Comments (2)Hi Shirley! I would love to trade for some of your iris! I am open to any that you have listed as I have none of these and looking them up, realize I NEED them, lol! :) The list of iris I have to split right now is pretty long. So please check out my list and see if anything interests you. I also have: Coneflower: Ruby Giant Coneflower: White Swan Coneflower: Pow Wow Wildberry Hosta: First Frost Hosta: Honey Bell ...and some other things I can't think of right now to split. Just let me know what your interested in and I can narrow down my choices from there. :) Have a super day! vina ps. The mixed daylily seeds I got from you 2 years ago are flowering like crazy. They are ALL different and beautiful!! THANK YOU :D...See Morefor Jay and Dawn - and maybe some others
Comments (38)"I'll never be like that because I can stop anytime I want". They always say the first sign of addiction is denial. I remember when a friend whose garden was growing in size said the same thing. A few years later when I still had some control myself I reminded them of what they said. And was told to read her lips. And she said I said anytime I want and I don't want too. That is my boat now. My family and even friends wonder why I spend so much time gardening but also appreciate the produce they get. Of course this year my sister is beginning to wonder when the tomatoes will start coming. Another sign is when you can't wait to check the mailbox to see if a new catalog has arrived. But when someone says something about you receiving so many you say I can't figure out how I got on all of those lists. But just let them throw away one of the 20 plus and you'll notice it before you turn in to sleep. And the seed companies are like the people selling Christmas goodies. Start earlier every year. Now we can blame them for keeping our addiction growing. And then when they why weren't you at the wedding you were invited too and you say oh I didn't feel like going. When the truth is you wanted to take advantage of the nice fall day and spend it in the garden. And then when they say you were seen in the garden you reply I just went out to check on it and time got away. It is nice to be around a bunch of fellow addicts. Because we all need company and a non addict can never understand. Jay...See MoreBlue Jay populations
Comments (18)Since 2007, I have lived in Charlotte N.C., Cocoa Beach Fl. and Montgomery Al. It has been at least twelve years since I have seen a Blue Jay. Here in central Alabama, I haven't seen "any" since we moved here in April of 2010.So the notion they moved south, has no merit. We have five acres and plenty of bird habitat. Many other species such as the Cardinal and Blue Bird are common here. Something is dreadfully wrong with the Blue Jay population! Growing up in Charlotte, they were numerous in number during the 1960's and 70's. I miss this beautiful bird with an attitude! I hope someone with the necessary training and education will accept the challenge to find out what has happened to this wonderful bird....See MoreWooly Blue Jay Tomato Seeds
Comments (4)There are many so called blue tomatoes now available, and while the taste is not all that great as reported back by many at the sites where I read, many amateur breeders, and some not so amateur are working with the original OSU ( Oregon State) P20 selection to try and get some taste in them. One of the listings at Tradewinds looks like it could be the original P20 but isn't called that. There are also some GMO ones around, more specifically the one from England which has had a snapdragon gene inserted to bring in the color. Below I've linked to Tania's superb database website and on the home page if you scroll down, under special links you'll see you can search for varieties by color and then click on the individual ones to see what seed sources might be available, many with pictures and some with comments from others. I am not a fan of anyone buying tomato seeds off e-bay, but there are a few vendors who are OK. If tradewinds just put up their blue jay one for 2013, or even 2012, I didn't check when I was at the site, I doubt you'll get much feedback on the specific one you wanted, and there are lots of others to consider via Tania's website data base.
