EtsyPHAT Plant Chat

It's Friday night and we're all hangin' out in the promo section doing our plant talk.

Join us and feel free to ask questions about our plants, any plants, and all plants!

Be on the lookout for seed grenades!

The first round of seed mixes are made, and are starting to make the rounds.
Seeds for this batch were contributed by fluffnflowers, Wildflower444444, and SapphireChild. Plantgirl will be making some too sometime soon. We set this idea in motion in a short period of time, so not everyone had time or seeds to contribute right away. As a result, I'm looking forward to the fun mixes we can make next time when more people can participate. As it is, each of these packs has a pretty good variety of seeds plus LOTS of misfit gardening fun. ;)

EtsyPHAT Promotes Guerrilla Gardening!

In theme with fluffnflowers absolutely fabulous article on guerrilla gardening published in the Storque, a few of us at EtsyPHAT are putting together some little seed mix grenades for all you budding gardening militia to attack abandoned spaces with.

Right now there will be four types of packs:
1. Melons & squash - Big seeds for Big jobs!
2. Ninja Wildflower Mix - Sprinkle and Disappear!
3. Rambo Plants - Tall plants and vines for the background
4. Herbal Assault - Edible herb varieties for a spicy community

Unfortunately this will be a limited release, but I hope this will be an ongoing effort with lots of participation. And please send us your Guerrilla Gardening photos and stories!
