OK, I finally went through all of my seeds and plan to get a couple packages out in the next couple of weeks for those who want some. That said, if the seeds were from my first year gardening on the farm (2003), I decided to pitch them. Heck, I was keeping packs with water stains on them! It probably would not be worth anyone's while to try to germinate those. I also had seeds I had saved that didn't work for me either (pepper seeds; have to study saving those apparently). I do have lots of flower seeds saved from last year that I will be sharing. Finally, I have Pineapple Sage Seeds--truly an experiment on those, but I will be sending you some, Feisty! That said, I entertained myself setting up my new seed file which is very organized! I found an old hanging folder file box in the barn, so for $4 for files, I was able to set up a completely organized file of all of my seeds. A couple Christmases ago, Guy bought me a Dymo LetraTag which he thought was really dumb, but I've gotten great use of it. I make labels for seeds I have started, adhere them to craft sticks, and presto: professional labels. I also used it to label my office file with important house crap as well as my new seed file box. So much fun I had sorting and filing all of my seeds. The best thing about the Dymo is that you can make either paper labels or plastic labels on different colors of stock (I just use white). The cartridges are not really cheap (about $6), but each one makes tons of labels with different sizes and styles of letters. Really, it is cool and even does numbers and special characters... Ah, I'm simply illustrating how truly bored I am! I now have two pups laying as close to me as they can possibly get even though I've not heard more thunder, only rain. They will really be mad when I got out to fill birdfeeders...
