Anyone ever grow perriwinkle? I'm looking for something to replace the grass on the front lawn near the street.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I've never grown it, but I have seeds!


I suspect it's fairly easy to grow, Tom.


: )

[tbaleno]

Humm. seeds you say?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, let me go get them...A lady from England sent me them but I forget offhand which color.


On 2nd thought, they could be buried so I'll definitely get back to you tomorrow when I have a chance to look through my seed bin...more like trunk!


I don't wanna wake my little Henry.


Do you wanna grow some Goji berries...Lycium Barbarum? It's a perennial shrub that produces the most nutrient-rich berries on the entire planet! You must have heard about them Tom...the famous Goji berry? I have seeds for them. Soon I will have seeds for many other unusual and cool edible berrying shrubs and some will be dwarf. I'm placing the order this week for them. They'll be coming from Quebec and I've ordered there before. I'll let you guys know which kinds I decide on...


Hope everyone sleeps well. It's around the time that everyone goes to bed so nighty night gang. Sweet dreams!

Of course I couldnt be mad at you Sherry lol. I'll just look for them today or tomorrow. Hopefully I will receive them soon. I have a few containers as preparations and I know where I'm going to put everything =). How is everyone this morning? I'll have to run some errands with my mom today

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yes, I hope they arrive soon too Cam. I've got my fingers crossed.


JaNan, be sure to check out my post in the Hot Pepper-a-holic thread that I'm about to do. You'll be very interested.


Hope you guys have a great day. I'm around, but busy with lots of stuff around here. Let me know if you get those darn seeds today, Cameron...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Oh I would like a couple of Goji berries! You eat them right? Are they sweet?

OK I went to the pepper thread. I just wonder, since I only had five different kinds how they got mixed up. Did the Marble in your AG come out of a fruit or loose? I was just wondering if you noticed any differences in the seeds at the time. At least you know your AG pepper is marble right? Now I am doubting myself. Baaaahhhhh!!!! You will know more than I once it blooms.

I have to leave in a few minutes for a Doctors Appointment, but I will be back this afternoon!

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup, the Goji berries are sweet and taste similar to raisins. I'll surely send ya a few seeds, JaNan.


Yes, the Marble in the A-G were from one of the whole fruits so it's definitely true.


I think the other ones were sown from the loose seeds though. I guess we'll soon find out...

[tbaleno]

I was actually looking at Lycium barbarum plants last night. I didn't know they were the same plant.

the goji berry is sweet ? I saw some plants at home depot they looked like vines. I was currious about them. My problem is im running out of earth lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Yup Goji berries are sweet, Greg.


So Cam, did you get those darn seeds yet?


I got Dean's seeds today too. They took awhile but the postman finally brought them. Not sure if he reads this thread so I'll have to pm him.


I've been busy but thought I'd say hi. I got 30 more boxes today too so I'll be busy packing, but will still find time to chat.


So who's around?


: )

[Willow87]

Hi Sherry, I still havent gotten the seed yet LOL

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Oh that just totally sucks, Cam.


I only just got Dean's seeds today! They took a long time to arrive.


I do find it weird that JaNan got hers but you haven't got yours yet Cam, because you're in the same State. Like I said though, no one has ever just flat out not received my seeds before and I've been doing it for years, so I know they'll be there eventually, but I just wonder what the hold up is.


I know you're disappointed Cam, and so am I. They just better get there soon. I haven't got Olaf's seeds yet and he mailed them before Dean! I guess stuff just arrives when it arrives but sometimes things seem to take forever.


Well, let's hope for tomorrow then. Usually when I mail to the States they get there around the time JaNan's took to arrive, but let's see what tomorrow or Saturday brings...


There are stickers all over the envelope and it's yellow just like JaNan's and I even wrote on the envelope like I do everyone's..."Garden seeds inside, please don't crush". They gotta get there soon. I'm sorry though Cam, that you're waiting forever like this.


: (

[Willow87]

Its alright Sherry, my post office has been known to be slow lol. Hopefully I'll get them tomorrow or Saturday LOL. If not, as long as they are on the way here I can wait for them =)

[Jananas Bananas]

Hi Gang!

Cameron you might call your local post office and tell them you are expecting an envelope from Canada. They might be nice and check on it for you. Or they can be snotty too, but it couldn't hurt.

OK Cam, stop reading now.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





Guess what Sherry? I've got a GROW TAIL on my little MicroTom seed! I'm SOOOOOOOOO excited! Both of the French Vanilla's are standing tall with their cotyledon leaves. I'm a happy camper! I just had to tell you!

~JaNan

[Willow87]

Hi Janan. I may call them to see if they have any info

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I know you're being cool about it Cam, but for crying out loud I mailed them not last Sunday, but the Sunday before!


I'll say they're taking their sweet time.


My mom just went out into the hallway to spray a scented spray because the cigarette smoke from the inconsiderate tenant across the hall (one of the two that assaulted my mom) is so thick you could cut it with a knife!!! While my mom was spraying, she had the nerve to come out of her place and scream "quit spraying the f%&@ing halls...I have asthma"!!!


Now that is hilarious!


Someone who smokes like a chimney, complaining about asthma!!! Although I didn't mean to, I couldn't help but let out a laugh from behind the door and she slammed her door nearly right off the hinges! It really was a gas.


Ok yes, I just read JaNan's advice Cam, and I think that's a good idea. In fact if you didn't get it by Saturday, I was going to call your post office myself and freak out! You'll get it when they hear from me, trust me on that.


Wow JaNan, that's great news about your seedling and sprouts. I'm not surprised to hear how quickly they came up for you in the seed popping machine! I would be thrilled too. No strawberry sprouts in my bathroom window just yet, but it's only a matter of time. I keep the window open a crack so it's nice and cool, just the way strawberry seeds like it.


That's the one seed you can't sprout in the A-G JaNan...strawberry. It's too warm for them, and they stay dormant. Unless you give them a cold-strat in the fridge but it's not necessary and easier just to sow them in soil in a cool area.


Alright, I've rambled long enough.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

I'm taking pictures now to put in the AG thread Sherry! It'll take me a few minutes to get them loaded! ~J

[Willow87]

I know Sherry, I just dont understand why its taking them so long. I'll see if I have something by Saturday lol

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I hope so too Cam. I'm dying to know you got them.


Well it's getting late and I imagine everyone's in bed now? I will be soon. I'm tired now. Sleep well, everyone.
