Uh oh. I saved seeds for the first time last season, for this year, and - put them in ziploc baggies after the dried. ::sigh:: : (

the best thing to do is cut the dead flowers off and store them a Vase and let them dry out and in a couple of months you can transfer them into a ziploc bag and make sure you label it

I am going to go a little to the right of the convention wisdom that many of you have commented on regarding the packaging of seeds.
The only way I store seed for long time use is in PLASTIC ZIPLOCK bags.
I have seed that is over a decade old that…

Hi! I have a friend in NC who puts her seeds in clean prescription plastic containers, and then places them in her freezer. She has given me quite a few seeds, however, because they have been frozen, they need to be aired out, and left to dry before…

Carolyn K. Malcolm - Zn7(N.GA.) replied to Richard Webb's discussion 'Shade Wild Flowers are nicer than evergreen groundcover' in the group Woodland gardening
Great pictures. Is the bugbane growing out of ferns or are those the "leaves" of it?
And, thanks for the list of plants for shade. I've grown some of them (such as coralbellsfoamflowers, columbine, and would like to grow much more.…

Have you been to "Falling Water"? That's the house built in a rock quarry by Frank Lloyd Wright. It's just East of Pittsburgh along old Rt. 40. Really worth a visit. Also, if you haven't been there, go to Cooper's Rock…

I LOVE moon gardens...................Moon flowers are the best! I used to put the seeds all around my deck and, when they started blooming, I'd have 100-150 blooms a day! Gorgeous!!!

i saved just about every seed i could find last year in plastic bag. i wrote the name of them with a Sharpie on the outside, and put a paper towel, or two, inside with them. The paper towel absorbed the moisture. The seeds grew like crazy. Now,…

Compost Tea
Posted on June 10, 2009 at 2:07pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I wondered if Dean got my message regarding compost tea? I'm sure you got lots of advice; but let me know if you did get it. Otherwise I think it's "out there somewhere in the vastness of the WEB"!
Interesting name

I have an Aunt Vivian who, when she was little, couldn't pronounce her name.......all she could manage was "Bibi". Stuck with her and she's almost 90.

Linda Dressler said… - Carolyn, You asked me the name of the magenta flower that is among my photos. I don't know what it is. It's an annual just planted for the summer. It looks like it's in the ageratum family...but...I could be very wrong. Perhaps someone else recognizes it. I will keep trying to find out.

Jan Carroll z/7a said… - I was looking in my "Georgia Gardener's Guide" and saw the zone map for just GA. Most of Cobb Co. is in zone 7a, like a small bay dipping into 7b. Must have something to do with the elevation.

I also agree with you about hearing from all over the country. So very interesting.......!

- Hey Carolyn! Flowery Branch to Alpharetta is a long way to go to school! Wow! This has been fun "meeting" people on here that are in the area. Its been interesting to read what other gardeners are doing and see what their gardens look like. Some really talented and knowledgeable people sharing their talents.
