If someone sends in less than ten seeds I'll take the small packs two or three seeds, my squash germination rate is great and the plants are so large I only grow five squash plants per season.

FYI my seed should arrive on Friday, not Saturday I read the tracking number wrong

Hi Francesca l have 4 packs of Waltham butternut that I didn't mail because they won't arrive by Sat. If you need them let me know and I will send them off.

^^^We have plenty!
There are certainly a LOT of varieties we ended up with. I hope to do this again next year and see how many more varieties we end up with! Of course many of the rarer types we ended up with only a small packet or two, and a few packets have 5 or less seeds. But I tried to get a good variety for every one and I hope you will all be happy with what you end up with!

Ok, tomorrow--Saturday--is the LAST DAY to send in your package! Sorry, no later postmarked packages. If you have one in the mail and haven't let me know, please do so, so I know to expect it! There are a few who said they'd like to participate that I have not received a package from. If you're planning on sending one (and can drop it in the mail Saturday) let me know!

Happy trading.

I thought my pattypan mix wasn't desired and even got a few more squash that are on several people's wishes, since I originally asked. I didn't get a response for a while, so I stopped following this thread, or I would've had my seeds ready to send in. Now, I'm kicking myself! I hope there's still time to get my small package off that might bless some of y'all. If not, it's my bad for getting my feelings hurt and not continuing to follow the thread. Grrrr... I'm so mad at myself right now! If it's not too late, please, send me your address fresc1000, so I can mail tomorrow.

My original wish list won't let me edit anymore.

I just barely made the cut off, but my seeds are officially in the mail. I wish I had a little more time and I could've sent more. I'll know better next time. Thanks so much for having me!

Wish List

Kabocha squash

Pumpkins - all different sizes/colors

We prefer heirloom types of summer and winter squash. We don't eat the varieties that taste similar to sweet potatoes or pumpkins often, so those are less desirable to us. We prefer the nutty flavors in winter squash and just about any summer squash, but we aren't growing gourds or ornamentals. We are growing different types for just their seeds as a nutritious snack, so good for seeds varieties are much appreciated. Here's a list of some things we'd enjoy, but we certainly aren't limited to these!

Rugosa Friulana

Lemon

Patisson Strie MeLange

Patisson Golden Marbre

Black Futso

Marina Di Chioggia

Miranda

Lady Godiva

Pipian From Tuxpan

Piacentina

Improved Blue Hubbard

Jumbo Pink Banana

Cocozelle

Golden Zucchini

Waltham Butternut

I know some of these are a long shot, but I put them down anyways just in case someone sent a few in. I don't mind even a few seeds of any of the above. Thanks again for hosting an awesome swap!

Got your seed envie Angela!

Happy Saint Patrick 's day

I am not going to post a wish list this time. I wanna be surprised!! Just send me a good variety of mainly squash, some pumpkin, and a few gourds. Thank You for hosting this swap! And a Thank You to all who have sent in a great variety of seeds! Wow!

Have a Beautiful day Everyone!

Tammy

Seeds are in the process of being packed up and should be sent out Saturday!

I'm with Tammy... surprise me! There's a lot of fun varieties and a lot that are new to me so the excitement is mounting!!!

Dawn

All envies are in the mail! Phew, the clerk was super helpful, but I still am nervous that something went wrong somewhere!

If you live in OH or PA, your package will reach you by Monday. All other states will be Tuesday. Email me if you'd like your tracking #.

Let me know when your packs arrive safely, and I would also appreciate any feedback you can give me, positive or negative, as this was my first time hosting.

Enjoy your seeds!

Fresc1000, thank you for all your hard work pulling off this awesome swap! I got my seeds yesterday and went through them last night. I'm very happy and excited to grow these. For your first swap, I'm amazed at how quickly you got everything done. I have no complaints or even suggestions for you as it appears you did quite well to me! The only thing I'll comment on was that my package was open on one end where the tape didn't seem to be sealed well. I don't think any seed packs fell out, though, but I wanted you to know in case it helps you prepare for your next swap that you host.

Fresc1000 ~ Rec'd my package about two hours ago. Thank YOU for hosting and for giving me variety of squash/pumpkins 2 try. Have a Fantastic Tuesday everyone :)

My mail just came and no package so I sent you an email to get a tracking number sorry to bother you but my post office is a pill.

Oh Fresc1000! You spoiled me beyond belief! Thank you so much! The varieties are incredible and many I know nothing about... Let the research begin on this snowy/rainy evening. A side note- hubby rolled his eyes when he saw eggplant seeds in the pack. One of these years he'll decide he likes it so until then, I'd better keep growing it :)

Thank you so much Fresc1000! I was pleasantly surprised with variety. I can't wait to get started planting. I was so excited after the mail run yesterday that I had to get on computer and look some up. So that is why I am just now letting you know I received them.

Thanks again for hosting this!.

Have a beautiful day!

Tammy

Thank you thank you, thank you. This is the pumpkin patch ohof my dreams. I quickly planted some squash and pumpkin to grill on the fourth of July.

Going to plant four types every two months until July.

Thanks for hosting I learned so much about squash for this exchange

I thought my seeds might arrive today (Wednesday) but no luck. I live in Ohio so thought it was to arrive on Monday.

I'm in PA and mine just arrived. So many seeds. Thank you!

Glad to hear you guys were happy with the results! I did split a few packets of the rarer varieties, so I know some of you have a few packs with only 3-5 seeds. But hopefully they will grow well for you and you can pass the seeds along to others.
Angela-sorry to hear yours was opened...I watched the clerk tape up each pack, and there was one I thought she was a little too sparing on...must have been yours. But hopefully they all made it to you.
Mary, I just checked your tracking # and it says for some reason yours was delayed. Hopefully it makes it to you soon!
Connie, I can't even get my peas in the ground this early--I can't imagine being able to start squash. Lucky you! We got more snow today here in MI. I almost cried.
Happy gardening!

Hello Mine came today. Oh what to grow. Thank you

Thank you this was a wonderful swap we got snow yesterday so I understand about not being able to plant anytime soon thank you for hosting I was so excited to see all my variety of seeds one of the best swaps yet happy planting!!!!!

I forgot to mention, if any of you grow the butternut rugosa violina, let me know how they turn out. I got those seeds from Baker Creek, and they were the most prolific, tastiest butternuts I have ever grown. But none of mine were very "bumpy", so I am curious to see if it was my growing conditions or if others will have similar results.

My seeds arrived yesterday. I love them!! such a great variety of seeds.

Great swap. Francesca thank you so much for hosting and hope you host again next year. Thank you to all who shared their seeds.

Have a great year.

Kathy J.

Yippeeee! My seeds arrived yesterday, and what a wonderful selection! I need to research a few of these which is always fun. Thank you so much to Francesca for hosting a fantastic swap and to everyone who contributed seeds.

Well, now that the season is coming to harvest, any one want to share successes or failures with their seeds?
I got a lot of neat varieties. My favorite was the jumbo pink banana squash--I took 2 seeds and gave the rest away in the swap. From those two seeds I got 10 or more HUGE pink squashes that are just delicious cooked. Would love to see pics of everyone's results!

Pet squash bigger than pet dog! :)

That's a nice one! I sent some Jumbo Pink Banana seeds in the swap. My son said we needed a log splitter to cut them! They work great in pumpkin bread recipes - just bake and cool in the fridge, then bag into pt. bags (2 C. just fit for my recipe). The cooked squash stays a beautiful orange after being frozen too.

I'm going to have to try those again. I must've cooked it wrong last year because what I did was not good.

Midwest I am pretty sure these were from your seeds!

Can't recall what my biggest one weighed, but I figured it was enough to make 32 loaves of pumpkin bread! Everyone who has tasted it says it's the best they've ever had.
