    2 more for me, total 8 for zone 8

    Thanks again to paulan, who sent me seeds of Adenium obesum pink (Desert Rose). It's new to me, a hot weather plant native to arid regions of Africa & Madagascar, popular in Asia. It's been hot & dry here so I hope that it germinates and feels at home. A waterwise plant!

    The good news is 106 got planted today. The bad news is I have yet to WS Marigolds, Sunflowers, Zinnia, Asters and Morning Glories. I just love deadlines! Count on me to be sowing at 11:55 PM on May 1.

    Another rainy day. (sigh). So I ws'd......

    1209 is my new total. I ws'd "royal family" sweet peas in honor of the royal wedding. :P. I'm on the letter "t" so I am almost done! I know I have a ton of zinnias though...... I'm running out of deck space and may have to start filling my patio. LOL

    OT but is it true you can't sow zinnias in the same place 2 years in a row? Or same deck container?

    Meadows - you are too funny - !! No way - plus, I thought tonight was deadline, hmm - haha.

    R U kidding me? I got stuff growing out of milk jugs everywhere - thankfully my neighbors are even sharing nice beds for me to play in!!!! I am gonna try and do a few more.. but nothing wild and crazy - already too wild and crazy around here!!!!

    ok - let's see what we can work out.. esp since you are TEAM ZONE 7 (and didn't trade-out on us earlier in the year;).... jodie's zone 5, so her wild and crazy self is only on the "P's" - she's got a few more hundred coming.. you have 5 more types to sow, and are probably gonna want to do a few of each (and I'll assume you may have a variety of each type) - hmm.. what are you shooting for, and it'll give me final boost to sow some seeds.. WHAT!@#@$.. gotta be crazy - I got morning glories, zinnia's - already sprouted.. but - could do some sunflowers and aster :) I'm gonna need a little incentive. haha.. it sounds.. like I need to make some coffee!!!! Let me know!

  • diggerdee zone 6 CT
    12 years ago

    I never thought I would be posting down to the wire... but please add 6 more for z4. The peas I sowed earlier haven't started sprouting yet and I'm nervous they rotted instead. :-( SO, I sowed 6 more containers of peas tonight! Whew, can't wait to start planting stuff out!

    Ok........ Let's have some fun here.... I found out after I started posting for zone 5 that I am actually zone 6. I'm close to the lake so that bumps me up a zone I guess. I looked at several websites that checked my zone via zip code and they all came back ZONE 6! Sorry I assumed I was zone 5. Recently moved... Newbie mistake. ;)

    So I would like really like to move my 1209 containers to zone 6!!! Sorry
    zone 5 but you win every year so I don't feel sorry for ya! ;). You can still
    win this year but you'll have to work last minute for it...

    So the final count so far would look something like
    Zone 5- 5300
    Zone 6- 5600
    Zone 7- 4700 with meadows and ldsluder doing a big push to the end!!!

    So I think it's ANYONES GAME TO WIN!!!!

    PLEASE DON'T HATE ME FOR DOING THIS!!! it's in the spirit of some good, clean, FUN competition!! Hahahahahahahaha

    GAME ON!!!!!!!!
