    I have rec'd 3 emails that stated seed swap or seed trade or something similar. One even had the GW in the name. They were NOT trades but spam. One was porn. YUCK !! I just deleted and added to spam, but I was nervous b/c I am afraid if I add to spam, it will start to block real emailes from GW>

    I'm done, and with a week to spare!!! Just finished packing everything up. I tried hard to keep it organized, since both swaps are going in the same box. I'll post the DC# after I run by the post office.

    Becky, your box went out this morning. The DC# 0304 1560 0000 7337 7990.

    I think I'm just as excited about getting some new recipes as I am the seeds! Just curious, how do you guys store/organize your recipes?

    Boo hoo....
    I have been waiting on seeds guess I better send what I have and hope it is enough. I ordered from Reimerseeds...then, after I placed the order I looked at the feedback on google ..big mistake!@! # 89 bad feed backs..this may have been a bad idea.
    I have some seeds and am sending tomorrow morning sorry Mary was hoping they would come.
    I have been busy and lurking off and on,so I have seen others having the same problem with orders coming in not making my life any easier.

    Polly, you might want to email Mary before you send. She might be willing to wait if they are things on her wishlist. Just a thought.

    Well, I received my box from Becky (Booberry85) today. Most of the goodies I listed on the Splendid Salads swap thread, but there was one thing I forgot to mention, a cute little stuffed tomato. We have the book that the character came from, but I have never seen them for sale, how perfect. Both the 5 year old, and the 2 year old want it, so for now it's sitting in the window with my pots of herbs.

    Recipes:
    Chunky Basil Pasta Sauce (canning recipe)
    Zucchini Casserole
    Jambalaya (2 different recipes)
    Stuffed Patty Pan Squash
    Shrimp Creole
    Dirty Rice
    Crawfish Etouffee

    Seeds:
    Tomato, Purple Russian
    Tomato, Black from Tula
    Tomato, Crimson Cushion Beefsteak
    Tomato, Delicious
    (very excited about all of the tomatoes!!!)
    Bean, Topnotch Golden Wax
    Cantaloupe, Minnesota Midget (perfect for my small garden!)
    Squash, Costata Romanesco
    Zucchini, bush
    Squash, Green Patty Pan (I sent you the exact same one, LOL!)
    Pepper, Marconi Red (this one was on my wishlist!)
    Cauliflower, Purple of Sicily (I really wanted this one, thanks!)
    Basil, Thai (I have several kinds of basil, but this is one I didn't have)

    Awesome seed variety! Thank you very much!!!

    Hi Mouse. Another easy one to sign up for would be the purple seed swap. It is only 10 packets so it is pretty easy. Of course I am an addict now,though, so I am just enabling, I mean er, helping you out.

    I always read at least the first couple posts and sometimes the entire thread to see if I am interested n the swap. Even if you don't join, I have learned a lot from reading abot everyone. Sometimes you learn about the others you see in alot of other swaps, sometimes you learn about gardenng andsometimes you learn about life in general. I love it all.

    Hope to see you in more swaps. Hopefully you got your seeds today.

    Nichol, that couldn't have been said any better. I think all of that is part of the addiction too, not just the seeds but everything else you learn and all the wonderful people you get to befriend. :)

    Thought I posted here yesterday, but can't find it! Mary & Kamil, great job on your swaps! Kamil, Halushki isn't a common recipe. Are you Eastern European? Polish maybe? Me too! I'm all Eastern European.

    Wendy , thanks for the correction. Kamil, you're definitely in the minority being a young adult male, but we love having you as a part of our group!

    Melissa, it looks like you're set to start up a little seeds shop & restaurant!

    I hope everyone had a lovely Easter weekend. I was nursing a cold along w/ my son, and on Saturday evening I realized I was also dealing w/ kidney stones.. so that was a LONGGGGGGG night... Sunday we were to have a bday dinner at my brother's house to celebrate Easter and his and my bday from this past week. I managed to last about an hour and then I had to head home I was in sooo much pain! Ended up going to the ER and they just basically confirmed that I had kidney stones and gave me pain meds. However the pain meds make me nauseous.. I'll just be glad when this is over!

    I might be around tomorrow but after that I will be off for about a week or two. Have to pay the ER bill instead of the cable bill this week so we won't get the internet back up til around the 1st. Just wanted to let you know so you didn't think I'd just disappeared! Tracy I do hope you receive your box soon and I hope you enjoy all the goodies! TY again for a wonderful package!

    Have a great week everyone!
