    I was cruising around collecting information about foxgloves and snapdragons, both of which are in my extensive container garden, when I stumbled upon this site. My new thing the last few days has been collecting seed and man that is highly addictive. Thus far I only have my foxglove seeds and am waiting on my snaps to brown up so I can gather those as well. I also have about 50 different seedlings (not sure what they are.. some zinnias, morning glory vines, etc) coming up in my backyard in flats (it's so hot here and my windows don't offer enough sunlight). Basically, I'm here to see what other people are doing so I can learn how to make my garden absolutely amazing. Thus far, it pretty much is... I only need to figure out what else I want to do/add to it.


    Hopefully soon I will have snapdragon seeds available for trade. My foxglove seeds are ready and available and I really want to have this plant live on. My husband and I are freshly married and it was my first mother's day present from him. If you'd like some, let me know and I will get them to you! As for what I'd like in return... *shrugs* anything hardy for zone 5b is good. I'll post a picture of my front garden and maybe someone with some experience could advise me on what would be a charming addition :D
