Awww, Julie (@Joolie), that's awful! I'm sure they'll find good homes, but if no one else wants to take them, I would love to have them to give to my school. I think the kids would get a kick out of pink celery--maybe they would actually eat it?

Oh that would be wonderful. So no matter what, they get a home! Yay! I love celery so much, this makes me so mad, haha. Hopefully it's just temporary and I'll be back to mirepoix in no time (oh yeah, I think carrots are off my list too Grumbling )

Till then, to whomever gives these seeds a home: May you find a $20 bill in every old coat pocket, and may your shower temperature always be ideal.

Joolie said: Okay this is going to be a weird seedvertisement, but:

PLEASE RESCUE ME FROM ALLIUMS AND CELERY! 😂

It turns out alliums and celery cause me anaphylaxis, so I've rooted out all my allium and celery seeds and quickly stuffed them into bags and made general estimates about types and amounts. There's one set of full commercial packets, but the majority are previously traded, and I had to limit handling of the packets so I didn't record everything really thoroughly, I just really quickly stuffed them into new bags. Even with that caution, my lips are numb, lol (yes I took medication, I'll be fine).

So, I want to say: I'm sorry for not enough info, but you all are these seeds last hope, because otherwise they go in the garbage and I can't bring myself to do that 😭

Especially *not the pink celery* 😭

So, rescue me from these seeds! Give them a good home, pretty please. I hate to part with them, but no way can I touch them any more than I just did! D'Oh!


I'd love some also. I love any type of onions and Pink Celery sounds awesome! 😍

Okay, you guys, I have to say, I'm REALLY excited about a Pepper seed that I'm offering
BIQUINHO Pepper seeds
Hot Pepper (Capsicum sinense 'Iracema Biquinho')


I wish I had enough seeds for more than one packet (next year, I hope!), but this little pepper, when marinated, tastes AMAZING on pizza. There's a Kroger brand of pizza that apparently uses these little peppers and my family--especially my toddler--LOVES these! We can't give my daughter enough of these, and neither can I, really!
Here is the pizza that has these amazing little peppers on it:

This is a Pole Bean.
I have pretty rare varieties of both Pole & Bush Beans. Giant Red Tarka is a Bush Bean that's prolific and tasty. Should I post that one?

One of my favorites in my veggie garden. Double brocade red marigolds- these are the fullest plants I have seen- this one was about 2.5 across- maybe more! I received a ton of compliments on it at the community garden. Blooming machines!

Let me tell you about the red and yellow hollyhocks I'm listing this year.

THEY GOT RUN OVER BY A TRUCK and they still popped right back up like nothing happened. The majority of everything else that was there let a little cartoon ghost float away from their crushed and compacted grave, even the sweet potato vine!

These guys:

NO PROBLEM. Gorgeous as ever!!

God bless em. The really vigorous vines came back a little (no blooming of course, sigh) but almost everything else just freaking croaked. I cried my eyes out over it because I had so many beautiful vines and flowering shrubs and whatnot. But these hollyhocks made me and the bees happy. 🩷

I'm such a sucker for advertisements 🤣 I'm sold on everything you guys amped up! After buying what creators on youtube recommend, I sometimes realize what is good in one zone may do poorly in another (or I just have a greenish pinky)😂 But there's smthg to be said for tried and true favorites and it's always worth a shot! So thank you for creating this stage Julie because I want to shine a spot light on a very under rated wild flower...

It is a great pollinator supporting wild bees & predatory insects. It's also VERY beneficial medicinally and is beautiful as a cut flower. It stands tall and fills in your cottage garden flower bed as baby's breath does in a vase. It's perennial in zone 5 and blooms all summer. Everytime I walk past it, I have to stop and marvel at the structure & detail of the tiny white flowers that are not at all dainty and delicate but resemble resilience and strength. When the summer heat & drought seems to be drying & frying up everything, this flower almost looks moist!

I will add some more shares of my Wild Quinine just for anyone who wants to give it a shot Thumbs up

@Greenishpinky, that goes RIGHT ON THE WISH LIST. I have only half a ticket left today.

And now, a word from our sponsor: miniature peppers so small that they're parrot sized. My miniature bell peppers grow on a small round bush and produce TONS of sweet delicious peppers.

Niko the gold cap conure recommends these peppers to everybirdie!
