| Good Morning GW!
As a brand new member here, I thought I would jump in both feet first and arms flailing about ridiculously. First a little about myself, I am pretty new to having my very own garden. I grew up helping both my grandparents and my parents in their gardens, but last year was the first I planted my very own. It was a simple garden because I wanted to start off slow and didn�t have much money to invest in seeds. This year, I am going all out, taking these dreary winter months to plan my garden down to the very tiniest detail. I am so very excited and thankful to all of you how have helped out by offering seeds through SASE or adoption (thanks again dem_pa)! Now on to the exchange! I would like to host an Herb exchange. There will be a minimum of 5 packs of seeds for any type of herb, only 3 pack of the same herb are allowed. All packs must be clearly labeled and packed in a bubble envelope. Please include enough seeds, and remember that what you give is what you get back. Include with your seeds: enough postage for me to mail it back to you, a label with your address, a wish list and a sent list (so that I can try to send you something different than what you sent in), and please include your name, GW name, and e-mail address so that I can track everything. Finally, the deadline to sign-up is the 22nd and you must mail your seeds by February 1st. I am so excited and eager to host this exchange (please let me know if I am missing anything.) Blessings,

| I'll sign up too. I'm pretty sure that mine are just culinary and fairly common ones at that. Will that be ok???? Bethb |

| Welcome! |
|
| My package, although small, is going out tomorrow. I don't do as much in culinary as I do in medicinal. They should be enjoyed by someone. Thanks for hosting Jay, smitties |

| I've just been reading the beautiful book "Heirloom Herbs" and discovered that several of my flowers are also considered "Herbs". That adds a couple to the packet I'll be mailing out today. Herbs seem to resist the bunnies better than a lot of other stuff so I hope to try some new ones. bb |
|
| I would love to join too! I've been trying to collect a nice herb garden & have a couple extra packets that I could swap. |

| Well, I have yet to receive some of your bubblies (I am assuming they've been delayed because of all of the snow. However I don't want to delay the participants that I have gotten, so, I am going to do this in two rounds. Smitties, flowergirl, naturegirl, beth_b_kodiak, and sassybutterfly will swap; and when I get the bubblies from jessew, celeegra, linda, and bramble I will swap them. I hope this is ok by everyone! I'm so excited for you to get your herbs! Blessings! Jay |

| Well, have you heard from the other participants yet? Personally, I think it'd be better for everyone if we wait til all the envies have arrived, but I'm game either way! lol Just wondered if you've been in contact with the others or not. ~Wendy |
|
| They haven't arrived yet? Our mail has been fine here, but I know there have been problems other places. I've got my fingers crossed-please let me know when they arrive |
|
- Posted by beth_b_kodiak zone 7 (My Page) on Sat, Feb 5, 11 at 18:28
| Maybe Monday,IT's worth waiting another day or two. Though, I'm like Wendy, either way is OK with me. BB |
|
| Well we've definitely had our share of snowstorms this winter. Still I'm surprised that you haven't gotten mine yet. Well either way I'm ok thanks, grace |
|
- Posted by brambleoak 4 - WI (My Page) on Mon, Feb 7, 11 at 16:19
| Surprised mine hasn't arrived yet either. :( Thanks for your patience tho.... |
|
| I don't mind waiting if you haven't sent any packages yet. You should be getting the other packages any day now. Just let me know when they go out. I can't plant for a while anyway. :) Thanks Margo |

| Hello All! Ok so after my last posting, I recieved celeegra's and jesse's that same day. I figured I'd wait until Monday, and sure enough bramble's came in. Linda has withdrawn from the exchange. Now I am ready to swap! I will have your bubblies out in the mail by this weekend. Just a little forwarning, there have been alot of the same types of seed sent in, feverfew, parsley, basil, etc. I am trying to send you back a different variety, but I just wanted to give you a head's up. It seems we all have very similar herbs. I promise that you will get something new though. Blessings, |

| G'morning everyone! I have some herb questions if anyone would like to chime in... What herbs grow best in part/shade? I have 3 already made beds that were here when I moved into this house but 2 are part shade and 1 is very dappled shade. It's closest to the kitchen so I would LOVE to have some herbs growing in it. Does anyone have any experience growing any herbs in p/s? Also, is it just me, or is Comfrey SEED really hard to find!?! lol Thanks! |

|
| Jay I was wondering if you sent the envelopes last weekend? I have not received anything as of yet. I am beginning my seed planting and anxious to get the herbs started. Could you give us an update. Thanks Smitties |

| Hello all! I am sorry for kinda falling away. I had a family issue that needed to be dealt with. I am glad that some of you have recieved your seeds and are enjoying them! I hope that you all got something that you had wanted or something new to you. If you haven't, would you please post to let me know that you have recieved your bubblie. Thanks and enjoy your herbs! smitties - |

| Hey Ho Hum! You can check me off the list...I got mine :) A little funny though. I sent the reg. envie with my addy on it so you could tape it to my bubble envie. When I got just the envie back at first I looked at it and said "wow!" someone has handwriting just like me :) The seeds were fine, but it sure made me chuckle. Thanks again for hosting! |
