| WOW! you don't let anyone get bored on this site, you've got to be wide awake or you miss the boat to such wonderful things! I'm so excite about this one because i went all so gongho on perennials and other things that my bread and butter veggy stash is near depletion. And, I dared thinking of volunteering to host the June month LOL, since I do love weird, rare and giant plants, and so thought that my fear of doing it will be taken over by the excitment of seeing what others might have... but just as well, the monmth is taken, 'll give me more time to get my feet wet on GW.

| Hi guys! Kathy and I Have heard some concerns about the theme for the March swap, Feeding Frenzy. While we are an edibles group, some felt that swapping seeds to feed the critters was not an idea that really reflected the purpose of the group. So with that in mind, would anyone be against changing the theme of the March swap to something more suitable for the group? We were even thinking of taking an already accepted theme that had been agreed to be done at a later month and just bump it up earlier to March. We were thinking of putting November's Ethinic favorites idea in place for March and then just coming up with a new idea for November at a later date. Please let us know your opinion, ideas, or whether agree or disagree or any other feelings about this Thanks! Christy |
|
- Posted by booberry85 z5NY (becky@leadsafe.us) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 15:03
| I don't mind if you change the theme. Have you asked Pixie about it? |
|
- Posted by bonechickchris 7A/6B NJ 08731 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 15:12
| I know Kathy tried to contact her and has not received a response yet. Also, in the buried treasure rr, poeple have been trying to contact her for about a month with no response. So hopefully, all is ok with her? Christy |

| With St. Patrick's Day in March, how about a green veggie swap? Bonnie |
|
- Posted by booberry85 z5NY (becky@leadsafe.us) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 18:19
| Bonnie I was thinking that to. Lots of green edibles to play with. |
|
- Posted by bonechickchris 7A/6B NJ 08731 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 8, 09 at 18:48
| Thats a goodie!! Since Easter will be around the corner, we can do a spring holiday theme, and swap St Patricks Day color (green) and themed seeds and Easter color (pastels) and themed seeds (like jelly bean tomato, Easter egg radish)etc. what do you guys think? Christy |
|
- Posted by ncgardengirl 7b 8a NC (My Page) on Fri, Jan 9, 09 at 2:23
| About Pixie I do not know for sure what is going on with her BUT she hasn't posted in a while, on any forums. She was supposed to have started back to school this semester so I don't know if she is just too busy or what is going on. Someone might just want to fill in for the month just in case she doesn't come back to host it, so if someone else can be a back-up. Just in case. :) Fran |
|
- Posted by highalttransplant z 5 Western CO (My Page) on Fri, Jan 9, 09 at 9:11
| I'm willing to be a back up for the swap, but have never hosted before, so I hope it's one of those where we assign partners, instead of one where everyone sending stuff to my house, and I have to sort it all out, LOL. I'm hosting the April I.H. swap, so I'm going to have to learn how to do it anyway, right? Bonnie |
|
| I really like the idea of a Spring Fling Holiday Swap. What a better way to start the planting season off than a tribute to the greenest and most spiritualy rejuvenating holiday of the year,St. Patrick's Day-and of course- Easter, the Holiday connected with rebirth and life and hope. So ...yes I am ok with a change of themes :) And I am hoping that all is well with Pixie. |

- Posted by bonechickchris 7A/6B NJ 08731 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 9, 09 at 11:53
| here i was worried that we would be in a pinch to come up with a new theme in time, so we would need to bump up an already thought of theme,, I should of known that you guys would come up with an awesome idea in like 24 hours? And a title too! What is wrong with me???? haha! So if everyone agrees, I think The Spring Fling Holiday Swap would be great! Any more opinions about it? Christy |
|
- Posted by southerncharm1 Orlando, FL Z9 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 9, 09 at 13:07

| Hey I got a new idea for a swap. You know me I'm full of ideas! LOL! How about a Fire & Ice theme. Think Heat Miser and Snow Miser. For Fire you could send seeds with the words: fire, flame, hot, heat, blazing, volcano, inferno or are hot & spicy or are bright red. For the Ice, you could send things that have: ice, snow, crystal, icicle, white or are white in color. Here's a blast from the past below! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Snow Miser & Heat Miser

| Becky, I think that sounds like a great idea! Wish I had thought of that, LOL! Kathy, since I see that I'm hosting the March swap now, I'll get a sign up thread going by the end of the week. I've got several things for that one already! Bonnie |

| OMG! That is one of my favorite Christmas shows when I was a kid! I tell my husband that he looks like HEat Miser when he is mad!!!!! That is so cool! I want to do it! You are awesome Becky! I just wish we could do all the new ideas sooner! Oh Kathy, tell me your ideas! Sorry everyone that my mind has been in the tomato gutter! SO awesome! the Miser Bro's Swap! I love it! Christy |

| Ok, it must be a sign Becky! Right after I posted, and I mean RIGHT AFTER, I just found a show on the Search for Santa Clause!!!! So the Miser Bros Swap has to be a go! I love Christmas!!!!! (Well, my dad named me after it!) I do have to say, don't laugh, but with me doing so much work on the tomato swap, I still have not taken down my Christmas tree! Ok, now you can laugh at me!!!!! Christy |

| Oh I think that is an awesome idea! Fire and Ice, would fit perfectly for the December swap. Is everyone ok with this? :) Quoted idea from Becky - "You know me I'm full of ideas! LOL! How about a Fire & Ice theme. Think Heat Miser and Snow Miser. For Fire you could send seeds with the words: fire, flame, hot, heat, blazing, volcano, inferno or are hot & spicy or are bright red. For the Ice, you could send things that have: ice, snow, crystal, icicle, white or are white in color." Bonnie, remember to have lots of fun hosting! :) IF you should need any help with tweaking it, let me or Christy know. We'd be more than happy to help you out with that. I'm so excited and glad that we changed it to the Spring Fling!!! That opened the door for soooo many fantastic ideas for my partner, I have to start getting the goodies together as I have found what I was looking for. :D Christy, I'll send you an email. I meant to do it after I posted that but got side tracked.ROFL My hubby just looks like a grouch when he gets mad! :D I've caught myself daydreaming about all the "Big" swaps" and what, OMG what goodies will I be getting back. I feel like a little kid at Christmas time! lol I won't laugh about the tree, we just put ours in storage after it just sitting here since a few days after Christmas. lol

| Ok ladies I just had an idea. I know you can probably smell the smoke already and are looking around with that puzzled look... So now you know where it's coming from... ROFL! My idea is that we could start a birthday list and each month each participant could send a card with a small pack of seeds to the special birthday person/s. Let me know if you would like to participate by sending me your birthdate/Real name/GW name and address. :) |

| Just bumping this one up here. Kathy, are you still hosting a swap for September? If this is not a go, then I can just combine the IE and IH swap as one, for the Ethnic swap, this way it can give people a break and have only one swap. As said in the IH event thread, it seems pretty much a go to make the Ethnic swap this month for IH (and IE if noone is hosting this month), and do a mass bean swap hosted my me in November here for IE, since November will be a better time to do a bean swap, since it is still early for a bean harvest. I am hosting both, so it should have no confusion or change anything anyone else is hosting or doing. With the bean swap, the usual post for sign ups, if in November, would be early October, however, I will probably post a little earlier than usual like I did with the mass tomato swap to get a good sign up. I think the bean swap would be a good way to get others to participate, instead of just our usual group of people. So, even though I would have the send in by date in later October, and have all the beans sent back out to everyone in November, I may start sign ups for it in September. Does that sound ok? |
|
- Posted by southerncharm1 Orlando, FL Z9 (My Page) on Thu, Aug 13, 09 at 10:44
| Christy if you don't mind combining them that would be awesome! I'm up to my neck in stress right now and completely forgot about hosting this month. Sorry for the unload but life is not at all peachy right now. |
|
- Posted by booberry85 z5NY (becky@leadsafe.us) on Thu, Aug 13, 09 at 11:36
| MMMMmmmmmm! Ethnic favorites! (I feel like Homer Simpson saying that!) I'm all Eastern European by heritage but my taste buds & tummy are Italian, Greek & Lebanese. Kathy, sorry to hear things aren't going well for you right now. |
