    Yes, the package arrived today, however I didn't get home until very late. I'll dig through it tomorrow and see if I can get it out the same day. Otherwise, it will be Monday before it can go out as I work weekends.

    It feels good and heavy! Can't wait to see what's inside!!!

    Hi all! I haven't been keeping up with this thread enough, I just realized you posted due dates. I will be away Dec 20th thru 29th so you may want to bump me up one or save me for last. I just don't want the package getting lost at my post office.

    Thanks!!

  • giverny4me

    Yes I would do this again too, I am just now collecting many new varieties here in NW FL that are finally drying out....and let me tell you Jules will need time to relax and go through those seeds. I had to get my garden directory out to look some of them up! /Susan

  • sguanzon
    17 years ago

    Yes, I'd be interested in another round too!

  • klickitat
    17 years ago

    I would hope this package makes a second round! There is sooooooooooo much stuff in here to do that!

    Today I'm working on a graduate paper that is due today... so once it's all over with I'll scrummage through the box and make my exchanges. :)

    Ok, girls. I'm not going to hold us up any longer. I'll be digging through the box after putting up the Christmas decorations today. I'm extra tired today after working double shifts this weekend.

    Later I'll post what I took and what was added. Until then...

    well mellen welcome love to have you :))) the way its going it might be jan 1st when it gets back here :))
    so I will freshen her up and we will fly again .

    here are the ones that want back in so far.
    so post here or send me an email if you want back in .
    just know that this will have no gifts & will be in a bigger bubble mailer so it will still cost about 3.85 to

    Ok girls. Sorry for the delay in sending the box out. I got the flu vaccine on Sunday leading to terrible body aches yesterday. :( Today I'm much better and just have pain at the injection site. Spent most of the time yesterday sleeping despite the fact that my semester is wrapping up and there's tons of homework due.

    Box is going out in half an hour... confirmation number 03052710000256803420

    I only took out 7 packs of seeds and added in 10. I would have inserted more, but I've held the box long enough. Also threw in two kooky gifts... one for a wine enthusiast and the other... well, let Lil Green Thumb fill you in on that secret. I took out the Christmas ornament as our tree is a little sparse considering it no longer sits in the corner and is more exposed.

    Everything is being shipped in a new box. The last one was in bad shape and already something got broken (though easily repaired). Bigger box plus polar bear p00p. I placed all the seeds in one bag and the gifts in a bigger bag to keep them all together.

    Well, enjoy the trades!

    ok since the box is off just a day or 2 then I need to know if maybe we can change the route just a bit .
    Julie is going to be gone the 20th -29th & well so we don't run the chance of having it sitting around we
    can move her up to receive from lil_green_thumb :)))
    I do hope that is ok for brittneygran or if your going to be gone we can figure out something else , please let me know .

    Susie, please sign me up for Round 2!!!
    No little gifts in it though? bummer. :((
    Oh well, I'm sure you will come up wiht something even more fun!
    Susann ~ DizzyDaffodil

  • beth_b_kodiak
    17 years ago

    Well, I'd vote for no gifts for round two. I've always got too much "stuff" and am much more interested in just the seeds. Everybody is different but I hate to be paying for postage on a lot of "Stuff".
    Not to be a grouch about it but I'd rather see more emphasis on the seeds than all the little goodies. Just my opinion and thank goodness we are all different.
    I'm getting anxious and hope the Christmas rush doesn't slow this birdie down too much. I want to do some wintersowing and hope to find some exciting goodies to add to my seed stash. Looks like it will need to make it to two houses each week in order to get back to Sue before '07....... possible but not a sure bet.
    Come on little birdie. Fly! Fly! Fly hard and fast.

  • remy_gw

    Hi all,
    Someone wants some of my tomato seeds. They have all tropical stuff that I can't use. Is anyone interested in any of the following seeds from their list? I'll trade for whatever and put them in the box.

    Camptotheca acuminata " Cancer Tree"
    Carica Papaya Sunrise/Hawaiian Solo
    Abutilon grandifolium "Flowering Maple"
    Coffee arabica " Coffee"
    Beaucarnia Guatemalensis
    Acer Palmatum
    Alstonea Scholaris "Pagoda tree"
    Schefflera arboricola "Hawaiian schefflera"

    Wow, what a box! I can see why you've decided to leave out the gifts next time, that baby was heavy. The gifts were so fun though. I helped myself to Klick's wine gift - love it- and the kids went crazy for the Christmas tree stickers. I added a couple of books to the gift bag.

    I only took 2 packs of seeds (banana peppers -yum- and lilliput zinnias) I added a bunch more and there's also an envelope in there for Susie.

    I will get the box out on Monday and will post back when I do.

    Hi Ladies :
    well I'm Not sure whats going on I know shirley was going away the 15th but don't know when she will be back .
    also beth mentioned she was going to be going on a trip
    But not sure when I thought this month sent email no note back anyone know ??

    If she she then I"m going to have Jules send to REMY & then have the box sent back to me then as soon as Beth & shirley return from their trips I will start the New round with them . I hope everyone will be ok with that .
    Beth if you are still here & want to receive the box please let me know ok ?

    Just wanted to let you know, the seeds just got here.

    17 years ago

    Hi All,
    I got the pkg. ready to go to Beth DC #0305 1720 0002 5542 3155. I'll be going to the post office this afternoon.
    I took out 16 pkts. and added 120 pkts. So all you ladies will have a good start to the second go round.
    I ran out of paper pkts., so thank you to whomever put some in there because I used them : ) I took the garden book, thank you to whomever put that in there.
    The life preserver wall hanging came to me broke, but it can be reglued so I left it in the box. I added a few goodies including Kleenex, lol. It is a good box cushion/filler! I still have hardly made a dent in the case Gary won.
    Remy

  • remy_gw

    Beth,
    It is on its way to you. I wonder if it will take much longer because of this week?
    Remy

  • beth_b_kodiak
    17 years ago

    Well, Remy, it "MIGHT" get here on Sat. We are only two or three states apart. If not it will be something to look foreward to after Christmas.
    120 packs added!!! Holy mackeral approx how many packs are in there?? I'll feel like I woke up in a GW Parks seed store when I open that box. Maybe a better question is "How big is the box?" Every once in a while theguys at the PO say You better just drive around back and we'll load it for you. Then I wonder how I'm going to get it in the house. LOL
    It will be quite exciting to see what is in there.

  • remy_gw
    17 years ago

    Lol Beth. There is full gallon ziplock bag in there, looks like an overstuffed accent pillow.
    I went a little nuts, but it is all great varieties. I put some from my garden in, and I knew the box was coming so I held onto a lot of extra seed I had received in trade recently. I got many great things I just cant use, or the trade was more than I could use, so there aren't many duplicates of varieties. And about 40 of the pkts. are veggie varieties, because some people had them on their wish lists.
    Remy

  • skohler

    WOW IF There May be to many seed packs to put in a
    Bubbler to go back around the 2nd time . think maybe we should Have 2 bubblers ????

    Beth you will send to Brittneygram If she is back
    you might have to keep till after christmas :))

    Not sure How long shirley was going to be gone.
    but check with me before you mail ok :))
    you should get the box this sat if all goes well :)
    well have a great day ladies

    The box was at the PO yesterday ( I never got there on Friday so it may have even been there then). I went through it last night and took out 18 packs. Many of then veggies from Remy. Wow Remy you put in a lot of nice stuff.
    Since most of the others were not identified I'm not sure who else to thank but it was a fun bunch of seeds to go through. Some I never saw or heard of before.
    Thanks to Sue for hostessing.
    I'll be keeping the lighthouse ornament to fix and replacing that with something else before sending the box back out.
    Susie, just let me know where to send it.
