| This is a variation of the adopt-a-newbie formally arranged swap. At some point in the past I think this version was done at least once (maybe by accident, but it worked nicely), and a few folks helped keep the newbie list maintained. I'm hoping that we can make that work again.
***Newbies are newbies if they are truly new to Gardenweb, OR are not new to GW but new to trading and seeds, OR could really use help with seed access. Adopters can adopt whomever they please, and so can select according to their own wishes and criteria. These adoptions are for seeds primarily (though can include plants too during the appropriate season for that zone). ***STANDARD AMOUNT FOR AN ADOPTION = 12 PACKS OF SEEDS***
Costs to the Newbie:
Newbies:
Helpful veterans and I:
Traders who want to adopt-a-newbie:
Newbies who get contacted for adoption:

| kilngod hope it was okay to update this, had posted on the seed exchange as a reminder this is here and there was no room for replies...so i copy and pasted and added a few names and put a few names in the adoption in process or completed area. please review and i hope it is correct. thanks |
|
| i personally think the seed exchange would get more hits for this, i only know it is here because last year they moved it over here. Lots want to adopt, many dont know about it. or maybe it could be both places, to maximize the number of adoptions...just a suggestion :) |

| Please someone adopt me... I just purchased 40 acres in SE Missouri and am excited to start living off my own land. However, I will be moving to my new place without a lot of money but a whole lot of ambition. Any help anyone can give me will be much appreciated and I promise to adopt in the future. I would like veggie seeds but also love fresh herbs and flowers. I will move needing everything. Thank you so very much! |

| I agree maddox...about having this post on the exchange forum. It took me awhile to find it on the round robin forum when I started visiting GW. I greatly appreciated being adopted. Thank you ishareflowers! I'm not sure I have enough seed varieties to adopt someone yet but look forward to paying it forward :) |

|
| Hi. I saw your offer and it is very much appreciated. I looked at your list and I would like the Polish Linguisa tomato and black krim. ANY of your bell peppers! I am pretty easy, There aren't many vegetables we won't eat, at least we haven't met one yet. Again, I will appreciate anything you are willing to offer. Thank you in advance Tawnee |

|
| so happy to see adoptions in process...that is awesome...let's keep this ball rollin...love love love to give- and it is after all a season of giving! |
|
- Posted by NancyPlants 5bKansas (My Page) on Fri, Dec 2, 11 at 22:20
| tl graham, I'm not going to officially adopt you because I have so few of what you're interested in. I sent you an email about doing a SASBE though :) |
|
| Am here to adopt someone. Needed to post here [I think] in order to adopt newbies. Vegetables is my game mostly. |
|
| Just post the name of the person your interested in adopting and send them a email and they need to post when they get their seeds and by whom. If u don't hear from them post on that as well so we know that maybe they are no longer here on forum. Kilngod where r u I was just starting new thread? Not trying to take over your good deeds of starting this idea and thread! |
|
| I would love to be adopted!! I am currently new to seed trading and this is the first year participating in a seed trading event (the secret santa). I love vegetable gardening!! I have a few seeds currently, but mostly common varities, and I want to try some of the more unusual varities, but am willing to try anything we eat in my family! This year I will also be doing raised bed/square foot gardening for the first time and look forward to the adventures with that. Thank you so much!!! |
|
| lexie why dont you email gardenerz seems as though you guys are in same zone and have same likes...sounds like a really good match. thanks for all those that are adopting it is so nice of you guys to extend such graciousness...god bless you all!!! |
|
| seedmoney let me know when you are contacted by your adoptee's and i will remove them from their zones and if you dont hear from them within ten days let me know and i will remove them and they can reapply if they still want to be adopted...thanks |

|
| I am still interested and have not been contacted yet. Ymaddox, I would try to contact gardenerz, but they don't have their email unblocked to contact them. If you know anyone else that may be interested, just let me know and I will gladly send them an email. Thank You!! |

| lexigurl, i would be happy to adopt you, but i am more of a flower person than a veggie person. i do, however, have a lot of veggie seeds going unused LOL most of them are a year or more old, but have been stored well and should still be viable. drop me an email or find me on facebook (rose mctier, profile pic is a hot papaya coneflower) and i can at least send you some seeds for you to play with. have you heard about wintersowing? I would also like to formally adopt lieblingxdasxkraut; out of everyone listed, i think our interests mesh the best. will send an email and see if i get a response :) |
|
| I contacted Lexigurl. Thanx Yvonne. Guess I'll have to unblock my e-mail or something. Last spring, when a cautious NEWBIE, I set things up. Getting more of the hang of it now. |
|
| lol as long as it all works out...merry christmas season to all of you. there have been some people that have really made my christmas nice by me getting some of my want lists and also getting me started on some new plants that i never even new existed other than a basic of the plant which i did not care for. thanks to all who have fed my plant and seed addiction this christmas season...god bless!!! |
|
| In need of good parents!!!! Joined the GW a few months ago after my first season of growing. Would really appreciate being adopted. I love growing heirloom vegetables. Especially tomatos and cucumbers. I would love to grow some heirlooms that have been favorites of others on the forum. The more unusual, the better. I live in zone 5B. Adopt me and I will make you proud! Sincerely appreciate the support. |
|
| I am a newbie, joined Sept this year. I would love someone to adopt me I can be specific or general which ever helps. My favorites are Echinachea's, Delphiniums, Though would love easy grow perrenials and biennials like Shasta Daisies Lupines Digitalis - Foxglvoes Holly Hock- Black could also use some cosmos seeds anything Daisy is also a favorite, ie Painted Daisies I don't know why it didn't take but I am zone 6 from PA Thank you very much, Micki777 |
|
| Posted by LynnCA none (My Page) on Wed, Dec 7, 11 at 14:12 Please put me on the adopt list, thank you everyone! copy and posted from a old thread...thanks |

| ymaddox, thank you very much for copy my post. Yes, I would appreciate someone can adopt me. |

|
| Hi, I'd be happy to adopt h_mclellan and mellovesgardening I have lots of butterfly and hummingbird seeds and a few veggies. Pam...I'll email them |
|
| I did a search for h_mclellan and mellovesgardening and I can't find links for them. I typed names in search and one comes up for a trade months ago and the others are for this post itself. So, I'm guessing they are gone or I'm doing something wrong. :-) Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-) Pam |
|
| please h_mclellan and mellovesgardening contact ptp if she does not hear from you by the 10 days i alloted to allow for anyone interested to post they are still interested you will be removed from list...but no fear all you have to do is ask again to be readded. so if you are still interested please contact ptp. ptp if you do not hear from the adoptees by the 15th please let me know and would love if you would adopt someone else...thanks problem is i think is that alot of the people have been on the list a long time before we started keeping this up again and so they were not adopted so just kind of gave up. would love it if they all showed up and said they still wanted adopted but we will start from here and proceed. |

| I am a newbie that joined over the summer, but due to a drought I didn't post much (garden failed miserably)I am also in the process of gathering greenhouse materials, so anything that would grow in a green house would be great!! Looking for container growing, veggie seeds, and flowers for the OK area :D Thanks!! |
|
| I am in zone 9, I enjoy grow tomatoes and all kinds of pole beans. |
|
| lizgyrl please email me the person i was going to adopt has never gotten ahold of me so i would be happy to adopt you!!! lynn ca i do not have enough tomatoes to adopt you per say but i do have some marglobe and rutgers tomato if interested wont adopt you that way someone else can but will send you some seeds. |

| T ... h ... a ... n... k .......... Y ... o ... u Paula70 Received a teddy bear Santa card wishing me an absolutely wonderful Holiday season & prosperous New Year with a blue bubble wrap pouch of 3 packets of seeds: Rudbeckia hirta, blue cardinal flower, & red cardinal flower. Even though extra postage was added to the envelope it came with .24 due for total of .88 probably because it was too thick with the bubble wrap bundle inside. For those that haven't sent yet, you can probably skip the double layer pouch of bubble wrap & just do a flap of bubble wrap to protect the seeds. |

| OH, so sorry I posted on the wrong thread...too many things to finish today before work at after school day care where I get to play & craft with school-age kids. I would like to be adopted & was going to wait to post after Christmas, but since I posted wrong here goes... My zone is 7b in PNW - western WA over 500' elevation. My location has a lot of moist shade especially fall - spring, spring is long cool & wet, summer is warmer & usually drought (July - Sept). Our garden tomatoes & peppers struggle, but everything else if protected from slugs & deer does okay, but takes longer to mature due to the shade. Since we live at a camp & conference center I update the entrance gardens there & those have more sun. I also plant things at our parents' summer home in WA with full sun, wind, & deer. We visit there all year, so get to enjoy the show as long as the deer don't devour them in our absence. |

| I'd like to be adopted. I am interested in growing my own organic, pesticide/herbicide-free non-GMO fruits & veggies in my back yard. I have successfully grown snow peas & cucumbers (which is a great succuss for me being new!) My Zone is 7B - Atlanta, GA metro area. I am interested in Lettuce, Kale, Onions, Tomatoes, Potatoes, Cantalope, Watermelon, and many other fruits & veggies. I am looking for open pollenated or heirloom seeds if possible. From my reading, these are much better than hybrid for my purposes, because I'd like to save my own seed & contribute to this community eventually once I get adequate experience. I'm excited to get started early for next season! |
|
| ymaddox I have sent you a message, hopefully it worked! |
|
| got it and i will hook you up. will you be winter sowing the seeds? is the easiest way i have found, thanks to gw and the winter sowing forum...if you have not checked it out, please do you will be happy you did! |
|
| Can someone adopt me? :D I recently gave birth to a baby girl and missed this summers gardening time. would Love to have Lots of Perennials for next spring :D would love: Zinnias, daisies, foxglove, lupines, babybreath, white cleome,irises, daylily seeds, etc... Zone 7, Boston MASS |

| Fledgling gardener in new area, someone please adopt me! We moved from Parker CO to Elizabeth CO--just a few miles away from each other but crazy different in what can grow (local nurseries have told me we're actually a zone 4B rather than the 5 that the zipcode suggests). Looking to make my landscape more bird and butterfly friendly while making it less attractive to deer, love agastaches, yarrows, beardtongue, etc. Have not tried it before but what to attempt winter sowing this year, too. |
|
| I am sending this over to the seed exchange forum all adoptions should be requested through that forum...thank you. all of those that have already put their name here...please check there for any further adoption information...thanks again. |

| I'm in south-west Illinois. I'm new to gardening so I really don't know plant varieties. I would like to mostly plant what we will eat or flowers that are supposed to keep bugs away from my vegetables. I would like to do beans, peas, bell peppers, onion (yellow and purple), green onions, squash, zucchini, strawberry, watermelon, lettuce, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, maybe corn (I don't know...), blueberries, cantaloupe, turnip/mustard greens, cabbage, celery, blackberries. I was blessed with 2 little boys that LOVE fruit and vegetables! Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you |

| Hi I am in Michigan zone 5 My interests are vegetables,squashes, fruits, berries, grapes (not melons please), Herbs of all sorts, edibles especially Basils,culantro, and roses of most any kind. Perennials, and annual flowers of any sort, I have both shade and sun. more sun than shade. I put up most of my food for my family so vegetables are wonderful, but so is everything else. Thank you so much!! |

| Hello there! I'm Rebecca, and I'm in zone 6 in Oklahoma. I just bought a house this past summer, and am really excited to start a garden this spring! I'm interested in wildflowers (would LOVE some poppies), herbs (toothache plant?!), vegetables (anybody have kohlrabi, leeks, or asparagus), and succulents. Really, anything helps.. as well as advice on what and how to grow these plants in Oklahoma! I'm totally new to gardening, but hugely motivated! |
