Silly me...

15 years ago

I wish I had been smarter a couple months ago. I did not think to buy any "fall" seeds. And I also didn't realize that by the middle of July NO STORES carry seeds.

All I wanted was some corn and beans. Grrrrrrr.

Just had to vent ;) Lesson learned!

What about online stores such as Park Seeds and Gurneys and Burpee, etc?
Corn is the main reason I'm gardening!
I bought almost all of my seeds online.

I did look at a few store, but I'm so darn cheap ROFL. When I pay 99 cents a pack normally, paying $3+ seems crazy. ROFL. Call me CHEAP!

I might still though. ;) I actually have a cart full on Gurneys site. LOL.

Hi Mary and Thank you for the compliment! I purchased the atrium at a little store in Columbia SC and I just love it. I usually keep African Violets in it they seem to be very happy in there. Last year Sams wholesale in Charleston sold one that was almost like that one, maybe they will get them back around Christmas time check with them from time to time and hopefully you can find one.

There also may be differences in the shapes of the leaves. I'm not surprised, because coral flowers imply the presence of a yellow pigment, usually a xanthophyl, based on carotene. A red or magenta anthocyanin is also present to give orange tones. Violet colrs are often a blend of two anthocyanin pigments, one blue and another red or magenta.

We did get away for one night last weekend, up to San Francisco, about 2 hours away, so we did manage to escape briefly. And I got word that my puppy, not even a year old, had a major win at the dog show today, and a reserve win yesterday. It's a big deal. Wish I could have been there, but I am fortunate to have lots of friends who have reported back to me about the pup's win and how she looked, too. Thanks for your concern. I really see Mother slipping in her overall condition, and she knows it, too. She's so frail, it's scary. I'll know more tomorrow.

No one told me I had 8 big blue 'X' s on my neck!

What's really odd is that I accidentally touched one of the blue 'X's right after he marked them and the nurse gave me a little alcohol swab and it removed it quickly. So that's another reason why I assumed they washed it off.

Wow, corn and beans as fall crops. I'm planting peas, carrots, cauliflower, radishes, spinach and lettuce this fall.

Gotta love climates.

After reading up on seed rack companies, I will think long and hard for alternatives to those. Good seed that is far in excess of minimum government standards is worth a few bucks.

Enjoy your fall garden!

LOL I'm strange aren't I? I actually looked at our frost date and then was able to find a few corn online that would be ok before the frost. I "know" its not a fall crop but really wish I had planted some and now that I have room thought it would be worth a try. LOL.

As for beans, same thing, I actually just put my last few leftover seeds about a week ago and they are growing like crazy! It JUST started getting hot here. We've just had a week of all days above 80 for the first time this year.

If you have a K mart they carry seeds, also the Home Depot here still has seeds, and my local nursery still has seeds. Hope that helps.

Jeni: email your address and I'll send you a few of each. I have about half a package left. They're nothing special, but I might as well share em as they will probably be too old next year to germinate well.

LOL, they are more expensive online than in the store for certain. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted in the stores though and it was so fun to read up on everything in the online catalog! :) Next thing I knew I had a cart full of stuff and had pressed the order button LOL.
I just planted my corn this past Sunday. It wasn't supposed to go in until August, but I think it will be okay a few days early!
