I have lots of mixed zinnias (from my garden 2012), some cherry tomatoes from trade, purple coneflowers (commercial), a few amaranthus from trade, and lots of mixed bachelor buttons from my garden 2012. I'd be interested in any edibles except for radishes which I can't seem to grow in my hard red clay soil. Let me know at mamahack@hotmail.com if interested. thanks much

I have some Speedy Bush Beans left over from a packet I bought this year, and I would love to trade for some morning glories. Email me if you are interested!

I am interested in your baby beefsteak, sweet cherry 100 and your goat horn hot and orange thai. Would you like some melon seeds for them? I have piel de sapo, tiger melon, yellow honeydew and cantaloupe. If not, would you be willing to trade these to me through a SASBE? Thank you and please let me know. :)

Hi, I live in Tahlequah, so I think that justifies my posting on Ozark Gardening. Ha. I am 72 and concerned how I will care for my garden when I can't, but maybe it will never come to that. We have a half acre. I have a sign out front that says, "Garden of Weedin'" and that it is. I have taken care of the back due to more shade and put hydrangeas in where we get some sun. Little weeding there anymore except for seedlings. In front I have a large garden of herbs, flowers, etc. The weeds drive me crazy. I have a friend who is 82 now and is putting in bushes like hydrangeas and azaleas. I can't do that in front where the afternoon sun blasts. I am trying creeping thyme in areas, but most of what I bought this summer died. I started to use creeping jenny, but it wanted to take over so I put it on the side of the house. Sometimes I wonder if natural is better? Ha. And then this year the electric company came to cut some trees, and I allowed them to cut down a group of 3 trees that were under the transmitter. How stupid of me. Now the corner of our lot is ugly, but I will get some vines up. A friend has a silver lace vine. Beautiful. But I already have a wild grape vine that came with the house. While it has been cut down it will grow again. Just that it wants to take over and silver lace vines are so beautiful. Can they co-exist? But the electric company gave me the mulch, and we spent 3 days putting it out. My garden now is mulched to high heaven. Like another person here I have a lot of irises. We have a lot next door where we plant our veggie garden, and so I put extra plants there as well as seeds. Don't know what it will produce since it is kept mowed but perhaps around the edges where the wild things grow I will one day get zinnia, cleomes, etc. So far I see golden rod.
