| I am trying to take it easy this year. I sowed 29 containers this weekend and all my perenial seeds and cold hardy ones are gone.
I am resisting the urge to order some more. I keep thinking maybe I should get some alyssum or more creeping thyme or some interesting rudbeckia's or something new? I could use some more pink and white flowers... HELP I am trying to resist but I think I might be going crazy for more seeds!!! Karen |

| Karen - you're welcome to some of my "stash" since I could WS over a thousand jugs if I kept going--I have THAT MANY seeds. Send a BEAP and I'll stuff it with perennial seeds. Not everything in my seed stash is listed on my trade page because I wasn't ready to give some away until I was sure I had enough for my own needs. Now I know I could put together a few dozen newbie packs and not miss any of them! If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you a list of what I've got extras of. I know I have plenty of Shasta daisy, hollyhock, blackberry lily, rudbeckia, dianthus, penstemon, hosta, astilbe and a few others. Eileen |

| You both twisted my arm.... I sent you both emails. I will go tomorrow and get some stamps and bubble envies. I love SEEDS!!! YEAH Thank you both for the offer! Anyone out there want some melon seeds? I have a few packs Karen |
|
| I also plan to buy some more cucumber seeds and dill. I am picturing lots of canning of pickles this summer. My kids and hubby love my garlic pickles!! Karen |

| Karen, Haven't got your email yet but I emailed you through GW. I made up a list of what I've got and you can pick the ones you want, just as if you were "shopping" only this won't cost you an arm and a leg!! (;-p) Here's what I have lots of to share: |

| Hi Karen - just saw the list with all the goofy characters. Hope you can decipher the names! |
|
| don't worry about the bubble mailer - I have some. Just 4 stamps and a mailing label should do it. |

| (background: clicking of the heels-3x's) "I Shall Not Buy Any Seeds..." "I shall Not Buy Any Seeds..." "I won't, I won't, I won't..." Keys are in hand, "I think I need to go to Lowes to see if they have Seeds?" "Rehab. Please!?" |
|
| ladyrose65, that one made me laugh :) Thanks to my enablers bakemom and garden weed. I have sent email to both of you. thanks also for the bubble mailer too bakemom. I only could find one so far. I was going to buy one more tomorrow. I am so excited. the dirt I have in the garage will get some use! I just love WS'ing and this place everyone is so nice. Last year I shared a bunch of seeds because I did not want them to go to waste. (plus it was some stuff I could not grow in my zone) WS people are the best! |
|
| I decided I am not resisting anymore. If sowing seeds makes me happy then I will sow them :) Thanks to the ladies that offered me seeds. This year I am not getting a salary (student teaching) and my hubby would have been mad if I spent a lot on seeds. Karen |
|
| Go Karen! Welcome to the joy of sowing seeds.. Tell you hubby its a cheaper hobby then crack...LOL.. and it tastes better ..but yeah it's just as addicting... |
|

| Cheaper hobby than buying SHOES! |
|
| Yep cheaper hobby than most. Plus I get to add beauty to the world! Karen |
|
| Gardenweed, will you have any left to share after Karen? This is my first year and I would love to have a few things you have. I have a bubble mailer that I can reuse from a very gererous trade (gift) from pipi. You have many things I do not yet have. So sad that I feel that I must have that, and that and that, and oh yeah I need that too... HELP! Linda |

| Reality is starting to set in as germination occurs and I am having a hard time sowing more. I think my eyes are bigger than my yard, my sisters and my parents, lol. Oops!! |
|
| ...WS is better than other addictions... 1. doesn't hurt your liver. 2. won't give you lung cancer. 3. won't make you fat - in fact may make you trim. 4. doesn't lead you to rob someone to feed your addiction (well- as long as we provide seeds to those who need them.) 5. won't pump your adrenaline too much. (thrill addiction) 6. won't hurt your eyes (computer addiction) However, All in all - this is a positive addiction. :) |
|
| I am about finished as I am running out of space to hide my jugs. No more after Monday..this is very addictive. |
|
| Ellen, that was funny....I hide seeds all the time. Sounds bad. I got a pack of dill seeds at the grocery store. They were just calling my name. I left them in my purse and then sowed them real quick! Pippi, the space for the jugs is a problem for me. I started just putting them where I plan to plant them later. This way I have less walking around when planting time comes. I always worry my HOA is going to get mad at me for my containers.... Karen |
