Once again, Garden Web friends shine thru to brighten each other's day. I've just received very pretty homemade jewelry from Jodi -Mngardener, wow, thank you again, hope we make many more trades. Hi SJack and Plant, welcome and hope you enjoy. I've just gotten inside, doing the basics, often watering twice a day and of course drying flowers. Rushing at the moment, had to check the posts, I do have extra seeds thanks mostly to Joseph-Callaloo1, just got his seeds too- Thank you again Joseph-we've planned another trade long enough. He's the Salvia and Japanese Morning Glory King, sent me some other really nice seeds - mostly glad about Rebecca's Marigolds as mine never returned, lots of Basil -Sweet Italian, both from this year, will divide and send out asap...along with other seeds I find and recieve. Just send me email so I can send you my address. best wishes, Bea

I have some photo to show below:

Hi Ollierose - I'm interested in your gaillardia seed. I'd like to trade for a fairly hefty sized packet if you have it available and if I have anything you might be interested in. I've got an abundance of rudbeckia - rustic mix. You've probably seen this photo in the WS group before: The variety of color is just spectacular. I've also got artemisia absinthe going to seed like crazy out in the herb garden right now if that's an artemisia that might interest you. Let see - would you like some gaillardia Razzle Dazzle? (That's an annual type.) And since you are a helianthus fan would you like a tall mix (from Autumn Colors and a bunch of other ones) and some knee high ones too (Big Smile)? I'm never going to be able to squeeze all of those into my garden next year. Drop me an e-mail if you are interested and we can work out details. Lynda

Sorry guys- I ended up planting all the seeds- so far 3 have come up. The moist paper towel germination method works better than planting them in soil. I only wish I could grow cherimoyas- that is my favorite fruit and it costs a fortune when we can get them here! WRF- I did find fresh seeds, but they don't seem to sprout. I found out it is a very slow growing plant, so I bought a nice sized plant and I think the grower said I still have 4-5 yrs to wait for fruit! So if you can, buy a plant, the wait from seeds would kill ya!
