2012 Spring Seed Swap

[Kassaundra]

Thanks Dawn! I'll look the next time I'm at the store.

After Dawn's post I told my husband to look next time he was in Wally world, and he got me one today ( I actuallly wanted more then one, but I'll plant this one and use the next one he gets me) I was looking up info on medicinal uses for it and I was intrigued to try one for sinus infection/congestion, hayfever and asthma I've tried nearly everything else might as well give it a try too.

Kassaundra,

You might find this Fire Cider tonic recipe helpful: http://www.herbalremediesinfo.com/firecider.html

Hubby and I have been taking it for months now and love the stuff! Here's a link from the Sufficient Self sister site, where several of us are concocting it and taking it:

I thought you all would like this - if you haven't read it already.
I was telling my friends about this on Saturday & they thought I was making it up.
I just posted to their facebooks to rub it in

, but thought I'd share with you all, too.

Edited to add the link - boy, do I need more coffee.

I am going to get my seeds started this weekend, it will be a few weeks before they go outside but Im just so excited to get stuff growing. Thank you everyone for all the neat seeds, they are going to mix in nicely with the rest of my garden.

BTW the Peppers have been the talk of my friends lately, we cant wait until they mature into their "Special" form

Talks2chickens - Yours is finally going out. You had only 1 request and I have spent the last two weeks running around to everywhere around here that sells seeds. They FINALLY put them out yesterday at Rural King and I picked you up a couple packs of tall ornamental grasses. Hope they offset the tardiness.

Dawn I believe I found a perfect flower companion for those blueberries, the african daisies that Wendy shared in one of the swaps.

 

[Carols Clucks]

Kassaundra, why do you suggest African Daisy for blueberries? (not questioning you, just what to hear how they benefit each other)

Wondering if I should move some to my blueberries or if what I have with them is okay.

Thanks
Carol

It was one of the few flower seeds I had that also loved acidic soil, same ph as blueberries love.
