Im in sign me up!

alright! thank you! its gonna be a go now! Lets see who else wants in on the this one.

Maybe more lurkers with the cold weather and rain due in this weekend. I have been trying to get out in the gardens every waking minute I can.

This sounds great, sign me up too. But, I do have a few questions to make sure I do it correctly as I've never round robined before. Do we check the want list of the person to whom we're sending the plant to make sure we give them something they want, or do we just send something nice we have handy? How does one make sure the plant arrives in good shape? I've ordered plants off the internet that have arrived by mail, and they've done fine, but they're usually tiny. I assume robin participants want nice fat healthy plants. :-) Thanks for your patience with this newbie! Oh, and can I send you my address without posting it on the forum? If so, how? Thanks again!

You may send what ever your heart desires. A box will arrive to your address, you will remove the contents and then send what you would like on to the next person, who will take that out and replace and send along to the next person. Being that we are keeping this in Maine or nearby, shipping should be kinder than trying to get it across country, however, use common sense and some thought in getting the plant. Updated trade lists are nice to go by but shouldnt be a requirement.

You can send me your addy by sending me an e-mail off my members page. Just click my name which is underscored next to any of my postings and that should take you to my members page. From there hit "send me an e-mail". Just follow the instructions and I'll be getting your address.

Once I get your address I will put it on an index card and number it in sequence of "the flight of the Robin". When you recieve the box a note with the order to send the Robin will be in it along with each adress on an index card for your convience to tape on the box as to who the package is being sent to and also posted here on this thread for reference. Some people may like to get a confirmation number, I dont know how much that costs, but its rather inexpensive, if I remember. Once you send the robin out you would post your confirmation number here ( not necessary to pst or get confirmation number- but do post it as being sent out)and give the next person in line a heads up, "the robin is on its way!"

The main idea is to have fun, if someone doesnt like what they get, its just the chance one takes. But I have never been dissapointed and have been doing seed/plant roundrobins for 2 years here and have never been dissappointed in what I got, usually make new friends and have alot of fun!

So no whinning if you play! Now lets have some fun.
Send me your addys and June 1st this little robin is off!

Was wondering about the flight of the little robin....has he landed any where?

Hi, sorry haven't been able to post. The robin has landed at my doorstep and is waiting for the weather to clear and the ground to dry up enough for him to dig up his surprises before he heads east! Hopefully....sunny weather this wkend!

Is this robin still flying? I haven't seen it yet, but maybe it's stalled due to hot weather. Let me know....

hopefully the robin gets up and going again. The weather has been a challenge this year. I will try to contact the last person to see what is happening to our little friend.

Did you find out whats going on with the swap?

No, I cant get an email through and no responses...I am not sure if the robin went off course or is grounded. I hope it just got over heated and needed a break from the humidity...I am praying for you little robin, I dont want to loose you! I do believe I do believe, I do believe I do believe...please little robin speak to me...where are you?
