UPDATE: April showers bring May flowers

jaynine

Since the first thread is full and starting to get lost, I thought I'd start a new one. Here's where we left off:

Because a lot of us are waiting for other Round Robin packages to come in, Connie asked:

"why doesn't everyone post their thoughts here and I can place them next to your name-

1) your want list is ready for people to review

2) please wait until march 1st

sound ok?"

So far, poisondartfrog, yotetrapper and I have chosen to ask people to wait for our updates.

Connie also asked:

"would u like to receive an email with a word document of everyone's want list. I will be putting one together for myself so it would be easy for me to send it out, if desired."

Yes, I'd like one, please. Thanks!

Here is a link that might be useful: first thread April showers

    My wish list is updated. I removed the lists for previous swaps-that does not mean I have received them all, just that I decided it was time to get a new list! I got tired of seeing that one.
    Have a great week!

    my list is ready.

  • poisondartfrog

    I have not had a chance to go back and see who claimed the last seeds I posted, but I will send them to the first responders unless there are several seeds and those I will try to split.
    I have a precise order I sow in and never go back if I don't have germination unless it is something I contracted to grow, so I would rather parse out the leftovers than store them for next year if the amounts are small. If anyone objects, I won't do this. I don't want to appear to be "dumping" seeds, but it is neat to be able to find them homes.
    I hope everyone has great weather today! I will be sowing all day, and I am anxious to get started.

    Alana, if by any chance you still have a few canna seeds, would you please mark them for me. Especially the city of portland seeds. Thanks, Linda

  • conniesc
    15 years ago

    everyone should have received an email from me. PLease let me know if u did not receive it.

  • nikkineel

    Got it! Thanks, Connie. I'm snowed in so maybe this will keep me busy for a while:)

  • rosepedal

    Thanks connie I received it too. I need to get my butt in gear...Have a good day everybody.....Barb

  • southerncharm1

    Connie, I didn't receive the email.

  • poisondartfrog
    15 years ago

    Does anyone want a few seeds of Hibiscus cannabinus L. Gregg? I have about a dozen seeds left over so probably enough for 2 folks if more than one is interested.
    Also have a few seeds of Hyssopus officianalis, Nectar Blue left over. There are about 20 seeds. Germination has been near 100% so probably enough for two of these as well.
    Alana

  • chitownladyd

    Alana, I would really appreciate the Hibiscus seeds. Wow this time I didn't miss out, at least I hope I didn't!?

    Thanks,

  • highalttransplant

    Got your email, Connie. Thanks for sending everyone's lists. I've looked over all of them, and have things from almost everyone's lists. I'll start gathering the seeds together.

    Oh, and I think Grolikecrazy should get a prize for the longest wishlist EVER, LOL!!!

    Bonnie

  • conniesc
    15 years ago

    alana, I would love to try both of them.

  • sassybutterfly_2008
    15 years ago

    You mean Grolikecrazy's list is longer than mine??? LOL :P

    I had hoped I'd be able to update my list after Fran's swap but that was crazy thinking on my part.. :) I did just update the veggie want portion tho, if that helps any :)

    Hope everyone is doing well!

  • poisondartfrog

    Could someone pelase tell me the deadline for this swap?

  • ibartoo
    15 years ago

    It was 22 yesterday and colder this morning, but by this weekend it should be 70! I can't wait to start planting.
    I know some of you are burried in snow, but here it is just cold.
    I will keep looking at wishlists hoping to find something for everyone. Have a great day, Linda

  • lindaruzicka
    15 years ago

    the deadline is March 31st, yotetrapper...

  • grolikecrazy
    15 years ago

    I'm here, been crazily wintersowing.
    An email with a word document of everyone's want list would be wonderful.
    i have a few swaps that are winding to a close that need all my attention, so i'll check back in a few. Chris

  • conniesc

    GroLikeCrazy, did u not get the 2 emails I sent with all the documents?

  • rosepedal
    15 years ago

    Goodmorning everybody!

    Wanted to wish you all a good day :) Barb

  • highalttransplant
    15 years ago

    Whew! I spent the entire morning going through wishlists and seed boxes. I wish I had something on everyone's list, but there were a couple of folks with some pretty tough lists, LOL. I did end up with 40 packet of seeds to send though, which is more than I thought I would have.

    The packet will go out this afternoon.

    Thanks for hosting, Connie! I think you're going to be pretty busy sorting out everyone's seeds!

    Thought I was on the Spring Surprise thread still.. LOL

    Maybe I need to take a break! :P

    ~Wendy

  • yotetrapper
    15 years ago

    Whew I got a little time. I'm getting overwhelmed. Too many swaps! I'm down to this one now, and the spring surprise one. I've been trying to wintersow, starting seeds inside, clearing garden areas (was 70 today!!!), cooking, cleaning, working overtime every week, and now on top of it all, it's chick incubating time!

    I put 7 Cayuga duck eggs in the incubator today, and 24+ blue laced red wyandotte chicken eggs will be going in next week. Oh, and I need to start construction on the pig pen, and finish contruction on the chicken breeding pens. There's not enough time in the day!

    Hey Yote! Can I please have some of that energy you've got! Sounds like you never stop!

    Wendy, wrong thread huh??? I don't even know what to sat to that one! LOL

    I'll check back in a few days!

    Vic

  • yotetrapper
    15 years ago

    Energy...ha! Most days it's all I can do to drag myself out of bed. This is the last swap I'll be in for awhile.

  • gardenmom2
    15 years ago

    Wendy, I know what you mean. I keep confusing myself with dates, and who and what I am mailing to whom. I finally made a list, but I still have to keep checking in. LOL

    yote-you must have so much energy to be goin all of that. I have been outside all day. I cleared 3 squarefoot beds, dug a couple of prickly weeds out for the kids, cleaned out the back room (behind the garage where I tart seeds and keep baby chicks until bigger), planted, pruned 2 apple trees as best I can and worked on a rose bush. I need hubbies hlp for the appletrees, but did get some of it done. I am exhausted and my armshurt sooo bad.

    We have 4 buff orphington 5 rhode island red, 2 black sex link and 2 aracauna chicks in the back room. They are under the heat lamp and in a large rubbermaid bin. I am planting more seeds if I can ever get up but I don't think I should have sat down. Maybe I will take some advil b/c I think if I don't i won't move the rest of the day.

    Wow am I out of shape. That is shameful.

  • conniesc
    15 years ago

    I hope not, I am working off of the documents I emailed out to everyone. I guess we should post here if there are changes at this point. That was a great question.
