| Dozen Dozen (second year)
Open Pollinated Tomatoes Only! Rules: Post the names of the dozen varieties you are GIVING. Once someone posts a variety you must choose another, first posting commits to send that variety. Secondly, provide a list in ORDER of preference for your seed WISHLIST. (First come preference…no guarantees, BUT last year 95% of everyone got what they wanted, it was fantastic!) You may GIVE more than 12 varieties, but you are only guaranteed to receive 12 varieties. A minimum of a dozen seeds for each variety are required! You will receive a dozen seeds of a dozen varieties! You may send in more than a dozen seeds or a dozen varieties however. This really helped to get everyone the requested seeds last year. Many were very generous. Must send in either a SASBE, postage or cash to cover the return package. Send e-mail with seeds or e-mail me via GardenWeb. Sign up is on site, confirmation/contact by e-mail as well. I will need; nickname used here, name and address and e-mail. Do not sign up if you cannot follow through, negative feedback would be posted. Print this, save in Word or add to favorites (bookmarks). Attached is a link to the previous swap and feedback. |

| Just to update and answer some questions...last year the cutoff was Oct.31st and we had 11 traders. Is everyone okay with Oct.31st as the date to have seeds in? Once the deadline happens, I will mass e-mail my address and perhaps any questions answered. The tracking of which tomatoes-giving and receiving will be posted here. If there are mistakes, E-MAIL me. To make it easier, tracking will be my nickname used here. There are seven of us so far. I will be mass mailing participants from last year's swap. For those of you who already have my address, you may send anytime...but for convenience I am sending my address via mass mail AFTER the deadline. Seeds are mailed to me, I rebag and or sort. When that is done, they are mailed in the SASBE YOU provided and sent with your GIVING seed packets. How much postage to send?? I would record how much the package to me is(yours) and add another stamp...many people got way for than 12 varieties last year. This should be a SASBE (self addressed stamped bubble envelope). If you need to have me do the postage and the envelope, enclose cash...Canadian...okay, US is fine :) Just a little joke on the "dollar value". Hope this helps clear any confusion. Also, I will not have time to do research and list this season-sorry, but someone can if they wish. Earl in MI |

| Hi, I'd like to join. But what if I can't send in a dozen different varieties?? I have a very small (patio) garden, so I don't usually grow more than 3 or 4 varieties per year. I doubt if I even have 12 varieties in my entire seedbox! So far, I know I can GIVE at least 12 seeds of the following: May also send in a few heirlooms that I have less than 12 seeds of, to be distributed as bonuses. I would like to receive any of the following, listed in order of preference: Would love *any* cool-climate, dwarf/compact heirloom that can grow and yield well in a 5-gallon or smaller pot. Also seeking these tomato relatives-- Just in case anyone here has seeds to share: |

| Earl thanks for your hard work. I have a question: I see people have seeds on their wish list that no one listed as "HAVE". should I change some of my 'HAVE" to meet their wishes (seeds that I have) and remove seeds (from my list) that no one declared as "WANT"? |
|
- Posted by slo_garden Sunset 16 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 2, 08 at 1:18
| Naples, Although I didn't request them specifically, I'd be interested in your Caspian Pink, Crnkovich, Stupice, and Vera's Seeds of Paradise so whatever you do, don't remove those (LOL)! |
|
- Posted by dirtdiggin (My Page) on Thu, Oct 2, 08 at 14:44

| Okay Earl. The package is in the mail. I sent all the Subarctic Plenty, Siberian, Roma VF, and Tumbling Tom Red I could. I didn't have enough for 16 players. I sent 11 packets of each for you to spread out among the others. Also, if no one else asks for it, I'd like the "1884" variety. |

My seeds are all ready to go, so as soon as I get the info they will be sent out. Please let me know if I need to resend my info.Thanks again!

| Hello I am sorry for spelling this tomato wrong. It is Bhsky Zhetty. It is a 4 oz. yellow with a sweet taste. Not many seeds. Sorce Amerian Gardener. I am going to post my pictures in my garden web have area tonight. Susan aka skyblue52 |
|
| Hi Earl, I'm going to include a few extra packets of Cherokee Purple for anyone that wants to try this strain. Every other strain of CP I've tried has had fruit that averaged under a pound and and the plants sprawl like crazy. The strain I'm growing is more upright and fruit is 1 lb+ I just harvested a very nice 25 oz beauty. |
|
- Posted by dirtdiggin (My Page) on Sun, Oct 5, 08 at 10:42
| Oh danincv, that sounds wonderful. I'd love to give them a try...hopefully I'll get lucky and get a package :) Earl, I'll be including extra Alicante, Caspian Pink, Mortgage Lifters and Large Red Cherry. Probably enough for everyone to try them all. And possibly a couple of extra Amish Paste if they ever finish ripening :/ My Caspian Pinks are HUGE this year. The mortgage lifters are about a lb but the caspians are over 1.5 lb. |
|
- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Sun, Oct 5, 08 at 16:35
| For the other 15 members of this 12/12 swap. When this whole thing is done, if you wanted Cherokee Purple for next year and didn't get a packet, Email me. I had a bumper crop this year and we dehydrate everything (That means lots and lots of seeds of anything I grow). Having said that, mine are from a Regular Leaf plant and averaged about 12 ounces each. However, the taste was about 2 ticks above the top of the scale. My two plants slowed down at the height of the maximum heat of "Hot-lanta's" summer, but they are firmly into their second crop of the year with more fruit set and several fruit almost at harvest size.

| Question... I finally had 1 Amish Paste ripen and it had only 10 seeds. I have another that is rosy and a BEAUTIFUL BIG tomato but not ripe yet. Should I wait for the rosy one to ripen and send 12+ seeds or just send the 10 seeds that I have ready? I don't want to hold up progress, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. |

| I have no objection to receiving older seeds as long as they are marked as such so I can use my magic germination technique. Well, it just looks like magic since it involves a lot of muttering and arm waving. |
|
- Posted by luvgardening2 8/9 (My Page) on Wed, Oct 15, 08 at 14:09
| Hi, I also do not mind receiving 2007 seeds. I am sure the germination will be just fine. I did go through the want list and try my best to fulfill some of the request. I had the same problem with Grovespirits request. I have seen and actually had quite a few on her want list go through my garden. The problem is that I did not plant them from seed. I purchased them as plants at the College Plant sale or The Arboretum Plant sale. They did not meet my expectations on taste and I did not save seeds. I am sorry. I am glad that it is going smoothly for you. I could only imagine if I had to sort through all of those seeds. I would be going CRAZY or asking Danincv for that magic trick. :o) Nancy |

- Posted by dirtdiggin 8b (My Page) on Fri, Oct 17, 08 at 11:03
| Hi everyone, Seeds are on the way yay! :) I have no objection to receiving older seeds. I agree they should be marked, but I've not had any trouble with germination on year old seeds. Thanks for asking though. Thanks for your hard work Earl. It's really appreciated.

- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Fri, Oct 17, 08 at 18:31

| HI, I've been under the weather for a few days but my seeds are being mailed to you on Monday. I don't mind 2007 seeds and I love surprised:-) |

- Posted by irish_rose_grower z7 LI NY (My Page) on Mon, Oct 27, 08 at 7:36
| HI, I'm getting my seeds ready and have a question. When I put all the baggies in a bubble envelope, can this envelope be used to return to me as well? And then would I just send postage for the return trip to me? thanks |
|
- Posted by dirtdiggin 8b (My Page) on Mon, Oct 27, 08 at 10:07
| Hi irish rose grower, That's exactly what I did. I sent a label with the new stamps on it and my return address, to simply paste over the top of the old label. Earl didn't seem to mind...well he didn't yell at me :) |

| Aw, you guys are cheating the good old USPS out of honest stamp money. I did it the old fashioned-probably kinda stupid- way and sent a bubble mailer inside my bubble mailer. And paid postage both ways. But I like my mail person and enjoy meeting my neighbors as we exchange the mail she misdelivers (always magazines- I think she does it on purpose- get the "Sail" guy to meet the "Car and Driver" guy). So thanks for the tip. |

| Mine will go out with Wednesday's mail. I've added a few extras that may help fill some wish lists. These are the extras: Black Cherry, Costoluto Genovese (lots), Kellogg Breakfast, Nebraska Wedding (2 packs of 12) Tiger Like (lots) |

| Danincv - me too. Hmmmmmmm Sometimes the most simple things escape my heretofore technical mind. I can memorize dozens of electronic schematics and logic diagrams of very complicated computerized devices and simultaneously coordinate and stuff hundreds of lines of computer language code in my brain as I develop a program ......... and never lose a tick of the clock. But I can't remember why I got out of my chair and walked into the storage shed. It just don't make any sense, does it????? LOL :>) Ted |

| No package or e-mail lately from farmerron361 or grovespirit :( I started sorting but any that requested seeds from the above players may not be available if I package and send soon. There were also duplicates so that lowers the trade numbers...however many seed packets had more than 12 seeds and there were many extras packets...THANKS! I have broken into many, many seeds in my collection and will do the best I can. This will still be one of the best, easy swaps you have done in awhile :) |
|
| TIA, Earl, for all of your effort and planning. For my part the two that didn't come through had nothing on my wish list and I hope they are OK- things come up. I remember one trade I did where I sent my seeds off and got nothing back for a month. I was about to send a email "zinger" but sent one asking if he was OK? Turned out he and his wife both had major health issues that month but he was getting better. When he sent his side of the trade he included several extra pkgs of seeds he thought would do well in my kind of climate. Since that trade I have always included a little something extra from my end and don't have any worries if nothing comes back. What goes around comes around. Thanks, again. |
|
- Posted by northernmich 5 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 3, 08 at 7:26
| Sorting is finished, just have to put in your envelope and double check that I don't give YOU something that you gave...lol, especially when extras are passed out. Lots of great trades....wish we had everything on the wish list but together we can solve that. At the end of the trade I will include my website/forum so you can post needs and keep that available and fresh in our minds. Earl-thanks for trading! |
|
- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Mon, Nov 3, 08 at 9:26
| Earl, I also want to thank you for emceeing this show. You might have a lot of extra Cherokee Purple, given that both Dan and I sent a bunch. I wouldn't mind having one of Dan's packets sent to me. His version seemed to be setting larger fruit than mine. In any case, I'll be looking for this show on next season's listings. Your ratings were off the scale this year. :>) Ted |

| I received an e-mail on Ron...one of those frustrating computer crashes. Let's pray Ron gets restored. There are many priorities higher than a tomato trade, IMO anyway. Hope to hear from you soon Ron. |

| Your packages are ALMOST ready...in the meantime. use this link to get information on many of the varieties traded. Those requesting seeds from Ron or grovespirit are out of luck...I have been substituting from extras and my inventory. Thank you for your patience. Tomato Varieties |

| Aloha all, this was posted in the Seed Exchange Conversations forum a while ago. Reposting it here. I would have put it here sooner, if I had known which swaps Grovespirit had joined. Because of a sudden health crisis which worsened progressively during much of October, my dearest (Grovespirit) has been unable to get several seed trades out on time. The problem is still ongoing; she went back to the hospital Nov5 to see a specialist. Several more tests have been ordered. Some of these tests have waiting lists, and we cannot do much for her until the results are all in. We hope that she will still be able to send all the seeds owed, eventually. If you were expecting one of Grovespirit's tomato seed varieties, she might still be able to mail it directly to you once she recovers. Iris (Grovespirit) is struggling now even with the most basic things such as cooking, sleeping, eating, and walking, because of how the illness is affecting her. We have no idea when Iris will be well enough to get all caught up with hobby stuff such as various late seed trades. Patience is appreciated. :) The way things are going with Grovespirit's health, she may even need to stop or reduce all gardening and related activities for a while, to save time and energy for treatment. Sincere apologies for the inconvenience, Grovespirit's other half. |

| I wish Grovespirit the best! Hopefully, the doctors will get a handle on things, and she will be back into good health again soon. Make sure she takes care of herself, and for Pete's Sake, don't let her worry about tomato seed trades! |
|
- Posted by bonechickchris 7A/6B NJ 08731 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 13, 08 at 0:21
| To Mr. "Grovespirit", I really hope that Iris will feel better. I am sure all of us will say a little prayer for her! Please let her know that seed trades are the last thing she should worry about. It was nice of you to let us know. I hope she gets better soon! Christy |
|
- Posted by naplesgardener Englewood FL (My Page) on Sun, Nov 16, 08 at 11:26
| I'm so sorry to hear about Iris's health issues (grovespirit). She was one of the first people I ever traded tomato seeds with on GW and it was a very happy transaction. Wishing her well soon, we all have some experience with bad health and know how hard life becomes. Earl |
|
- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Tue, Nov 18, 08 at 21:25
| I, too, wish for a speedy recovery for Iris (grovespirit). If there's anything we can do, please don't fail to let us know. And, PLEASE, don't worry about seeds. Take care of yourself. Earl, how about a weekly update on where the 12/12 swap process stands. |

| Maybe I missed the humor. I am holding off other trades until I see what this one brings. I'm not trying to be too anxious, but two weeks ago you posted that "Sorting is finished, just have to put in your envelope and double check that I don't give YOU something that you gave...lol, especially when extras are passed out." Then on the 7th, you posted, "Your packages are ALMOST ready". Now it's 12 days later and there has been no word of how we're doing. Patient, I can be. But incommunicato I'm not comfortable with. A simple answer or short explanation would do wonders. I just got my wife out of emergency surgery, and my stress levels say that I'm not really up to playing a guessing game. If I'm being too harsh, then I apologize. But I sure would like some idea of when you expect to be mailing out. |
|
- Posted by northernmich 5 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 19, 08 at 15:44
| Ted... I just e-mailed you on the particulars. Earl |
|
- Posted by dirtdiggin 8b (My Page) on Wed, Nov 19, 08 at 16:48
| I'm sure that Ted and I aren't the only ones curious. While I understand that it takes time, I also have put off trading on some items as I'm completely unsure of what will arrive. Not to mention, I was thinking of using some of the items that may be duplicates as Christmas gifts. Please give an update that I can understand. Not sure if you were joking or not, but I think Christmas is a bit on the unacceptable side much less Spring. Is there something that is holding things up? Earl, I've sent multiple emails and only have received 1 response. Not sure why emails aren't coming through on your end, but my last email, I asked if you wanted some of the seed that I received from Farmer Ron. Please let me know. Thanks :) |
|
- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Wed, Nov 19, 08 at 17:25
| I just apologized privately and now will do so publicly. I almost lost my wife this past weekend, but thanks to some great care and some top-notch surgery at Northeast Georgia Hospital, I still have my high school sweetheart - my bride of 45 years here with me. My comments in the above post reflected my stress levels and not my true thoughts and feelings. This thread just happened to be the point of my focus when the stress had to be relieved. My most humble apologies to anyone who might have been offended by my actions. Sorry folks, I had to explode somewhere. Earl had provided a most welcome service by hosting this trade and he has my fullest support and my most sincere apology. Ted |
|
- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Wed, Nov 19, 08 at 20:43
| Earl, if you're reading this, I just read your email and I again want to offer my most humble apology to you. I do this in the public forum because I need to. I've been a wreck here. I'm the oldest generation in my family now. That means I should helping my younger family members thru things like this. Everybody needs family to go to when the world isn't a nice place. Family will understand and forgive. Well, I came here. I hope you folks can understand and forgive my outburst of pain. Ted |

| Thank you Earl for all you hard work! I cannot wait to receive my package, which I am sure you worked very hard on! And that is much appreciated! The reason why I joined in on this swap, is because of all of the positive feedback I had heard on it from last year, mostly due to its host (Earl). So even though I have not posted much here, please know that I do acknowledge the time, effort, and sharing of your own collection that has personally made this swap such a sucess! I am sure everyone here means well, no matter what has been said, either way! I am sure nothing was said to put down or purposely hurt anyone! So please, lets all get back to the fun! Christy |

| My seeds arrived! They are in great shape. I love the varieties and handmade seed packets. There are several non-reds and some early maturing varieties that will be especially interesting to me. Maybe I better go start enlarging the garden right now :) Thanks to all who shared, and thanks especially to Earl both for his time and his generous sharing of his own seeds. I was wondering about the Bear Claw variety and wasn't finding much about it. Then I looked over this thread and discovered Earl's photos of it right here. WOW! It's a monster. I better start lifting weights before next year's harvest :) It will remind me of northern Michigan when I grow it. I had to look to find out exactly where Earl's town is located. It's near the eastern tip of Michigan's lower peninsula where I wouldn't be surprised to hear that bears come visiting and leave some claw marks. I'm down at the 43rd parallel in the same state as Earl so I expect my seeds had a quick trip. The rest of you are in for a treat real soon! |
|
| Seeds arrived today, package was in great shape. My wish list had 18 varieties, Earl and all of you good people came through with 12. Fantastic! A 667 batting average. Time to buy more cages. Actually, if you had sent all 18 I wouldn't have anything to do all winter. Thanks, Earl for hosting this and thanks to all of you fellow traders for a great swap. I've been like a kid waiting for Christmas. |

- Posted by dirtdiggin 8b (My Page) on Fri, Nov 21, 08 at 3:51
| I received my package today and really didn't know how to respond. After sending in nearly 70 pkgs worth of seed and extra bags I can only assume that the package I received was done in error. In the package I received 4 items that were on my original request list, 2 items that I sent in to the trade, 5 duplicate packages 2 commercial packs, 3 packs of extras (sub arctic plenty, roma and Siberian) and one package that has a name on it with a big question mark. I guess I’m a bit confused. Forgive me if I sound ungrateful, but did I miss something? |

- Posted by northernmich 5 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 21, 08 at 8:41
| This is what I went by...the original sign-up. Big Rainbow Box Car Willie Giant Italian Paste Ron's no show Marianna's Peace out Stump of the World out Tony's Italian Paste Ron's no show And suprises are great :)¨ Did you get the marked ones? Trust me, if an error was made I will correct it AND if anyone can get those seeds you did not get, it would be me... now I REALLY need a new host to step up...also I if two people requested the same item...first person signed up had priority as I explained at sign-up. There were many requests that simply ran out. |
|
- Posted by dirtdiggin 8b (My Page) on Fri, Nov 21, 08 at 10:20
| Hi Earl, I recieved... Soldaki Received 5 pkgs of Cherokee Purple Not an unnamed one but a pkg that says Brandywine Pink Sudduth with a big question mark on it... the three that I mentioned earlier (Siberian, Roma and Sub Arctic Plenty) that someone sent 11 packages of... And two commercial packs... Caro Rich and Yellow Perfection... I also received Caspian Pink - Which I sent enough for everyone |

| Hi Earl, I was so happy to see my package waiting for me when I came home from work yesterday. No...we do not need a new Host to step up here! My package/seeds arrived in perfect condition, my original list also enclosed with your notes of the varieties that you sent/could not send. Earl, I really appreciate all of your patience and hard work with this swap. Everything was very well coordinated - as with last year's swap. You have done a great job again this year....thanks so much for everything and thanks to everyone who participated! - Lisa |
|
- Posted by dirtdiggin 8b (My Page) on Fri, Nov 21, 08 at 17:31
| Thank you Earl and Dan, for your kind offers. I'm sure it was just an error with all the little packages...I probably would have sent the wrong packages to the wrong people...then would have had to have each person mail the right ones from there. So I'm certainly not griping, just thought it was a bit odd with the duplicates and ones I sent in. Earl, would you like me to return some of them or maybe send some to Grovespirit? I could easily send the two that I sent in...and maybe some Cherokee Purple of each type? I see there are 3 or 4 different Cherokee Purple's from different people. Thank you again, Toni |

| Hey, brought the wife back from the surgery followup today and my envelope was in the mailbox. I have absolutely, positively, and unequivacally no - I repeat NO - complaints at all ---- only compliments. Earl, ya done good, son!!!! I am still very embarrassed and seeking forgiveness for my un-needed (and I'm sure unwanted) outburst. But maybe time will be the great healer. I do have one very minor comment. Two of your homemade packets had a "not so square" corner glue-up and that left the corner slightly open. I had three seeds loose in the main envelope. And you know, no problem. I'm actually kinda looking forward to growing them out and trying to determine which variety they are. I think I know, but it will be fun to "document" their growth. Anyhow, I get to start with a short list of possibilities. I mean it's not like the entire product list from Tomatofest or something. Again, this should be fun. Thanks again for hosting this. Taking so much of your personal time away from your family had to have things very crunched up. Hosting this was a lot of work. I truly hope there IS a next time. My wife doesn't have a gall bladder to mess up my head in the middle of things anymore. So, my behavior will be much more adult and civilized. She's my everything. I hope it shows. Ted |

- Posted by slo_garden Sunset 16 (My Page) on Fri, Nov 21, 08 at 19:18
| Dirtdiggin, The Brandywine with the question mark is probably from me. It is definitely Brandywine (Pink) but I'm not sure whether or not it is Sudduth strain. It is very tasty, though. |
|
- Posted by dirtdiggin 8b (My Page) on Fri, Nov 21, 08 at 19:41
| Thank you slo...I'll test it out, so I received 5 on my wish list :) Just another question...if I could either send a package to you Earl, or get Grovespirit's address, I have 4 or 5 items on her list of wants. They may not be 12 seeds each, but at least it would be some of her wishes. I'd be happy to send them on to her. Please let me know. Thanks. Hubby, our little one and I went out mushroom hunting this afternoon and I have to say, what a wonderful way to clear your head. Came home with some of the most beautiful big golden Chanterelles...hubby is cooking dinner lol :) bless his heart. dirtdiggin - ready to start diggin in the dirt! |

I got almost all on my wish list (which wasn't that extensive) plus lots of other stuff to try. Thanks, Earl and Everyone! The only problem is where I'm going to plant all of these... |

| I have Emailed Grovespirit's Email address and also posted a request over on the Seed Exchange Forum to try and get Iris' mailing address. In searching, I found she lives in Hawaii and is very much loved and respected as a trader and a gardener. There were many, many comments about her generosity. She does have one trading quirk we need to observe. She only likes SASBE for mailing seeds. We need to respect that wish as well. Hopefully, someone will help us send her some early Christmas Presents. More, if and when I know something. Ted |
|
- Posted by containerted 7b NE of Atlanta, G (My Page) on Sun, Nov 23, 08 at 13:14
| I now have the address. PM me if you wish to send seeds. Don't forget, she insists on everything being shipped in Bubble Envelopes. I think maybe some early Christmas Presents might help cheer her up. I'll check my Email about every two hours to expedite getting the info out to you. Ted. |

- Posted by northernmich 5 (My Page) on Mon, Nov 24, 08 at 6:52
By the way, players who sent only a Dozen Dozen received more back. I did not sort players by how many packs sent...giving is just that-giving. If you got the list of what every player received...you would note that many got way more than they sent and that I certainly sent out...well let's just say that I didn't even keep track but I did send many packs that I took in trade to fill in the niches and even sent some 45TH Parallel packs of fresh seed from growouts. If you got my BearClaw you got the second place seeds from the contest over in I Dig :) |
Here is a link that might be useful: I Dig contest

| Hi Earl, I've been blessed with some very kind traders offering different seeds and have traded for some wonderful varieties in addition to what I had on my list :) Not counting the two varieties I sent in, I received 15 total packages of seed. 11 total different varieties with 5 from my original list (which includes the brandywine pink sudduth) I'm not quite sure what the difference is between brandywine and sudduth strain, but I'm looking forward to testing it out :) With the trades I've made and the kind offers, I have more than what was on my list - YEAH :) Plus a few great surprises that I'm also looking forward to growing out...the Caro Rich and Yellow Perfection sound very interesting...I've never tried any color tomato other than pink and red, so this will be a fun experience. Thank you so much for the offer of the additional package, but it really isn't necessary. Thanks again Earl :) |

| Hi Earl, I received my seeds late last week. Thanks so much for putting this seed swap together. Your work sorting and mailing all the seeds is greatly appreciated, and it makes it simple for the rest of us. Thanks to all that contributed seeds. Rich |

| I recieved my tomato seeds and WOW! What a surprise of great tomato seeds! I will come back tomorrow and post exactly what I got, but for now, I just wanted to make sure that you know I got them! Earl was even nice enough to give me some Sarah Black seeds that he only had a few of just because it was on my want list! Earl, you are an awesome tomato seed king! I am very impressed! I hope you are going to do this again next year! I really got much more than I expected! We will all have to keep in touch to let us know how our seeds turn out. And I cannot wait to plant those Bear Claws! Thanks again so much for an outstanding swap! Happy Thanksgiving too! Gobble Gobble! Christy |
