Copied from the other thread: Ella wrote: Quoting: ATTENTION PIGGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ THIS NOTICE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you would, please get your INCOMING database sections filled in and up to date. It makes the job of my counters, so much easier when I ask them how the counts doing? I also use the counts to determine whether ya get more oinks or not and when I see a bunch of empty " Incoming" sections I think ya all got plenty of oinks yet ya haven't used. Get em listed and have a little count total somewhere please. Since I am helping Rising and Anita and a few other piggies, I don't have time to do the counts myself and that will help the counters out tremendously too. Myself and my counters would appreciate it. To make it easier on yourself, you can go to here the Participant's List and just copy and paste all the names to your database or if your unable, let me know and I will copy and paste it for you. A couple examples are like Chelle, who is keeping a running total at the bottom. Another example is Poisondart, she has hers at the top. PLUS..... Folks are trying to fill Wishes too and they can't tell if you already managed to oink for that seed or not and maybe fulfill a different one of your Wishes. So, Please!!!! Take amoment, get your databases up to date and than come back and do your oinking. It won't take ya that long to do. Thanks from me and the counters!!!!

I'm moving this post over so it doesn't get lost: Ella wrote: Quoting:PIGGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PIGGIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ THIS ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am giving you notice of an up and coming event, so you can mark your calenders for that day. On Sunday, Nov. 30th at 3 PM EST. There will be a BLACK FRIDAY shopping day. Since my server usually overloaded on that friday, I am moving it to Sunday afternoon. For all of you folks who don't know what a Black Friday Shopping Day is, especially our long haulers it is a day most all the stores start holding their big early Christmas sales. People will start in the wee hours of the morning lining up at stores to try and get great bargains on their holiday shopping. I will be putting up a special database called The Black Friday List. This will have a whole bunch of seed listed. Some new, some old, some from swaps, some bits and pieces. As everybody has been good so far, which I do so thank you for, I will be giving you some extra Oinks to shop with for those couple of days. Just as the stores are a madhouse during the black friday shopping days, it will be here too. Newbies be prepared to do some crazy oinking. You all will be going Hog Wild those days. You'll be running and oinking and just having a wild time trying to be the first to the seed trough and there gonna be alot of it listed. As we get closer to the date, I will be bringing you more information. Besides myself, last year we had some other piggies that had held back seed and posted it on the Black Friday day. I have already been asked if they can do the same again this year. Yes, you can!! Piggies just be ready to run your little hoofs off, jump over other piggies, and really find yourself covered with mud, as this is a fun quick extra shopping time and it is a first come, first serve basis for seed. Oh I love seeing a good mud wrestle. Salsa Garden ~~ Seed Cellar Oregon ~~ Maui Quote | Post #1100613 (3)

starlight1153 Got your oink! gardengus Tossed yours in as well. I had no luck with the Chinese Cucumber, but I think they really need a heat mat, and I don't have one. ArleneB Getting ready to toss you some Lobelia erinus Riviera White...and luckily enough I hadn't yet tossed (in the trash ) another packet of the yellow agastache marked "few seeds and chaff"...so, if you can find a couple in there you'll be good to go on that one, too.

Found the piggies. There may be seeds sprouting in my keyboard, the caps keys are acting wonky. I am on post 56 of the last thread, I will be up to speed eventually. nbgard I can divide the seeds for another oink or two. I went to sleep before packing them up. I couldn't find the file from my labels last year, so I am doing new and improved labels this year. I am not sure if the mint progeny will be variegated. I had tested the seed for viability when I first gathered them, but didn't grow them out. The mother plant is prettier if it gets a bit of sun. It will survive in shade, but is more variegated in filtered sunlight. I grow my mints in pots so that they don't take over my garden. This mint is vigorous here in zone 6a. You may be able to have a mint lawn further south. Click here for my facebook page! Click here for the Craft Stash Sale! Click here for my etsy shop AliveAndStiching Quote | Post #1100660 (12)
