Description

The listing, Marigold Seeds (PLUS mystery bonus seeds!) has ended.

I have a huge gallon-size plastic bag full of flower seeds from MY flowers from last year. I will take a small plastic bag (as shown in picture), and put in it a "big ole pinch" of seeds from my bag for you.

The majority of seeds are marigolds, and there are all different varieties of marigolds - some are small, some are medium, some are quite tall. Some are yellow, some are orange, some are reddish-brown, and others are beautiful combinations of all these colors!

There are probably between 100 and 200 seeds in each "pinch", so I do hope you have either a lot of flowerbeds, or a lot of friends to share with! They are mostly marigolds, but you will also get some FREE mystery seeds mixed in with them - could be zinnia, petunia, etc or even wildflower seeds in there (no guarantees on what you get - you will get plenty of marigold seeds, AND you get other oddball seeds with marigold seeds). The mystery seeds will be a mystery until they grow up and bloom, then you'll know what they are!

This is the perfect time of year to get them started - they will bloom all summer and fall until the first frost kills them off.

Marigolds are very bright, happy, pretty flowers and very easy to grow - very hardy plants, and they don't require a lot of "work"! They don't have a particularly good odor, but it is a natual "bug repellant" - if you plant them AROUND your garden, their aroma will keep certain bugs away from your tender vegetables!

FREE shipping, U.S. only. Your package of seeds will go out the same day I receive your shipping address.

Thanks for looking, and check out my other auctions!

well, that'll teach you - always read the description completely!

and the comments, too, unless it's just a bunch of useless chitchat - hint, hint!

you keep wasting my time on these comments - AND every one of them goes to my personal email, too, so I have to waste even MORE time deleting them all from there

sweetie, the comment section is for questions and answers about the item up for auction - others thinking about bidding on it will read them, too - and you've got to admit there's a lot of useless stuff from you to read through - it may put off some bidders - you can click on my picture and email me directly, and it won't take up a bunch of space in my auction

you should take up crocheting - it takes up a lot of energy and you have something great to show for it

I'm not trying to call you lazy! It's just that I found twigs and a leaf in my bag! lol

Can you send me a message telling me what seeds are in there, since I already won this auction.

again, read description - "The mystery seeds will be a mystery until they grow up and bloom"

I can't tell you what they are, because I don't know what they are - I stored all my seeds together - this fall, I'll know to save each kind of flower seed separately and label them, but for right now, it's just a mixture of everything I grew last year!

Well, how do you grow your seeds? You just throw them in the soil?

I break up my soil, sprinkle seed pinches over whole area, then sprinkle shallow layer of potting soil over the seeds - and gently water
Apr 30th, 2010 at 7:28:11 PM PDT by

oops... I thought those were twigs, crumbs, soil and leaves and threw those away! Why didn't you tell me there were small varieties! :(

??? first line of description - "I have a huge gallon-size plastic bag full of flower seeds from MY flowers from last year." I save SEEDS from year to year - I don't save twigs, crumbs, soil and leaves.

??? another line from description - "could be zinnia, petunia, etc or even wildflower seeds in there" so I did tell you there were small seeds, too

did you read description? lol!

Fine. I just got four types. Marigold, zinnia, calendula and moring glory.

that you know of - there may tiny seeds (like petunia and celosa) you didn't notice - you won't know for sure until they grow up and bloom! ;)

I do. I'm experienced with many, many types of seeds by heart, so I know what they are, but I can't tell! Otherwise it wouldn't be a mystery! :)
