Hi Tammy....

Don't worry whatever happens... i can always send u some more seeds... my purple ...new plant ...is flowering now...n da whites of course..n da Thompson & Morgan one too... purple tho...not pink s they claim...they r all planted in/on? da ground....
BTW i have received their replacement seeds a few days ago..but have not posted da news in da forum...n i have not sown 'em yet...REALLY, REALLY HOPE these seeds will produce da elusive pink flowers... n another thing T&M also claimed that da flowers r fragrant.. outta curiosity r your Hyacinth Bean Flowers fragrant?
p/s i tried sowing chives some time ago... finished off a packet of seeds i received from a friend here in this forum ..... little by little that is....didn't sow all at once.... Unfortunately none came up... i wonder if chives doesn't like our warm weather??
Have a nice day, Tammy.....

I think the hycinth bean was in too small of a pot. It grew really well but it never bloomed. So of course I don't know about a scent with them. The white one did the same thing. It grew well for a while but never bloomed. Then they both died.
I hope you have good luck with your new seeds.
As far as the chives go they should have been very easy to grow. Just sprinkle them over the soil and then cover with about 1/16 of an inch of soil. I usually just sprinkle soil lightly over the seeds. Then keep moist until they germinate and then water about twice a week. They like full sun and warm temperatures so I wouldn't think you would have a problem. You can grow them inside if you have window space. I do that all through the fall and winter so I have them fresh for cooking.

Hi Nor,
Go ahead and give them my address I don't mind.
Please don't send any seeds. I'm hosting the fall fling seed exchange and me receiving any seeds right now would really confuse things. But thankyou for the thought. I hope you will join the Fall Fling Seed Exchange. It is loads and loads of fun. At least it is for me.
I'll pm you with my addy. We aren't suppose to put them on the forum.
