Nancy

Hi! I'd like to join too I don't have a lot but I will send in with tomatoes and peppers for the other swap too. I would love to try some new veggies. Thank you for hosting! Amy

THIS SWAP IS A GO.

Please note that I have no problems having both swaps being shipped in same mailer. Just seperate each swap with bag. so if you send in seeds for both swaps you should send in two wish lists and two seed lists. One for each swap Example one seed list and one wish list for tomato pepper swap and one wish list and one seed list for squash it up swap.

SORRY I dont wish to bump up the amount of single varities sent in. The max 2 packs per variety will help so no one get too many duplicates.

If you have any question please post here so I can keep it straight.

This swap will have a max person sign up of 25 people.

Thanks,
Andrea

Haymay fix your garden web so members can email you. pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee It would make contacting you so my easier. I did send you info for swap but had to look through about 200 emails to do it.

Acres

Have 20 packets ready to go! Stayed up way past my bedtime packing them! It seems like I should have a few more pumpkin seeds around here somewhere. Couldn't put my hands on them last night. I'm going to hunt around for the seeds.
:)

Seeds are on the way :)

Seeds are in the mail! When I counted up the packets, I only had 19 though, not 20.

Please sign me up. I would also like to be in the tomato/pepper swap. Is it to late. I am not finding it, but I will go look more. Thanks. Nichol

Seeds are in the mail. Thanks, Amy

Wow diggindirt and amybabyboy3 you both are totally great for sending in early. I hate it when mailers are sent in late.

I was actually thinking of moving up the date the seeds have sent in by a week. But it may mess up a few other swaps. So just know mailers are filled in order of arrival so if I get your mailer last the selection of seeds may not be great. This is how I have done swaps for year and it seems to work out great. I do go through and make sure every one gets a few off there wish list.

gardenmom2 Your in :-) and thanks for fixing your email through the site.

Have a great weekend ya all

Acres

Ok silly question to most of you probably buttttt : are gourd seeds considered squash??????? Just wondering. Sorry for being kinda ditzy on that one.

gardenmom2, I was thinking of asking that the other day :) If it's not I might try hosting a gourd swap in a few weeks.

I hope to get my envelope out Monday.

Andrea

Yeah, I am about ready to mail out mine too, just wondered about the gourd thing though ?????? If not count me in on a gourd swap, too.

Are we posting out wish list and what we are sending in like the Acres Swap? Or are we just sending in a list to Tracy? I kind of wanted a clue of what kind of squash everyone had on their want list. I did not want to send stuff that no one was interested in.

Nancy

sorry! I meant "OUR"

Ok, if there is still room I wanna join in this one too:-)

Howdee there

What a weekend so far :-) My Acres Edible swap is comming to an end and I have been busy busy busy.

Gardenmom2- some gourds are squashes according to the quick search I did. My hubby wants to grow bird house gourds if you have them (hint hint) I will allow gourds in this swap because I guess gourds are sqaush.. LOL Who knew.

AndreaZ26wv - good luck with the gourd swap and thanks for the undate on the mailer.

LuvGardening2 - A wish list is a great idea. I have a few on my wish list on GW. The weirder the better.

Opie - Your in so get busy packing :-)

Dirtdiggin - Got your mailer. You did everything perfect, Thanks.

Remember you all. All mailers will be filled in order received. So the sooner your mailer gets here the better selection you get :)

Think that is it for now

Hurry and pack those mailers up

Acres

PurpleAcres - Thanks for answering on the gourds. I have a couple people sending me birdhouse gourds, so if I get them in I will share :) Who needs 50 of them anyway ??? If I don't get them in timeto send in for this trade, I will get them to you. Nichol

Tracy I was going to ask you about grouds too, yes they pretty much are squash some are actually edible...not to sure I would fancy that myself though...but wasn't sure and then I forgot..you know, it happens...lol.

:) Fran

I've actually eaten Birdhouse Gourds and Luffa's in their "young" stage and they are quite tasty. When I was little, my granny would grow the Birdhouse Gourds every year. We would eat most and she would save a couple for seeds. She told me when she was little, they saved the gourds to transport water.

Nancy

Ok I am all set to mail out. I only had 12 packs, but I guess it was better than nothin. Plus, I will get some different ones in return so that is alright. Goin out tomorrow. When I get my birdhouse gourds, I'll get them to you Acres. :)

Nichol

Nichol -- I just found birdhouse gourd at fred meyers half price sale woo hoo. I love sales.

Gourds are totally fine to send in for this swap. I just dont know for sure if i would eat them. MMMM yummy gourd just does not sound right

ACres

Congrats ! LOL Sales are the best. That probably beat me shipping them to you plus you may have enough to trade.

Well I guess I wont get the best selection LOL, I need to wait for my tomato envie to get here. AND my squash order.

Oh good news about gourds. I have some great seeds for those.

Andrea

Mine went in the mail today. They are in the same mailer with my tomato/peppers, but each swap is in its own bag :-)

Yes, I mailed mine out today too. I also combined both swaps but they are each in their own labeled ziplock bag for you. I may end up sending you more, just depends what I get in the next week, but I really did not want to wait too long so I could get a couple good ones. :)
Thanks, Nichol

my seeds went in the mail today!!!

OK, what the heck is a side trade? I don't think I've done one, but I'm sorry if I did.

A side trade is where you agree to send someone specific a certain seed choice and put their name on it. You then would include it in your swap enve and the host is expected to put it in the other person's enve (the person it is marked for). It saves the traders some postage, but it puts a litte more work on the hostess, plus some may feel it is not fair to not send something in to a swap instead just to one person. I am not saying that is how I feel, by the way, I am just explaining what it is :) Some like em some don't Some hostess say they are fine and some don't.

Pretty please may I join this swap also ? i just came from the tomatoes & peppers swap, and if all goes well , i'll be able to be in both! Chris

I have combined both the Acres 'tomato and pepper' swap and the Acres 'squash it up' swap post to one. The swaps are not combined just the posts. The link is below.

Here is a link that might be useful: new thread for both swaps
