Ashley, I am like ChreyIM, just email noticed me that Tamela updated her list or something. So, I came to see her trade list. Hi, Tamela_Star! Can you clarify this if you updated and are open to trade? I am a newbie, joined Houzz last December. I still couldn't find the pages I looked at and took me days and days to go back UNTIL I book-marked the pages. Most time, I just got lucky to find the pages for I didn't find them b.c I knew how. Yes, I agree with you that it is not easy to get used to this website. I call it Houzz, Maze! I don't know how it was back when you were active. I DO hope you come back.

Hello! I would love your Calendula Pacifuc Beauty, Chinese Houses, Coreopsis Sunray, MG Grandpa Otts and Marigold Jaguar. Please check my list for a possible trade. Michele

Hello BeesNeeds, I am a newbie - just joined the forum today. I am trying to research info to start my garden in Spring of 2014 and hoping this forum and others will provide me sufficient information to get started. I am very impressed with the list of seeds you have and the seeds/plants you are looking for. How big is your garden and how long have you been gardening. I would love to grow everything we eat, but since i am just starting, I am hoping the first year is successful enough to keep me continuing. I saw your post about sending free seed to newbies, and here is what I would like from you. I know you said 3 types, you pick the ones that you have most of (out of my wish list and send it to me). Beans - Top crop Cucumbers ' marketmore Eggplant ' black beauty Peppers ' cayenne Squash ' table queen Random seed - Onion ' white libson bunching; Tomato ' rutgets Other random ' sweetie peppers You said you made seed from store bought fruits (for the peppers, can you please tell me how you go about doing this - I would like to try that out for tomatoes and peppers also). Also, if you are looking for any asian vegetables, I am expecting to get some Indian vegetable seeds, let me know if there is anything in specific you would like and I can try and get you those in return for the above that you are going to send me. My interests are Beans, chilies, bitter gourds, cluster beans (guar), greens (amaranthus, malabar spinach, ridge gourd, bottle gourd, indian cucumber, winged beans - which I am planning on looking for locally or through some nursery/online catalogs to get for next year. How does this work, do I need to send you Self Addressed Stamped Envelope ? or would just my address suffice. . Please send me a note and I will follow up based on your instructions. Also, since you are an experienced gardener, if you have any handy tips for a total beginner, I would very much appreciate them.

I still need to look some things up online, and learn a bit about them. It has been so dreary and rainy this week, but I think it should clear up on the week end, and then guess what I'll be doing!! Planting all my goodies! Oh, and the seeds came in cute little Halloween gift boxes, with pictures of the flowers included. Thanks again!, Karen This image is from Halloween Graphics
