Seed Round Robin

lily__nut
20 years ago

I came across an interesting thread in the Seed Exchange forum. The thread is for a seed round robin. A box/packet of seeds is sent around to a list of those interested. You just replace as many seeds as you take out of the box, hopefully with different seeds. The travels of the packet is tracked on the forum. In fact, there is now a new Round Robin forum they are using to track their 2 seed boxes. That round robin is already closed, but I thought if enough people were interested it might be fun to have our own Okie seed round robin.

Here is a link that might be useful: Seed Exchange thread

    I just joined a couple of days ago. I would be very interested in joining your next Round Robin. I have some beautiful pink mum seeds to share. Thanks.

  • sconfer32
    20 years ago

    The Round Robin arrived yesterday. Have chosen from a great variety. Thanks to everyone. I guess the plan is to send it around again and maybe this time pick up the newcomers like bookworm. Do plan to add some hot pepper seeds, okra, and little marvel peas with edible pods.

    hope everyone is doing well.

    Who is still interested in a second visit from our robin? I show that WindsurfGirl, Wolohobe, ChaseUdn and TulsaLady expressed interest. Are you still interested? Is anyone else interested? We can add Merryme and ShawneeBookworm to the second round also. Thanks to everyone who participated in our little game.

  • TulsaLady
    19 years ago

    Wolohobe said she is still interested please, but to please put her last before it goes back to Paul if that's ok. She also said to tell everybody hi and she misses you all and will see you at the swaps. I sure do miss her fun side around here. Seems way too serious.

    Oh..I'm happy I checked back in here! LOL I'll be ready and waiting for the robin to land!!!! I just hope it doesn't get here at my busy time of week! (Which is everyday this month...LOL) I think I have many new seeds to put in this time around! I hope everyone has fun!

    Brinda :)

  • ChlorophyllJill
    19 years ago

    Brinda, I think you were the one who so generously gave everyone a packet of morning glory seeds - thanks so much. All of mine germinated and I can't wait to plant them outside!!! This is so much fun!

    I think I've turned into a seed addict!

    Jill

  • ChaseUdn
    19 years ago

    LOL Jill....I'm not surprised that they all germinated! I think they are germinating all over my yard as we speak! Do you know that mg's hate to be transplanted? They will look really wilty when you do, and some may not survive. If you have a problem, let me know....I have a gazillion!

  • brenda_in_ok

  • ChaseUdn

    Well, I haven't heard from Wolohobe, so I don't know if I will be getting it or not. :(

    DH says that it made it last night! Oh yeah! I can't wait to get home today and see it. If everyone agrees, I plan to send it on to Brenda_in_ok, and she can send it to jujusgarden. I will get it in the mail on Monday! Enjoy a beautiful weekend everyone!!!

    Well...everyone get the gun and shoot me! I have the rr! I was sooooo sick last week with some kind of virus and missed 4 days of work. It was horrible...and I still haven't sent the rr out. I will do it tonight when I get home and send it to Brenda_in_ok! Everyone, I am so very sorry....after being sick and trying to double-time it at work all this week I forgot about it. But it will be on the way tonight! If you can't forgive me....you can just shoot me....I need someone to put me out of my misery anyway! LOL Ugh.....how can so much work pile up so fast???

    Brinda :)

    Brenda_in_ok...you sent me email awhile back with your address....Please send it again....I'm not on my computer at home so I can't go back and look it up. Thanks so much! ChaseUdn@aol.com
