There is a seed exchange on Garden Web, but I thought it would be more fun to swap seeds with people you kind of know already.
Anyone interested? Well, here is a list of what I have, that I am not already planning to use next year. Keep in mind that some are full unopened commercial packs (CP), some are partial packs (PP), some are things I received from trades (T), and a couple are things that I harvested myself (F = fresh). HAVE:
Coreopsis 'Mahogany Midget' PP
Perennials: Aquilegia chrysantha T
Vegetables: Asparagus officinales T
WANT: Zinnia 'Profusion Apricot'
If you are interested in anything I have listed, or have something you think I may want (please feel free to tempt me), either post it here, or email me through my member page. All I ask is that you include enough postage on the envelope to cover the cost of mailing it to you. Just thought this would be a fun way to get rid of seeds you aren't using, and maybe try something new that you wouldn't otherwise. Bonnie

One more thing. I just collected a TON of marigold seeds today. Their called 'Queen Sophia'. It's and orange & red variety. I also have a yellow one, that I will try and harvest too. - Bonnie |
I would love to do a seed exchange. I have a lot of flower seeds, both annual and perennial, but I do not have many veggie seeds. I will have a complete list in a month or so because a lot of my seeds are from last year so Im not sure about viability and I havent purchased spring seeds yet. I will keep an eye out and try to get a list posted when I have all my seeds accounted for. |

Azura, most of my commercially packaged seeds are 2007, but the trades are mostly things harvested in 2006. If it is something I'm interested in, I don't mind if the seed is from last year. I'll just sow heavily to make up for the decreased germination rate. Steve, I don't think these Marigolds are French. They are called 'Safari Primrose' and are about 10" tall. I bought the seeds at Lowe's. I'm still waiting for the seeds to ripen, and thought I missed my chance, since the last two nights have been below freezing. Fortunately, the floating row cover was enough to buy them some more time. It didn't save the pepper plants or basil, but at least I harvested all of the peppers Saturday, and strung them up in the garage. They are still completely green though. Will they ripen in the garage? Your list is a little too purple for me, Steve, LOL! But I am sure someone will be along to snatch up those pretty Lavateras. Bonnie |
Bonnie, Funny observation -- I've started to notice that most of the flowers I like (and buy) are purple and about 3 feet tall! I'm trying to diversify in height and color these days. Yellow is another color I probably overdo. But I am going to completely redo a long, narrow flowerbed that surrounds two sides of my back lawn. I'm going to make it mostly an annual bed, and I could use some of those Safari Primrose marigolds if we can work out something to trade! BTW, I googled it, and it is a French marigold. I like those small marigold plants -- I just wanted to be sure it wasn't the real tall kind with ball-shaped heads. |

I have a lot of open-pollinated/heirloom tomato seeds to offer that I saved myself and a few hybrids from purchased seed. I may have some pepper seeds to. Many of them have performed well for me, and some of them aren't widely available commercially yet. I would also be open to a SASE offer for those who don't have anything to trade. I definitely need some more flowers to round out my garden/yard! I don't do anything special like bag the blossoms to prevent I'll get a list up by the weekend hopefully. Stevation, I could probably trade actual plants with you in the Spring as I always have extra. Tyffanie |
Stevation- Your lavatera is absolutely gorgeous! I would love to do a trade with you and I hope you will be tempted by something I have. Bonnie- The safari marigolds also look gorgeous and if you have enough to share they would be the perfect addition to a red-orange-yellow bed I am planning for next year. I snatched some seeds from a similar marigold at a park about a month ago but their color pattern was not as intense as the photos Ive googled of Safari. I'm being very naughty even peaking at the forum today, I have two midterms and a book review due this week so shhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone you saw this post! I will get my seed box in front of me and post my list next week, I promise. |

Steve, I guess the name 'Safari Primrose' was throwing me off. I was thinking African, not French, LOL! I hope that I am able to collect the seeds before a hard freeze does them in. If not, I didn't sow the whole package, so maybe I can send you some of what is left. Tyfannie, I am looking forward to your list, since I am looking for tomatoes and peppers. Let me know if there is anything on my list that interests you. Azura, good luck on those exams, and I am looking forward to your list too! Bonnie |
Bonnie, my neighbor has some marigolds that look a lot like the Safari ones I googled. She had a few seed heads that looked completely dry and brown, so I pulled the seeds out and took them home. But how can I tell if they're really good? The seeds look and feel awfully flimsy, so I'm not sure there's a real "germ" inside of them. I suppose I could test a few and see if they sprout in a moist paper towel inside a ziploc bag. Is there any secret to knowing when these seeds are really ripe? Also, these plants were mingled with other marigolds that aren't the kind I'd want, so I'm wondering if they easily hybridize with other marigold varieties and might not produce what I'm looking for. |

Steve, here is a link that might be helpful, basically if you have to tug to get them out of the seedhead they are probably not ready. One other word of caution. You may want to leave them on a plate or something, outside in the sun for a little while, otherwise you may find tiny little bugs crawling out of the seeds in your home. Not sure about the cross pollination. |
Here is a link that might be useful: When are seeds ready to harvest

Just wanted to add to my list of freshly harvested seeds, Agastache 'Apache Sunset'. These were kind of fun to harvest. When the tubular part of the flower (forgive my lack of proper botanical terminology) falls off, there is a little upward facing cup left on the stem. All I had to do was bend the stems over a bit, and shake them with a plastic container underneath, and all the ripe seeds just fell right out. Bonnie |
- Posted by highalttransplant z 4/5 CO (My Page) on Thu, Oct 11, 07 at 18:08
Another side to the gardening addiction ... harvesting seeds! Adding Penstemon pinifolius 'Compactum', to my list of freshly collected seeds. It's a dwarf red penstemon. I was getting kind of sad to see summer end, but now with so many plants going to seed, there's still fun to be had out there! Bonnie |
Here is a link that might be useful: Penstemon pinifolius 'Compactum'
Here's my list. And Bonnie, you're right, it is addicting collecting seeds. I have to go out and get more Morning Glory seeds. Not 'cause I need them, but because it's so fun to squeeze those little pods and have those beautiful, black seeds drop into my hands! It's also fun to go through your lists and look up the plants I don't recognize. But I don't have any more flower bed space until we get rid of more lawn, so it seems a bit greedy to ask for any seeds. But maybe some of those Lavatera from Steve, they are pretty! Flowers: Red Gerbera Daisy collected Cosmos "Cosmic Orange" collected & open packet Marigold collected Morning glory (purple with pink bars) collected Morning glory "Crimson Rambler" collected Cosmos "Single Sensation Mixed Colors" unopened packet 2006 "Black" Tomato collected Carrots "Touchon" open packet Melon "French Orange" open packet Lettuce "Anuenue" (organic) open packet Acorn squash "Table Queen" open packet Cucumber "Diva" unopened packet Sweet corn "Painted Mountain Organic" open packet Peas "Sugar Sprint" open packet Garden beans "Oregon 54" open packet Turnip "Purple top white globe" (organic) open packet Potato "Zolushka Hybrid" open packet |

Well, since no one has requested anything my list so far, I harvested a couple more things to tempt you! Coreopsis grandiflora 'Sunburst' and Dianthus knappii Alice, "if you grow them, the space will come" LOL! I don't really have any bed space left either, but I just keep buying more containers until I can dig up some more sod. BTW, how tall do those Gerbera daisies get? Bonnie |
I had no idea just how many seeds I have. Wow, its an addiction! I am working on my list and I will post it soon. Ive been hoarding seeds for 2 years now and its time to share the wealth. Bonnie- I dont have a lot of tomato or pepper seeds but I will keep an eye out for some. I would love some of your Penstemon pinifolius 'Compactum'. Does anyone else have anything specific they are looking for? |
Bonnie, the gerbera is about 12" tall (to the flower heads). It's as true a red as you can get I think. Not a drop of pink in it!! I have it growing in a container. (That's the only way I've ever grown gerberas). Don't know if it would get bigger in the ground. |
- Posted by highalttransplant z 4/5 CO (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 07 at 13:52
Alice, I think I have the perfect spot for those daisies! If you would email me your address through my member page, I will send you a SASE, along with any seeds off my list that interest you. Thanks for sharing, |
- Posted by highalttransplant z 4/5 CO (My Page) on Thu, Oct 18, 07 at 15:36
Azura, I am setting the Penstemon seeds aside for you, and will see what you have on your list that I would like. Bonnie |
P = commercial package M = I gathered them myself T = Trade 6 = 2006 7 = 2007 Un-veggies
I have tons of mixed cosmo and marigold seeds. The cosmos are sensation and sonata mixed several generations ago. They are bright pink, light pink, white and "red". The marigolds are African and French that have intermingled for many generations. Their colors are bright yellow to hurt-your-eyes orange. |
- Posted by highalttransplant z 4/5 CO (My Page) on Sun, Oct 21, 07 at 16:23
Azura, I would love to have some of the Portulaca 'Sun Dial Peach'. I am also interested in the Helenium 'Moorheim Beauty', and I realize that it's a hybrid, so there is no guarantee, but I wonder what the parentage is, what it would revert back to? No peppers or tomatoes? : ( Email me your address through my member page, and I will send you the penstemon seeds, along with anything else you are interested in, and a SASE. Thank you for taking the time to participate. I think trading seeds is so much fun. It's like baseball cards for grown ups, LOL! Bonnie |

First, I want to thank Steve, Alice, and Jill for participating in the seed exchange! I hope everyone is happy with their trades, and enjoyed participating as much as I did. There is a project on the Winter Sowing forum, where they send out seeds to people who are trying wintersowing for the first time. I plan to send whatever I have leftover to them, but I wanted to be sure that everyone on this forum had the opportunity to pick first. So I guess this is like a "last call". Thanks, Bonnie |
Thanks Bonnie for starting this. I'm really getting addicted to seed collecting. I collected a few seeds from my Gazanias, which are probably my favorite flower planted this year. I love their sunny flowers, and they're still blooming! I would have put them on the exchange, but I'm a little greedy, most of the summer I deadheaded the flowers, but now I'm letting them go to seed, and they don't seem to produce that much seed. But next year when I have a lot more I'll have these seeds to exchange. They are just the sunniest, happiest little flower I have ever seen! |
I got some good stuff from Bonnie -- thanks! Yours just went in the mail today. Anyone interested in those Lavatera seeds? I REALLY like these flowers, and they are quite unique. I'm willing to send some seeds out to a few folks even if you don't have something I want in trade. Perhaps I should ask for a SASE, but if it's a few people, I don't mind using my own envelopes and postage! |
Ok, Stevation, I'll take some of those Lavatera to replace my Mexican Primrose! If you'll mail me your address through my member page I'll be happy to send you an SASE. We have an old stampl collection that's worthless for anything, but supplying us with free postage! |
Hey Alice, I sent you the private message with my address. You should know that these Lavatera are much taller than evening primrose, but not as tall as some Lavateras can be. These are about 2 1/2 feet tall. Very nice, long bloomers. I think you'll like them. |
Steve, I really, really want some of your Lavatera seed, but I haven't had time to come up with a list of the things I have to swap, and I didn't want to ask for some until I had time to post my list. (I'm really glad you have some left!) Please save some for me! I'm off this week so I should be able to list what I have by mid-week for sure. If you still have some, I'd be interested in some of the Iceland poppy seed too. Bonnie, I'd be interested in some of your Agastache 'Apache Sunset' too. And if you were able to get seed from the 'Safari Primrose' marigolds, I like them too. Azura, I'm interested in some of your 'Moerheim Beauty', and maybe some of your blue flax—but I got a couple small blue flax plants from somebody at the Spring Swap, and if the "somebody" was you, I already have some. Was what you had at the swap 'Appar'? (Also, the blue-eyed grass I got from you at the Spring Swap is doing great! No flowers this year, but I can hardly wait to see them bloom next year. I LOVE Sisyrinchium!) I'll be back with my list! If anybody wants to contact me and doesn't have my "real" email address from the swaps, email me at email@example.com. Skybird P.S. PM's don't work for me on GW, so don't PM me and wonder why I don't answer you! |
Bonnie- I got your seeds, thank you for your generousity. I sent you an email and I'm sending out your seeds tomorrow! Steve (Stevation)- Skybird- |
- Posted by highalttransplant z 4/5 CO (My Page) on Mon, Nov 5, 07 at 21:53
Skybird, You're in luck! I sent most of my leftover seeds out to the folks on the Winter Sowing forum for their free packs for newbies, but I saved the Agastache and the 'Safari Primrose' marigolds, because I am going to use some of them for myself. There's enough to send you some though, but I am holding them ransom until I see your list, LOL! Thanks Azura! I'll keep my eye out for them. Isn't it nice to get something in the mail that isn't a bill, or junkmail??? Hey Alice, which Gazania do you have? I ordered the Gazania 'Sunshine Mix' a few weeks ago, but Jung's decided to sub 'Daybreak Hybrids Mix' without asking. There is a bronze one that I would love to have. What colors are yours? Bonnie |
First, Azura, I sent you an email from my real address, so watch for it just in case it goes to your spam box. I don't think I need any of the flax seed, then. I'm not sure how many of your little plants I got at the Spring Swap, but I put them together into 2 little plants that are going to be pretty nice next year. Besides cutting them down when I planted them, when they started growing back, they were getting too floppy for my liking, so I cut them down a second time to get them bushier and in hopes that they wouldn't flop so much when they became a little more established. So I didn't get any flowers on them this year, but—especially now that it's cooled—they're coming back really nicely, and will be small, but nice full, really good looking plants next year. It's gonna be a loooong wait till next spring! Glad to hear you have an 8 year old to help you with your gardening! LOL I love it when kids are interested in gardening! But if your son likes the yellow "little pine trees," didn't you get any of the blue spruce sedum. They look even more like little pine trees since they're blue spruce green. If you didn't get any, I'll have to get you some at the Spring Swap! And if he likes sedum, I can make sure you get some of whichever ones you haven't gotten so far—and maybe some hen & chicks. Bet he'd love those! I'm gonna take pictures of mine this year when they're wearing their winter colors. And if he hasn't tried rooting the sedum cuttings, I bet he'd have fun doing that too! I won't have a verdict on the Nicandra until next spring! I think I got most of the seed pods cut off before they dropped any seed. There are still seedheads on the (frozen) plant that's out there—hope to get that and the other few annuals I have around here cleaned up this week—the weather is supposed to be beautiful. And the seedheads seem to maintain their shape even after they drop their seeds, so I'm gonna save them for possible dried arrangements—if I ever find time to get back to doing that! Just not enough hours/days/weeks............... But I decided I absolutely love the Nicandra! And I have a kazillion seeds to send to anybody who'd like to try it. I still can hardly believe what it "grew into" considering it took me so long to get it into the ground that it was dying in the pot—and I was really pretty sure it was going to die the rest of the way after I transplanted it. But from what you saw at the swap, it not only grew (fast), but it THRIVED! It was over 5' tall when it froze, and so big that it was hard to get by on the path even with all the tying back I had done. Next year I'm gonna plant (probably just some seed) in the 12" of soil between the air conditioner and the house at the back end of the veggie garden—if you happened to check out that area at the swap. I've tried growing sunflowers in there a couple times, and haven't been able to get them going. I have a feeling the Nicandra will grow pretty much anywhere, and it'll be really nice to finally have something in that little space to pretty it up! Thank you for introducing me to Nicandra! I'll post my list of seeds in the next couple days, |
Give me a couple days to see what kind of ransom I can come up with, High! :-) |
Hey Azura, the Blue-eyed grass seeds would be a good trade. And maybe just a small quantity of the Thai Dragon if you are willing to throw them in! Don't know if I can handle those peppers, but my brother-in-law claims to be the king of hot peppers. This just might show him up! :-) I'll send you a PM with my address. Is there anything else on my list you want? And Skybird, I'll be happy to send you some Lavatera, too -- I have so many of those seeds I don't know what I could possibly do with all of them! I'm like the Johnny Appleseed of Lavateras. I'll look for your list soon, because I'm sure you'll have something interesting. Think low heights, in purple-lavender-blue colors or pinks-to-reds. Or interesting foliage that isn't too tall. |
And here are the other seeds that were left here after the swap—that I'm not keeping for myself! Here's what I have left from the seeds Cnetter gave me for the swap: Penstemon strictus, Rocky Mountain Penstemon, 24" X 24", Full sun, lavender, Jun-Jul, z4, evergreen, xeric, Colorado native (I have a few of these that are mine too, but I have a whole bunch left still from Cnetter) Mexican hat, I assume Ratibida columnifera v. pulcherrima, maroon & yellow flowers, CO native, reseeds Red & white Papaver somniferum, (opium/breadseed poppies) Danish Flag (refining instructions not included!) Tall generic gaillardia And these are the seeds that were left by others! (I'm listing everything I know about them—can't answer questions!) PERENNIALS: Aquilegia, white columbine (if this was grown near other columbine, it could have crossed!) - 2 packs Small lavender iris - 1 pack Mixed poppies! - 1 pack - lots of seed Gaillardia - unknown variety! - 1 pack Alpine Wildflowers - partial commercial pack - '97 Aquilegia 'Pink Bonnets' - full commercial pack - I think '05 ANNUALS: Eyeball plant, peek-a-boo plant - yellow ball shaped blooms w/red center, reseeds, 12" tall - 1 pack Nicotiana - white - 1 pack Red poppy, Papaver rhoeas - full commercial pack - '07 Marigold - original plant 'Janie Flame' - 2 packs VEGGIES & HERBS: Radish 'Sparkler' - full commercial pack - '07 Garlic chives - part commercial pack - '00 Chives - part commercial pack - '93 Thyme - part commercial pack - '90 something Oregano - part commercial pack - '93 Marjoram - part commercial pack - '93 Mammoth dill - part commercial pack - '93 Catnip - part commercial pack - '93 Sweet basil - part commercial pack - '93 Thyme - part commercial pack - '99 Sage (picture looks like ordinary garden sage!) - part commercial pack - '99 One more time! Don't PM me thru GW—it won't work! Use the address in the above post to contact me! All seeds are available for a SASE—just let me know if you're interested! Skybird |
- Posted by highalttransplant z 4/5 CO (My Page) on Tue, Nov 6, 07 at 10:54
Thank you, Skybird for posting that list! I know that took some time. Hmmmm... I am interested in the Blackberry Lily. When I clicked on the photos, I realized that the foliage I was seeing was from something else, since I found one in your album that showed the whole plant. I can't for the life of me figure out where I have two feet to put another plant, but I want it anyway, LOL. (sounds like an excuse for more lawn removal) How long does it take to reach that width? I could also use some chives, since mine were a bust this year, but I would love some tips to help me be more successful with them next year. Your talking to someone who can kill mint!!! Bonnie |
Skybird, I'd love some seeds for the Callirhoe and the Belamcanda. Do you want anything else of mine to make it a fair trade (more than just the Lavatera)? I'll send you an email with my address. And just so everyone knows -- Malva sylvestris is VERY INVASIVE. So, in defense of my nice, polite Lavateras, please don't say they're equivalent to that thug! :-) Seriously, I've been trying to wipe out Malva sylvestris from my front flowerbeds for the past two seasons. It's a lot like Mexican Evening Primrose, in my mind! Pretty, but takes over the world. You really might not like it in your very carefully tended garden, Skybird. |
Is that all you guys want??? I'm trying to get rid of seed here, guys! I'm not worried about an "even" trade! Just want to send as much seed to folks as I can! You probably found this picture, Bonnie, but the Blackberry Lily foliage is like iris foliage, but it isn't just basal—it grows out of the stem most of the way up to the flowers (There's another shot of the whole plant 3 frames back.) Timewise, Bonnie, mine in the picture was put in as a tiny, tiny, tiny little division I got in that one-and-only, off-RMG trade I did, about 2˝ years ago. Last year it had some flowers, but this was the first year it's looked pretty good—and it is finally starting to actively spread out at the base. Next year it should be really good, but I need to move it because the foliage is too similar to the hardy pampas grass next to it. From seed I think it would be at least 3 years before you'd have a "nice" plant. I'll send a pack of the chive seed I harvested this year, and I'll also stick in the two partial packs of commercial seed I have from the swap (regular and garlic). For starting it, I recommend you do two things! First, sow some directly in the ground outside where you want it to grow. I'm almost certain it'll come up for you next spring, and I'm guessing it'll already have a root system established by the time you actually see it. Sow at least a dozen seeds all in the same place—and be sure you mark where it is so you don't accidentally dig into it before it's visible. I wasn't paying any attention to mine when it was developing seed, and I (uncomfortably) suspect I'm going to have a whole bunch of new plants coming up in the area of mine next spring—which means I'll have a bunch of them for the Spring Swap too. Then I'd also recommend you start a dozen or so seeds in a small pot inside right now and keep them on a sunny windowsill over winter. When they get big enough, you can cut and use them over winter, and, if you want to, you can also plant that one outside in spring—and since it'll have a well developed root system by then, you shouldn't have any problem with it. But be forewarned! Once you get them started, you're going to have LOTS of them! Steve, a pack of the Belamcanda seeds are yours! In the pictures you're actually looking at the seeds you're going to be getting (both of you!)—they're still on the plant. I usually put my seeds in tiny zipper baggies, but with these I think I'll but them in a small paper envelope since I'm sure there's still moisture in them. If you don't sow them immediately, I recommend you put them in a plastic bag once you're sure they're all the way dry. I think I'd also recommend sowing some of these directly outside now, like I did for the chives above, and keep some to start early next spring. I always like the idea of direct sowing outside since the seeds are exposed to the natural conditions they would be if human beings weren't in the picture. But, having said that, I just found this info for germinating Belamcanda on the Tom Clothier site: >>>Surface sow at 20şC (68şF) in light under constant humidity, germination slow <<< So for any you sow inside, keep them on the surface or cover VERY shallowly (outdoors too), and don't expect great things to be happening quickly! I've never grown them from seed! I have plenty of the Callirhoe seed this year, so I'll send enough that you can direct sow in several different places—I recommend 6-12 seeds in each spot since germination is so irregular. By sowing directly outside, they'll be naturally stratified so you won't have to mess with it inside. I know they will come up naturally outside, 'cause at Paulino's, we had volunteers coming up around the one we had in one of the display gardens—tho there were never a lot of them—and it's not going to be invasive by reseeding. I've never had a volunteer come up, but I wish I would, 'cause I'd love to have a seedling to dig up to move somewhere else. It really doesn't work for me where I have it because there simply isn't room enough and I'm constantly cutting it back, so it never really achieves its full potential. Just a warning! If you try to start some of them inside, be prepared to wait months! The girl who used to start the seeds at Paulino's tried to start some of the seed we collected, inside one year (ideal conditions), and, even after stratifying in the fridge (or freezer—not sure), the germination was VERY slow and VERY irregular, and we finally decided it just wasn't worth the time and effort and went back to buying plugs! I've looked over your list, Steve, and there's really nothing else I can use. You guys wouldn't believe how many seeds I already have around here! (I might need to buy the house directly behind me, tear it down, and use the property to extend my back yard! The property is higher than mine, and if it were all in flowers, it would be a BEAUTIFUL view!!!) And most of the things I'm still looking for are VERY specific things! I do want a Salvia, but I want 'May Night'. I want more of the Iberis sempervirens, but there's a light pink one I want rather than more white, and I want a 'White Swap' Echinacea, but even if you had seed from that, it probably would have crossed and would wind up being the dominant purple! And I want a dwarf Gaillardia—preferably 'Fanfare', but it probably wouldn't come true from collected seed. I want a different Russian sage than I have, but I want 'Longin'. Etc., etc., etc......... So I don't see anything else I can use right now (until I tear that house behind me down!). I did kind of think about the annual larkspur. Not sure where I'll put them, but you could stick in a few of those seeds. How tall does it get? And if anybody has any, I would like to try Oenothera missouriensis—or any of the other Oenotheras (yellow or white) except the O. speciosa, Mexican Evening Primrose! I think they're really pretty, but I thought they were all invasive to some extent! And can't I talk you guys into taking more of the seed I have!?? The whole point is to get rid of some of the seed I've collected—or I'm going to wind up storing it into perpetuity—like I'm doing with all the rest of the seed I've bought and collected over the last 30 years!!! HELP ME! Request some of my seeds! Sometimes I feel like I've got "Trouble with Tribbles," except my Tribbles are seed packets! They're alive! And they're multiplying! So if you're reading this and you don't have anything to trade, REMEMBER, all of my seed is available for a SASE. If there's something you want, that's a whole lot cheaper than ordering from a catalog and paying a couple bucks for the packet, plus the "shipping and handling!" I don't charge for "handling!" (as a matter of fact I rather enjoy handling them!) And I don't charge for the seeds either! Oh, BTW, Steve, my reference to the Malva being similar to the Lavatera was about the form of the plant, but I didn't actually know that the "Zabrina' would be that invasive. Is it just the reseeding that's a problem? It doesn't spread underground, does it? Here's some pictures! You can see why I like it so much! Please provide a new home for some of my seeds! They NEED you! Skybird |
I didn't know Zabrina was invasive either. I have one, but I didn't plant it. I have no idea where it came from, but so far it's just stayed at one plant. I've only had it for a couple of years. Maybe the fact that it showed up out of nowhere is a hint I shouldn't trust it. Darn, it's so pretty. And I collected seeds from it too. |
Skybird, I would love some Cyclamen and Anise Hyssop seeds, please. I would also like some of the Danish flag, I promise not to refine them ;) Thank you for offering your extras to a good home. |
Wow! I seem to have missed several posts in this thread, so here goes some responses - not in order of importance ;) Stevation, I'm not sure how to get to the PM's. Maybe I have a problem like Skybird. Why don't you email me directly at email@example.com? Bonnie, no name at all on my gazanias. I think I got them at Kmart. They are a mix - my favs are a darker yellow, almost marigold orange with a dark stripe down the middle of the petal. The flowers are just perfectly shaped. I'm sorry I don't have a picture of them for you. I'll be sure to take pictures next year and collect a lot more seed - then if you like, I'll send you some. Dee, I have no idea where I will put it, but I'd really love some of the "Disco Belle Pink". That is absolutely gorgeous! I'll email you shortly. Could you tell me the name of the plant that's shown in front of it in your album? It's the airy one with the tiny pink flowers growing off the long stems. I had one of these in Seattle, loved it, tried to bring it with me, but it didn't survive. I'd love to buy another if I knew what it was! I'll also take some of the Zabrina. I know, you're all shaking your heads. But is is so cute. And if Cnetter says it's ok... And Dee, I planted 3 May Night Salvias this year. So if all goes well, maybe you can coach me next year on getting some seed or cuttings for you. |

Skybird, I don't have Gaillardia 'Fanfare', but I did harvest some 'Goblin' seeds the other day, if you want some of those. I'm sure I will find somewhere to put that Blackberry Lily. I was just out there this morning removing more sod from around those tiny mums in the little island bed. I told DH that they were going to get big and that I needed to expand that circle, but the "real" plan is to add another layer. Today, I put in three 'Stella de Oro's and I think I will plant a red Geum in between them, or Euphorbia 'Bonfire'. Eventually, that whole corner of the yard will be one big bed. Shhhhhh... don't tell my hubby, LOL. Let me know about the Gaillardia, and I will get your seeds on the way. Bonnie |
Alice, I'm not sure Zabrina is OK yet - it's only been there two years. Steve has me seriously rethinking it. |
Ok, guys, I'm gonna post to each one of you individually just to be sure I've got this all right! If I have anything wrong—giving or getting—please let me know. And don't any of you want any other of my seeds? If I'm sending something anyway, it's easy enough to stick in a couple extra packets. And since the seed is all fresh, it should be good for at least a few years if you don't get around to starting it now. I have email addresses for all four of you, and I'll send you my snail mail address later tonite. I'm going to send the exact same thing I post on RMG to your email addressses in a little while. Skybird |
Bonnie, I have you down for getting Belamcanda, and Chives—I'll send my fresh seed and the 2 partial packets of commercial seed left from the swap. If you'd like to try mint again, I have an unopened commercial pack of Peppermint seed ('96) I can send. Being mint I can almost guarantee the seed will be viable enough for you to get a good start. It's another one where you could sow some of it directly outside now, and start more in a pot sometime during the winter. You just have to promise not to send a hit man after me when it takes over your yard! And I have you down for sending me Agastache 'Apache Sunset', Marigold 'Safari Primrose', and, yes, go ahead and send a few 'Goblin' seeds along too. Actually, 'Fanfare' was a sport of 'Goblin' to begin with—it wasn't unusual for me to see a 'Goblin' that looked like 'Fanfare' when I was selling them—I always called them the "pretty ones," and then somebody isolated it, renamed it, and made a fortune on it! And——I won't say anything to your husband (he might confiscate our shovel!), but you have WAY too much grass out there! Some of it DEFINITELY needs to go away—mysteriously! I know I have your mailing address, but I don't have a clue where it is right now. Could you please send it to me again and I'll make sure it gets in my address book this time. Thanks, |
Steve, I have you down for getting Callirhoe, and Belamcanda, and sending to me Lavatera, Iceland poppy, and annual larkspur. Are you sure you don't want anything else? You have a BIG yard! How about some of the Hibiscus? |
Azura, I have you down for getting Cyclamen, anise hyssop, and Red & white opium poppies, and sending to me 'Moorheim Beauty'. Are you SURE you don't want anything else? I need your mailing address to send the stuff out. I'll send you mine from my "real" email addy later tonite, and you can send me yours back to that address. Skybird |
Skybird, I got some big Hibiscus moscheutos last winter from a trade, and I had more than enough of them to plant in my garden this year. It was hard to think of where to put such over-the-top massive flowers! But I appreciate your offer. I'll be happy with the Callirhoe and Belamcanda. I got your address in the email today, so I'll send those three you wanted this week. Alice, I just sent you an email so you'll have my address for that SASE. I did try it through the link here on GW, but you must not have gotten that. And as for Malva sylvestris, the variety I have is not Zebrina, but it is another variety of the same species, so I'm pretty sure it will have similar characteristics. |
Hey guys I used the automated postal center to mail out my seeds and it didn't charge enough postage somehow. If your seeds showed up at your house with postage due, I'm sorry and I can send you stamps to make up for it. Please let me know here or in email if I can send you extra stamps or if you didnt get your seeds from me at all for whatever reason. Skybird, your seeds got returned to me with postage due so I will resend it on Monday. Its embarrassing and irritating since the automated postal computer should calculate these things correctly. I went back and asked a real person and got a 5 minute lecture on envelope thickness. I'm so sorry and please let me know! |
I got the seeds you sent, Azura. No problems here! And hey, my brother-in-law was very happy that I'm going to share some of those Thai red dragons with him. |

I would love your popcorn strawberry seeds, and you posted at just the right time! I have some banana pepper seeds, the banana peppers aren't too spicy and they produce these cute, little, banana shaped peppers! |

My Knockout Rose is turning black at the base and dying! Over time, the black creeps up the stem until it kills that branch. What gives??? We're at a new house and double dug the bed. It's on a soaker hose.
The pictures with the pink background are the rose problems. |

I don't know about your area, but out here in SoCal, new housing is commonly surrounded by fill dirt from ??? I think an analysis of the soil might be in order. Jeri |
I can't see the picture really well, but do you have mulch touching the canes? |
And how often and how much are you watering? Roses need to be watered longer and less often, not for short periods every day. You can measure the amount by placing the soaker hose in a bucket and leaving it the time that you usually leave the soaker running. |

I believe mulch does touch the canes (washes back after rain) My husband waters it every day on a soaker hose and timer. Bed was solid clay, double dug then replace with mix of local topsoil and potting mix. |
Another problem may bea late freeze. After a rose breaks winter dormancy and the juices start to flow, it can be very vulnerable to late freezes. The freeze can kill the cane but sometimes it takes weeks for the full damage to show.And, I am beginning to think, having a lot of rain just before such a freeze makes it worse, perhaps because the plant and/or its roots are holding more water which then freezes. A lot of people have experienced a lot of dieback, cankers and black canes this year. The weather patterns have been bizarre. |

Three Jailed After Young Father Killed
Three men convicted in connection with the death of young father Jonathan Turner have been jailed.
One was found guilty of murder, one of manslaughter and the third of violent disorder.
Three men convicted in connection with the death of young father Jonathan Turner have been jailed.
One was found guilty of murder, one of manslaughter and the third of violent disorder.
After the jailing of three men over the killing of Jonathan Turner, a 27-year-old father of a young daughter, his family issued a statement.
Jonathan's parents Russell and Margaret and his sister Rachel, said: "Jonathan, known affectionately as 'Tonner', was a much loved young man with a cheeky disposition and a smile for everyone he met.
He was a wonderful, fun-loving daddy, son and brother. When he was killed our family changed forever."Jonathan had high hopes for his future. He worked as a roofer but was also studying to become a quantity surveyor.
"Family and friends were extremely important to him. He was loyal to each and every one of them.
"A Facebook page in his memory demonstrates the affection so many had for him and how much he will be missed.
"All our son wanted was to work hard and provide for his adorable daughter Maisie.
"Instead, as a consequence of the violent action of strangers, she will now grow up without a daddy.
"We were there when our beloved son was born and we were there when he died.
"No parent should have to go through that, and we cannot express how difficult it is to have to tell a little girl that she will never see her daddy again."
A cold and mostly dry day, with wintry showers becoming more confined to coasts. Brisk winds, especially near coasts.
A mostly dry day with sunny spells. Wintry showers from late afternoon in the west and north, perhaps falling as snow to lower levels.
Isolated wintry showers perhaps giving further, mainly slight, snow accumulations inland.

More reviews by Happpyarrogance
Ive been looking for a nice cleanser for my inflamed, irritated, dull looking skin, not soft either anymore as of late. Got a sample of this from sephora and after one night of using it my face really felt much happier that same night. The irritation went down and it once again became soft again. Cant wait to buy the big bottle of this.
Purity made simple for those who dont know the philosophy line is a daily facial wash, that is meant to be used morning and night. Its has a consistency of a thick milky white liquid with a very faint smell of rose. This cleaner is used to remove dirt, oil, and makeup while using many natural ingredients including- sodium lauroamphoacetate (cleanses); meadowfoam-seed oil (moisturizes); rosewood, sandalwood, and sage oils (soften and soothe).
Purity Made Simple has been awarded 'Reader's Choice' by Allure Magazine every year since 2008. Consumers (NOT ME) like how it foams up quickly to whisk away makeup, unclog pores, and leave skin feeling velvety.
Everytime I see this in Allure, listen to my mom rant and rave about everything philosophy, or read these outstanding reviews- I wonder if they are talking about the same product as me? I wouldn't say its the worst cleaner I have used... but I wont be buying it anytime in the near future. First, I cant stand the smell. Its a very light rose scent, but I really dislike it and cant seem to get it out of my nose after its all rinsed off. I used it for a week- in the morning before i applied my lotions and makeup, and in the shower before bed. I found that it made my skin oily. This was very surprising because the cleaner itself is so gentle, it reminds me of washing your face old school with a good bar of soap. Those with dry skin may really like this, as it does TOO GOOD of a job moisturizing (at least in my opinion). Another thing I dislike is the price. You can spend up to $40 on a bottle of this. Just because its got natural ingredients thus the 'purity made simple' and has the brand name philosophy on it, doesnt make it worth the price. I will spend $2 on a bar of soap and get the same results (and I wont have to worry about a headache from the floral mess in their formula). My mom really enjoys this product, she has combination skin and is a bit sensitive to cleaners that have harsh properties in the formula. She swears by it, and will lay down the money no questions asked. The only positive feedback I can give for this wash, is the ease of washing off my makeup at night with it. It would get everything off- from my heavy foundation to the waterproof mascara. I think it was because of the oils in the formula- the same ones that make my face shiny and gross. I also have to add, I dont mind when a product has oils in it, and makes my face SEEM like its oily- just because of how well it seals in moisture... I do have a problem with face looking shiny, feeling shiny... getting little break outs where I never in my life have broken out before! Not cool. If you do decide you want to try this wash that EVERYONE seems to love (according to Allure), go to your local sephora (not your department stores, because they wont be as generous) and ask for a sample, tell them you want to try it out before you decide to spend the money. They have mini travel sized samples they will give out to sample beforehand! Sephora is very generous with their samples, so I would go there first (if you are able) before going to Ulta or a department store! You may end up loving it, or you may be like me and find that it makes you oily and doesnt clean anything except the makeup on your face!
I am going to keep checking back on here because i am curious to see how people respond to this cleaner in the summer, when our skin is generally more oily than it normally would be- due to climate change, humidity, sweat- creams like sunscreen and bug spray- all of these being factors linked to summertime- and the last thing we want is a product adding even more oil when we have all these other factors to worry about! I give this product two stars/lippies because it did a wonderful job as a makeup remover (even with my 20 coats of waterproof mascara). Although, its the most expensive makeup remover I have ever used... I will stick to pampers baby wipes, my HG for CHEAP yet the BEST makeup removers of all time!
Love this cleanser. It takes off all my makeup and I feel it really does clean my face better than any other cleanser I've used. The smell is nice and not too overwhelming. It leaves my face extremely soft and has prevented me from breaking out.
Bought a 3pc set off QVC for $65.00 which included a 32oz bottle of Purity, 32oz bottle of Microdelivery & 8oz jar of Hope
The price was great! The purity cleanser does do a good job in taking every speck of makeup off, I have to say that, but I do not like the tight filmy feeling my face is left with. So I wash again with my very moisturizing Mary Kay Timewise 3-in-1 cleanser. I will definitely keep using it & buying it but will always wash my face again with Timewise
I love using this cleanser to remove all makeup. It is gentle on my skin while also being effective at cleansing bacteria and dirt from pores. I have not found that my skin is dry or cracked after using this. Consistency feels very silky on face and the smell is very refreshing.
Very good basic cleanser. I finally discovered that no matter which cleanser I use I should always try to remove most of my makeup before hand. I have been using coconut oil as a makeup remover and it works great. I only purchased a small bottle of this but I loved every drop. I enjoy the smell, reminds me of how a spa smells. Cleans well and doesn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight. The only downside is how expensive it is, I think $20 for a "normal" size of this cleanser is a bit ridiculous. If I had a gift card I might use it to splurge on this cleanser since I do like it, but I have found other cleansers that work just as well, and even better, than this cleanser. I have been loving Lush's Fresh Farmacy lately, you get a big chunk for $10. Purity made simple is a good cleanser with a bad price tag.
I wanted to like this cleanser so bad because i'm such a Philosophy fan however this cleanser did nothing for me. It failed to take off all my makeup even though I don't consider myself a heavy makeup wearer. It did not give my face that "clean" feeling that other cleansers do, it felt like I was washing my face with something that was going to leave it feeling oily and worse off than before. I ended up giving this cleanser away unfortunatly.
My mom introduced me to the philosophy brand and I do like some of their products. As for this cleanser, I wish I could give it a 4.5 because it's almost perfect. Super gentle, your face won't feel dry or super oily after using it, just really smooth :) Gets rid of makeup fairly well. But the only thing is that it is kind of on the pricey side. Other than that, it works well!

Edit: to the above viewer? Its people like you who give liberals a bad name. You have this gem of a film, and what do you choose to see? Out of all this good stuff? Just the bad. I would hate to be your neighbor.
This is one of the very best films I have seen on the archive. A very unusual film in its sensible, down to earth portrayal of an African-American family in the 1950's. The father is in the home, is kind and loving to his children, the mother seems like a fun, laid back gal who is very proud of her family, and the bit where she is doing the washing and the little girls knock on her door and they all start dancing together on the front porch is just pure gold. The fact that this was made in Georgia in the fifties is also sort of astonishing. The "Negro" is depicted as being normal, decent, and loving. Its evenhandedness in a time where black people had to use separate toilets and water fountains is kind of mind boggling. I think this film is so timeless in its portrayal of human behavior that it will always be entertaining. An absolute gem.

Very Interesting Look At History. But....
Narrator says: "Even with a good man, things like this will happen..."
Dad says: "Shut up or I'll bust you in the mouth."
I'm sorry. I think it's incredibly sad that this was portrayed as a normal way that a "good man" would speak to his wife when he's having a bad day. Violence towards women is not acceptable. Ever.

More realistic than most
I am a 58 year old white woman from Texas. And, after seeing this film, I can say without a doubt, if I had my choice to sit on the porch and talk to a family and pass the time, I would pick anyone in this film over the folks in the white-bread perfection world of most of these 1950's Coronet films.
I agree with History Teacher's Assessment of this film completely.

A Snapshot of Everyday Life...
This is one that I use in class as a counterpoint to all of the 1950s Technocolor Fantasy footage found elsewhere in the archives. My students are mostly African-American, and the way my unit on the '50s in my textbook is set up, it goes point/counterpoint, with all of the Happy Days sorts of images and features of American life (prosperous, cool, and above all, very, very white) balanced against the poverty, opression and racisim that went on at the same time. The '50s was a bright, shiny lid clamped on a seething cauldron of social ills. When the lid pops off in the '60s, it isnt pretty...
In the meantime, most people lived pretty ordinary and decent lives, and this film poitrays this in a southern and African-American context very nicely. The kids instanly recongnise the community and culture they see (the town I teach in is not all that far in size or distance from Gainsville, GA). The kids seem to appreciate a black family that is poitraied as being so very NORMAL. Not perfect, but very real, and pretty healthy and well-funcitoning, and very NORMAL...

The Other Side of the 50s
This 50s public service film shows us the stresses and strains of a typical family, and how the ways the parents handle things affect the children. But with a differencethis family is African-American and lives in rural Georgia. The family portrayed is basically a healthy one, though the parents have some flaws. This is pretty amazing, given how much stress they are under from living in a world of poverty and oppression. In fact, this film stands in stark contrast to the other films being made during this time. Instead of being a happy housewife in a clean suburban home filled with modern conveniences, like, say, in Young Mans Fancy, the mother in this film does her laundry with a tub and washboard after she gets home from working all day something that is not a choice for her, but a necessity, as the family desperately needs the money. In fact, she really wants to be able to stay home with her kids, because her only childcare option for the preschoolers is to leave them with cranky Aunt Esther, who showers affection on the baby while treating the other kids like dirt. Still, she considers herself lucky, because she has a good man who works hard, brings home his pay, and showers the children with affection. And you can tell that in her world, that is pretty damn fortunate. The oldest child in the family, a little girl of about 8 or 9, sensibly runs away from a creepy stranger who shouts, Hey little girl, come here! but she doesnt live in the squeaky clean world of The Cautious Twins, or even in the Sid Davis universe, but in a run-down neighborhood that probably has guys like that on every corner, making that interaction seem disturbingly real. The film ends on a somewhat tragic note when the father is seriously injured in an industrial accident. The mother spends a tense night at the hospital, and is finally told by a nurse that her husband will pull through, but you know he was just inches away from death. Still, you know his injury will be very hard on the family, and the film ends like a Centron discussion film, by asking the viewer What would you do? if you were in this womans place. But there are no easy, obvious answers to that questionits all too easy to imagine the family being destroyed by such a stressor. Granted, they do seem to be pretty tough, resilient people, but just how much can any family take before starting to fall apart at the seams? The film is well-made and portrays the family realistically and sympathetically. It promotes the sensible proposition that children wont be significantly damaged by the occasional family argument or harsh words, as long as they are the exception and not the rule. And although the film takes seriously the responsibilities of parents to bring their children up right, there is an implicit acknowledgement that social factors can make this difficult and can even place limits on the power parents have to give their children a good environment. Racism is not explicitly dealt with in the filmthe only scene of what seems to me to be explicit racism is when the white nurse talks to the mother in a simplistic tone one might use with somebody with mental retardationbut the incredible contrast this film makes to the films about white people speaks louder than words about the effects of racism. This is an important film to watch to contrast with the other films on the archiveit gives you the other side of the 50s.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: N/A. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: *****. Overall Rating: *****.

Curious hybrid of soap opera, history lesson, race relation film, melodrama AND coronet instructional film about a poor family growing up in the South. The Mother stays at home all day (save for a part time job) the father also has a full time job, and they have 4 hungry mouths to feed. All the acting here is pretty amazing. It looks obvious that the kids don't appear to be acting, as it looks like this is an actual family we're seeing. I would've liked to have kept the documentary thing going and not verge into soap opera territory ("Your husband's been hurt REAL bad!") but that's a bit of a minor complaint. The Aunt Esther character is really interesting too, as she reminds me of an Aunt in my family. Reccomended!
Robert Penn -
Stilted Effort nonetheless rings somewhat true
The point of this film was to instruct parents how to raise their children properly. The storyline that asks how the mother/children will carry on if the father (bread winner) is incapacitated is handled in a truly hoakie way, however, before that final/forced plot twist, I truly enjoyed seeing city Negroes going about their family life and work life in ways that don't fit either minstrel, blaxploitation or hip hop stereotypes.
The elemenyd are believable to me: the humble surroundings; the proud father; the self-righteous aunt; the mother who also works; and the dramatizations of how different women treat children differently. I grew up in a Black neighborhood in a midwestern city in the late 40s and during the 50s so the film brought up many nostalgic feelings.
It might seem too Ozzie and Harriet for some viewers, but I love seeing images like this. A lot of life in all-Black neighborhoods was and is just this simple.

I used to think that the soil had to be foot-compressed when planting. I recently read that compression shouldn't be done, as it makes it harder for the roots to move out.
So, what do most gardeners here do? |

I think that practice is recommended in order to stabilize the plant and to ensure that, when it's watered, it doesn't collapse. I don't stomp the dirt; I generally use my hands to press the dirt down since I'm usually down on the ground anyway. |

I'm with tomato on this one. I DO press down a bit, but not hard. With trees I use my foot, but I do NOT put my full weight down. I think moderation is the key. I'm curious to hear what other folks do too. Happy gardening! |
Ditto. Compress enough to give the plant some support but not too hard. |
Agree- with trees I use my foot and give a good push all around with just reg. plants I use my hand. This also helps to get rid of air pockets-NG PS Ref.your foot-- I think weight may come into play. 115 vs 225- lol |
Great question! I remember my Dad pressing down hard with his foot when planting saplings, and they all did just fine. Of course, this was in Illinois and we had farmland soil. I guess it depends on what kind of soil you have - with clayey desert soil, I just water it in real well and it compresses itself. With looser soil, I apply light to moderate pressure, taking care not to mash down too hard. |
Thanks for all the replies. Guess the words "Tread lightly" apply. |
Yeah, I just water stuff in - I tend to think it gets more of the soil to the roots anyway. |

New Jersey Devils Player of the Week: 2/27 – 3/4
It is hard to choose a player of the week when the teams record was 1-2-1. The team lost to the Rangers on Monday night, but had a strong comeback against Boston; just wasn't able to come away with two points. The team came out strong against the Capitals where Parise was able to get a hat trick in only about 10 minutes of ice time. Hedberg registered the shutout that night as well. Because of these tough choices we are asking you the fans that question. We asked some fans on twitter and fans suggested Brodeur, others suggested Parise and more. Here is what they said:
@Bkrayer817: #DevsPlayerOfTheWeek #ZachParise no doubt!HT, almost 4-bagger;gets sandwiched and *still* finished game!!
Two people showed love for Hedberg who got the only win of the week.
@JGSportTalk: Johan Hedberg. Played tremendous against Washington and got the shutout."
@xo_coll: Hedberg! Got us the win and shut out.. Being able to trust our backup may be something #NJDevils fans take for granted.. :)
Another fan choice, is Marty. His record doesn't display how well he played. He kept the Devils in the game against the Rangers, Boston and the Islanders.
@DougS-AG6: @DevilsGenerals Brodeur allowed 6 goals in 3 games.. 2 of those the Devils were shutout 2-0(1 was an EN) and 1-0
@wwkuwl: Marty. He kept us alive in a lot of games. Best man on the ice for the games he played, no doubt.
So now it is up to all the fans to vote, which New Jersey Devil do you think deserves Player of the Week for 2/27-3/4?
Player of the Week: January 30, 2012 – February 5, 2012
The New Jersey Devils earned 4 wins and 20 goals this past week. These games were fun and exciting, especially against division rivals. It also provides us with a long list of potentials for Player of the Week. Our top players have been producing. Kovalchuk's name has been a potential candidate every week for a few weeks now as he is playing at the top of his game. NHL named him second star of the week. Kovalchuk had 10 points (3g, 7a) including the game winning shootout goal against our cross-river rivals.
Zach Parise and Dainius Zubrus weren't far behind. Parise had at least 1g every game last week totaling 5 goals and 1a. Zubrus had 3g and 6 assists, pairing up with Kovalchuk on back to back shorthanded goals. Zubrus assisted Kovalchuk against the Flyers and was able to notch a SHG of his own from Kovalchuk against the Penguins.
Martin Brodeur also had a fairly strong week going 3-0. We considered Clarkson as he set his own personal record of 20 goals in a season. In most weeks his performance would have landed him as a strong candidate. So, the question is who do you think was this past week's player of the week? Also, feel free to comment and share your thoughts on how the team has been playing below.
Player of the Week: 12/26 – 1/1
The Devils finished up the holiday week with a 2-1 record. They beat Fleury and the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-1. Up to this point, the Devils have won 7 of their last 9 and have been getting a decent amount of scoring. The three choices for this past week are Brodeur, Sykora and Clarkson. Brodeur was able to pick up a 2-0 record beating Buffalo and Pittsburgh 3-1 and posted a .962 SV% during that time. Sykora was able to pick up 2 goals, both against Buffalo. Sykora played well, coming very close to a hat-trick. Clarkson picked up his 12th and 13th goal of the season last week and had 2g, 1a.
Player of the Week – 11/21-11/28
The Devils finished a busy four game stint, winning two and losing two. New Jersey had some great hockey this week, including a shoot out win over Columbus. It was tough to pick who to put in the poll this week, but we narrowed it down to the three we thought deserved it most. Think someone else did better? Click OTHER and let us know who!

Minimum Stay | 1 - 7 nights |
Available May through September. This home is nestled in a beautiful, wooded area of Northern Michigan. Located at 1226 Rams Road, Indian River, it sits at the south-end of Mullett Lake in Pigeon Bay.
The house has both a furnace and gas fireplace/stove. There is a full kitchen, dining area, closed in porch (ideal for evening card-games) and large deck. You will find the house to be clean and furniture in good condition. There is one downstairs bedroom with a double bed. There are two upstairs bedrooms. One has a double bed, bunk-bed set and one twin bed. The other has a double bed and sofa-bed. The living room also contains a sofa-bed. There is also a sleep cot available.
The evening sunsets take your breath away. The lake in front of the house is sandy, shallow and ideal for children. Lake depth in front of the house for approximately 100 yards is 24-36' deep. The boat dock and lift are available for your use. (Boat lift accommodates flat bottom fishing or ski boats. Deep draft - V bottom boats will need to use the mooring approximately 75 yards off the boat dock.)
A gas barbeque grill, picnic table, fire pit,horseshoes, volleyball/badminton, two kayaks and lawn chairs are available for your enjoyment by the lake.
Mullett Lake is a 10-mile long, spring-fed, crystal–clear lake. Pigeon bay is calm and ideal for fishing (walleye, bass, pike, trout, perch and muskie) or serious water skiing. Pontoon, water ski and fishing boat rentals are nearby.
The lake is part of the great inland waterway, by which one can boat 45 miles through a wildlife-filled, scenic chain of lakes and rivers starting in Pickerel Lake to Lake Huron through two locks, four large lakes and three beautiful rivers.
There's a local bald eagle that we see on a regular basis either soaring above the lake or catching fish.
If you enjoy river tubing, kayaking or canoeing, be sure to plan a ride down the Sturgeon River which can be arranged through Big Bear Adventures in town.
It's only a short drive to Indian River or Cheboygan, only 40 minutes to Petoskey or Harbor Springs and 30 minutes to Mackinac. A trip to Mackinac Island is a recommended day-trip activity where travel is only allowed by foot, horse-drawn carriage or bicycle. The scenery and historic setting is wonderous.
Other area attractions include the famous 'Cross in the Woods,' the world's largest crucifix carved from a giant 55-foot California Redwood.
Keywords: 3 bedroom, house, cottage, Mullett Lake, lakefront, Indian River
This home was built in the 1980's by my parents and was their retirement home. We have spent time there every summer ever since. My parents could no longer live alone in the woods and had to move into senior living. Thus, our reason for renting. This is our family's favorite place in the world!
We think this is paradise.
We spend our time mostly on the water, skiing, jet-skiing, sailing, swimming. Every year we take a trip to Mackinac Island for a leisurely bike ride around the Island. We also do an annual tubing or canoe trip down the Sturgeon River. We are always sure to go to town for the best pizza/Italian dinner at Vivio's. Also, just a lot of relaxing.
The house comes with two kayaks, volleyball/badminton and horseshoes.
