I.E. Spring Fling Salad Bowl Swap

tl.graham
12 years ago

Hello all! This is the Spring Fling Salad Bowl Swap.

This swap is for all things you would use for salads. Veggies, fruits, and herbs. When I think of salad of course the standards.. lettuce, tomato, cucumbers, etc. There are endless possibilities! I also think of ingredients for other types of salads, broccoli, bell pepper, watermelon, honeydew, etc...

The sign up deadline is March 1st.

Seeds must be sent to me by March 7th.

I will send packages out by March 12th or before.

You may send seeds that are commercial, harvested by you or from trades. They must be clearly labeled with the variety name, how it was gathered and date, and your GW name.

Please include a list of what you sent in so I will not be returning the things you sent in. You can send in a list of some things you might like to receive and I will do my best but can not guarantee anything.

In your package you must include a list of what you are sending, a return label, and ample postage for the return trip. This must be sent in a bubble envelope. I will use the same envelope you sent your seeds in to return to you.

This is my first time hosting a swap, so I am sure I have missed some details. If you have questions please let me know.

Sign up here, and have your email available through garden web.

Thanks!

    It is 61 degrees here in Cleveland, just came in from turning over some of the garden plot. My plan is to expand it by another 15 feet x 20.. which will take up the entire back yard except for walking area. Of course, we shall see... big dreams.. big dreams. Nice to work up a sweat outside again! Sure wish it would stay this warm, though I'm afraid the summer will be too hot.

    My neighbors put their cats out at the end of fall (ugh) and they have taken a liking to pooping in the flower bed that spans the side of the house. Huge deposits!! Any idea how I might deter them and break this habit before I plant?? (besides giving the neighbor a swift kick in the pants)

    Thanks Susan. I'll be looking for it!

    Any last minute sign ups?? Join us!

    Just sent my words for Bingo.

    The country sure was hit hard yesterday. Thankfully, nothing ended up happening here other than rain. My heart goes out to those who were affected by those horrible tornadoes and I pray none of our members were victims.

    Cold here again today. Weekends are cold and then it warms up during the week. Margo

    Anyone Wintersow? I did for the first time this year.. the weather is being a little freaky, but luckily/not luckily ? I am not seeing anything yet. One day the weather will be almost 60 and the next will be almost 30. Supposed to snow flurry again tomorrow. So I don't know what I should be expecting. Hate to think I wasted all those seeds. Guess i am lucky in that I did not do anywhere close to a hundred+ jugs, just did 28.

(knock on wood) I have had a lot of fun going through the packages and I've been able to match up some of the wants you have sent. My daughter has been having a ball helping me. My husband on the other hand thinks I am crazy, especially when I told him this was a small swap. LOL

    Wow! I also have 2 words from my list. I think spring is coming here also...a few bulbs are starting to pop out. Seen a robin a couple of weeks ago but then we had snow again and he left. Today is the last nice day for awhile so guess stuck in the house again. Was nice to see sun though. Have a good weekend everyone!

    Corinne, sent you an email asking if you could send a copy of my Bingo words to me. I had a small note with them listed on it and it disappeared. I suspect our kitten started playing with it and carried it off. She tends to pick things up and carry them away when she plays. Thanks Margo
