WANTED: Whats with the 'Wante' heldline? (short rant)

20 years ago

Okay, hello Webmaster. There are more than two choices hereabouts it is obvious to me; There is "Wanted", to be sure, and available to "Trade," but missing catagories include, "Offered," (things for free), "Delivered," as in fulfilled, and "Stuff," as in information.

Isin't anyone else bothered or frustrated by this?

WANTED: Short season peppers
Q
Comments (8)
It certainly is subjective! I am fussy about my peppers and tomatoes producing early. I grow for sale so I don't have space to waste and I cut out varieties that do not perform well enough and laud the ones that do! The Siling Haba is a wonderful mild hot pepper, less than jalapeno and very prolific. Despite being from Philippines they are very early. The Laotian one is very hot and small. 1 pepper heats a full wok of food. Bulgarian Carrot and Gourmet are the ones I would strike off, and maybe the Mulato pepper. Paprika peppers do well. Frank's and Odessa Market are as early as banana peppers. For mild hot peppers the earliest I get are Hungarian Wax/ Banana, Siling Haba, and Laotian. The earliest sweet peppers are Odessa market and Sweet banana and Cal Wonder is next. But this is my first year with Frank's as it was sold out last year.

Jan, I can now make it, things have happened to prevent me from my former plans with my niece - details in person only. SO - I want your sweet autumn clematis if not already claimed - look at this picture of my asiatic( I think) lollipop lilies - and my other pics, and let me know if you want some. a lot of my lilies will hopefully bloom by then - b/c i also have some stargazers, and then some "red" - "orange" - "yellow" - lol Some stuff i haven't divided yet, that will be this summer, but i can always dig up and bring hopefully. would also LOVE cuttings of any/all of the willows. i had some from you before, and don't know what happened to them dang it. Here is a link that might be useful: my lilies

I have some fragrant pinks but they may be too tall for what you want. The flower stems are 18 to 24 inches above the short mounding leaves. The seeds aren't quite ripe yet, but if you're interested, I'll set some aside for you when they are ready. Barb

I guess I appeared more upset than I am or was. Confounded a bit by the format, I wrote more intensely than I meant to sound.

Cake, that did it!

Bubbe, if it helps, I'm frustrated with it too. I don't remember to change the blasted thing, although I know I can.

I wish they would stop "improving" things that I then need to "un-improve". Sigh.

Thanks Annie,

I've been away awhile so changes don't sit so well with me. New webmasters, site servers and the like. It's hard to resist change when it provides all these other things, like knowing each other.

I am hijacking this thread to rant that I don't wrap or barely wrap my swap stuff. I know I should like I've seen most of you do. You all do a great job. I'm either lazy or I don't care. By the time I get done with research and brain/shopping work, then finding a box and and securely packing the items, I just don't compute the wrapping part. Sigh. I'm a flawed swap partner.

It's okay jessyf! Not too worry. I'm only just now wrapping! My buddy may have preferred I just send everything, which I had last Friday. But alas, weekend company intervened...

Back to the thread though, I noticed Gina was able to get the first letter of her subject to be capitalized after removing the WANTED. How?!? I tried for a good long while, everything I could think of, but to no avail!

Help!
