I am interested in starting a new round robin.I will mail them back when all participants are recieved..Please send seeds in a sasbe with 3 stamps enclosed to cover return postage. We should give everyone time to get their seeds sent but the deadline will be december 1st..unless we run out of participants.. What I would like is for people who have an abundance of one thing to mail it in to me SASBE with a note ROUND ROBIN then all of our abundances will be divided to share with all participants of this round robin.Please feel free to put only one or two wants down so it will be easier for us to get some of what we like...I am looking for celosia all types and jobs tears......WILMOTH

    kristlindgren all I can say is WOW.........I recieved your seeds today if any of you can look at christys wants list and fulfill any of her wants ....I think it would be VERY appropriate......Her box of seeds recieved was too big to put in my mailbox ...Thanks Christy ...I will have a ball distributing these and sooooo many different varieties too......Donna

    I must say THANK YOU for the wonderful complement. I hope I was able to fill some of everyones wants. I tried. How many are left to send? I am getting very anxious to see what kind of surprise will end up in my mailbox. I think that is the main reason why I do round robins. The excitement of the surprise.

    Hoping everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weeked,

    Donna, thanks for your email, I will try to be a "very late joiner" to this swap, if they don't make please include for the next one. I sent them outtoday all separated and most individually labeled and ready to send out to the group. Included Datura Metel, Pink Peony Poppies (sorry you already purchased these two - so easy to grow from seed!), Liatris, Iris, Columbine, dianthus, lilac ladybells, ox eye daisy and a number of others - all grown in my garden and harvested this year ~150 packs. Thanks so much for organizing this swap Donna. thehills2

    Thanks Donna,
    I'm glad to know that the seeds arrived all ready. That sure was quick!! I guess with the higher price for postage the mailmen are looking for something to do these days . - Everything has slowly ironed out here. I am so looking forward to getting some new seeds. I was looking at ordering some for my winter sowing. However, last minute chaos as usual, and everything is on hold at this time until the health issues work themselves out. Which will hopefully be soon enough -This round robin is going to be really exciting. (My first one anyways...) Sorry to put you through the worry - I know you have worked really hard to put together a great swap..I wish you well, and all goes well!! I'm excited for you! Everyone here is so nice and courteous it is sure to be a great hit!
    thank you for letting me participate,
    Barb

  • scottrell
    16 years ago

    I moved to Florida to get away from snow. I had my share of brutally cold winters. Do you want to know what I've been up to lately? Or will it make you mad at me? LOL I don't want to be accused of "Rubbing it in"

  • kristlindgren

    Donna,
    So sorry about your dogs.

    Glad to hear you received my package, I sent a few dollars of extra postage last week, so you could break my envelope up if need be, but if not just use to cover anyone who may be a bit short. Thanks so much Donna, do hope you find your dogs. thehills2

  • scottrell

    Hey Donna, What? I sent the seeds to you on November 26th, I sent priority mail with delivery confirmation. The Del con # is 0306 3030 0001 7856 9999. I checked the Postal website at www.usps.com and the record states that my package was delivered to you on November 28th at 1:21 P.M. In the package is a self addressed stamped bubble envelope, I paid extra for priority mail. It also includes all my precious seeds (ast least 130 packs) in homemade envelopes (I have four daughters, We had our own little factory assembly line)I implore you to check with your Post Office. I am new to Garden Web, this is my first Round Robin. I am also in a new house, my gardens are less thatn 1 year old. I harvested a lot of the seeds for this, but, also purchased some, just so that I would have an addequate ammount to fit in. To say that I would be crushed to be excluded from this Round Robin would be an understatement. PLEASE check again! my full name is
    Sharon Cottrell the package came from Port Saint Lucie Florida

  • thehills2

    Sharon, Hopefully it is just an oversight, but I know Donna posted earlier that she sometimes works off hours so she might not be able to get back to you quickly. But if your package does turn out to be lost in the postal system, I sent in ~150 seed sets largely harvested from my garden (it is my first few months seed trading). And I would be happy to have Donna split whatever is to come my way with you, and I know she posted earlier that there would be leftovers as well. Anyways, hopefully just an oversight, but you'll have at least my 75 sets and some leftovers coming if not. Take care. thehills

    Hi Donna and everyone, hope everyone is having a happy new year! I just wanted to post that I received my seeds so thank you so much to Donna and all who sent in.

    Also I have one seed pack in a clear small 2X2 ziploc with 6 large interesting seeds in it, kind of like plump oval beans, but a browny base color with mottled white markings over the brown,and they are a bit shiny. They look special and I would love to know what they are if anyone recalls sending them in. Thanks so much again all. thehills
