WANTED: 'Christmas Wishes' seed lists

greylady_gardener
15 years ago

Hi All! I hope not to be stepping on anyone's toes with this post, but would like to start a 'Christmas Wish' list so that we can maybe get some of our seed wishes granted. I know it is early to be starting but the stores are decorating for Christmas and setting up their merchandise already so why not?! :)

Starting this early will give us time to go through our seeds and decide what our wishes are and to go through our seeds and decide what we have that we can gift to others from their lists.

For anyone not familiar with the concept....

1. think about what you would like to grow next season

2. post your list here so that others can see what you are wishing for.

3. Wait for someone to contact you for your address.(have your e-mail enabled on you member page)

4. Check out the other lists posted here and see if you can grant any of their wishes--(totally voluntary--not mandatory but nice if you can--:)

****You do not have to trade seeds with anyone, or be able to grant anyone elses wishes. It is totally voluntary as to whether you grant a wish.****

This is always fun so join in and let's see those lists!!

If you have any questions, please ask

    Lois,

    LINUX is the answer. Unload that Micro$oft and get a free, open source operating system that won't wreck your computer.

    If Santa is listening, he knows I'm kind of hooked on cosmos this year. Santa knows that I'm wishing for the following:
    Cosmos Brown Flower, Tetra Versailles Red, Bipinnatus Double Click, Gazebo Dwarf Red, Day Dream, Chocolate cosmos, Phillipine, and Happy Ring.

    Claubill,

    Santa just told me he had some Cosmos for you. They are seeds from Daydream grown in one of the elve's gardens and there may be variations since there's a lot of cross pollination going on. If you want some from this elve's private stash, just send me your e-mail and Santa will have a little chat with the elf about being good and sharing. :O)

    Nicole/Tiffy.

    Am I allowed to ask Santa for one more thing?? I know, my Mum warned me about that!! lol! I was wondering if anyone had seeds for Montreal melons??

    Thanks, Nancy - who is waiting for the mailman!!

    Hey Claudette in Sudbury,

    I googled Cosmos "Phillipine" and the only hits were from photos on DG and they sure don't look like Cosmos. They look exactly like a Cosmidium "Philippine", which is a California native wildflower.

    Santa will send you some seeds-- he still has your address from a trade last year.

    Bev

  • claubill

    Hi Bev (bev_w): I already have some cosmidium which someone had sent me last year. They are very pretty and I've saved the seeds. Maybe you were the one that sent them to me. If you did, thank you very much. I really should make a list of what seeds I received from whom.

    G'day all

    I'm Baaaaaaaaack!!!!!!!! It feels like I am starting a new life. I am in a fantastic rental in the "old south" area of London and I have the go-ahead from the landlord to garden..."Little does he know what that means MUAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAAAAA-HAAAAAAAA", says Justine in maniacal form.

    It has taken me a couple of moves, and a couple of years to be ready to "dig-in-da-dirt" again, and here I go again.

    All I want for Christmas are any seeds to make my special garden lush and abundant with beautiful plants and lovely herbs, so whatever Santa has to give this very excited gardener, I will accept with much gratitude! I am planning to do "Winter-sowing" BIG TIME!

    Love to garden, and love to be back on gardenweb!!!!!!!!

    Thanks a bunch,(a bunch of flowers that is),
    and
    of
    course..

    g.g.t.a. that's great gardening to all!

    Sungold OP
    Strawberry popcorn, any popcorn
    Strawberry
    zucchini- a vining variety
    squash- sweet dumpling and buttercup

    I'm also looking to grow some kale, chard, and peas, but I'm not too familiar with their varieties.

    I don't know if Santa is still accepting wishes, but I have been wanting Campanula 'Blue Clips' and any colour of Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris). I have had trades of both and the Blue Clips turned out to be tiny poppies, and the Pasque Flowers never showed. I have been a very good girl!!

    Santa Baby, slip a sable under the tree, For me.
    been an awful good girl, Santa baby,
    so hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Santa baby, a 54 convertible too,
    Light blue.
    I'll wait up for you dear,
    Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Think of all the fun I've missed,
    Think of all the fellas that I haven't kissed,
    Next year I could be just as good,
    If you'll check off my Christmas list,

    Santa baby, I wanna yacht,
    And really that's not a lot,
    Been an angel all year,
    Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Santa honey, there's one thing I really do need,
    The deed
    To a platinum mine,
    Santa honey, so hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Santa cutie, and fill my stocking with a duplex,
    And checks.
    Sign your 'X' on the line,
    Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight.

    Come and trim my Christmas tree,
    With some decorations bought at Tiffany's,
    I really do believe in you,
    Let's see if you believe in me,

    Santa baby, forgot to mention one little thing,
    A ring.
    I don't mean on the phone,
    Santa baby, so hurry down the chimney tonight,
    Hurry down the chimney tonight,
    Hurry, tonight.

    My fave Christmas song!
