Dave - I sent my package this evening. Thanks!

Mine went out today too. Got the wishes and the bonuses up but ran out of time for the swaps and favorite swaps!

Today I rec'd 3 more from:

askewgardens
andrea81
simplylisa

I just got mine out today :(
I wanted to get it to the post office on Friday, but didn't get there until today. But it's out of my hands now...
Look for it soon!

Amanda 'romando'

So sorry for the delay, but I just got my package out today (Wed). It was too big (read: expensive) to ship from the PO, so I had to send it UPS.

Tracking number is 1Z440X800319875428. I think. I'm not 100% sure how to tell a zero (0) from an O. IN any case, I bet it doesn't hit Dave's until Monday, so I am really sorry for holding things up. I had to wait for some stuff to ripen here, and I had to find some of the seeds you all wanted. (I hit up a lot of my local gardening friends for some of your seed.) :)

To the people who wanted Trycritis, it is not ripe yet. If it becomes ripe in the next few days, though, I'll email Dave and see if there is time to fire it out and still make a decent turnaround time for him sending out your packages. My plant could also be one of those patented plants that doesn't make seed, just empty pods, so I just have to play it by ear. I really thought it would ripen faster than it has, and thought I could certainly fill those wishes. :(

Lime

Update on the Trycritis -- it doesn't have any viable seed -- I opened up some pods and there was nothing there --not even unripe seed.

So sorry,
Lime

Lime,

Geez, you mailed 10.3 lbs. of seeds!! :-)
You are very generous. It should be to Dave by Friday according to UPS. No worries!

I just wanted to post and wish all the traders a Happy Thanksgiving! I am very thankful this year that there are so many wonderful gardeners out there that have taken the time to save and share their seeds. In garden lingo, I was "2-trowels-down" this year so I'm really looking forward to this swap! Last year it was a blast :)

And, thanks again Dave for making it all happen for us!

THANKS everyone for the seeds and to lazygardener who did the work sorting and sending.
I've already started some tomatoes and sunflowers.
It's just like a party when new seeds come in the mail.
I got a lot of what I asked for and some interesting things I've never heard of (Kiss me over the Garden Gate? Looked it up on davesgarden.com. Interesting)
Thanks again to all.
Denise in Naples

Hello Dave and all gardeners,
I also received my package yesterday. Thanks for the wonderful seeds! My daughter fell in love with the 'Lumina' Pumpkin seeds, and we are very excited about the sight of white pumpkins in our yard.
Great Round Robin, and I hope to sign up for it again in the future. : )
Happy Holidays to all,

I received mine today - yee haw! A "few" more, Dave? You're a character!

Thank you so much, Dave, for all the hard work, and thank you, all you participants who sent me such great stuff - I'll be a busy girl this winter!

:D

Hi Dave and all--

I got my huge envelope of seeds today, too! WOW! Thank you for all your hard, hard work, and thank your better half for letting you do this over Thanksgiving!

It will be a week before I finish going through all these, looking up the ones I don't know and cataloging them all. I sure have learned a lot since joining Garden Web -- I've had to!

I must say, I got an awful lot of my wishlist, so thanks to all the participants! And again to Dave for figuring it all out. LOL!

Lime

Christmas came early to my house! I got some WONDERFUL SEEDS!!!! SO many from my wishlist, I can't beleive it! I got some new ones that I've never heard of too - which I love - its so fun to find out about new things for my zone.

This was such a great swap. I sure do appreciate all your work. I'm sure everyone does!
And thanks to all you gardeners that sent in such wonderful seeds!!!
Jen

I received my seeds today. Thank you so much to Ron for all of your hard work and to everyone who participated for all of the wonderful seeds.

Happy Holidays,
Andrea

I wanted to add, since I didn't post too much this afternoon (too excited sorting and cataloguing, LOL) - I got many of my "wants" from all of you, and my son will be very excited about the variety of gourds I received.

Thanks again!

Hi,
I received my package today. Thank you all for all of the wonderful seeds and thank you Dave for all of the hard work.

Karen

Dave - I just got my package in tonight! Thank you so much - you did a wonderful job again! You even went into your seed stash for some toad lily - too cool :). Such a nice variety, I'm really getting anxious to start winter sowing now. And I told myself I was only going to do a few container this year - yeah right!!! Thank you everyone - opening my envelope was like being a kid again at christmas time! Too much fun :)

I got my seeds today. It was better than Christmas. It was like openeing a package where someone read my mind and put in everything I wanted most (imagine that, haha). Anyway, thank you everyone so much for sharing all your special seeds for my wish list. I'm even excited about the seeds that I don't even know, like ligularia and angelica.
Thanks and best wishes to all!!!
-Elizabeth

Got mine yesterday. Lots of goodies and again things I didnt know about. Thanks so much to all and Dave. Got lots of wishes. I was at work when they came and dh couldnt wait until six and he tore into my envy before I made it home. Walked in said what we get in the mail. he said on the kitchen table. I looked oh no seeds. Then I went to sit in my chair and almost sat on my seeds! Usually were goggling and taking seeds from each other but he bet me to the punch that time!

Again, thanks to all and to all a good night!!!Merry Christmas

oh...someone send me a plastic envy with masking tape on the front reading favorite light and medium pink. Would love to know what that was. Im thinking maybe painted daisies or asters. Lotsssss of seeds!

I think that was me, clbrickhouse, because I use the masking tape. Yes, Asters. Did I not write that on there LOL? I got some in a trade a couple of years ago so never have known the name of them but love them anyway! Goes for most of my stuff in the garden these days, since I've done an incredible amount of trading over the years. If you know what the painted daisies look like, since you brought them up, the shades of pink are very similiar. Mine start blooming in August but I'm a zone 5. You might get earlier blooms. They are about a foot tall give or take. Very chipper in the garden :). I winter sow them. I finished up my seeds from 2 years ago last year and had a blue one in the mix (bachelor button colored blue). Hopefully I can get them to germinate this year so I can share the seeds of those also. Love when the unexpected pops up in the yard!

Hi Dave...received my package and WOW! Christmas came early for me as once again, you have done a wonderful job!!!! You sent me seeds I've been wanting for a very long time. I can only imagine all the hard work and time you put into this, and it is all very much appreciated. Thanks to those also who helped fulfill some of my wishes!

You can bet I'll be one of the first to sign up for Wish List V!!! Thanks again! - Lisa
