Hi Julie,
I can not keep away, lol! I keep eyeing the post, so I guess it is about time I signed up.
Please click on my email and not the box to contact me, seems some mail is not going through.
Thanks,
Remy

Hi there ya'll-
Welcome Antique Garden Fairy- Jselwa - Bogart Baby and Remy!
So glad you all signed up!
It is shaping up to be quite a nice exchange by the looks of things-
As some of you 4 are having trouble with your mail accounts- look for mail from me- if you do not recieve a note today- email me through my page and I will send another to the return address- I wouldn't want you to miss out!
Julie

Hi, Julie - I'd like to get in, please. I looked at this several times, but because I'm involved in a couple of other swaps, I wanted to be sure I'd be able to get seeds out by the deadline - and I can!

Thanks,
Kim

Julie...I would like to join too!!! I have lots to share!!!
Netta

Hi there Netta and Kim!

It's great to have you join in the fun!

I trust every one has received a welcome/detail letter from me so far- If not please let me know-

Julie

Hi Julie!
I've been eyeing this one too and I think you better sign me up. Sounds like a great swap. I can't wait. I'm going to start packing some up tomorrow. : )

Hi Barb!

~Dawn

Hi Dawn!

You'll love this one - I got the most interesting assortment here! This year I'm sending in lots more seed.

Knowledgeable gardeners here, too, which means good vigorous seed. Great for newbies, too, if you like things out of the ordinary.

Barb

Sign me up Julie!

Deb

Hi there Dawn and Deb!

So glad you could join us!

Julie

If it is not too late please add me to this one too. Thanks for hosting.

Hugs,

Hi there Lisa, Kayla and Jen!

Thanks for joining in on the fun!

Julie

I've been eyeballing some of your lists already and got a few of the "wants" covered. ; ) This is gonna' be great fun!

~Dawn (mamabirrd)

Today I mailed off my seeds to you, Julie! With our weather, and my seed ordering done, there's no point waiting around.

I may have sent more than 5 pkts. of a few - oops - DH heading off to the PO (we don't get delivery to the house we're so far out in the sticks) made me hurry. If I did, sorry, Julie!

Waiting will be hard for this swap. It's the best!

Barb

Hi there y'all-
Just a breif update- we have 27 posted members to our swap- and 14 more days to sign up and a few more than that to send in. I am really pleased with the turn out so far! I have a good feeling that we will really be giving some thanks come Thanksgiving this year, and all over again all during the next growng season!
I want you all to know that my schedule will be quite busy till the 31st- so please- do not worry if I do not respond to any questions or new posts till then- I will do my best to check in- and keep connected with you all- but again- correspondence may have to wait till the 31st.
Remember- this swap is for anyone to join in the fun- whether you have 5 seed packets that qualify- or many more! It is not about how many you can send in- it is about sharing and receiving the special seeds- those named varieties- the rare or unusual seeds- of any type- blooms- foliage- veg- herbs- woodies- you "name" it! And to me- it is also about spreading joy through our gardening with other gardeners.
Thanks again for helping this to be a great exchange!

Julie

Hey there- no worries Barb-
With this many folks signed up a few more than 5 shouldn't really be a problem. It was a number I picked out of thin air in hopes that we wouldn't have too many duplicates sent to each person.
Hey Lookie! Barb said she sent in her envelope!! WOO WHO!!! That means we are getting that much closer to getting our envelopes back!!
Oh- I am excited!

Hey there-
I wanted you all to know- the first envelope for this swap from Barb has been received! Looks like there are several packets already designated for their new homes- and several more just waiting to be "hand picked" for us all!
Oh- we are sure to have a great swap with such great folks and their seeds all in the mix!

Julie

Hi again-
Envelope #2 from Patty- "PattyGrow5" has arrived today!
Things are looking good!

Julie

Oh- P.S.- be sure to add your GW name on your wish list inside your envelope! I would hate to get confused as to who was who, and who wanted what!
Thanks- Julie

Hey Julie - I just found this post and want to get signed up for the swap. With you hosting, I know it's going to be GREAT!

I look forward to hearing from you. Also if you need an extra hand some night, I can stop on my way home from work and help out.

Later
Sandy

Welcome Sandy!!

So good to hear from you again! I do hope your summer went well!
I am so glad you joined in the fun! I agree- I know with all these great folks joining in- this swap will be GREAT!
Thanks for the offer to help as well- you have saved me from myself before- don't be too surprised if I take ou up on your offer (again!)!

Look for mail....

Julie

Hi Julie.
O.K. I've tried to resist signing up but I just can't any longer. I would really enjoy being part of this swap. I have a few rare ones to send along. Please sign me up!
Thank you.
Ann

I wanna join! Is it too late?

Amanda 'romando'

Hi Ann and Amanda!
I came to look at peoples wish lists(I'm glad people want unusual veggies!) and I saw your posts. Somewhere in the above messages, Julie posted that she might not be able to come to the computer much until the 31st. As far I know, the swap is still open. She wrote that people must respond by Nov. 4th. I'm sure she'll be back to write to you both soon.
Remy

Thanks Remy. No problem waiting. Appreciate you posting.
Ann

Julie, my seeds are packed and ready to go - they'll be on their way to you Monday morning.

Wanted to let you know I sent my seeds yesterday. Please let me know when they get there. Thanks again for hosting.

Hugs,
Lisa & Kayla

NEW E-MAIL: watchingthegardengrow@yahoo.com

Julie-
Seeds got mailed today. Conf# 0306 1070 0005 7900 7100
Please let me know when they arrive.
Thanks!
-Elizabeth (zabecc)

Julie, my seeds will be out to you tomorrow. Thanks again! Jenifer.

Hi there- I'm back!
Thanks so much for your patience while I was away!
I want to say welcome to Amanda, Mildred, Pam and Ann! So glad to have you join our exchange! You all should have mail from me-
I received 2 packets whil I was away- another from Barb- barbamaman (Thanks!) and one from Candy- I am pretty sure that is CandyCow- although no GW name - but the home town matches so I feel pretty sure about this envelope...
I do think I may have made an error on my second envelope received- It was from Patty- I had 2 to choose from- and I think I guessed wrong. Patty_B emailed me that she had not gotten a confirmation from me for her sent seeds- Patty-B and Patty Grow5 look for mail from me soon- I am sorry for my error-
PLEASE be sure to add your GW name on the inside note- or if you forgot- put it in the envelope- There are some of you I only can Identify by your GW Name- I do need that info to identify who's seeds are whose!
Thanks so much for making this a great exchange-
Julie

My envelope went to the post office today! Look for it soon...

Amanda 'romando'

I received Simply Lisa's seeds on halloween-
Looks like there will be more arriving any day now!

We still have a few short days left for anyone thinking they may want to join in our fun! Just post below by November 4th- there is no minimum needed to enter- just the requirement that your seeds be a named variety- rare or unsusual! Even if you only have 1 type of seed to fit the bill- if you send in 5 packets of that 1 seed- you should receive 5 different packets back! All for the cost of postage only! It is a fun and easy way to grow more varieties in your garden- and you may even get that elusive treasure you always wanted- or receive a new to you favorite you never even knew existed!
Don't be shy- post away!
Julie

Received seeds from Kim/Drippy And Deb/Fairydancer today-
We have 33 participants including myself- 6 with their envelopes sent in and received so far- and 10 more days to get the seeds on their way-
I do trust every one has received an e-mail from me with my addy and such-
If not- please e-mail me through GW and let me know- and I will send you another note pronto!

Hi Julie,

I wanted to make sure I could furnish seeds, and it looks good, so add me to the list! My email is in the exchange.

Thanks,
Lime

Welcome Lime!
It's good to have you join in our fun! The more the merrier they say! Look for mail....
I have received Zabecc/Elizabeth's seeds today-
I am going to have to get a few large boxes to store these envelopes in till I start sorting....
Oh- BTW- when you send in your seeds- dont skimp on the tape- one enve came partially open- good thing the sender had all of the seeds in a baggie inside the envelope so nothing was lost!
Julie

Hey Julie,
My seeds are flying your way.
I posted them yesterday.
I am rather new & really excited.
I love to try new & unusal plants.
I sent the best one's that I had.
Wasn't sure if I sent enough or
too many packets though.
Wonder what the average sent is ?????
Mildred
Millybug

I mailed mine this morning. Can't wait!
Jen

Hi Julie, just wanted to let you know that the seeds are in the mail.

Hey Julie...mailed mine today! DC# 0306 0320 0004 0367 7399
Thanks!
Netta

Hey there ya'all-
I wanted to give one last shout out for anyone still thinking about joining in on the fun- There is till the close of the day Saturday to sign up for this exchange- don't be shy and let this pass you by- Just post below before Sunday! If you have 1 type of seed that qualifies- just send in 5 packets of that seed and receive 5 different packets back! If you have more than 1 type- well you can send them all if you wish.... It is easy and fun!
For those of you who have signed up- I will close this "New" invatational post- and start another "UPDATE" post with the same 3rd annual named variety/rare/unusual seed exchange subject line for us to use for the follow up posts on Sunday morning.
I received envelopes from Romando/Amanda and JSelwa today! And I would like to add- this IS going to be a good swap for us all! I can tell already!! So many folks are digging deep to find their rare or unsusal or special named variety seeds- It can't help but be good for all of us!!
Mildred- I do believe the smallest envelope received so far was about 20 packets- and the largest- over100! There really is no minimum- so no worries there!
Have a good weekend!
Julie

Hi Julie.
My package went out to you in today's mail. They should get to you by mid-week at the latest. Thank you again for hosting this great swap. You've done a wonderful job organizing everything.
Ann

Hi Julie, I'll be mailing Monday. I had company and have been crazier than usual the past few days.
Beth B

Hey Julie! It's getting cold out and you can sure tell by the activity at work. I should have your package in the mail by Monday!! I've been working on it in the evenings when we're watching tv. (I don't really watch, but he appreciates the companionship on the couch!). I picked some clematis seed heads today, the smaller types are being incredibly slow in setting up this year.

I'm excited and looking forward to seeing what you put together. If I can help over a Saturday let me know.

Lynn

Hi there-
The sign up for this exchange is now closed.
I want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to all who have entered and have made this swap a joy for us all!
For those of you who have signed up and have not sent your seeds- please try to have them in the mail by November 11th. I will do my best to see that they are on their way back to you by November 25th.
I will open a new post for updates to this exchange.

He he he- Lynn! You have a chair full of seeds and chaff too! I hope I never spill a glass of water on that chair!!
I still have 2 bags of bags left to clean- and a few seed heads left to gather... I too agree that many plants set seeds late or not too well at all- but- there is enough to share- and there is always next year!!

Thanks Again-

Julie
