Everyone who's registered on GardenWeb got one, no doubt. Your sign on and email address is there to be easily broadcast en masse. I don't want all kinds of advertising, etc. littering up my physical and email boxes. Delete it if you don't feeling like entering or need another tchotchke.

Yes I got one and promptly deleted it. Sorry; don't need or want any free "stuff." Nothing is ever completely "free."

I never respond to those things. It's not that I'm "worried", I just can't be bothered. And I know it will generate more junk mail in my in-box. Eh.

tama-bama-jama confirmed its legit ...

so all you are left with.. is what those above said

ken

The only e-mail I got from GW was about it being sold, but of course nothing meaningful will change.

Right.

In case anyone was curious..... Got my surprise today, a personal welcome letter and a Houzz tape measure. A nice gesture and I haven't seen any change in spam or junk emails. Actually all my gardenweb goes to a separate email account so my total spam was and still is zero.

Well that looks like a nice little gift. I have a small tape measure like that that is easy to stick in my purse that comes in handy when I'm out shopping for something that needs measuring.

Hello all, I'd like to introduce myself a little and more about what I do and maybe get some conversations going to fill up these boring winter nights.

• I first started Garden Web back in 2011 in the cacti and succulent garden, then moved to winter sowing but my real love has always been and always will be perennials. I have quite a few but I'm sure many of you have quite a few more.
• I've been gardening since 1990 and started working at my dream come true a Nursery/Landscaping company.
• I later was hired to start up and run two different greenhouses. After having a physical set back for a few years,
• I slowly started working in peoples perennial beds again.
• I started winter sowing as a way to propagate many perennials and have them all live.
• I also grow annuals as well and some tomatoes.
• I do this mostly for the fun of it and give a lot away.
• I also take some of my plants to the to farmer's markets.
• I also live on a corner and before I started driving again recently I sold my wares on the street corner.
• But this isn't a success story as much as it is a love story.
• I love what I'm doing and will give it away to anyone who shows an interest.
• I know very little compared to some of you, and am here to learn and have fun.
• I love sharing pictures too.
• I couldn't leave my first note without sharing some of my flower favorites.

1. My favorites are Delphiniums because they are the Princesses' of the garden,
2. Echinacea's, mostly the shorter ones, and it seems like I've grown found of
3. Biennials this year. Unless you're a garden nut, people don't seem to keep biennials going.

I've started several seeds from seed already this year... I already seeded 2 Perennial Delphiniums (one of the Delphs was Carmine red, awesome huh?) and 2 Larkspurs.

I recently bought about 10 more different seeds to winter sow.

I Love the color peach and ordered

1. Digitalis Apricot Beauty ,
2. Agastache Apache Sunset ((which is one of my least favorite plants), but since it's in combination color of peach, orange and rose... I think it will be interesting,
3. Begonia Illumination Apricot Shades,
4. Geraniums Maverick Coral and a huge pack of
5. Accent Premium Salmon Impatiens
6. and just 15 Impatiens Divine orange seeds.

I ordered two different peach double Hollyhock seeds;

1. Salmon Queen and
2. Spring Celebrities Apricot Mix. The 2nd I will only get TEN SEEDS CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? AND I PROBABLY PAID THE MOST FOR IT, LOL, THAT'S CRAZY! Does anyone know how pretty these are? The color is very two-toned and bloom is double and frilled.
3. And just 15 divine orange Impatiens.

I've sown all my seeds from seed swaps and my first two shopping sprees. Can anyone relate? Below is a Dwarf Double Pink Hollyhock from 2 years ago.

What goes good with peach? I'm asking you, but I'm going to suggest purple.

If I can find the picture, a Salmon Geranium and a lavender Cleome

Hi micki! Thanks for the intro. It sounds like you are really into gardening for flowers from perennials. I agree that you can get alot of plants from wintersowing seeds. I did it last year for Esprit penstemons and out of 100 seeds, I got about 50+ plants. Unbelievable. The others i have less success with but enough plants for my taste of them. I got some cherry brandy rudbeckias, some foxgloves and lupines as well as a few daylilies.
