| I though I would see if anyone is interested in doing a fun little swap while we wait for the bigger ones to start; Back to school and Patty’s What is one your want list. The idea is an alphabet game/swap. Using the common name, botanical name or the variety name.. how many letters in the alphabet do you have available to swap?
An example would be (A-Z) A- Ascelpias- orange butterfly weed
• Send as many of the letters as you can. Can you get all 26? • You can also send in up to an additional 24 for just swapping. For a grand total of 50 unique packets of seeds. Please do not send doubles. •For each letter you send in- you will receive a different seed packet for that letter. •For each of the additional seed packets sent in – something different will be sent back to you. •Flower, Vines and/or shrub seeds only No Veggies •seeds must be sent in a bubble envelope that includes your GWname, return postage and a return address label. Please include a wishlist if you do not have one already on GW. •Sign-ups will be until September 26th; Seeds need to be in the mail no later than October 10th •If you would like to be included, please sign up in this thread and I will email you my address. If you do not have your email address exposed on GW you will need to email me directly. |

| Hi all! I am sending out my bubbler this morning. I missed about 4 or 5 of the letters. Can anyone tell me if they came up with X? and the only thing I could think of for Q is Queen of the Prairie, and my seeds aren't ready to be harvested. Connie, this has been fun...and it really makes you think. Thanks for coming up with it. |
|
- Posted by conniesc 5 (cschlimm@neo.rr.com) on Wed, Sep 29, 10 at 8:41
| It is very interesting to see what is coming in for each letter. So for for X we have Xeranthemum and xerosicyos. current status nottougly |

| Hi everyone! Wow! I know I don't have either one of those X's. :) Hope my bubbler has made it there by now. Thanks again! and Happy Monday! |

| All packages will be going back out into the mail this afternoon. A couple of notes: anyone who sent in veggies- they will be returned to you. some peope got very creative for some of the letters :) The letter X and Q. a majority of people sent in the same exact thing so instead of just sending you back a different package of the same thing I placed them in the extra bin substituting something from my stash. PS In some packages I threw in some extra's. I am getting ready to do a huge remodel and needed to clean up!! :) enjoy everyone |
|
| Good luck with your remodel. I'm constantly in the middle of a project at my place either inside or out and although I love it, I also hate it. |
