Spring Me a Surprise - Received...

15 years ago

Original Post:

Spring Me A Surprise

I thought this would be a great way to share extra seeds with those who are looking for specific seeds before spring gets here.

This is a surprise swap so please don't post who you are sending seeds to. You do not need to send seeds to join, just post your top 5 wants. If possible try and find at least one other to send to.

RULES:

1. Post your top 5 seed wants. The ones you really would like to have before spring gets here.

2. Send me your GW name and your address in an email. I will send out a spreadsheet of addresses by email on February 28th of all requests by GW name with their addresses so you can send seeds. Try to mail out the seeds during the first week of March.

3. Have Fun!

THANK YOU LINDA!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Hi everyone, I am so happy you are all enjoying the seeds I sent. I am enjoying mine too.
This swap has been so much fun. I tell my son when I pick him up that I have to go to the post office and he tells me, It's ok Mom, I know the routine..... You're obsessed. LOL

Tammy, I am glad you like my label cards. I wish I had had more ready for this swap, but I was running out. I print them myself using an old print shop program. The idea came to me in the middle of the night once and I started using them. I used to hate the little ziplock baggies. LOL I have even received a few back in trades.

It is supposed to rain tonight, but maybe tomorrow I can get some sowing done outdoors. I don't have any more indoor spots.........
Have a good night everyone.
thanks for all the seeds you have shared with me too.

Today I'd like to thank Kamil for the seeds I received today in the mail! He sent a cosmos mix, red turk's cap, scabiosa, marigolds, perennial lupine, and disco belle red hibiscus. THANKS KAMIL!!!

On another note, I came home today and found that my cats had been into the dried catnip. The small bag (about 4-6 ounces) had been ripped open and scattered all around the office. My 4-month old kitten was hanging around the refrigerator, and the 16-month old kitten (neither will be fully grown until they're 4 years old) was laying on the office printer, his eyes glazed, just enjoying life. If he were any mellower, he'd be wanting to go buy a bong! LOL!

Thanks Wendy (sassybutterfly)for the moon and stars watermelon seeds and the princess pine seeds. I love these little surprises, I didn't think that I would! But I'm beginning to get the hang of it, and it feels so good, it never fail to amaze me how people who's never seen me would be so caring as to send me gifts over and over again, from different swaps, you people are the best!
Chris
Mine are all packed now I just need to send them a few at a time...Chris

Wow, cards are pouring in.....

I'm still holding at two but I'm thrilled with what I got in them.

I'm not sure that all my cards made it to their homes, I do hope so.

Happy mailboxing all!

I received a bubbly envie from Robert too, and it had a copper hanging ornament in it. Thanks Robert! I've got it hanging outside already! I bought two just like it this past weekend, and now they're all outside, making the sunshine bounce around neighborhood!

Donna, it was you. I remember now! When I saw it I thought Ahhh, she thought of me! Thanks, I can't for the life of me remember what it was but thank you!
I will find that evelope as soon as I fix nooks to stick the rest of everything else somewhere! I did put it with my swap stuff I know that, but I haven't unpacked that stuff yet because NOW I have to find room for other things then I can play again!

Thanks again to everyone who sent to me!

I'm sorry my envelope got hurt Riley. Did you recieve other envelopes as well, I didnt notice you post anymore. If you didnt let me know, as I wouldnt want anyone in this swap to not get anything!!

Thanks to everyone who sent to me. I'm sorry, this week has been crazy, and I did not keep records of who sent me what.

A few of the things I recieved were:
pansies
sweet peas
easter egg plant
and lots of daylillies.

Thanks so much everyone!

Yotetrapper, its fine, dont worry! I'm glad you thought of me, so I wanted to make sure I thanked you for the thought anyway. Its been happening a lot with my postal service, we got a new lady and she doesnt come until almost 5 oclock now and everything lately has been all smashed. One of my bills came the other day and it was completely ripped open and all over. : ( It was kind of everyone who sent to me to share their seeds with me. I have been lurking around, I got a few things from this swap so I'm all set for spring! I planted too many seeds in my greenhouse already, I dont know what I'm going to do with them all until I can set them out! Guess I'll have to buy some bigger pots! Also, I have a question: Some of the people I want to send to I dont have their last names. Will the post office take it if the persons first name is on there only? That's why I am so late getting mine out because I wasn't sure if they would take them or not and I haven't gotten tot he post office lately to ask.

Riley,
The post office will still deliver them as long as you write out the address legibly. Sometimes we get letters with no name, or to "Grandma", and then we rely on the address to get it to the correct Grandma. So, go ahead and send those envies to the people with only one name, they'll get there. LOL!

Dan, your gardening mailman

I received a surprise today from Chris (grolikecrazy)! Thank you. :)

The plain letter envelope had holes in it- looks like it was damaged in transit. There was no bubble wrap or other padding inside of it to cushion the seeds. Seeds sent to me with no bubbles almost always do get destroyed like this, because the PO runs mail through some hard metal rollers unless it's in a bubble mailer marked FRAGILE in big red letters. :(

The Dianthus barbatus seeds were about 75% destroyed and the Red Noodle Yard Long Bean seeds were completely dust.

Thank you grolikecrazy, for kindly sending to me. I can still sow the few Dianthus seeds that made it, and hopefully get some plants! Excited about that. :)

I'm sorry this happened, Chris. You were so kind to send seeds to me.

I'm very glad you were thinking of me, and some of the Dianthus seeds do appear to be usable. It made my day to receive this, even if it is just a few seeds. : )

Thanks,
Grovespirit

Wondering why the surprises I mailed out haven't shown up here yet. I do hope they didn't get lost in the mail.
