Then there is the purple nails from shelling purple hull peas, and I teach cake decorating, try to explain "My hands really are clean" to people who have no idea where food comes from.Valerie Pilgreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10844557898315363671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-10466404474216298602010-01-27T07:33:57.441-05:002010-01-27T07:33:57.441-05:00Don't they though?

T...Kelly, yes they are round, black and very hard! The big red Celosia flowers are the only other ones I saved and they are wispy more like a marigold seed. I have been driving myself crazy looking through old photos of my yard trying to figure it out! Funny thing is the only seed I remember saving was that Celosia, although right next to it was a little dish containing this mystery stuff, I'm thinking I did it the same day but just don't remember! I'm telling you, its those kids, they steal all our brain cells...Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-54187453944090536682010-01-25T11:58:47.438-05:002010-01-25T11:58:47.438-05:00Are they round? if yes maybe thyme, sage, or flow...Are they round? if yes maybe thyme, sage, or flowers like ypu mentioned. Did you save seed from this big red ones you grew? (I think that was you!) Thyme seeds are tiny though, those may be too large.<br /><br />If sided then like rose said, some type of allium (chives, onion etc....)Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-57888480187247793042010-01-25T11:54:02.241-05:002010-01-25T11:54:02.241-05:00RuralRose, another definite not for onions or garl...RuralRose, another definite not for onions or garlic, none of it flowered and I wouldn't have saved that anyways! I am hoping for a speedy germination on the 3 "mystery cells" so we can all find out what it is. <br /><br />And, yes... Marley is a cuteheart! She's my "turn-key" dog. We got her when she was 6 years old and she is a model of good behavior and sweetness. None of it is rubbing off on Sprocket, our little 1 year old Aussie that's full "it"!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-47923813041165303902010-01-25T11:18:55.703-05:002010-01-25T11:18:55.703-05:00I don't know what the seeds are, but I just go...I don't know what the seeds are, but I just gotta say that your Marley is such a pretty girl!!!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038703319667640641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-7103831211201105092010-01-25T02:26:40.081-05:002010-01-25T02:26:40.081-05:00Onions or garlic, I would but money on it.

It is definitley NOT cilantro, NOT chives (I didn't plant any last year), and NOT Basil (I only grow Pesto Perpetuo Basil which does not flower and is sterile). I have a feeling it might be a flower. I guess we really might have to wait and see! I just hope they germinate so we can solve the mystery!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-17137809435764010392010-01-24T20:17:10.784-05:002010-01-24T20:17:10.784-05:00That's definitely not cilantro...I'm with ...That's definitely not cilantro...I'm with caffeinated mama, it looks like basil seeds. <br /><br />I'm starting my artichoke seeks next weekend along with a few other things...I'm getting really excited!Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09303344546714641616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-88438378193586098662010-01-24T18:54:39.679-05:002010-01-24T18:54:39.679-05:00It looks to me like chives.

I saved some chive seeds last year and while I don't have the flower part anymore the seeds look similar to yours.<br />JudyJudy Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121300109427407095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-722685129947773772010-01-24T18:12:37.371-05:002010-01-24T18:12:37.371-05:00Hey Erin!
