Charter ATP Member I helped beta test the first seed swap
I have tons of seeds of the morning glories, send me a treemail with your address! They reseed every year, but the seedlings are easy to recognize with their heart shaped leaves. I suppose, they could be a nuisance in warmer climates. They reseed enough to be reliable, but not enough to be a nuisance in my gardens. None have escaped into the wild, but many have been welcomed into friend's gardens. Hummingbirds like them also. There may be a couple of bright eyed girl bright pink seeds in there also. I had combined them on one trellis in the sanity gap garden. They are really pretty together.

They are much easier to pull out than oak trees! I can throw in some acorns or an intact oak tree if you want. I feel guilty pulling out plants, but I really want a cottage garden! I am getting so discouraged lately, but I am not giving up yet.

If anyone else wants purple morning glory seeds, acorns, baby oak trees, ferns, rosa multiflora, black raspberries, basic old fashioned lilacs....let me know. I am constantly keeping them in bounds.

I also have a collection of yellow marigolds. I am the only person on the planet excited about these seeds, it seems. I like to grow marigolds in the gardens, especially by my tomatoes. they draw pollinators and keep all sorts of pests away. They flower nonstop, while the garden divas sulk. I like yellow yellow - not orange yellow. I have big African and small French ones. My neighbor put in flats of short French marigolds with larger than average lemon yellow blooms. I make sure they get deadheaded well. I want to grow some of those next year. I have some "white" marigold seed. My seed starting has been on hold for two winters while I was busy moving. I'll make up for it this year!
