Huge thanks...and an apology

10 years ago

Tim (Peppernovice) was recently kind enough to send me a sample pack of seeds to introduce me to hot pepper growing. In my excitement I neglected to thank him for his incredible generosity...and for this I am truly sorry. Tim your gift was GREATLY appreciated, and even though the email address I have listed on here is no longer working (created account in 2001), that is NO excuse for not contacting you. I PROMISE to pay it forward when I harvest seeds next year...sorry agin, I meant no offense.

Jerry....I apologize for my earlier rant. I was frustrated at something else and i took it out on you. That was my mistake. Just pay it forward and all is good!

Jerry, when you sent your address to me, you had it set so I couldn't reply to you. My question, you also wanted Thai Hot Orange seeds. Do you still want Thai Hot Orange seeds? If so, it will be a couple of weeks before I send them and the Tabasco, the Thai Hots aren't ready for seed collection yet.

Hi All Here is a short list of the divisions. When I have a spare bit of time, I will try and find the complete classifications. Division I Species Division II Long Trumpet Division III Belladonna type hybrids Division IV Reginae type hybrids Division V Leopoldii hybrids Division VI Orchid flowering types Division VII Doubles Division VIII Miniature Amaryllis hybrids Division IX Unclassified hybrids This is the shortened list. I will type out the full list when Ive got a bit of time. Jodik, plenty of flowers just coming into bud at the moment. I will take some more pics when Ive got a chance. Work at the moment has just got busy, all the brits getting desperate for their bedding plants for the summer!! I really wish we could grow something interesting rather than Polyanthus, pansies or Fuchsia's !! Work combined with family, 1 national collection and taking over the Amaryllis belladonna collection, life is pretty hectic at the moment. The americans amongst you maybe able to help though.Im curious about the so called 'heirloom varieties' of hippeastrums, Amaryllis and Crinums. I'm trying to get an idea of what they are and whereabouts they are grown. So if any of you have any pics and/or info you could send me that would be great. Im curious as to what they look like, as the paictures Ive seen so far, all look the same, especially the Hippeastrums. Thanks andy

I was not the recipient of either but can so relate to the mix up. I saved seeds for what I marked as chard and to my surprise there are beets growing in the spot that was to be chard. But like you said, all is a blessing, when it is green and growing in the garden.

You people amaze me. Thank you so much for the kind words, prayers, support, hugs and just being there! You all made me smile from the inside out when I read these posts. So thank you so much. Update: My mom has been moved to skilled nursing in the hospital (she lost the use of her left foot); I am slingless; my cousin's husband was pulled off of life support yesterday and as I mentioned to Alexa, alot of you probably know of his family or at least a bunch of the little ones, as his nephew and his wife were the ones that had the McCaughey (pronounced "McCoy") 6 or 7 babies in Iowa a few years back. This is going to be a very different Christmas, all bundled with a Thai Christmas party on Christmas Eve....kinda reminds me of "A Christmas Story", I just need the hideous lamp to pull it together...LoL. Happy Holidays! Brenda

Pam, sorry I would be more than willing to pay for seeds...my experience with Tim has made me feel like a moocher, and that is NOT my intent on this forum. My email address is finng@live.com if you are interested in selling seeds...thanks for your time.

Again Jerry, I apologize. I had tried to contact you to make sure you received the package, but I never got a response. I saw you posting and it hit me the wrong way (I was already upset about something else). I let my mouth(fingers) get ahead of my brain and said something I regret. Please don't hesitate to interact with the community. If it truly bothers you, then get as many seed donations as you can. Grow out lots of plants, and give seeds to everybody who needs them.
Please don't let my bad day ruin your otherwise positive experience with garden web. Hang around and enjoy this place. It's full of great people who are very knowledgeable.

Jerry, No need to apologize, I just wanted to let you know that there was a reason that you wouldn't be receiving the seeds I promised you in a timely manner. Seems silly to send them separately, and I just didn't want you to think that I had forgotten. So far the Thai oranges are mostly green, one is about ready, but not quite. Soon though. They will be in the mail once they ripen. Tabascos are already in the envelope waiting.
