Welcome back!! Glad you're still enjoying gardening & WS even on a limited basis. I'm a seed-aholic and will be happy to trade when the time comes. This is my 2nd year WS so I've got things blooming for the first time from seeds I WS last year that I hope to harvest seeds from. It promises to be a banner year for lupine seeds in particular.

Hey Cheryl, so good to see you here again. I'm glad that times ahead are looking good for you.

Sadly, many of the old timers aren't around any more, or not much anyway. But some of us old die hards are still here.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check "leaving the wintersown gardens" thread by tiffy in the conversations area.

Congratulations! I'm almost a 1-year newbie. Very Happy to read about your good new in these times.

Hi Ccoupir, sorry to hear about your losses, but glad to hear you are able to enjoy this wonderful hobby again.

This is my 4th year WSing, not exactly a newbie, not exactly an oldie. I am enjoying growing plants from seeds very much!

Hi Cheryl,
So good to see you post again. Welcome back.
The offer still stands for most plants in my garden. Come any time after July 1.

Right now I am in Ireland. Will get back on July 1.

Lucky you Piti!

Welcome back to winter sowing. Glad that you have enjoyed sowing this year and are looking forward to a new home and gardens.

I have three 'Ice Ballet' Asclepias from seed you sent in 2006 that I need to plant out. I haven't traded seeds much this past year and removed my trade list but let me know if you want any of these this fall.

Welcome back, Cheryl! Hope the troubling times are all behind you. In my newbie year (2005-06), you sent me many seeds for postage. One of my favorites from that batch was giant blue hyssop. It is still coming back each year. I love smelling it and watching the bumblebees feasting on it. Seems you also did the WS database one year.

All the best,

Thanks to everyone for the memories! The house is SOLD!!! YEA!!
mnwsgal ... I still have some "Ice Ballet' seed! Waiting till I get to a permanent home to start it though.

Barbara ... Glad you are enjoying the Hyssop. Not sure if I have any seed from that. Too bad too because it made a lovely home in a corner by my powder room (sigh ...).

Hey Mone ! can't believe you're in Ireland! Maybe I can get up there in the early fall for a visit.

Karen .. my heart has really been going out to Tiffy having just gone through this myself. I can say that wsing again has a whole new meaning now!

Cheryl, let me know if you want seeds of the giant blue hyssop. I'll save some for you.
