I just dropped off the seeds at the po, they should be there soon.

My seeds are slowly getting bagged, for this swap for that swap, and this one, and that one... who's idea was it to join so many swaps honestly! My husband calls it my new entreprise! Chris

Cindy, please, forward me that info from Trudi, if you don't mind. I think we have similar concerns over wintersowing in warm zones. I could use the info she sent you, I'm sure....

Chris, I hear ya! I've overdone it so much that it's ALMOST, but not quite, to the point of not being fun... I didn't want that to happen! LOL I just put too many into a very small range of time...

Blessings,
Angela

I'm taking the weekend to put together my swaps..yes, we're all hopelessly addicted...but as least we have some beauty to show for it..."hiding the piles of seeds envies, bubble envelopes, tape, markers and boxes"..."L"

ROFL!!! Cute, Linda! I love it!

Cindy, thanks so much for sending that along to me... I may have to limit my wintersowing this year simply as a test... I have a friend close that wintersowed some fruit trees, and one of the seeds already sprouted!

Blessings,
Angela

Your welcome Angela.
I sure hope it helped a little. Trudi is just so sweet. : )
Those of us doing winter sowing for the first year I hope we get a ton of really healthy babies to transfer into our gardens. I have 7 containers started and they are all different kinds of Pansy and Viola.
I realized when I finished planting them up that I have about 100 other types of seed I want to plant! Oh my... Guess I'm going to have to mix a few types in some containers or I won't have room for all those babies!
Another thing that came to mind is all the seeds that will start to come in through the R.Robins I'm in. My eyes are definitely bigger than the areas I have to plant! I can't wait to see the abundance of different sizes and shapes and all the gorgeous color! We have alot of Hummingbirds up here and are starting to see Honeybees again so I hope my garden draws them and gives them a great place to feed and pollinate, woo hoo.
By this Fall if plants grow hearty, I'm going to be up to my eyeballs in seeds! But all the better for newbies, I'll probably be doing alot of SASBE's then. That's how I started my seed collection. I'll also have tons more to trade with also. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
I agree with Linda, I am a seed addict... but is that bad? : )

Take care,
Cindy

I hate to say I'm gonna do something, then not do it... but, I have to back out of this one graciously. I am sorry for the inconvenience. I was very new with these round robins and didn't know how to "pick and choose" which work best for me and my garden as well as what I have that others in the swap want. Again, I am so sorry for the trouble... Please, forgive me....

Blessings,
Angela

Greetings barleychown(and everyone)!!
I sent you a large bubble envelope with the delivery conformation number of 0308 2040 0000 3384 2418.
One thing I did wrong was not checking my purse before leaving the house to make sure I have address labels!! So I threw in my little sharpie, you should be able to peel off your name and address and write mine, I'm so sorry I goofed! There's always gotta be one in the crowd!!LOL!!
-B

Lol Brandy I sent my RR To the wrong addy had to run to the po to change it...Thank goodness I made it..hahhaha

Dont feel bad you arent the only one....I wonder who has sent their seeds in and who we are waiting for...I am so excited....Barb

Well Barb, if you're in the corner with me then I'm in good company!!LOL!!

I took time today to get these ready to start swapping. :o)

I will hold off a few days waiting for the ones still in the mail, and then get to swapping.

Have a great Sunday!

It will be great to get another envelope of surprises. I think I will go through withdrawals when all of the seed swaps wrap up!

Good morning swappers!

I'm about half way through swapping the seeds...need to work on the huge pile of the more common seeds, then pack them up and get them out...hopefully by the weekend. :o)

Hi Sarah,

Thanks so much for keeping us updated, and for all your hard work!

Wow I can't imagine all the work that must go into one of these swaps! So do you take all these bubble envelopes into the post office and if so how many weird looks do you get?-B

I don't think I could handle a swap of this size...I honestly don't know how you do it!..."round of applause"

I am really looking forward to this one!
Thanks for all of your hard work, Sarah.
Alana

Good morning!

Brandy, no, I don't take them all to the post office at once. I've done that before, and they get a worried look on their faces. :o)

So, instead I send them out as I get them packed up and taped shut. 5 went out yesterday, and 6 this morning. Keep your eyes open!

I have a bit of extra time today, so I should be able to get the rest out tomorrow.

I hope everyone enjoys!

Oh Sarah Yehhh!

So glad you have started to mail out packages! I'll be checking my lock box everyday for that package I've been so excited to receive! Thanks for letting us know your mailing Sarah. I sure hope you've gotten alot of wonderful seeds yourself : )Thank you so much for all your time and hard work dear.

Cindy : )

Thank's so much to everyone for the great trades, and especially to Sarah, for all your hard work.
This is my first year winter sowing and today when I checked my containers...Guess What? I have babies coming up!!!
I recieved my seeds yesterday and most of my new seeds will be potted up tomarrow. Thanks again to everyone. Bev

I received my seeds yesterday. WOW what a assortment. Can't wait to get them planted. Thanks Sarah! I hope you do this again next year. You can count me in! Kathy

Wow! I got my seeds! It took a little detective work to figure out what swap this package belonged to, but once the fear of having lost my mind were over and i started pulling out my seed packets and recording them, the pleasure stretched out to 181 packets of a great variety of seeds, thanks to all of you, my new GGF(great and generous friends). you guys are de bom! The assortment is awsome considering that there was no want list matchups at all. Cathy, awsome job sorting our packages, I only got 2 of my own seeds, and the rest was just pure pleasure to receive and record! Thank you. Chris

I got my seeds today, and thank you to all you sent in and a very big thank you to our host for doing this!

Kris

Lurking Lurking... Boy am I jealous. I missed this signup date and have been checking it out. I wish I would have made it to signup.

Dirt - I am sooo jealous now... I don't have any babys yet. my first time wintersowing and am worries I didn't do something right. It looks like you are a zone colder than me and I don't have a seed popping up at all. :-(

Tammy

My seeds came today. I just had a chance to open up the envelope and there were some real treasures inside!
Thanks to all!
Alana

I got my seeds yesterday and supper was late 'cause I was playing with them!
