Beyond that;

Here are the partner's.
I have all the newbies addies, I did not include anyone who did not send me their address so if any of the veterans are feeling left out, newbies can have two parents, let me know.

Now some of you have asked for seeds and some have only offered seeds so I would say that send what you can, veterans. I tried to make your newbie close geographically so I might not suggest a one rate box or even priority. Some of the newbies were willing to pay postage if you have stuff but not the means to ship. Each pair can decide what works for them.
Newbies should remember that as important as the plants and seeds are, the new relationship you can develop is very important.
Please contact your new "parent" and let them know a bit about you.
I am here if anyone, veteran or newbie, needs some help shipping or receiving.
Please make sure you let us know when you send, DC are not required but boxes are usually better received when we know they are coming. Newbies it is imperative that you let us know when you receive from your new sponsor. An expression of appreciation is all your veteran was expecting when they signed on for this.
I am hoping to get my box done this week but I planned on having it done yesterday so I will not be promising anything.
I am hoping all boxes can be out in the next two weeks, if anyone has a problem with that, you can e-mail me privately and we will figure something out.
Thanks again to the veterans and welcome to all of our newbies.

Talk to you soon!
Tracy

I've contacted Sue. We've e-mailed a couple of times. Very different gardens. Actually, that's good. I have lots of seeds for her!

it is freezing and I think my tomatoes have turned into green weapons. (I had a late growth spurt ... I read that if you mix Tums in water and use that next time you watered that it would be good for your plant ... it worked)

Your little newbie somethings went out this afternoon.

That's some shocking imagery. We live on the water and have to take a boat or barge to and from home, so we are on the water LOTS.

Last season, an idividual decided...in March...in the Puget Sound, that he needed to go parasailing...without any form of foot support. We were in vehicles on our local barge, watching this individual travelling at least 30 MPH + across the water. We all wondered how he would get back. It's nearly 3 miles to land in the direction he was going...so swimming would take some effort, not to mention, we average about 47 degrees in water temp. That offers about 20 minutes before hypothermia sets in...a bit longer in a wet suit, but needless to say...IT'S FREAKIN COLD!!!!!!!!

He lost it in a wake...and tried and tried to get his sail to help him back up. Well instead of helping him back up, it kept flipping him into the air. He'd catch the wind and his entire body would flip up out of the water and back down. It was quite the site.

Finally, our island boat had to pick him up to take him to safety. Have to say it was over 50 minutes before he was picked back up, but he was quite happy to see dry boat.

Can you believe stupidity? When the wind takes you miles one direction, shouldn't you have a plan to get back?

Hello;
I am sooo excited to have received my first ever round robin box of goodies from diene!!!! Lots and lots of plants for me to get into the ground before it starts snowing here. (wait. it DID snow yesterday, didn't it? LOL...)

Diene was so very kind and helpful answering my questions and patiently waiting for me to return from my trip w/relatives to see the lovely foliage in New Hampshire before I was able to respond that I received the box.

I hope someday to return the favor to another newbie in the RR forum with such enthusiasm and kindness as she has shown to me !!!!!

JD.

Happy Gardening.....
