I am starting a seed robin exchange! Let's make good friends

"x-mas in July"

-rules-

-must have at least 10 packs of seeds

(any amount, depends on the type of plant and how much you can share)

-it's a surprise so you canno't know what you are getting

(worst case scenario you can always pass it along)

-seeds must be mailed out by july 1st

(please let your partner know once you sent the seeds out)

-no veggies or fruits

-only annuals, perennials,bi-annuals

(ex; trees, vines, roses,datura,ferns,tropicals, lilys...)

-stay updated with postings in this blog or poll

-package & label the seeds well please

-the theme is x-mas in july so use something related

(ex; giftwrap the package, place a x-mas card, bowl,tag if you can if not it's ok)

-our purpose is to cheer us up and have fun

-if you never traded before it's easy ask us

Aditional rules or comments may be posted open to all members happy gardening to all of you

sincerely, Erika Marquez

    I'm afraid I'll need to drop out of this one. Sorry Erika! I guess I didn't read the instructions carefully before joining. I have a lot of seeds to share but I'm already involved in other box swaps (even a Xmas in July one) and I can't afford the postage for another.

    But have fun with this one. Sorry for any inconvenience.

    sunshine123/Dana V your package is going out with tommorrow's mail just finished up, I hope you enjoy it thanks so much x participating.

    My apologies to brandy kay, I do not know what went wrong in the email communication, have you had any problems before?, the only thing I got from you were trough gardenweb posting.

    To the others I did not get their adress (probably bcs of 4th of july plans), sorry, but I wanted to mk sure that I had all the info before the drawing, instead of waiting and not knowing, thanks to all that participated, hope you had fun, and let us know what you received and if you like it, remember if you already have it you can always pass it along.
    & don't forget to add a note to the rate and review forum, that you received your items, that helps in future trades.

    Sunshine 123:

    It has been 3 weeks since you said you were going to send out my seeds, and they still have not arrived.

    You don't have an email address listed so I can't notify you privately. By any chance did you forget to send them? I know that life happens; but it is extremely disheartening to be waiting for something and it never arrives.

    Sherri : (

    hello
