Thanks Nancy...
Mariann

nice to see that this one is really moving smoothly and quickly!

We are doing great. Almost half way through already.

Package arrived yesterday. Reviewed it this morning and it's back in the mail today. I'd get you the confirmation number but it's -11 outside and I just can't brave that nasty weather again to get out to my truck. Thanks again Mariann! There was a wonderful selection.

Carol (prairiewinds) did you manage to get the robin in the mail? 11 degrees burrr... I'd be under the covers. LOL

Mariann

NOTE

If anyone notices numerous pkts. of the same type of seed please try not to add any more. Whenever possible add something different from what is already there. I don't need 15 pkts. of Basil. The original RR contained 30 pkts. of seeds that were all different.

Thanks,
Mariann

When you say duplicate seeds, are we talking about (for example) multiple varieties of basil or many packs of the same type of basil? I certainly don't mind having a unique choice of plants to dig through.

I'm down at the bottom of the list and hope there will be something to choose from. I have a nice selection of seeds to offer, but what I put in will certainly depend upon what is left to take out.

Sounds like this was mailed last Thursday. Carol have you seen the birdie yet?
I want to order some tomatoe seeds and am trying to hold off until I see what is in this RR.
Hopeing to catch a worm or two ;o)

I've emailed Carol (prairewinds) but haven't received a response. I am hoping she just forgot to post the DC#. I will email her again tomorrow.
Mariann

she arrived late yesterday, will fly today, fat birdie. you can't take seeds from a cherry or apple and plant them and get a tree, for whoever put them in. squash seeds cross easily so it is hard to guarantee variety unless they are commercial seeds just a little info. hugs carol

Hey Carol. I grew up in a farmhouse that had ONE cherry tree when I was little. By the time I moved away there was a whole line of them along the fence.Seems the birds sat there to eat them and planted them for us. They were plain old sour cherries but made mighty nice pies.
Hybrids will probably NOT do that and besides it takes YEARS. Not many of us are that patient anymore.
Glad to see this birdie moving I'm getting anxious.

Glad the robin reached you Carol (veeha11).

Note For Reference:
You can depend on Hybrid and Variety seeds to breed true to their name if they are Commercial. Open Pollinated seeds are less dependable especially cucurbits, ie. squash, melons, cucumbers, etc. The exception here are Heirloom seeds which are open pollinated and are usually passed down through generations.

Thanks,
Mariann

Okay what I meant to say is hybrids won't come true to seed,heirlooms or wild ones generally will. It would be nice if you could buy an apple at the store, save the seeds and get a red delicious tree. Robin is on it's way to ZZ confirmation # 03061070000251407754. Thankyou Marianne for a fun robin. I was just tring to let the person who put in apple and black cherry seeds that she probably won't get trees of these varieties from these. thankyou hugs

Thanks,
Mariann

The University Post Office Computer Would Not Accept the Other One.
Sorry for the Mix-Up.

Oh and Mariann...
Not All of Us are Ladies ;0)

Color me red then......

Mariann

Whoooo tomatoes, I can hardly wait.I'm thinking if I could only have one thing in the garden It would have to be a tomato or tomatoes.
Only three more people and then it comes to ME!!! Yeahooo!
Not very ladylike hun? But then my poor mother kept telling me that almost all her life. LOL

I am checking at the PO daily for Robin.
Those tomatoes sound great !!!
Have not tried Heirloom's. So will this year.
Waiting Very Impatiently.
Mildred

WhoooooooHooooo! I can't wait for it to get to me! After the post from Lelan, I went to the local feed & seed store and picked up more of their discarded "starter" plant trays so I can try some of those tomatoes. Looking forward to the Robin's arrival! (Looking forward to Spring too!)Brenda

I'm excited about getting this robin back. Hope there are some heirlooms left. I think we all have spring fever.....

I'm going to Florida on Feb. 3rd for 2 weeks. I know you are all jealous. Depending on where this robin is Beth will keep an eye on things. I'll try and find a computer while I'm down there. Beth suggested a library. I know there is one near where I am staying hope they have Internet Access.

I've really enjoyed hosting this RR. As far as I'm concerned it has gone very well. I have made several notation posts I hope everyone has read them. All of you have made this a real pleasure.

Mariann

Beth... good to know that you would like to grow tomatoes. I have a few that will go in the box and in your direction plus a bunch more. Looking forward to getting the box myself.

The Robin landed in my box Fri the 26th.
There is a lot of "Good Stuff" in there.
I will get it back into the mail on Mon.
Brenda get ready -- it's flying your way!
Mildred

Robin is in flight again.
Con # is: 03041560000706250973.
It has a nice verity -- I took a coule of your
tomatoes, Lelan, & am really ancious to try them.
I put in some extra wild lennon tree seed.
It is such a pretty little tree & the lemmons
are so good & so pretty on the tree.
Wish every one could have one!
Mildred

Wonderful Milly! I will be on the lookout! My seeds are all packed and ready to take a trip and my starter trays are ready for those who will be staying with me. Spring can't get here quick enough! Brenda

The Chubby Robin landed today. What a terrific assortment! I took out a few of Lelan's tomatoes, some Onion, Endive, Parsley, Fennel, Papaya, Mildred's Wild Lemon, and Gourd seeds. I put in the following: Jalapeno, Banana, & Cayenne Pepper, Egg Plant, Sweet, & Purple Basil, Watermelon, Dill, Carrots, Radishes, Cauliflower, and some climbing Spinach. I put 2 packs of most. There are still lots of tomatoes and lots of other great seeds to choose from. I will put Robin back into flight tomorrow to "Klickatat" (Jules) and will give you the confirmation number as soon as I get back from the post office. Marianne, thank you so much for hosting this RR and keeping us organized. Let me know when you host another. Brenda

Thanks Brenda
This robin is getting closer to me. I guess I'll have to put in another veggie garden. I couldn't have asked for a nicer group to participate in my first RR.

As I said Beth is going to keep an eye on things here in case I can't find a computer in Florida. Of course there are only 2 players left before the robin returns to me. What a nice homecoming that will be.

Just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who have taken part. You've made this a fun and rewarding experience.

Mariann

It sounds like an exciting assortment of seeds. I've been anxiously waiting to see what kind of tomatoes were there but it sounds like lots and lots of fun things are in the robbin. I can hardly wait and it's getting closer.
Beth

Okay........I goofed........and I am very sorry.... Hopefully, there will be no problem...This morning I got a call from Darling Son who needed me to babysit ailing Darling Granddaughter.....Of course, I said 'sure'. Darling Hubby offered to take my package to the post office and again, I said 'sure'. Well, he mailed it to (klickitat) Jules but forgot to get a confirmation number. I am sooooo sorry. You get into the habit of doing things a certain way and forget to give very explicit instructions when you allow someone else to help!!! I will stay on pins and needles until it arrives. Everyone, keep your fingers crossed and keep positive thoughts. Jules PLEASE let me know as soon as it arrives....Brenda

Brenda, if I had sent my DH out to mail something he'd do the same thing. He needs explicit instructions too. I'm sure the robin will arrive safe and sound.

Mariann

Fat robin did not arrive today. :( However, I'm hoping tomorrow will be the day. Saturday will not be as good as I work weekends and it won't be refilled and mailed until Monday.

I'll be sure to post its arrival and departure. Can't wait for it to arrive!!!

Ok, everyone. I managed to finally put all my seeds into bags. I snagged 20 seed packets and add in 23 of my own. They're on their way to Beth today. DC# 03051720000098458277

Great swap, Mariann!!!

Beth did you get the robin yet? I am at the library. Thought I'd check in.

Sounds like everything is going well.

Mariann

hi mariann, just dropping in on this one to see if it had come back to you yet and to check on all those tomato seeds, not to mention all the others, but i think we all got a little excited about the tomatoes that lelan put in the box!

are you back from your trip yet?

maryanne

Hi Mariann The robin is here and ready to come home whenever you are headed back. Or, I can just send it if you have a neighbor picking up the mail.
It looks like everyone was excited about the tomatoe seeds from Lelan as there were very few left when it got here. I thought Lelan was putting some in with my name on them but when it arrived, the only tomatoes were "Gumdrop" and "Brandywine".
It is a nice fat little bird. I took three packs of seeds and added some herbs and a couple tomatoes.
She is ready to fly home as soon as the coop is ready
Thanks for a nice robin Mariann

Thanks again everyone who participated.
