    Hi, everyone, this is your host Willy... I am glad for all that have signed up so far for the swap, and even if you need a little more time than the November 1st deadline, that is fine, but I will be starting after the 1st to put seed packets together... and still there is time for those that havent have had a chance to sign up.. and I will follow up this swap with a NEW YEARS SWAP, so I will be posting it soon, thanks again for all participating, we have lots of new and unusual items going out in this years swap.. bless you all.... Willy.

    Hi Willy,
    I too would like to know if you can post a list of the envelopes of seeds you have recieved.

    Thanks so much,

    Finally got my seeds out in the mail today. Knowing the mail system here, it may be a bit after the 1st that they arrive.

    To those who have posted requests that Willy post a list of seeds he's received: as long as I've participated in his swaps - and he's been doing them a long time - I've never seen him do that. Just not his style, unless he decides to change it. He's probably more likely to email you if he didn't receive your seeds.

    This is a massive swap, which seems to get bigger every year. Willy is a good, reliable host - my advice is - don't worry!

    Yes, this is willy your host, I usually dont list all the packets that have been received as they often come in up to a week or two after the deadline and that is fine, but if you want to know, just email me, personally as the emails from your posting dont go through to me, and as I continue to update the list, I will let you know if I have received your seed packets. And if you still need a week or so, that is fine, as it will take a couple of weeks to go through all the seed packets and return them to you.. Hopefully it has been fun, and you'll enjoy the wonderful selection of seeds you will receive. I follow up this swap with a New Years Swap, so anyone that still has more seeds or wasnt able to get all your seed together, is welcome to sign up for the New Years Swap.

    Sorry I am going to have to drop out of this one, I just realized that I am way too late and have been having internet troubles so I haven't logged on lately. I apologize. Have fun everyone.

    I also received my seeds and have been googling some of them to see what they are. Thank you so much for all the hard work. I don't think I will ever buy another gardening book when all the information you need is on the internet. Can hardly wait for the Fresh New Years Seed Swap. Have a great day!

    Willie I received my seeds yesterday and I want to thank you for doing an excellent job. I was really surprised to find so many kinds that I wanted and some that I will have to look up to see what they are. This is such a good learning process! Thanks to all in the swap for sharing, many pks. were not labeled who they were from so to all-thanks!!!

  • alwaysagarden

    Hi Willy,

    I received mine today. Thanks to Willy and to all of the participants. This year was a good one!

    I am back with a question. These did not have the sender's name on the packet so I have to address my query generally. I received a packet labeled simply "creeping yellow daisy". It may be just what I have been looking for. Would whoever sent that please let me know what it is-just the Genus would be a big help!
    As far as I know it could be a Sanvitalia, Wedelia trilobata, or Chrysanthemum paludosum, but I am sure there are other possibilities.
    Thanks! Alana
