Hello

welcome to Incredible Edibles: I Can't Possibly Garden With Out...... swap for May

In this swap the theme is for you to send your partner the one or more seeds/plants you absolutly must have each year in your garden, and a little note why it is you must have, plus any other seeds/plants you think you partner might like.

Sign ups start now and will end April 29th, I will post partners on May 1st, and you will contact your partner for their address. you may not be sending to the same person that is sending to you. there are so many swaps right now that if you have someone that you want to swap with please e-mail me and I can try to match you up with the person you want, also if you have traded with someone recently and want to be sure you swap with someone diffrent, let me know who you have swaped with in the last 2 months.

please post here to sign-up

thanks

michelle

    Sorry, I won't be joining in this month. I do a very limited number of veggies and have just about every type of herb. Will try to join in on a swap with this group later though... just for fun!

    hello
    welcome amanda you send a good assortment of plants or seeds, I like to send at least 10 diffrent kinds of seeds and some plants if you have them.
    and there are guide lines as far how maney seeds in the info for the seeds swaps. but if they are seeds you purchased from a catalog or the store it is commonly exceptable to send around 10 seeds if they are large, and 25 small.

    so far we have
    1. gardenkitteh
    2. strmywthr3
    3. sunnyk
    4. amanda_socal22

    we still have plenty of time for sign-ups

    Howdee there

    I have yet to be in one of the Incredible Edibles swaps yet and am interested in this one. I would like a bit more info if posible. Do we just send seeds? Can you send gifts and trinkets too? What is the dead line?

    Just let me know. Thanks and this sounds fun

    hello
    acres - you can send plants/starts/seeds/gifts as far as I know there is no deadline for shipping I'm just hosting this month becouse they needed someone. I will not be swaping this month, I have given my self a limit of 2 swaps a month. just please try to ship in the month of april, if you will be late just let your partner know.
    if there are any more questions please let me know.

    I thought this was for the may swap and shipping in may?

  • sunnyk
    15 years ago

    I thought this was a May swap as well...I think that Michelle meant to say May...I hope :D !

    I am big on sending/recieving seeds myself ,so I have to show a small amount of restraint and limit myself to a certain amount of trading a month :) LOL...

    A couple questions just occurred to me.

    Will we be able to find out what our partner has so that we don't send them stuff they've already got?
    Is the person we send to the same as the person who sends to us?

  • Michelle Reynolds
    Original Author
    15 years ago

    hello
    gardenkitteh - you can ask your partner about what they have, but it can spoil the surprise. I will leave it up to you. as far as pairs, I can set you up eather way, with the person that is sending to you or not, it will depend on if there are an evan number of people or not.
    thanks for the questions

    Hi, I'd like to participate in this swap.

    I sent to Linda (scentsfromheaven) for the very first swap (tomatoes and peppers). I had to bow out of Odd, Odder, Oddest for various personal reasons including car trouble.

    Maybe I could swap with hmle2217 this time if she signs up again. She has a small apartment garden like I do, so whatever she can't garden without is almost certain to fit in my small space. :)

    Or I could swap with Amanda, whose Z10 climate seems compatible.

  • beth_b_kodiak

    Hi All, I have not done any swaps in several months but am now growing a few herbs and tomatoes in pots. They were my #1 Priority so I guess that makes them something I can't garden without.
    I'm living, traveling in my RV so no room for much but I'd like to be in on this and am seriously searching for the real Greek type of oregano. One plant or a few seeds would make me quite happy.
    I'm in Texas now and heading, slowly for Colorado. I'll need to give my partner an address when it is time for shipping.

    I will post partners next week unless you want me to close sign-ups and post partners sooner. just let me know
    michelle

  • beth_b_kodiak

    I have found the Greek Oregano. Hope it does well and maybe even produces some seeds for next year.
    I am loveing this part of Texas. It is caled the Piney Woods section and seems to have a fantasic climate for gardens. Two of my three tomatoes are bloomng already. Strange thing is that "Early Girl" is the one with no blossoms.
    I'll be here one more week then will spend about two weeks making my way to Colorado. I will transplant into bigger pots when I get there. That is where I am spending the summer. and I hope the tomatoes don't think I have played a cruel trick on them.
    Michele hope everyone who signed up s still on board for the swap. I'm excited because I have not done any swaps in a while and am looking foreward to this one.

    I am sorry folks, but I need to drop out of this swap.

    Hubby had surgery recently. Because of complications from surgery including infection he is not recovering well. :(

    He will be at home, bedridden, for a while yet. I need to focus on him & will not have the time or energy to handle this swap well.

    Thanks,

    I might be too late, but if not... I'd love to get in on this exchange! (Sorry, rather new, and just noticed this was a current offer!)

    Maybe someone wouldn't mind taking on a second partner if there isn't the oddball waiting around?

    Hi Michelle, Your wish list looks like some edibles for butterflies might be acceptable. Am I right?
    It would be OK with me for you to send tomatoe seeds for next year or any garden surprise as long as it can grow in a pot.
    Beth

  • sunnyk

    15 years ago

    Michelle, WOW, I'm here and it is so beautiful.
    I mailed your package this AM amd here is the DC#
    03051720000092349540 Hope it arrives by Sat.
    They have lovely gardens here around the headquarters bld. and have told me I can spend part of my work hours tending them.
    How KOOL is that? I don't know much about high altitude gardening but, maybe it is similar to gardening in AK
    I expect to need to bring my tomatoes inside every night for at least a couple more weeks.
