| Ann, It will be eastern. I guess Ella had made a post that the swap would open as soon as a "mod" unlocks the barn door. Patty1957 and I chatted and we'll keep the time same as it was last year.... 9AM EST. Terese -- Leesburg, FL & Lake Delton, Wi My Email is my userID at hotmail.com |

| Thanks, Terese...now how "ready" do I have to be? |
|

Thanks, Ann.  I'm glancing through the lists and the excitement is building!  Poppy 'Black Peony' from last year's swap.   |
|
|||
| what a gorgeous poppy. the ones I had were more pink than dark purple. maybe they don't come true from seeds... or OP. and Ann -- I'm not ready at all !! i've totally slacked off. Terese -- Leesburg, FL & Lake Delton, Wi My Email is my userID at hotmail.com |

| Beautiful flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So nice to see. I got a new flyswatter for hand smacking this year. Hahahahahahah. ; ) |
|
|||
| So nice to hear from you, Ella! We're sending along extra thanks to your helpful neighbors! |
|
|||
| Yiiks! Already!?! I'm a lazy piggy. I listed lots of seeds, but did not indicate hpw many of each are available. Oh, well, some will be "3" and some will be "10". How did it get so late in the year so suddenly?!? >> How many among this group grow ornamental (flowering) kale and cabbage from seed? No, but I would like to! Something pretty to cover the grounhdd until the forsts get too hard. What are some variety names to look for? My winter is so mild, I might coax them to last for months. P.S. Chelle, I think you profile needs one more "[" or one fewer space or carriage return. I see all this text instead of just "My HW Swap list": url=http://cubits.org/ellasgarden/db/hogwildseedswap/view/95580/]My 2012 Hog Wild Swap List[/url] |

Thanks, Rick! I was so busy looking at seed lists that I hadn't even looked to see if that link was right.  I should have some seeds available for these shortly. I can't do a web search at the moment, so I can't advise on named varieties until AVG gets its act back together.  |

| Ahh, you have the nice "1-2-3-4-5 format! I'm not that organized this year. They're keeping me busy at work. BTW, I bought TWO kinds of yard-long beans. If you run out, or wnat to try other varieties, let me know. The big one, though, 3 pkts from Tainong, I have yet to split up: ‘Qing-Long' or 'Ching-Long' Chinese Long Bean / Asparagus Bean. 16" dark green pod high yield easy to grow Name means "The Pure Dragon" 2012 Tainong Seeds Rick Corey and 'Orient Wonder' Yard Long Bean (small qty) Vigna unguiculata subsp sesquipedalis green, slender, round stringless pods 16-20" pencil-thick 12' vines - support very crisp, tender good for Szechwan Dry-Fried Beans prefers warm & humid, but more adapotable than some. sow late spring to early summer, 1" deep, 65-85°F thin to 7" 2012 Kitazawa #001 |

| I liked having links to pictures and info in last year's list, but don't have time for it this year. At least, not yet. I just may need some of those seeds, Rick! I haven't even brought the pods in from mine yet...they might be scattered to the four-corners and I don't even know it. |
|

| Will Zinnia ‘Peppermint Stick’ come true from seed? |
|
|||
Got it, Thanks  |

| Chelle, I checked on my Orient Wonder Yard Long Beans. sadly, that was a surprisingly small pkt from Kitazawa. I have 72 beans total and was going to snd them out as little samples, 12 beans per pkt. But you can have 24 if you want! The "Pure Dragon" Qing-Long Yard Long BAenas are from Tainong Seeds: I got 3 big pkts and asked I-Lung to "pack 'em full". THOSE, I have 15 pkts of, 35 beans per pkt (one heaping teaspoon each). You c an have 35 or 70 of them, if needed! Just oink and ye shall receive! If you do collect some pods and they have not gone moldy, I would love to try your variety, and do a comparison grow. |
|
|||
| Only a few had a bit of mold - I'll keep those. I have only a few green podded, but plenty of red. I'll have to oink tomorrow, I'm fresh out for today. I'd only need the dozen though...I got plenty of beans from planting just 4 seeds last year! Two vines each, lotsa pods. They slowed and finally quit when I stopped watering the veggie patch for the season. |

| OK -- who knows enough about Agastaches to know what's the difference between "rugosa" and "foeniculum" Terese -- Leesburg, FL & Lake Delton, Wi My Email is my userID at hotmail.com |

| Joseph Wrote To adjust popcorn to 14% moisture, I grind the seeds then weigh out a portion of the flour and put it in a shallow dish (aluminum foil) in the oven at 250 F for about two hours. Then weigh again to calculate percent moisture. And add enough water to bring it to 14%, shaking frequently the first few hours to distribute the water evenly. Having the proper amount of water in the seed can double the final volume of popcorn,  Terese -- Leesburg, FL & Lake Delton, Wi My Email is my userID at hotmail.com |

At least the piggies behind the brick wall with oinks still ringing loudly aren't gloating!

| Chelle, have to say I loved what you wrote about your Peacock ... what a character! Oh, and I love the black peony. I grew those once, loved them, but they didn't suit my garden.  Sorellina, all this talk of the Dinosaur Kale ... I think I maybe oinking for it ... but I'd only have room for ONE plant. Sigh ....
