    I will wait until Monday to see if they contact me over the weekend. And then I will most likely pack them up and send them off on Tuesday or Wednesday depending on the the contact so they should be recieved my the first week of Dec...

    Mulberry, if it's a fruited variety rather than fruitless, it is well worth the wait. I'm not sure why, other than they're messy, but back in West Texas, almost every yard had a fruitless mulberry. I always wanted the fruited one! What's not to want about it? hee hee (Now, if spoonie doesn't respond, we might have a fight over those precious seeds, girl! hahahaha)

    Blessings,
    Angela

  • countrycarolyn

    They are fruited the taste is better than any blackberry, dewberry, or raspberry, I have ever eaten. The berries are at least an inch long and half an inch thick. Yummmm!!!! The tree itself is a beautiful tree, with huge glossy leaves.

    As far as I am concerned, angela if you want them, then they are yours. They will need to be stratified, or you can winter sow them.

  • riley17

    You wouldn't happen to have any more mulberry seeds would you? I'd be so happy to do a trade with you if you do and there's anything on my list you would like. :)
    Thanks,
    Holly

  • countrycarolyn

    Riley I have some that I have been stratifying, I would be happy to send them to you. Just shoot me an email.

    Well I have emailed spoonie and waited until today and there was response. But I did notice she signed up for another swap the christmas card wishlist one. So I will mix her seeds today and then get the envies ready to take and get mailed. Hopefully they will make their ways back to you next week.

    Ok I just spent almost an hour at the post office. Thank goodness it is a small one and not too busy of a place. Which is good. Anyways the packages are on the way. And those of you who said to use the extra stamps and change for others postage I thank you. Since there were a few who did indeed need some extra.

    And for some reason I have some left stamps and some left over change so when you get your packages back and think that I forgot to put the left overs in please let me know so I can get it right back out to you. There was a bit of a mess up I kinda lost track on one package and it threw the rest into a mess.

    So please post and let others know what you got or just to say hey it came and thanks. Since Shanta can't post I will relay her message when she emails me. Thanks so much

    I got mine! I got mine! (I'm not excited, can you tell? :)) Thanks so much to everyone! I am thrilled with it all - the different varieties of dianthus I received - and dianthus does so well here - well, that alone would make a beautiful garden. A special thanks to those of you who sent me echinacea tennesseensis, which is native to the area but scarce and on the federally endangered list - I want to help bring it back!

    Paulan, you did a fabulous job. I think I got everything I asked for - like Christmas!

    Hope that all of you have a great holiday season - yippee, I am off to sow some seeds.

  • bev2009
    13 years ago

    Mine arrived! Doesn't it feel like Christmas? I had so much fun looking at each packet. Thank you to everyone! This was so much fun and so well run, thanks Paula! Now I have to go look up the ones I know I requested, but can't remember what they looked like. I never get bored because I forget so much and have to look things up again, which I enjoy because you always stumble upon interesting information. No it's not dementia, just remaining a natural blond until the age of 58! I'm sure once I turn gray, the blonde brain cells will turn off.

  • tkhooper

    Woohoo, I received my seeds today. I'm so excited about all of them I hardly know where to start. I'm definitely going to put some of the lilies in the soil now. And I'm very curious about the double feverfew. I don't think I've ever seen that. And the yellow blackberry lilies are going to be just terrific. And the plume celosia are going to be so welcome in my garden. Thank you all for your seeds to add to my garden.

  • canyonwind

    My seeds have arrived! You were all so generous. Thanks so much. What a fun seed swap!

    Paula, thanks for all your time on this. However, you were a bad girl. You sent the change back...you were supposed to keep it. It was your handling fee...LOL!

    Happy Thanksgiving weekend. Be well and be safe!

I hope you are all as happy with your packages as I am with mine. Thank you again. And I ecspecially appreciate Paula and all the hard work she did in arranging this. Four stars****

    Ok so here we go aagain. hehe

    And thanks you guys and gals. All I did was to shuffle the deck and then deal out the cards or seed packets as the case may be. You guys are the ones who made this great by sharing with other people with no assureance that you would get what you wanted if anything in return. Now that is great in these times.

    Happy belated birthday, Paula! I'm so sorry I haven't checked the thread in so long. I got a wonderful assortment. I was just so blown away and happy at how everyone cared to pick things out that I love! Thank you all!

    I would have posted sooner, but I've been really sick with a gallbladder infection/attacks almost for over 3 weeks now. I passed several stones now, though, and am working on herbal remedies which are helping greatly.

    Anyways, thank you all so very much! I had a very general list and somehow you guys picked out some truly awesome things for my garden. I very much appreciate it!

    Blessings,

    Ok Well Angelady recieved her package so that leaves Phantom_white as the last one to post that her packaga arrived safe and sound. We are still waiting for her to tell us that they did in fact arrive safe and sound. I am just so glad that everyone got a kick out of what they got. I am glad this went off without too much trouble. Nice job with sharing your stash with as many people as you could and for that I thank you.
