2022 Gardening Thread

In October 2021, I harvested a boatload of luffa from my backyard. They all came from just 2 luffa plants that I’d planted 6 months prior. I still have luffas from that harvest. And had a boatload of luffa seeds.

And in Oct 2021, I posted on a local Facebook gardening group offering up free luffa seeds to anybody who wanted them. Offered to mail some to each person who wanted seeds. no charge. Many people responded. I mailed seeds out to everybody who asked.

Well, guess what? Today - November 9, 2022 - over a year later, one of those people sent me a FB message asking where are the seeds that I was supposed to send to her.

IT’S BEEN OVER 12 MONTHS, FOR PETE’S SAKE! What the heck. :rofl:

So I asked her to please confirm what types of seeds she’s asking about and if I still have some, I’ll be happy to mail some more out to her. Also mentioned that perhaps they got lost in the mail because stuff like that happens sometimes, you know.

And let’s not even get into the dozen people in that same gardening group who said they wanted rooted sugar cane cuttings and would come pick them up at my front door (labelled w/each person’s name on it)…and they were no shows.

So that’s it. I’m DONE with giving away seeds or cuttings from my garden to people who I am not actually friends with.
