Tomorrow I plant seeds

Category: FRED - the garden | Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 1:08 am

I found the type of shelves I wanted for the potting shed and got them put together today. White metal with wire mesh shelves.
I have been saving all sorts of containers to use as pots, the bottom half of half gallon size Silk (soy milk) cartons, bottom half of water bottles, yogurt cartons, etc. Plus I have some small pots from plant buying over the years.
Also have some large pots for the plants that will have to stay in a pot longer than the others...like the grass plants that will go out front after some work and painting is done on the eaves.

I also will be calling Seeds of Change tomorrow with a question about the order I have not received. I emailed them yesterday and got a response back that I had underpaid on the order and still owed $5.05. They said a letter was mailed to me last Monday about it, now why did they wait a week and a half AFTER cashing my check to let me know I owed more?
I only ordered 5 packets and then added postage from their chart. Before I send anymore money I want an exact accounting of why?

I also found a small packet of two year old red Poppy seeds in a drawer and planted them in an pot out back not knowing if they were still viable and they are coming up. Never have grown Poppies before but the red color should be pretty.

I certainly wouldn't send any more money either Toni. I, like you, would like a full explanation first. I have poppy seeds from three years ago and I think I'll plant them up and see what happens after reading that yours grew after two years.

Sounds like you have an exciting day tomorrow, Toni. I am so lazy, I buy 4" bedding plants or 6" perennials. Like I said, lazy.

Okay, problem with Seeds of change corrected. Between my forgetting to remove two items I had changed my mind about and my very old handheld calculator screwing up, I have no idea where I got the amount owed that I made the check out for.
Instead of calling I emailed them and a nice customer service lady helped me out. She retotaled the order without those two packets and now they owe me a small refund.

Note to self, buy new calculator.
