Oh you're gonna have so much fun, Cam!


See what I woke up to blooming this morning...








Geraniums.


: )

[Willow87]

Those are beautiful Sherry! Did you grow those from seed? My mom's friend bought some some heat tolerant geraniums called 'Caliente' They are suppose to take Texas heat well

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, I grew them from seed Cam. Not especially fond of red but they are so pretty who wouldn't enjoy them.


I've been changing things around again in my aero-garden! I think I've got it right this time though. I'm going to grow 6" zinnias and cornflowers in the same pod. It'll be like a bouquet of flowers.


Some of my hot peppers in pots in my windows are beginning to set buds! Soon I'll be collecting many more pepper seeds from my growings and I can surely share them with you guys. Some are turning out very pretty. You'll see, because I'll show shots later.


Do you think you might start some pepper seeds Cam, when you get my envelope? You will just die when you see that "Masquerade" variety. That is one stunningly colorful and gorgeous pepper plant.


: )

[Willow87]

Wow it must be so nice to have something flower that you grew from seed. I'm going definitely start the pepper seeds. I showed my mom and sister your pepper pics and they were amazed. I need something colorful for my yard and indoors

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yeah it is cool having something you grew from seed, bloom. I'm really liking that soft pink one with the white centers. That's the color geranium I was looking for this year.


It's time to re-pot both of them tomorrow morning. They need bigger pots and then they'll bloom like crazy. It really was nice to wake up to the first of the blooms this morning. Kinda cheered me up.


: )

[Willow87]

I would love to have flowering plants indoors. I may save quite a few seeds for next year and plant the castor bean and peppers. oh and the sunflowers

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Man you're gonna have a lot of sunflowers Cam!


: )

[Willow87]

I cant wait to grow them. I love sunflowers. I will have some cut flowers for summer now

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes and I sent you those carnation seeds you requested too...they make excellent and super long-lasting cutflowers Cam.


I think I might have sent you the white marigolds as well, and if so, they are just amazing for cutflowers too.


You'll be happy when you see. I shouldn't get your hopes up but wouldn't it be too cool if you got my seeds tomorrow?! Anything's possible and I know your mail service is faster than ours.


We'll see, but likely Saturday.


: )

[Willow87]

I love carnations, I definitely want some cut flowers for indoors. Wow I didnt know there were white marigolds. Those are my favorite annuals. It would be nice if I got the seeds tomorrow =)

[The Hollyberry Lady]

They're called French Vanilla and they're like a very very pale yellow but the sun bleaches them nearly white after a few days. They're one of my most favorite flowers.


JaNan requested them, but I thought I sent some to you too Cam. Let me know. The seeds sprout in two days!


Back in awhile, crocodile...


: )

[Willow87]

Oh cool! I cant wait to grow them. I like the smell of marigolds. Wow 2 days!?

[Jananas Bananas]

Hi Gang!

Are we having FUN yet?????

Shoot, I need to go take a couple of pictures. Be back in just a minute or two!

[Willow87]

Hi JaNan! How are you?

[Jananas Bananas]

I'm GREAT Cameron! How are you doing? I'm checking the mailbox every day for Sherry's envelope! I can't wait to see what she has sent me. I know she stuck some secret surprises in there and I am bouncing off the walls!


~J

[Willow87]

Im doing great Janan! I have done the same thing LOL. I look forward to seeing all of the things she sent.

I will go plant more of the pepper seeds to try to get another white one.

[Jananas Bananas]

Tom, are those white sweet bell peppers?

I got a mixed sweet bell pepper packet that showed one on the package. I was wondering if we bought the same thing!

[tbaleno]

Yes, sweet bell peppers. My package was just a small zip bag with a paper label thrown in with instructions on planting them with marker on the outside saying "assorted sweet peppers"

My guess is that they just grabbed seeds from peppers that may have been cross polinated and shoved them in a bag for sale.

You can see them sitting on top of the emily's garden on my webcam

[Jananas Bananas]

Nice set up there! What is your reflector material?

Mine was a commercial package:
