NEW: Adopt-A-Newbie!!!

18 years ago

OK....

If you are a Garden Web Newbie (within the past month or so) and have virtually NO seeds to trade with, post here and announce yourself as a newbie. Send me an e-mail with a "wish list" so that I can gather all of you together and send you my address.

You might even post some wishes here, so we might be able to focus on some specifics.

I will do my best to accomodate wish lists....but many might be seeds you can use for trading....just list them as received from a trade.

Veterans....who has lots of seeds left over??? All kinds...you know who you are!! Let's get into the Christmas spirit and share what we have to give these eager young Newbies a place to call "home". :o)

Post here that you will participate and then E-mail me for my addy!

Any types of seeds are wanted, for as we all know, that is how we got started!

Deadline for posting here is December 15th and the Deadline for receiving all envelopes (whether contributions from vets or SASBE's from the newbies) will be December 31st. This will leave some time for winter sowing, if they want to do that.

I will e-mail the newbies individually when your seeds are on their way!

Have I left anything out?? If so, please tell me, as this will be my first attempt at a Round Robin (and of a different kind)!!!

Let's have fun and give, give, give!!! :o)

    Hi all,
    I'm a newbie. I've never WS'd anything and am almost afraid to! I would love to learn from all of you the secrets behind WSing successfully. As for seeds, I'm looking for just a few:

    - Campanula
    - Heliopsis
    - English delphinums
    - Salvia (clary)
    - Sundrops (tall variety, sorry, I forget the name!)
    - Butterfly weed
    - Columbine (any yellow variety)
    - Larkspur
    - Poppies (any kind)

    Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

    Hi! A new garden friend I made (DirtySC8) :) directed me to here! I currently have been making some seed trades the last few months but have never attempted to grow any yet...DirtySC8 has shown me some wonderful advice for winter-sowing and I am very interested in doing this. This will be my first for any seeds. I would love very much to be included in receiving any seeds that would be good to winter-sow for my very cold zone 5 area. Just a few different varieties would be nice since I do not have alot of yard space to use. Thanks so much!

    Hi All,
    I have been lurking forever in the orchid section but am really new to seeds. I just bought a house with a big yard and would love to fill it to the brim with flowers and herbs! I have sunny, semi-shady, and shady spots to put seeds in, I love fragrant flowers and vines (no morning glories or ivies please! They grow like weeds in my soil and choke out everything else!) I am so excited about this round robin as it would have cost me hundreds to buy seeds to plant in my barren garden! Thank you so much to everyone who gave seeds, I hope to reciprocate once I have seeds collected! Here are some plants I absolutely love although anything is welcome at this point in time:
    Daturas
    Marigolds
    Poppies
    Lilies
    Irises (don't quite know if these come in seeds)
    Herbs of any kind
    Gazinias
    Gerber daisies
    Hollyhocks
    Gladiolas
    Calendula
    Hostas
    Sweet peas
    Cone Flowers
    Love in a mist
    Nasturtiums
    Anyway, you get the idea, I LOVE LOVE LOVE flowers! Thanks again and happy holidays!

    You are doing a wonderful gift to many with this newbie give away! I was new last year to seed collecting and sowing, and was helped by many (you inclueded) with seeds to get me started and helped again this year by many GW'rs when I lost a lot of my garden to a hail storm. My sister just sent up another collection of seeds from her co-workers in Kansas and I would love to send them in. I see things on some newbies list that they would fit their wish! Please send me your mailing info.

    Many bloooms to everyone!!

    Hi Kat, I think we have traded before. Not exactly a newbie, avid gardener, and once worked in a specialty greenhouse in New Orleans where we grew 90% from seed, lots of open pollinated and heirloom. Totally wiped out by Katrina. Closed on a house here in North Georgia yesterday (hubbies dream), leave for N.O. sometime next week to rip out mouldy plaster! Need everyhing and everything that might grow in zone 7a. Email me the address to send my SASE. This will be a godsend, Hope to have small greenhouse up by January. New email is kientz1000@earthlink

    Hello everyone, I am a newbie as several of my posts earlier this fall indicated. I have gathered and purchased a moderate amount of seed for year one, so not looking for all of your wonderfull and gracious offers of additional seeds. My success/failure rate will certainly help determine how to adjust my seed gathering next year. But certainly speaking for all the newbies, this WS community is oh so generous and most of all FUN. It's getting so close to sowing time and I just can't wait. Good Luck to all and HAPPY SOWLIDAYS :).

    I am not really new to Gradenweb but new to winter sowing, does that count. I dont normally start things from seed but want some Arborvitae 'Green Giant' trees and the are so expensive I decided to try it. And then of course I found the winter sowing forum and was hooked from there...lol
    I would like to have any kind of Hardy Hibiscus seed, and some ground cover seeds for a bare bank in my front yard.

    Hey, Webkat.

    How new do you have to be? I started in August and recently got burned on a large trade so my collection for next spring was almost used up. Do you think I could get in on this RR? If not it's ok...there will be others that are tempting.

    I just had a member who was very genrous with her seeds so I have some extras I could contribute to the pot also. As you may remember from our previous trades I'm not picky with my choices but any black flowers or black foliage seeds would be highly prized by me right now.

    LMK.

    I'd like to add my name if I might...I'm new to sharing seed,and would like a few,if someone can share some.I can't figure out how to make a list of what I have to offer,as the journal seems to get me nowhere...so I'll just post...sorry,I just don't know how to do it properly.
    I have...hollyhocks,and giant marigolds....
    I'd like...lavender,dill,rosemary,and anything that might thrive in my almost totally sunny yard. I do veggie gardens also,thank you very much. Happy Holidays to all!!

    Oh Boy! Yet ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT


    Yeaaaaa!! My final has been taken and my class is now over!!

    Just talked to the P.O. and they said they have a couple BAGS
    of packages waiting there for me!! Aaaaak!!

    Guess I better get my hiney over there!!
    I will update the arrivals here when I can go through them all and log them in....

    One other thing....
    some of the vets have offered to allow me to keep some of the seeds.
    While this is a wonderful gesture,
    and one I most sincerely appreciate :o)....
    I currently have over 500 different types and need more seeds
    like I need another hole in my head!! LOL!
    I will continue to trade with those searching for specific items that I have,
    but in need of seeds, I am not....it's all for the Newbies!!
    Yipee!!!! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!

    HI all :o0

    I sure can't be called a newbie either to GW nor gardening in general. I am however back to square one. My home was in St.Bernard Parish, what you can think of as a burb of New Orleans. Yep when I say starting over I mean all over. I am happy to say that while I did lose my home and all within both my wife and I are well. We are also most lucky in that the house that I had been building (with my own two hands I always add ;o)in Ms. came through with out any harm. The house is just a shell, I was to start with the electric last Oct., so its a bit rough now but all is starting to come together. We just got into a FEMA trailer this past weekend and that has gotten us out of the cold, we now have a bed (no more air matress and can take a shower!

    I tell ya all this so you understand that while I am not a newbie any help with seed would be greatly welcome. I am mainly in need of any vegetable seed you can share to help feed the family this spring. I'm breaking raw land so won't have a ready space till then.

    Thank you!

    Mike

    HO, HO, HO!!!!!

    So, some of you might be wondering, "How in the world is she keeping it all straight??"
    Well, just in case you ever want to do this some day...I will tell you! :o)


    First, I have some time on my hands around the holiday season because I am on a break from college and, quite frankly, even though I am still working, I just couldn't think of any better way to spend all of my "extra time", wink, wink! Also, the P.O. is working with me a little by holding the envelopes for a couple days....they wouldn't fit in my mailbox and this way we are insured there won't be any unnecessary freezing incidents!!


    Second, I have different "mailboxes" set up on e-mail program. One for Newbies, one for Vets, one for vet packs received, one for newbie SASBE's received, and finally one for "Done-mailed". As the status changes for each participant, the e-mails get moved around.


    Third, I have wish lists typed up, printed out and attached to the newbie's SASBE envelopes.


    Fourth, as the veteran packs come in, and I know this part seems tedious, I log in each seed by type and quantity. Instead of wading through all of the seed packs when trying to fulfil wish lists, I can just refer to my list and jot the Newbie name down by each seed. Then I will just line up the envelopes, spread the seed packs in front of me, have my list handy for reference, and then pick up a seed pack and toss it in the proper envelope....and on from there. Now of course, this is how smoothly it is going in my mind and have not tested this method (LOL), but it seems to be the easiest route. I certainly appreciate the vets designating a portion, if not all, of their seeds....that is going to help immensely!!


    Fifth, I am using "form letter" e-mails to a certain extent for directions, etc... I have the Newbies in a group list in my address book and the veterans have their own group list in my address book. This also insures privacy for all involved. Gotta think of everything!!


    Well, there it is....in a nutshell.....my plan. Now, I certainly hope everyone will follow through as one side does depend on the other....


    Everyone should end up with that "warm & fuzzy feeling" (as veteran garden_witch wants in return :o) ) this holiday season!!!


    Keep 'em coming!!!

    WebKat,
    Newbie here. I would love to participate! Searched trade lists and this is what I came up with for my wish list, however I'll be happy with anything other than the river rock and few weeds currently thriving in my front yard. I guess that was the previous owners idea of xeriscaping. Anyway, here goes:

    Datura (Metel or?)
    Canna (any, have orange)
    Trumpet Vine
    Lilium (any)
    Monarda Didyma
    Pyrus Communis, Keifer
    Butterfly weed
    Ratibida Columnifera, Mexican Hats
    Liatris (any)
    Malva Sylvestris, Braveheart
    Papaver (reds, yellows, pinks, purple)
    Cardinal Climber
    Verbascum (any)
    Red Hot Poker
    Lychnis, Angel's Blush
    Echinacea (any)

    Big task you've taken on, and during finals! You're brave. I'ld like to help and send extra stamps with my sasbe.
    Thanks, Krissy

    ATTENTION NEWBIES!!

    For all of the Newbies whose e-mail addresses were hidden, I have attempted to e-mail you via Garden Web.
    The majority have e-mailed me (thanks!)....and if you have heard from me, then disregard this... :o)

    However, if you have not received instructions from me, I need you to respond (send me an e-mail) with your e-mail address to confirm your participation. I have no other way of getting ahold of you....

    So....if you have been wondering why you haven't received SASBE instructions, it is because I can't send them if I don't have your e-mail address. :o) I would really hate to see you miss out on this just because you didn't e-mail me..... :o( DEADLINE IS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT (CST)!!!

    Thanks!!

    OK, yes I am a Newbie.
    Also new to outdoor flowers. I want to plant alot of summer flowers that will re-seed. I have 2 acres to work with now and am looking to do alot of different beds. I love all flowers but have no seeds to share. I want to do the natural looking beds rather than all things lined up. I like the monarda, bellflower, coneflower & black eyed susans. Does anyone have seeds? I promise, I will have seeds to share when I get this going.
    Thanks
    Cindy

    Cindy, this thread is out of date and inactive. There is a different adopt-a-newbie thread that is more current and active. Please re-post to it, thanks.

    The adopt-a-newbie thread has been updated. It is now called "sponsor a newbie." It was started by wilmoth (Donna.) If you're new, Welcome to Gardenweb! :)

    Please post to the "sponsor a newbie" thread, not here. Thanks. :)

    Hi. I am VERY new (today) and I am new to gardening. We just bought our very first house this fall, and I can not wait to garden. What is easy for a new gardener?

    I am in Maryland and I am willing to send a SASE.
    My family loves tomatos, potatoes, strawberries, string beans, but I want to do others as well.
    Any advice or seeds is greatly appreciated :)
