Cindy, thank you so much for making me feel better. I just received the notice this morning that my seeds have been shipped! I don't know where they're coming from, but at least they won't die from the cold. What a relief.

Kidfishing, you reminded me of the tomatoes I grew years ago. They were named Longkeeper, because you grew them late, picked them green, and let them ripen slowly during the winter for fresh sliced tomatoes. They were delicious. Then, towards New Years, you could find tiny green plants inside the tomato. I just dug them out and sliced as usual!

I have an area in an old garden that I'm now reclaiming. I used to call it the nursery. I didn't mulch or pull weeds there, just mowed once in a while. I liked to walk through there and dig up baby hosta, euphorbia, campanula, etc. But never found babies from the only daylilies I owned. Bought probably 15 or 20 years ago. I've found pods with seed in them on a couple of plants. Which I can't remember their name. But, over the years, shouldn't they have grown there, next to their mom?

Another one I bought, which was supposed to be to be Fairy Tale Pink (purchased 2 or 3 times, still don't have it.) flowers a beautiful deep red, but never a pod.

So, what I'm gonna do, when I start hybridizing, like you, Kidfishing, I'm gonna start the seeds right away in pots. Just a few!
I are sooooo smart!
