a few sweet basil seedlings
Buttercups (these spread, but are easy to control)
black-eyed Susan
Missouri primroses (yellow)
zinnia seeds
Persian carpet zinnia seeds (from seedssavers.org)
daffodil bulbs (obviously not ready right now, but in a few weeks)

@figkerl

I can get to your location via bus. I sent you a TreeMail of the plants I'm interested in, if they're still available and to ask for your address.

Thank you!

Glad to read starting pages, always fun to know what people growing!
As you might know we have moved last year and now I have land but no garden yet. Although we tried to move at least part of the garden not sure if we succeeded.
I should be bringing few dozen of tomatoes, thanks to Mone who helped transplant them today.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Piggybacking on Ellen's mention of tomatoes - I am growing 8 varieties this year. It's too late to start more from seed but I can try to root some cuttings if anybody would like. I've indicated the two bush varieties, and I believe the rest are indeterminate varieties.

- Glacier (Bush)
- Roma (Bush)
- Isis Candy
- Rosella
- Sungold
- Sweetie
- Yellow Pear
- Marvel Stripe

And I still have some ground cherry seedlings that I'm hoping somebody will want!

Hi Jasmine,
OK for Lunaria annua, red Monarda, Golden Euonymus
Lamium maculatum I have is green and white.

Would you like to come to take a look at what is in the garden and pick up the plants?
Some tulips are still green but others are about to open. Many other flowers are in bloom as well.

@S_Evans I did a tree mail to you, but I'd like:
fennel
craspedia
and I'm not going to the swap so I could pick up the plants if that works for you. A response via tree mail is good.

thanks!
