Tammy

Sorry about the duplicate. Not sure why that happened it was acting funny when I submited it. Then closed out the browser automatically So I posted it again and wa-la there it was twice.

:-) Anyway - HAPPY VALINTINES DAY EVERYONE

Poison and Tammy-Great to have you with us.
Tammy we aren't choosing a list yet. We need to wait until the end of the sign up date. Then I'll post everyone's list and then you can choose. So you'll have to wait until Feb. 21st. I know it's hard. LOL
Mariann

Uh oh! I almost picked one myself before I read your post Mariann. The "everyone who signs up must pick whose seeds they want" followed by "first come first served, check back often" sounds like you need to choose as soon as you see something you like.
Thank you for clarifying! That puts a new and interesting twist on it....even more fun!
Alana

I am soo sorry.

I was thinking it was "first come first served" in as soon as you see wht you want you better grab it. I didn't mean to pick out of line.

I had thought the others just didn't pick because they were waiting for a list that was "just right"

Thanks for correcting me. I will definately wait and keep my fingers crossed.

Tammy

I'm in!!

Here is my list (I do not have many veggies yet)

Amaranth 'Intense Purple'
Calendula 'Kablouna Gold'
Lupinus 'Dwarf Fairy Pink'
Marigold 'Mr. Majestic'
Marigold 'Starfire'
Morning Glory 'Grandpa Otts'
Morning Glory 'Scarlet O Hara'
Nigella 'Miss Jeckyll'

Jeanne

Tammy and Alana-Sorry I confused you. I went back and read what I wrote and it does sound a little cryptic.LOL

Karen, Jeanne and Linda-I'm so happy all of you signed up! I think this will be fun.

Just to clarify for everyone. Sign-ups will be taken until Feb.21st. Then I'll post everyone's seed list. After that you'll have until Feb. 28th to choose who's seeds you want. The reason I said to check back often is so that you'll have an opportunity to see what seed lists are posted.
Hugs,
Mariann

thanks mariann for doing the post, I'm starting to feel a little bit more possitive, I just always get kinda down in feb I want it to warm up so bad, and the sudden cold spells are depressing. at least I still have my seed swap to keep me buisy.
by next month I will have so many seed trays started I will be buisy indeed.
nice to see so many sign ups, welcome back and welcome.
michelle

What great lists everyone is posting! It will be fun to see how it all plays out once the game begins.
Mine is all ready to go.
Thanks to Mariann and Michelle for thinking of it.
Alana

I'm back to post the seeds I will be sending:

Licorice Basil
Geum 'Lady Stratheden'
Tithonia
Pink and Yellow Lantana
Nanho Blue Butterfly Bush
Rose Campion (fuschia)
Elephant Head Amaranthus
Stokes Aster (a bluish-purple flower)
Eupatorium rugosum 'Chocolate"
Tomato 'Italian Ice'

I hope someone will enjoy them. Most of these are saved from my garden. I hope that is okay. Also, a few are from trades. I think only one - the tomato - is a commercial seed purchase.

Jeanne

Shelly-Nice to have you here.

The seeds posted are really great. I can't make up my mind.
Well we have a few more days for sign ups.

Michelle-I'm glad you're doing better. I get the winter blues too. It's like a big weight on my shoulders. I just keep thinking Spring.

I have seeds to start this weekend. They need to be started 10-12 weeks before I can plant them outside. Anyone else starting seeds soon???
Hugs

I just started a bunch of my peppers and tomatoes. And a ton of other stuff (that I know I started too soon but just couldn't stop myself)

Tammy

Mariann, I have a BUNCH of stuff that needs cold to germinate. If they dont get out there soon it will be too late for me and I feel like I just can't catch-up of getting them all planted, someone said 'Fran, don't worry about trying to plant them all this winter/spring you can save some for the NEXT WSing period' BUT I WANT to do them ALL now! LOL
I want to see what the all will look like, to watch them grow, to watch them mature so they can bloom! I am impatient! LOL.
I know I have to chill...lol

Oh, I DO have my list picked at the moment. I just hope I can get the one I spy...hehe
:) Fran

I am just about finished with seeds for spring planting, so what ever I collect from this swap will go in the box till next year! Just a few annuals and warm season veggies left to do. I am off to lowes this morning to pick up more soil, most of my seedlings need to be potted UP now..... also looking for good feed for the perennials and tropicals which have their second leaf pair.

;)

I'll join for this month! I won't be able to post my list until Saturday is that ok?

Sue G.

This swap sounds great, I'm in!

I have to share:
Cantaloupe: hearts of gold and ambrosia
polygonum kiss me over the garden gate
money plant
basil: licorice, cinnamon, and Minette
feverfew
shoofly
joe pye weed
chinese lanterns
japanese white hull less(sp? hulless?) popcorn
and purple top white globe turnips

Sue-That's fine about posting your seeds tomorrow. After you do I'll put up the list of everyone's seeds then we can start choosing.

Tammy-You're a little warmer down there in MD. Two years ago I got spring fever so badly that I started my peppers and tomatoes to early. They were so tall that I couldn't adjust my grow lights any more. The leaves were getting burnt and I was relieved to finally get them in the ground.

Fran-You could always put the seeds in the refrigerator. My DH tolerates me doing things like that. I don't think he likes it much though. I did give him a houseplant to take care of. It's a 26 year old Spath. He knows when to water it and calls it Ralph!LOL He's so funny.

Frances-Maybe you could come over and start my seeds...LOL I'm way behind. Didn't even do any WS.

Riley-Welcome to the Group! Very nice list. Great herbs.
Have a great day
Mariann

Fran, you are so much like me when you said "BUT I WANT to do them ALL now!" I have pulled out seeds from my boxes and bagged them thinking these are the ones I will winter sow, but there are way to many in there for me to manage all of them this year. I sow very little after I winter sow - so the seeds either need to make it into winter sowing or they wait a year (--- well, some obviously get swapped, too --- LOL.) The good news is that I don't have many problems with older seeds. Of course, I tend to dump the whole pack into my milk jugs so there are usually lots of seedlings in there.
Well, back to the seeds for this swap, I haven't taken time to decide which ones I would prefer so I'd better "go in reserve" and read the lists so I will be ready for tomorrow!
Have a good day!
Jeanne

lol

Jeanne and Fran
I couldn't agree more, get it done and move on to the next thing.... this IS our cold time, if we are lucky we will get a month of really spectacular 'spring like' weather after the cold and then it will be hot and (probably) dry. Seeds really don't have much hope once hot and dry gets here. Best to get all but the hot season plants strong and well established before the water restrictions kick in!

Mariann, if your tomatoes get too tall, cut them back, it makes them much stronger. I do this because my space indoors is very limited. I keep potting up and keeping the top growth trimmed back, so when I plant them out they will have big roots and small tops, they catch up in no time when they are in the garden!

So many plants so little time!

Frances

I'll play!!!! Let me check my stock of annual seeds!
I will post my "You Pick List of Ten" tonight or in the morning. OK??????

Looks like a lot of heirloom veggies and cottage gardeners...right down my alley! A B-I-G thanks to Michelle (micyrey) and Mariann (galium)for putting this on!

Shelly

***Bumping everyone to get in the front of the line***
