I have an embarrassing experience from the other side. There is a store here which has large tubs with the most beautiful flowers growing that I always admire. One day I parked near to take a walk in the neighborhood. I saw some seeds of Pink Salvia, I thot, I should ask - then I thot - oh no one collects seed. Even a woman was walking toward me, and I thot, oh she probably doesn't work there. So I took a couple of seed heads, and Yep, she said, "Please don't pick our flowers,", so I showed her I had seeds, not flowers, and she said, "We collect our seeds", so I apologized profusely and offered her back the seeds, which she said, "keep 'em". So my plan is - I'm going to send her seeds of my red salvia, my blue, and my white, and Yvonne's salvia, and tell her the story of Yvonne's salvia, and of course tell her about WS'ing. Hope this will make up somewhat for my rudeness! Always ask! I just haven't made up my mind if I should sign my name, or be anonymous - I'm still embarrassed. ellen

Hi Julie, I don't see a link to your seed list. Can you tell us what you've got? Artemis

Hello and thank you for reading. I've started a deep mulch garden in my backyard using free resources and some seeds I had to buy. I would love some more seeds but I've got a strict budget. Any help would be much appreciated. I'm not looking for quantity, but rather variety.

Hi, we lost our beautiful fully sustainable homestead 3 years ago and thankfully, after a lot of hard work, we have finally moved to a new 5 acre parcel. Unfortunately all my seeds are from the old farm so they are 3 years old, and being a young couple that just purchased our first home our budget is pretty tight. I am just looking for variety not quantity of herbs, so I can use them in the kitchen. We live in a rural area and don't eat out to save money. And you can really taste the difference between a meal prepared with fresh vs. dry herbs.
