Hi Patty,

I am still packing up seeds. I am going to mail out on 1/20.

Sorry it is last minute, but I have alot of seeds on people's wishlist and I want to send as many as possible. Being sick also threw me off.

Amy

Yep Fran,I think Mark is on to something,we will all have to just get started on our seed sowing,I don't see that we have a choice...lol...

Patty, My seeds were mailed this afternoon. I did include a return mailing label. : ) I hope you are keeping your head above the seed packets and you aren't feeling so overwhelmed. Take a break, you deserve one. Thanks again for all of your work on this swap.

Pat

Fran,

I may have discovered a problem: my potting soil is FROZEN SOLID! I'll have to bring it in from my potting shed to thaw!

Mark, OPPPS! LOL. At least it is something you can fix easy enough.

Yes Patty, come up for air we don't want you to get lost in that sea of seeds! And I KNOW you have a bunch there right now! WITH MORE ON THE WAY! At least you have our support...lol.

:) Fran

At least you HAVE soil Mark! lol I'm still waiting on my local Lowes/Home Depot/(anywhere!) to put theirs out! argghhhhh

anyone else that wanted Marks goldenrods and the black and blue salvia I know I asked for a salvia.
The seeds are supposed to be mailed by the 15th and I extended that it was earlier. I have to e-mail people we haven't heard from.
Patty

Patty, I mailed out today. :) I requested some of the black and blue salvia, I believe.

Kathy

Hi Patty,
I had a real hard time logging onto GW last night. Took forever for the page to load. When it did, half the graphics were gone. I don't think it's your computer, I think GW is having some problems. Today...logged on and all is normal again.

Cindy : )

Patty I thought the original send date was the 15th, and was moved to the 20th...I apologize if I had it wrong..

I will mail out on Tues, since there is no mail on Monday

Thanks for all your hard work.

YES GW was having trouble yesterday !! Thankfully seems much better today.

Hi Patty,
I will be mailing out Tuesday also.Thank you so much for hosting this swap.Also thank you for doing such a wonderful job....velvet

Hi all
flwrs4ever yes you are right the original date was the 15th and we changed it to the 20th sorry about the mistake I e-mailed all I haven't heard from I will update tomorrow after the mail comes we should have something next to all names by then.
Patty

Oh, you guys/gals PLEASE send in veggies, too! Please, please, please!

Blessings,
Angela

I sent in some veggies, can't remember who all I sent in for or to, but I did cover some veggies...

I am so excited, can't wait to see what comes back wooohooo, this is so great.

Patty, I want to thank you again for hosting this and doing such a great job keeping us updated on when you received.

:) Fran

I am sending veggies too Angela,no worries,veggie gardeners will not be forgotten! I think really, more and more of us are growing our own due to the financial situation,so there are alot more veggie gardeners out there! :)

Whew!..... Okay... I feel better now... LOL

Blessings,
Angela

Angela, BUMMER! I knew I should not have shipped out so soon. I am just always late for everything and decided for once in my life to get the swap package out early so I did not have to worry about it. I see a bunch that I have after your updates. :o( Maybe we can work something out after the swap. I have a very fruitful Meyer Lemon tree that just keeps on giving. I sent in some seeds to another participant but I did not see it on your list. I think you added it later. :o(

Nancy

Oh, Nancy... You are SO thoughtful! I'd love to see what we both get in the swap and try to work something out afterwords to fill in the gaps, if there is any... Are you also in the "Wow" swap? Just email me, and we can discuss this more! :-D

You know, I totally meant to post on the thread that I had updated my list, too... that'll sure teach me! I'm glad you got your package out early for a change... I'm not quite in the same boat here! :-)

Hey, anyone want something fun to do while you're packing seeds? You can't really watch TV, although you can listen to it or the radio. I just found something really cool! You can read anything that you copy and paste into this thing because it reads it to you... neat little free program... If there's a lot of text you want to "read" without actually reading, you have to try this neat thing! The link is below... (little hint, though, make sure you copy and paste into notepad first then copy and paste into the program from there as it removes the HTML that websites have. Believe me, you don't want to hear all that HTML gibberish... LOL... (You have to use CONTROL/C to copy and CONTROL/V to paste for it to work.)

Blessings,
Angela

This link is better below. It's another text to speech program, but with better buttons and user friendliness. BE SURE to use the Microsoft Anna voice with it as she is by far the easiest voice to understand. ENJOY packing more seeds for those of use that still are...

Blessings,
Angela

Angela

I checked my notes and I put 4 different types of tomato packets in your seed package.

Thanks for the links to the speech programs. We are going to give them a try later today.

Sandy

Here is the results of my e-mails I got a response from all except for 3 I will e-mail them all personally

Thanks for a great swap all ask the veterans we didn't think it could be better than last year but thanks to all of you it is.I will do my best to make all of you happy. My favorite part is reading your posts when your seeds arrive.
Patty

I'm glad us veggie/fruit/herb people weren't left out! Thanks! Oh, I'm getting so excited about what we're all going to get back. :-)

Off to pack more seeds... I think this is my last day packing... I'm running out of seeds!... I think I still have enough for the other swaps I'm in.... Hmmmmmm.... LOL

Blessings,
Angela

Don't Worry Angela, I have some herbs and Veggies for people who have them on their wish list. I know for a fact I have some for you. I can't use the veggies myself(no room) so I will send many of what I had off in this swap.

Amy

Angela,

My packages were mainly veggies. A few flowers that were requested, but mainly veggies.

I just got all my pumpkin seeds cleaned out and dried and ready for anybody who wants them. I have Atlantic Giant pumpkin seeds (produces all the biggest pumpkins in the world -New England record breaking 1443 lb.) , and Musque de Provence pumpkin(said to be tne pumkin model for Cinderella's coach) . There is plenty for everyone on this swap. Just let me know and I'll include them in the packages I'm sending out. Chris

Chris, I'd like some of both, please! I'll shoot an email off as well... Thanks for the offer!

Blessings,
Angela

I think I sent you some veggie seeds Angela.

I just want to thank everyone who has reassured me that they sent in stuff for me. You are SO sweet... I'm sure all us veggie/fruit/herb people will be happy!

I'm nearing the finish line with my packing, but not done... I swore that I'd stay up until I got it done, but I may have to do the last bit tomorrow night after the kids are in bed instead... whew... almost done....

Blessings,
Angela

Chris,

I would like the Atlantic pumpkin please. Thank you.

Mark

Hi Patty,

My envelope with out yesterday. I emailed you my delivery confirmation number. Thanks again for all of your hard work!

Lisa

Chris I would love to have some of the musque de provence seeds! Thanks so much for offering them! Melinda

hello
I would love some pumpkins please
thanks a bunch
michelle

Hi Chris, I would love to have some of the Musque de Provence Pumpkin seeds. Thanks!!!!

Nancy

Chris if you have enough of those pumpkins,I would be delighted to have them! Since they are said to be the one Cinderellas coach was modeled after,I would just love to receive them and share them with my BF for her baby girls garden! We are doing a girly ('Sugar,Spice and Everything Nice') garden for her,princesses,fairies,ect...and what is really cute is,her name is Lily,so there will be lots of those too! ;)

I sent in as many veggies as I could. There were a few people that had mainly veggies on their lists, I don't have many that I have enough to share, that were on those lists. So I did send in some I thought would be liked by the person that were not listed.Like if they had a lot of paste tomatoes listed,I have a couple I was very fond of that I sent along. I just wanted to be sure there were enough packets for everyone,so if someone gets a packet from me that was not on their want list,I hope it isn't a problem! If it is, Patty,you can send them back to me, keep them for yourself, or give them to someone else....whatever you do is fine with me. There aren't that many I sent in like that,just a few!:)

Patty,there is alot more veggies in this swap than last year,if there is an overflow of them and you don't have anyone to send them off to,I am open to them even if they aren't listed on my wants! ;)

I have 5 more people to pack up today, hubby just ran out to grab me more envies. So I will be all done by the end of the day! This really has been so much fun,and I agree with Patty,it is so fun watching everyone post as they receive their envy loaded with lots of goodies! Thanks again Patty for hosting this swap again,you are the best!:)

This is the first swap like this I have been in, and the anticipation is killing me. It was so fun packing up everybody's seeds, that I didnt hardly even think about what I might be getting back. Now that my seeds are sent off and safely in patty's hands, the anticipation of what I am going to be getting is strong LOL. I feel like a little kid at Christmas time. So exciting.

I can't find roses_more_roses' page i looked hi and low and in the search box too. please please email me with your page link. Chris

Here is the link --

Oh Chris, I would also like to have some of each of those pumpkins. They sound WONDERFUL :)

And if you need me to email you a list of roses_more_roses wants, I have them :)

Kalena67 ,what do you give someone who has everything? You have no vegetables listed , don't you want any, pumpkins, perhaps, daikon radish, collards, snap peas, bush beans? Chris

Chris there is a thread I started that has clickable links to everyones want lists.Are you having a problem linking to it from there? Just in case you dont know about the list,I will link you to it! :)

pattygrow5 i cannot figure out from your list what vegrtables you would like , you have none listed! help

Hey there Grolikecrazy- Could I try the GIANT pumpkin as well? Thanks!

GO STEELERS
Patty

Hahahahahahahaha!!! Ooooh, no... you're not going to BELIEVE what just happened...

I read the joke to my husband while he was watching TV... he laughed and laughed and said he really liked that joke... Then, I proceed to ask him what that meant really, who did they just lose to? He didn't laugh at all because HE WAS WATCHING THAT VERY GAME THAT HE HAD RECORDED FROM EARLIER TONIGHT! Holy cow! I had NO idea how badly I just ruined his night!

Blessings,
Angela

Ahhh, Angela... that stinks! SORRY HONEY, I had NO idea, but you can STILL watch for the Highlights...

My best friend and her SO are Steelers Fans so I am sure they are happy...

OH Patty, thank goodness. I was SOOOOOO worried! I have been getting questions about it and was like I don't KNOW...now I do...hehe
Thanks for letting me know!
I am SOOOO excited about getting a package, I can't wait to get it...I feel like I did when I was little waiting for Christmas morning...

WOOHOOO and WOOT WOOT!!!

:) Fran

Hey Fran,had yall worried didnt I.When I saw it I knew Patty must have hit the wrong key.I thought ohno everyones going to kill me.I would not delay this robin,Im so excitedly awaiting to see what we all get.It is like a little kid at xmas...velvet

Chris I would LOVE some of your Musque de Provence pumpkin if you have any left! Thanks!!

Hope everyone's doing well, we've all had bad colds here, just takin' it easy and tryin to get well!

~Wendy

Chris, I would be interested in any tomato seeds that you may have extra of. My hubby and I were just talking about what to put in the veggie garden last night. My family likes canteloupe, watermelon, tomatoes, cumcumbers, and green beans. Would be interested in anything unusual, fun for the kids! But if you've got everything ready for Patty, or have it mailed, please don't worry about me!! I wasn't able to send to everyone either. I really wanted to though!!

Patty, I'm going to have my daughter mail off my seeds today. I'll post when they've made it to the P.O.

Have a good day everyone!
Karen

I planned on mailing out my package today, but read on another thread the the P.O.'s are closed today. I will have them out tomorrow.

Karen

My seeds are also ready but couldn't mail. I will mail first thing in the am! thanks, Melinda
