a few drops of peanut oil in a can of warm water is a great and very inexpensive way to kill white mold on roses.

Flower seeds are so expensive and I still have a hard time looking at the metric measurement they give on the seed packets. The past 2 years I have purchased flower seeds from a company in Texas. The prices are good and you either can buy by the packet, ounce, 1/4 lb., or by the pound. The prices are very good and you would be surprised how many seeds are in an ounce! And then, if you are careful and don’t plant all the seeds you will have seeds left over for the next year. Check out http://www.wildseedfarms.com/

Thanks Linette! @Nilz – yeah, one bad experience can ruin the whole trade deal. But on the flip side, not all go that way.

Wonderful tips! Although your idea of utilizing ‘garage sales’ must be very effective but I guess, trading with friends may not be a great idea. I had bitter experience in the past. May be – I’m little unfortunate.
