I know this post is kind of old but I just became a member too. I don't have any of the plants you mentioned (and it's too cold here to send plants now) but would you be interested in handmade candles? I make candles in a variety of shapes (votives, pillars, stars etc) and scents. If you are interested, let me know and I can email you with a list of the scents and molds that I have and we can work something out. Jenell

I'm a vegi garden newbie. I built 3 rasied beds, 24'x6'x2' deep, one for blueberries(acid),lingonberries(acid), strawberries, rhubarb, garlic, other perennial small fruit/vegi. The other two beds are for the vegi garden, plus I plan on making a couple of potato planters, and a couple of container tomatoes and peppers for potential overwintering. This will be my 3rd growing season in my first home. the first two I worked on the perennial fruit garden/orchard. These vegis are 100x worse than the fruits, too many options, how can one pick, especially when they all say they are the best? I know I want: Tomatoes (sauce, paste, salsa, fresh, cherry, weird colors[that taste good], I would like both hybrid and heirloom for comparison) Peppers (bells, sweets, hot [no hobanero or hotter]) Sweet Potatoes Okra Potatoes Carrots (some super sweet for raw) Beets Summer Squash/Zuccinni Winter Squash (not too wet, prefer drier) Green Beans Sweet Corn Popcorn Turnips Edimame* (especially fond of) Melons (sweet, any) Basil (pesto) Any other vegi you think I should grow. I would be happy with direction, but truely grateful if someone would adopt me.

It looks like the common white/cream Freesia, widely naturalised in south-eastern Australia. It has been known as F. alba or F. refracta, but my understanding is that it is probably an old hybrid with one or both of these species in its parentage. Around Sydney you can find populations with a lot of colour variation, some plants tending more to violet or pale orange.

Glenn that is good to hear, I was so excited when I 1st came up with the bright idea and now that the weekend is only a day away I am thinking ohhh no, what did I get myself into!!! lol
