I Am A Seed Hoarder

[baymule]

Dang it @GypsyG !!!!! Now I'm looking at One Green World website!! My seed hoarding just went into overdrive!

Yacon? Seaberries? It's ALL your fault!!

I do NOT know how anyone lives, and deals with, a frozen world. I could not do it - I'm dreading going outside and the temp here is in the mid 40's with 99% humidity this morning.

The seeds in the stash don't count if you have a place to grow them.

Kind of like counting chickens: Many folks don't count the roos b/c they don't lay eggs. They don't count the chicks b/c they may grow up to be roos. They don't count the pullets until they start to lay. They don't count the broody hens, b/c they are totally not productive. When asked how many chickens they have, they pause for a bit. Then, inevitably, they roll their eyes up, then start counting fingers (or tuck their hands behind their back) and say: "Oh, about a dozen."

Hello, all of you hoarders, so sorry you live in a state of perpetual dysfunction. However, I do not have a problem. Nope. Not me.

Tsk...tsk! How soon we forget!

I have a room that I keep my seed stash in. I keep the door closed. But the door keeps springing open, and the seeds leak out. I'll not throw out an old packet of seeds. Mercy, that's like committing murder. Those seeds might not be viable, and I'll never know if I don't plant them. But... what if I threw those seeds away, and they actually still possessed the potential to germinate? Oh the horror! Every time I pour a packet of seeds into my palm, I am totally awestruck at the power in those tiny little orbs. My palm can hold enough lettuce seed to grow salad to feed every person living in my county! Every seed a miracle.

But, that's not really a problem, is it?????

I need to make an order. If I do, will my hands stop trembling and will this facial tic go away?

Only for a short time....be strong

The hand tremor is actually beneficial when sowing small seeds, like carrot and lettuce.

Championship enabling right there folks, lol!

You did good! Self-restraint is a wonderful thing I hear. However, I have no personal knowledge.
