    Good Morning!

    It looks like the April buddies are having a great month. It's so much fun running to get the mail, isn't it?

    I got an adorable post card from Kym, it has the legend of the sea horse printed on it. Thank you Kym!

    It's supposed to be in the sixties here today, I'm going to try planting out some more babies.

    Dan, the black watchman seeds that you sent me have sprouted and put out a set of true leaves, They will find a home today! Thank you again.

    Lisa

    PSSSSST..........Check out the garden genie grant me a wish swap, sign ups are until the 30th!

    oops - I'm sorry I didn't notice that the other thread was full. Kym, you continue to rest and recuperate. I was planning on doing the whole month. When you feel like it, just pop in to say hello but NO Hosting:) I tried to email you but my computer zapped in the middle of it. If you got one that was incomplete, that's why. We miss ya!
    Linda, I planted out a batch of jugs yesterday and today I'm paying for it. OUCH - my arms are so out of shape!
    Did Mark ever tell us why his jugs were a disaster? This was my first year wintersowing and I had great results. If I can do it, ANYBODY can! I've had little success with seeds before wintersowing.
    Keep mailboxin bday folks - April "aint" over yet! Nik

    Hi! My April pkts are going out tomorrow! Yahoo! It sounds like your April Birthdays will last all month! (and that is good! :) A longer time to "celebrate" getting older! (helps soften the blow for some of us! HA!) Oh! I mean getting BD surprizes all month helps soften the blow!
    I'm starting some windowsill seeds today! I'm so excited! You know, lots of people would think we're odd! ;)

    colcol lots of people do think we're odd! You should see the expression on their faces when they see my 300+ WS jugs. Absolutely priceless! I am known as the Crazy Garden Lady at school because of my requests for containers, mini-blinds, etc. Oh well, I guess that's better than just the Crazy Lady! (I've been called that too!)

    Hope everyone is enjoying their birthday month. I know I am. The cards and seeds have been wonderful. A big thank you again to all of you.

    Becky don't feel bad honey, I get lots of 'looks' too when people walk by my house.. especially when I was WS'ing! I actually had someone call the code enforcement officer and I was threatened with a citation if I didn't move them out of the 'line of vision'. pfft.. and I thought I was paying for MY yard..lol

    My kids have finally gotten used to saving their 2 liters and sometimes they even actually wash them out! :) Right now my porch is still a complete seed/potting/gardening disaster. But I sure do feel at home there! :P

    I will be working on my Bday cards this week!

    Not to be making anyone feel rushed or anything, but does anyone know how many birthdays we have coming up in May? I'd like to start getting prepared if I can. I'm hosting a blue seed swap, watching over Bump as he hosts the May MNF swap (you're all welcome to join either or both of those), and getting my yard ready for the growing season, so I'm trying (operative word there, trying) to get organized. Can you imagine? Me? Organized? (Someone use these smelling salts on Kym, I think she's fainted!) LOL!

    HAPPY TUESDAY TO EVERYONE!!!

    (I would remind everyone that tomorrow is Earth Day, but for a bunch of gardeners like us, EVERY day is Earth Day!)

    Holy Moly! Lots to report. Sorry I have been AWOL recently. I had finals and school was crazy, but now I am rested and sane again (no smirking!).

    I got birthday cards last week, one from Just_one_more_hosta. I loved the beautiful sunflower card, and she sent calendula, Baptisia and Salvia. Yay! Thanks!

    I also received Chinese lanterns and pink Calla lilies from Dimples (I can never have too many Calla lilies, and right now I definitely have too few) Thank you!

    Since today is my Dad's birthday, my own has kind of gone out of my mind, but I received a bunch of cards today.

    Suecirish sent a really pretty card with Elecampane and feverfew, as well as some websites to check out for info on medicinals. Thanks so much!

    Taz65 sent Zinnia "Lilliput" (which I had seeds for, but none of them germinated), Bachelor button mix, and Heirloom forget me nots. Thank you Susan.

    Nikki and Sarah Kate sent a great card made by Sarah Kate. They sent Early Bird Dahlia seeds, and a sprout of Tea Olive!! If you two lived any closer I would hug you so hard! I have been wanting this forever, got seeds once, but they were mislabeled. This is a beautiful little sprout. I put it right in a pot, and it looks quite happy. Thank you thank you.

    As if all this was not enough to make my day, I also received the pinata today! Seriously, are y'all trying to disrupt my whole day? I'll never get anything done now!

    It was really fun to read the journal, and to see what people had stashed inside the box. I don't know how you got everything in there, I swear I have a pile twice the size of the box here. I took out a Crinum lily bulb, some unmarked bulbs (I can't resist surprises), seeds for carrots, clematis "Niobe", Amaryllis, Verbena, and Woad. I also grabbed a bar of chocolate from Poland. It is printed all in Polish. Way cool! I am going to have so much fun repacking this thing. I just have to figure out how to make everything fit.

    You all have made my day. And to think I was grumpy this morning!

    I'm so happy one of our cards has arrived and that you are enjoying the tea olive. It was blooming when I sent it. I just love the scent!
    Hope everyone else is enjoying mailboxing. Keep looking - I have it on authority that some are still in transit:)

    Kym, there's no rush on that number, I was just wondering out loud if someone had it.
    Today I got to get into the garden for a couple of hours, and it was great! I'm trying to root some grape vines, so I dug a long trench (probably not really as long as my back says it was, but that's the way it goes) and put a bunch of cuttings in. I'm told that if I keep them damp, they will sprout and root in about 4-6 weeks. I certainly hope so! But, even if they don't, it was great to be outside, playing in the dirt again!

    I received two more fantastic cards today. You guys are really making this month special for me.

    From dimples31312 I received a wonderful card with beautiful yellow flowers on it. She sent broom corn seeds, cornflower seeds, and periwinkle seeds. I can't wait to see these in the garden! Thank you!

    From nikkineel I received a beautiful card made by Sarah Kate (so cute!) She sent nasturtium moon gleam seeds, and zinnia green envy. Thank you so much!

    Gotta get these planted right away. It seems our spring is about to pass pretty fast around here. Highs in the 80s this week.

    Got some bad news today. I have to have one of my parathyroids removed because it is not functioning correctly. Seems it is taking blood out of my bones and putting it in my blood. But the really bad news is that the procedure can't be done until we take care of the problem with my heart. It seems the stress test showed an area of the heart is not getting enough blood supply and I have to have coronary catheterization to find out where the blockage is. So now I know the reason for the exhaustion, shortness of breath, etc. that has put such a damper on my gardening. Not exactly the birthday present I was hoping for. This getting old stuff is for the birds!

    Well, I've been AWOL as well. I'll spare you all the reasons of what all has been going on. Let's just say there's only so many hours in a day, and I always try to push that limit to the max every chance I get. LOL

    Then, I'm getting back to trying to catch up with the Birthday Extravaganza here, and you're not gonna believe this... That cold that I had like 3 times and was sick for well over a month total since January has come back after FINALLY being rid of it for awhile. I cancelled having family over this weekend from out of town and everything. Ugggh.... Well, hopefully what little resistance I have to this will help me get over it once again. It's crazy since I've never been sick like this before in my whole life. I'm going to just have a pity party over here soon, I tell you...

    It sounds like the birthday buddies for April are having a fun month! That's terrific! Keep on mailboxing, y'all.

    Blessings,
    Angela

  • nikkineel
    14 years ago

    Hi Angela, Good to see you:) I sure hate to hear that you are not feeling well again. I HOPE you have seen a doctor. When these things persist and return, you need to be agressive. Have you had a shot? Don't make me come up there... (grin)
    Susan, Sarah Kate thanks you for the compliment. She loves to read it when people comment on her "work". I love including her and having her special "touch" with the cards.
    Proud, I hope you are finding the weekend restful. I know having a procedure lurking can put a damper on things. Still prayin...
    Kym, I also want to thank you for sending me a postcard. That was so sweet of you to think of me while you were on your vacation. I should have thanked you sooner but I only "just" found the card when going through a stack in the office. I think one of the kids must've gotten the mail that day and put it in there.
    Well, I hope that you birthday buddies are enjoying some nice spring weather. Have a great Saturday! Nik

  • highalttransplant

    Haven't been around much lately, too busy gardening, but I've been reading through the thread, and trying to catch up with what's been going on with everybody.

    Proudgm - I will be praying for you, that the catheterization will go smoothly, and that they will be able to move on to the other procedure, so that you can finally start to get well.

    Kym - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I was feeling bad about not having anything on your wishlist, but I see here that you have been well taken care of (((Birthday HUG))) Thank you for the post card. I can't remember the last time I received one. I guess nobody I know ever goes anywhere interesting, LOL! Hope you have recovered from your trip.

    The kids are already working on a card for the May birthday in the kid's swap. I'll check back in a few days to see if I can fill some wishes for the May birthday buddies.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Aphroditelaughs, PLEASE email me, I will give you the info on the pinata.

    Nikki, I forgot to ask you...could you let me know the DATE the pinata was last sent if you have it ?

    To those that received a postcard, I HOPE you noticed I went to the town of CHRISTMAS to mail them. and to those that DIDNT get one, I SOOOOO apologize. I was soo excited to be going there, I had all the labels made up ahead of the trip...we go to Christmas Florida in TORNADOS...and BAD BAD weather, so they made us leave...they shut down during the storm. Needless to say I didnt get to finish mailing...BUT I did try ! I thought it would be so neat since this swap started at CHRISTMAS and the trivia game had a ? about CHRISTMAS...LOL

    May swap has been posted, so May Buddies PLEASE post your WISH LISTS. We will stay on this thread till the end of the month.

    ADDRESSES WILL BE E- MAILED OUT TO YOU ON MONDAY !!!

    It was beautiful out today, has everyone been working in the garden ?? How is your wintersowing ? I am happy to say I have about 65 containers with sprouts, and even found some from last season !

    I hope you ALL are having a WONDERFUL weekend !!

    I know Fran, you would think that I could get them all right -on the day- as stand in host but I'm just not that good:) I've been setting up a table to send to Kym of all the senders for April. If you haven't emailed me letting me know who you sent to/or are sending to - please do. I've gone back through both threads and added the ones I could find. We just want to keep track of our active participants - or more importantly - those who don't participate - at all. Please don't feel bad though if you have to miss a month or so. We all will have those months I'm sure:) Nik

    Hi guys!

    Proundgm, hope your surgery goes well, I'll keep you in my prayers for a speedy recovery.

    Kym, I'm glad you liked the verbascum seeds I sent you. They were really pretty (and tall) and the bees just LOVED them! I didn't grow them this year, they need more space and sun than I can provide. Also, I didn't get the new addresses for May, I'll try to email you to get them.

    Carol57078, thank you so much for the prettiest birthday card. It has a really pretty flower filled vase and glitter all over the flowers and for the poppies and coleous seeds you sent me!

    colcol (coleen) WOW, thanks sooooo much for the commercial seeds you sent me! She sent me poppy shirley double, california orange, and ballerina mix, zinnia lilliput, bachelor buttons, canterbury bells, and a old fashion flower mix! All of them will have a spot in my garden next year!! Thank you so much for thinking of me!!

    Annette, thank you so much for the really pretty stargazer lily birthday card (I can almost smell it, ahhhh) and for the poppy oriental orange and poppy pink and the salvia purple spires. They'll make an awesome combination next year! thanks for thinking of me!

    riley17 (Holly), thank you so much the cupcake birthday card you sent me! (it made me hungry, LOL) and for the cantaloupe unknown and honey rock as well as the turnip seeds. I have never had turnips but I'll try them like you recommended. The cantaloupe is making me drool!

    Sorry it took me so long to post. I've been running around plunking and running and starting all the seeds you guys have sent me! Thanks to all of you that have thought of me this month. Thanks to you my garden is going to be the envy of the neighborhood!!!

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry I've ebeen AWOL for awhile. Spring is always such a busy time. I've been trying to get the yard & gardens cleaned up. DH is expecting to start a new job in a couple of weeks, its suppose to pay about twice as much. He'll be driving OTR again with only one day home per week so we're trying to get stuff here taken care of beforehand (building GH, fixing stuff, etc).He gave his current job his 2 wk notice just 2 days ago and they called today letting him go (on his day off)! Now we're really hoping the new job is as good as it sounds!!

    I got the last of my WS potted yesterday. Out of 160+ jugs there were only about 15-20 that didn't sprout...not bad I guess for my first WS attempt. I'm waiting for my BIL to till my new gardens so I can plant stuff...alot of my potted seedlings have bloomed! Bluebonnets, Lacy Phacelia, and Nasturtiums of every color! I hope they're still blooming by the time I get them in the gardens!

    Kym, thanks for sending the May list in advance! At least I won't get behind on that! LOL
    I'm fine with recieving emails from forum members...sounds like you have an interesting game up your sleeve. Count me in!

    I hope all April Bday buddies are having a wonderful BDay month!!!!!

    Well, April buddies, looks like the month is coming to a close. I sure have had a great time hosting and I hope everyone's birthday was a happy one!
    Kym, I'm fine with receiving emails:)
    Wow Chell, that's a lot of plants. I don't know my numbers on germination yet. I just plant out every chance I get. I gave about 20 or so containers to my mom today. That certainly put a dent into the pot ghetto.
    If anyone hasn't already done so, don't forget to send me the list of who you sent to. And birthday buddies, don't forget to rate and review.
    Susan (Taz), you have mail:)
    Happy last day of April everybody! Nik
