corrine i am so excited! i am a seed junkie and will love anything you sent!

alana i am as usual runniing late, compounded by the fact that i thought that the biggest event of our dept was next week and it is this tuesday. ack. i am in co-charge of two committees so tomorrow is going to be nuts. i'm sorry. i will get it out to you as soon as i can :)

Annie(canyonwind)Your Heart will be in the mail on tuesday due to monday being a national holiday. This has been a fun swap.I have had surgery and I have kept my sister pretty busy since I have been at her for 5 weeks.Both of us are a little behind with our hearts but I must take the blame for Robin and me too. Happy Presidents Day To All!

Happy Presidents Day!!
Sorry I was MIA yesterday for Bingo. I was seed sowing all afternoon..teehee! :) It was a super awesome day! The kids and I managed to get 150 jiffies sowed. We are going to do some this morning too. This afternoon we're going to the zoo :)

Shirley and Ruby Bingo words are sent. :)

So glad to see all the packages flyin'.

Only 4 more bingo words left for me & 9 more days of February.

Did you all notice it's leap year? What are you doing on Feb. 29 -- your extra day? I've not decided yet because I'll be out of town at a conference for our camp Sun-Wed that week & not sure what energy I'll have left after our 3 hr + drive back home through traffic in 2 large cities. I wish the conference would end at a different time. Oh, well.

Yes, saving that coupon until the exp. date 3/31/12. I might feel "rich" and spend it later. Their prices on plants & supplies are a bit higher. Hellebores were 12.99 in a square pot taller & a bit larger than the standard 4" pot. At a local hardware store they were $8.99 I think. I most remember the heuchera because they were 4.99 at the hardware store & 2.99 at Fred Meyer compared to 8.99 at the nursery. They appeared the same plant material, pot, labels, etc. You have to be careful with plant lust while shopping there.

Have a great day,
Corrine

Vina, thanks for emailing the Bingo words - I have 5! Not that I ever win Bingo!
I'm trying to get some WS done today, it really feels strange because it is a beautiful day here, bright and sunshiny, at least 45 degrees. I've done all the salvias and agastache, and I have jugs for everything else except the milkweeds-will need to do some creative thinking for those!
Corrine - I love to go to the nurserys and see the high prices for plants that I've WSed for pennies!
Hey, back into it!
Shirley!

THANKS! FOR SENDING MY BINGO WORD LIST TO ME AGAIN, VINA.

Received my H-E-A-R-T package from Alana (poisondartfrog) - Girl, your wonderful package arrived in excellent shape, but nearly gave me a hernia carrying it into the house! I do declare your package is the heaviest I have yet received from a round robin, or any other GW swap! Small wonder why, considering the following contents:

From Alana's included list...

H is for Hummingbird-a tiny feeder is enclosed.
E is for Elephant's Ear, not so tiny as creatures go.
A is for Achillia millifolium, Red for Valentine's Day.
R is for Rosamond Coles, a Red Canna for your garden.
T is for Thunbergia alata, in this case Spanish Eyes.

The hummingbird feeder is really, really kewl! Smallish, yes, but brilliantly so, particularly considering we do not have any other hummer feeders hung-out at this time.
"Elephant's Ear" refers to a hefty, softball sized Elephant's Ear (Colocasia esculenta) corm that produces a plant with Big, BIG, heart shaped leaves! Just gotta figure where to plant it where it'll be most effective without overshadowing a whole lot of other stuff. Wow!

{{gwi:1244400}}. Gorgeous! :)

(3 big, heavy, glorious bulbs). Man-O-man,...these are beauties for true! Our neighbors will definitely appreciate gazing upon them as much as we!

. Y'know, I've had these seeds before, but I didn't get to keep any, owing to the fact that I gave and traded them all away to others. But now,...they're baaaaaack! Lovely! :)

Also, Alana included a generous amount of

seeds, seeds, a red floral accented expandable vase, and a ziplock full of Dove chocolates (instantly snagged by Elly nearly at the speed of light). Since I'm allergic to indoor flowers (and floral shampoos anymore), the expandable vase will be filled with the packaging alternate suggestion of "decorative gems or stones" and artificial flowers.

Alana,...you totally rock, girl! Thank you so much! Sorry it took me this many daze to post about your package, sincerely. I've been kinda messing-up a lot, lately. I always send on time, though.

Thank you so verrrrry much for all of the fantastic goodies, and for your creative attention to theme detail!

Incidently, y'all, the Elephant's Ear corm and hummingbird feeder were both swathed in red tissue paper. Nice touch!

Happy Tuesday! :)

Corrine, got your email. Such a wonderful idea for March. Love it!

Shirley, I totally agree. I love going to the greenhouses and looking over the price tags...and then saying "got that"... "got that". For pennies on what you would pay for the plant...and the best part, I can remember getting them in trades or Round Robins on the GW. That always make my plants more special. :) Last summer when I had the Master Gardeners do a class at my house, the biggest question was where do you get such variety? BIG SMILE I said the Garden Web of course :)

Wow! Cryptid! That sounds like an amazing package!

Went to the zoo yesterday. Had a great time! Today I'm taking the kids on a nature hike. I just can't believe we can do all these things in Feb. this year. This winter has been awesome! :)

Have a super day!
vina

good night every one! HAPPY TUESDAY!
At least I have 5 of the bingo words 5 to go.

OH Yeah, Vina, I havent heard from my prospective sender
yet. Does she know my address? I don't know who she is.

I received a TERRIFIC valentine from Shirley today!

She sent a very creative selection of goodies! First of all (and most importantly!) CHOCOLATE! YUM!!
And I guess I should post the other stuff she sent, too...
Hmm, is it polite to type with your mouth full??! LOL!!

H- Helenium seeds
E- End of the alphabet ZINNIA seeds and a baggie of ERASERS (great for homeschooling!)
A- Agastache apricot spritz seeds and A-B-C- folders (also wonderful for homeschool!!)
R-Rudbeckia cherry brandy seeds
T- Tithonia torch seeds and TEAbags

Thank you for a terrific Valentine, Shirley!

Melissa, glad you liked the HEART! I hope the chocolates weren't squished! Hope the seeds do well for you!
Vina, I was outside checking the gardens today, and I found myself thinking "How did that get here", and "where did that come from" and guess what, they were all from swaps and trades that I did over the past year! I got some really pretty plants. It's going to be exciting to see all of them blooming this year. I hope the Hardy Geranium comes back, it was from Rose, and the groundhog buried it while digging it's hole. I filled in the hole and can only hope the plant comes back. It was a beautiful lilac color. I did get some seeds. And all the iris's you and someone else sent are poking their heads up! So are the Salvias that Alana sent. And the squirrels didn't get the mini tulips and daffodils in the front bed! YES!!! One victory for me!
Shirley!

canyonwind your heart went out yesturday morning. I will send confirmation number in the morning.

No worries, Rose. It won't break my HEART.
Darrin, I am happy you enjoyed yours.
Alana

Good morning!

Ruby, I'll email Tawnee and let her know to contact you. Wow! 5 words, good for you! :)

Bunny, that sounds like a great heart! :) I love everyone's interpretations, so creative!

Shirley, big ditto on everything you said :) this site is terrific! I just sowed 75 more jiffies last night. I think 2 were from seeds I actually purchased...the rest from the GW :)

AND I received my HEART from Annie yesterday. I didn't get home till late in the afternoon and it was a welcome surprise waiting for me. :)
In my heart was:

H: Honesuckle Kiss: Goatsmilk Soap (WOW! Does this smell good!!)

E: Easy on the Lips: Rosemary Mint Lip Balm and Beauty Rush Lip Gloss (the Rosemary Mint is AMAZING!!!!)

A: Annie Loves: Strawberries and Champagne Body Butter (WOOHOO! Does this smell good!)

R: Red Bag of ?????: Mums: Bridal Robe, Coleus: Velvet Red, Tomato: Adventure, Tomato: Pink Oxheart, Lettuce: Spicy Gourmet Mix, Fenugreek, Valerian Officinalis your right it does smell good!, Ornamental Kale: Crane Pink, Ornamental Kale: Nagoya Red...wow what a great bag of ???? :0)

T: Tummy Yummies: A whole bag of CANDY! Twix, Snickers...chocolate...chocolate...chocolate...:0)

Two more for me. I can't believe someone hasn't had Bingo yet. I wondered if someone is forgetting to check.

Good luck all. Margo

I have 6 out of the 10 words, so still need 4. Hoping my HEART comes in today's mail as I'm leaving tomorrow until Wed. evening. I should have internet access, but naturally won't be able to open up a package that is at home. I don't think our son will be interested. He, he.

vina

I had both of those today, so now just 2 to go. I bet someone else is closer or will win today!

Vina, you've got me on edge waiting for another word.

I'm leaving for a conference today, but can check GW only at the lodge or large meeting room where I'm going because it's not available in our room. Asking (begging) our son to lend his because hubby's laptop from work is such a dinosaur it took 10 minutes to power up.

Corrine

One more letter and I will have Bingo. Must remember to check tomorrow and then if my last word isn't chosen, I will have to take my list with me. I am heading to my son and dil's house to dog sit for a few days. He called to tell me he spotted a coyote down in the gully behind their house. My daughter stayed Friday night and heard it howling. Oh goodie, now I am going to be creaped out after dark. Their smallest dog would be an appetizer. It wouldn't be so bad if they had a fenced in yard.

okay t's all packed up, i just have to pray i make it to the po before it closes! does anyone else live in a town where the po closes for lunch? when do they think people GO to the post office?

Happy Monday!

WOW! Traveling BINGO! lol. This game is getting interesting.

Corrine, have fun at your conference.

Margo, I couldn't agree with you more about the coyote's. When I was little they would be right in the horse pastures yipping when we would be in the barn bedding them down. Now, here they are again. You can here them across the road yipping like crazy at night. And worst of all, the kitty that I have been feeding for 2 years now is missing. Taylor named him Autumn, after a book she was reading, "For the Love of Autumn", a very cute book about a kitty. Anywhooooo he is NOT an indoor kitty, he loves the "wild". He would show up every morning for breakfast and every night for dinner. And that is about as close to him as we could get. But for the last week, nothing. I think he turned up a coyote dinner. Last night Taylor even left our back deck light on for him all night hoping he'd show. :( I am still hoping.

Rose, Our po closes for 1 1/2 hours for lunch. Who takes 1 1/2 hours for lunch? And I wonder if they are being paid for it?

Okay, now to some seriousness....BINGO! :D

According to the confirmation number I have for Ruby's HEART, she should be getting it today.

Hope she enjoys it!

That's my last word and unless someone is posting at the same time, I am the first to say

BINGO!!!!!!

Vina, can you double check and make sure I am right? Thanks

Margo

Congrats, Margo! :D

Well Margo, you came in for the kill again! Congrats on BINGO! My last word chosen was "Valentines" last Wednesday. I was patiently waiting for "Cupid", but it was not to be...LOL!

Vina, thanks again!

Happy Tuesday!!

Annie

Congrats, Margo!
I was waiting on cupid and holding hands.
This was a great swap, many thanks to Vina for hosting!
It's another really pretty day here today, I've already been out wandering around the flower beds, checking everything out. My Prairie Smoke made it thro the winter! Hasn't grown much, but they are at least still alive!
This is the fun time of year for me, seeing what all is coming back, and trying to remember what everything is!
Have a great day!
Shirley!

BEAUTIFUL, TUESDAY.WELL, I RECIEVED AN AWESOME HEART
PACKAGE FROM TAWNEE,AND CHEYENNE YESTURDAY.I GOT;
H-HEART CANDY/WIND CHIME
E-PEEPS HEART/APOLOGY NOTE
A-BATH SOAK/VALENTINE KABOB
R-CREME HEARTS/HEART CARD
T- LIST PAD/ STICKERS

I AM ALWAYS A SUCKER FOR CHOCOLATE AND THE LITTLE WIND CHIME IS JUST MY FAVORITE I LOVE BUTTER FLIES AND WINDHIMES,THE SPECIAL HOMEADE CARDS WERE VERY VERY SPECIAL TO MY HEART TO .THANKS SO MYCH TO TWANEE AND HER FAMILY FOR THE WONDERFUL PACKAGE.AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO VINA FOR A WONDERFUL SWAP.

Great job Margo! Thanks Vina for hosting & playing a great game. I was waiting on heart & holding hands. Keeping on the lookout for the words helped remind me to be loving others all month. I think I did more of the little things & took time to stop, squeeze a hand or hug & compliment more this month. A little love, laughter & appreciation sure makes life more fun for all of us and it is free!

Robin - did you have a DC number for the pkg sent? I'm not home, but our son said it didn't come yet as of Monday. I'll be back home on Wed.

Corrine

Congrats Margo for Bingo. I have been so busy and going to doctors that I haven't paid much attention to the game. Today I had an echo test and Thursday a heart cath test. Oh well for the golden age they say. Was looking forward to more winter sowing but I am not going to scrap snow just to get the jugs level on the ground so they don't tip. Hoping it will go away but there is another big storm coming on tomorrow night. Would be nice if the weatherman was wrong. Have a great day everyone!

Ellie

Happy Tuesday!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! :D MARGO!!! I double checked and you are the Big VALENTINE Bingo W~I~N~N~E~R :D

Can you please send me your addy and I will be getting out your Supa Dupa Prize this weekend.

Shirley, I was out the other day doing the same thing. Putting back my flower tags took longer than I thought with the ground still a little frozen. So I put them under rocks for safe keeping. I planted a tiny, I mean teeny tiny, little yellow foxglove baby that I got from a friend of mine. I was so astonished to see that it has at least tripled in size. It is planted in the back of the house, by the foundation, where there is very little snow and no wind. Is it possible that it could have grown over the winter? I was just shocked to see it.

Ruby, that sounds like a terrific HEART. Chocolate and Butterflies! What more could you ask for???

Corrine, your right! I love to laugh... and best of all IT'S FREE :D

Ellie, I hope your feeling better. There hasn't been that much of a winter to do "sowing". I do jiffies under lights, but have been wondering with such a mild winter are the ws'ing jugs outside bursting with bloom or are they not growing at all because they don't have the snow for insulation?

I also would like to remind everyone about the rate and review forum. We don't do it nearly enough on the round robin, and for some of the newbies, it really helps to establish them. Thanks!

Just waiting for a couple more and we can wrap this up :)

I just want to thank everyone for such a fantastic swap. You guys have made hostessing this month super fun. And I can't thank you enough.

Have a great day!

Ruby, I'm glad you enjoyed your HEART. And again..sorry it took so long.

Vina, thank you and I will send my address as soon as I finish my post.

First I want to say I hope we don't have any members who were in the line of that tornado in Branson, Missouri, last night or in the line of the damaging storms that are going through the country.

I made it to my son and dil's last night and all is well. Thank goodness for alarm system as I am always freaked out at unfamiliar places by myself. Not that three dogs aren't a good alarm system. I have not seen the coyote either but trust me, I don't stay out there that long.

We had storms here last night and they have one dog who freaks with storms but she did ok. More headed here today along with high winds. I hope there are no problems. At least it is bringing warmer temps. Still can't believe the mild winter we are having.

Stay safe everyone and thanks again to Vina for another great swap. Thanks for the reminder on the rate and review reminder. I totally forgot to rate the swaps this month and they were all fantastic.

My HEART arrived yesterday. It's been a challenging week with more to come, so it was a pleasant interruption. Rose appealed to my sweet tooth with dark chocolate covered Fortune Cookies, a heart shaped box of chocolates and a huge chocolate bar. Two duck bubble necklaces added a whimsical touch. There was some special soil for the very choice seeds she included, among them pink and yellow ladyslippers and chili peppers from Sweden. I am thrilled with them!

I know I have not done this fine box justice, but it was a very special one. Thanks!

Happy Thursday!

Alana, that sounds like a terrific heart! Those seeds sound very interesting.

The confirmation number for my package to Corrine is:0310 3490 0001 7972 7177.The post office site says it was delivered at 12:00 on 2/27/12.Please let us know if you got it!!!

Yes, Robin, I did get it when I arrived back home on Feb. 29. It was kept inside the camp office because it was such a large box it didn't fit inside our mailbox, so our son didn't know it had come! Robin, you went over & above on this box to me then the postage was over the top. WOW!

I don't know who was more excited me or my hubby when we opened it up...

Robin, how did you know we have a shady backyard? Last year, hubby became so excited about the bleeding hearts that he ordered Gold Heart at the hardware store near his parents while we were on vacation there and brought it home to plant in the backyard. The blooms lasted a long time & the plant did not go dormant until frost in fall. It was amazing! We have the corner on wet shade in our backyard & it's visible from the house, so the bleeding hearts are a hit!

The hummingbirds come to our back window & those little feeders will be perfect there. Maybe I will catch them on camera this year. I try every year, but miss.

Ageratum are deer resistant & put on such a lovely show that I'm excited to grow them myself along with the delphinium that fill out the garden so nicely with their fancy blooms.

Thanks Vina for hostessing & Robin for your super duper package,
Corrine

Happy Saturday!

Wow! That is a super HEART! Corrine those pics are just terrific!
