Good to see you back! I'm looking forward to growing your seeds again this year. I've started geranium seeds for the first time and so far, so good!

First , yayyyy!!!! Congrats on your upcoming retirement 🎉 you must be excited and nervous at the same time 😅 I have one more year, and I’ll be semi retired. OR, if my plant sales take off, maybe a full retirement 🤷🏼‍♀️ I have plans with the guy that owns the house I rent and we are going in on a team effort for (blah blah blah) and if all goes well, I’m home free and living the dream 💭 Thanks for everything you’ve done for us and I’m looking forward to getting - no, diving back into the plant world! Go us!! 🙌🏻 🎉🎊🇨🇦🇺🇸🥳

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Thanks Bonnie!!! Looking forward to it but yes Nervous...but Im just changing to a new chapter in life..will eventually expand my Coleus Biz....but Im blessed to have worked and saved into a great Pension and im very happy

[@bonniemccormack1361]

@ that’s great. That’s a long time to have a routine and habits. Wait til you see how quick you learn to do a cartwheel to celebrate sweet freedom tho 😅

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

I am in Houston TX. I am getting ready to start my seeds. Going to Lowes to get my jiffy pod pellets...not sure correct name, tomorrow. I let alot of my plants drop seeds in my garden and I am hoping I get lots of volunteers. But still plan on starting new ones too! I still have some seeds from you. I also purchased from Rosy Dawn last year and was very happy with the plants.

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

@cherylsloan1305 Excellent....you have a great array of possibilities going. Dropped seeds is of course the natural way...but nothing like planting them in a controlled space. I'm putting in my Rosy Dawn order tomorrow. Thanks So much for Buying my Seeds and watching!!! Good luck!!!

[@darlenebelitz]

Can we just buy certain varieties from you? On ebay it looks like a mix

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

I have Saturn, Empire Kong, Scarlet Kong, Jitters, Marble Jitters, Crimson Gold, a Surprise Mix, Defiance, Xmas Candy, Mosaic and Pink Wizard Rose. I can put together a special order of what you want. Each order comes with separately marked Glycine baggies marked with each of the variations. So if you have enough Empire Kong I can give you an extra of say Saturns or Jitters. Generally each order includes about 9-10 varieties.

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

You are correct. I specifically create potted Coleus creations to sell at a Farmers market. So yes you are correct... Endless possibilities

[@christineborgatti3760]

I'm Northern Virginia. Last year my last frost was in March.

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

So You can absolutely Start your Coleus indoors Now. If you have the space Or proper simple equipment....like an indoor greenhouse, growlights and jiffy pods trays you can start them in December

Hi Jim

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

@evelynr.4151 Hi Evelyn!! 👋 Its SOOOO COLD!!! I was up in Blairstown & Newton Saturday.... Feels Colder here on the Coast. Hope All is well. Getting ready for a busy Spring...Retirement as well. Thanks for saying Hi

[@briteddy9759]

Question on your seeds on eBay: is it a mix or are they separated by variety?

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Good Question. You will get each Variety in separate glycine Baggies. Ive been selling for years...have 100% Rating. Everyone grows beautiful Coleus from them.

@bonniemccormack1361 Very True.... I did that not being mindful and it was aweful
