Well, I live north of Waco (about halfway to Ft Worth) and it's not too bad. Killeen does suck but we are not quite as flat and bland. But you want to think bland, go to west Texas - I always thought of it as the armpit of Texas. I always apologize to my sister for her living in Big Spring! LOL...

No, that would probably be the best way. Just don't put it in an air-tight baggie or it might try molding before getting here. Like maybe a single wrap in tissue and stuffed in an envelope...? I say this because I sent Greensage some seeds that weren't completely dry and some tried molding on...

I wouldn't mind trying them :) And we are about the same weather-wise so that might help find a good way to start for our area....

:duc

I would like the black hollyhock and can trade.....the list is kinda long so give me a bit to fetch all my seeds..... OK, here goes - of the seeds PLEASE pick 3-4 things since I will not be able to seed a pluthera of any one thing: VEGETABLES Heirloom tomatoes - I have several varieties...

YAY!!! :weee I have been meaning to ask how it's doing :bun Isn't that the most scrumptious blue-violet?? My pics just can't seem to capture the depth of color....

I have never made wine - something I would like to do one day!

See, that's what scares me. But the same site that says to cut everything off says to let it "dry out" for a week or so before planting..... http://www.rhapisgardens.com/sagos/sagopups.htm Here's another one that says only let it set a couple of days...

Yeah, I need to let it dry for "a week or so" so that the cut areas don't develop issues. What should I use for a planting medium? Sand mixed with potting soil and perilite? Or mixed with vermiculite? :hu

What's funny is I can *almost* see you dancing like that :D Absolutely nothing wrong with being exuberant :rose I did not even plant corn so you did WAY better than I did :thumbsup

Sadly I have already butchered it - no roots or fronds :hit I have wanted a Sago for EVER so I am really hoping I can get this one to live since these suckers are so dang expensive :fl

:yuckyuck

OK, my latest score is this little tree-ling that DH brought home from the little old couple. I think it's a Sago Palm "pup" and he was able to bring lots of rootage. But everything I've read says to cut off all the leaves and roots then stick it halfway down into my potting medium and wait for...

All those beautiful pics and no storyline?? :th You know, it might be best we AREN'T neighbors simply because I would be raiding your yard all the time! :ep

:ya :celebrate :bun :throw

So, when ya sending some? :D Those are simply gorgeous!!

LOL, I guess we just have aggressive snakes here. Also if the holes are too small for a snake to get in that may be why you haven't suffered any losses. I use 1" chicken wire and thanks to the mice burrowing in here and there, there are plenty of spots for a snake to get under stuff. The one I...

Nope, not fabrication whatsoever. I can't count how many GROWN chickens I have lost to bull snakes that get in the coop and try to swallow them (head first) then realize the bird is too big and they will regurgitate them. Of course by this time the chicken is very dead. I have had it happen all...

Other than the fact mice carry a multitude of diseases and are very prolific, if the mice being there doesn't bother you then I don't see a problem. Other than they will help bring in snakes that are hunting for food, which in turn could eat your eggs AND suffocate your chickens while trying to...

Between Joe and Ron sharing with me so generously and DH always bringing home stuff for me to grow, there isn't really much for me to wish for - until I saw this: Iochroma australis http://www.strangewonderfulthings.com/118.htm I.MUST.HAVE.THIS. :th
