lbs per week. So far the only diseases is the blight tomatoes. Even the Jap beetles went away prolly due to all the rain. Some zuchini is still coming in but production has slowed and the slugs are back so got to keep laying the Sluggo regularly. All in all, the excess rain is actually helping the yield this year, except for the toms. Plus I hardly need to water and that saves the pump from running hours per day. Do I want more rain? NO. Please make it stop. We have no summer and only used the pool once this year so far. How much worse can it get?

Oh WOW thisismelissa ~ I went visiting both Heuchera/Heucherella & Hardy Gs sites & am drooling! I may have just sank in my last Hydrangea & will pursue these 2 charmers for foliage colors!!! CPG ~ I visited Marco's site that you posted ~ unfortunately I need Rossetta Stone ~ though I could figure out a very little bit considering garden talk in another linggo is like texting right!!! I'm waiting for his new long blooming Gs to get to our dealers!!! Congrats on your new acquisitions T-I-M!!!

Mine are all up and growing... and most have buds too. Some look kind of small (the buds) and from experience I know some of these may abort before blooming. But at least a couple have really big flower buds. Most of them are still in pots... I havn't gotten the area I want to plant them in ready yet. I have big plans. They might even have to stay in pots till next year. I want to work on fences this year, which will likely take up most of my garden funds. I don't expect any of them to bloom till mid May, but I hope I get surprised. Some of the singles are supposed to be "early", but I've never had them so I don't know what to expect yet. When they start blooming I will try to catch them with the camera. I'm quite excited about it... especially since most of my new roses are too small to really bloom this year, so these are going to be my "instant" gratification this year.
