    We still have 13 days for sign ups. For the lurkers, if you would like to join remember our swaps are open to anyone, as long as you intend to send your part of the swap. :) No other stipulations here. :D

    Kathy, maybe the name thing is throwing them off like it did me at first? For those who don't have anything with Love, Heart, or Cupid in the name, here are some other suggestions:

    Red peppers
    Red tomatoes, or oxHEART tomatoes
    Scarlet runner beans
    Red noodle beans
    Beats
    Red lettuce
    Red carrots
    Red onions
    Red potatoes
    Red amaranth
    Red basil
    Strawberry popcorn
    Strawberries

    ... and then there's white cucumbers, white eggplant, white sweet corn, parsnips, and white pumpkins.

    Now I know you lurkers have some of these in your seedbox!

    Come on ... you know you want to join!!!

    Bonnie

  • bonechickchris

    also, anything red, white, or pink,,,,,

    something with the word sweet or sweetie for your "sweetheart"

    something that sounds romantic, like "midnight ruffles" lettuce, oh la la!

    Paris Island Lettuce, Paris, the city for lovers,

    if you use your imagination, it is really easy to find seeds to fit the theme! Christy

  • ncgardengirl
    15 years ago

    Well yes, now that you, Bonnie and Christy put it this way I could see myself joining...hehe. I didn't/don't have any edibles that say Love, Cupid, Valentine, or Heart in it's name so I thought I better not join I have no theme veggies...BUT I DO have white ones...lol and RED ones and maybe even PINK ones...hehe. NOW, I am concerned about whehter or not these are heirloom veggies....hehe
    I KNOW I KNOW, I am making it complicated...yeap that's me alrighty! Complicated.

    OK IF I join I would ask whom ever my parnter is to not send me anything other then seeds. I feel bad becasue I send seeds and then I get a box with other stuff in it...so, I would just request seeds and nothing more, not that I don't like other stuff, I just can't afford to send a lot all the time. oKey, DoKeY?

    That would work, just let your partner know when you send the email to get the needed info to work out your swap. :)

    15 years ago

    No Becky, I was comfy sitting on the side thank you...just a little water I will dry soon enough if you stop splashing! Keep the water in the pool! LOL.

    I do not make it to the store today!

    :( Fran

  • booberry85
    15 years ago

    Do we need a new game? I spy with my little eye....something in my living room. Ok, you have 20 yes/no questions to figure out what it is!

    Is it the dogs? ;)

  • dmboles
    15 years ago

    I joined the other one but I am certainly ready for this one too.....Hooray for the fun....Hmmmm, if I run out of the right kind of swaps maybe I can just rename some of those unknown seeds I have and send them; I would use appropriate names, something like "Maybe these are your Heart's Desire", "Cupid Dropped These" or "Red and White or Blue and Green, here are seeds I've Never Seen"....Wow! Just imagine the surprise and delight on my partner's face when they pull these out of the box..........Hello to everyone.....JD

  • booberry85
    15 years ago

    JD, clever thinking, but I think that would be mean to do to your partner.

    Kathy, no it's not the doggies. 19 yes / no questions left.

  • dmboles
    15 years ago

    LOL.....well, that throws a damper on my great idea...but I bet my partner is really going to be eager to see what type of surprise I send now.....don't worry... I promise to be good, maybe.....heeheehee....

  • highalttransplant

    Is it a princess castle dollhouse? Oh, wait, that's MY living room, LOL!

  • bonechickchris
    15 years ago

    ooooh, do you think we can get our partners for the cupid and sunny swap a few days early? Like maybe on the weekend? I really really want to put an order in but would like to know who my partners are first. Oh pretty please???????
    Sorry if I sound like a pain! Since this is the busiest time of the year for seed shipping, I wanted to get the orders out asap. I would really like for my partner to get their box BEFORE Valentine's Day, and thought the extra days made up waiting here for partners might help out a bit if we get our partners a few days early.

    I promise I won't beg anymore!Just this once? If everyone agrees, Christy

  • booberry85

    O hthank you soo much Kathy! Of course, I have no problem posting partners today! That would be awesome! I was hoping to get some orders out of the way before I get lost in tomato seed land for the next 3 weeks! Christy

  • highalttransplant

    Fine with me! I still need a couple of things for this swap, but if I knew who my partner was, it would make it easier to know what to get.

    Bonnie

  • patti1957

    Kathy,

    I would like to join. When do the seeds need to be sent and are they sent to my partner or to you?

    Thanks,
    Patti

  • bonechickchris
    15 years ago

    Hi Patti!

    Kathy will give us each a partner. And you and your partner send seeds and swap to each other only. It is not like the tomato swap where you need to send your seeds to a host.

    Actually, this is how we usually do swaps here at IE, with partners. The tomato swap was an exception.
    It is really fun swapping with a partner!

    Hope this helps! Happy you joined! Christy

  • patti1957

    This sounds like fun, thanks Christy.

    I'm ready whenever you guys are. I'm only on a couple times a day now, lol, so if I don't get to my partner immediately, I will within a day.
