The packets said 25 seeds each-----but I have way MORE then 80 sprouting! I stopped pulling sprouting seeds at 72. I have lots left over still sprouting in the baggies but even 72 is way more then I can use. I wish I could give these sprouting baggies to someone else but I don't know any gardeners! These are Rosa ragosas, Rubra and Blonca.
I haven't even started hatching the virginia roses yet which are still in the fridge LOL
Its getting way outta control and I havent even started veggies and flowers yet for the garden!!
Maybe I will put them up on Freecycle and see if someone can take the baggies.

I wish I lived closer, I'd help thin things down.   Free cycle or maybe even check at the Senior Center; maybe there's some older folks who would love the seedlings.  |

If it wasn't so bloody cold out I could mail the baggies to someone, but I think the sub freezing temps would get to the sprouts! Here are the sprouts in little pots....they are very little yet, just roots, no leaves yet.  |

Neat...I have never seen roses grown from seeds! I will have to try that after we move! Maybe a school would like them? I like the idea of the nursing home getting some! Great that they all came up! You will have to show us the results in a few months or so!!!!!

What about getting some cheap pots from the Dollar Tree or other Dollar only place and potting them up. I bet you could sell a started plant for $2-$3 or give a group discount-5/$8. You might make enough to pay for your other garden supplies. |

Do you have a animal sale place (auction) by you? The one by us also lets you sell other things and plants/flowers go over really big. A lot of people will start veggies, and plants and they get pretty much what you would pay at a nursery.
