Lea, I just had a thought. One time when I was really really infuriated by something, I got an axe and chopped as hard as I could on a log in my backyard until I was completely exhausted. Then I felt a whole lot better. You might try it.
Cottage Garden Seed Swap and Chat #39
Are we gonan look at the same piggy pic for anothe r year or is somebody gonan find us a ne w one?
Wish I coudl get the piggy off my msn messenger. It dances and wiggle s real cute.
Them turtle heads is cute. : )
Thanks Neal, I will send you some postage money and a bubble enve.
I like the old black-eyed susans I have all kinds of them here and I'm collecting seeds to get some going in the field for next year they are so cheery when they finally bloom lol I have rudbeckias pop up everywhere and I just let them go.
I thought I had some BYS coming up by the drive and just today noticed that it's cone flower I had some white swan from seed the year before planted and when it bloomed pink last year I pulled them up and had sundown planted a ways away from there last year that didn't come back this year so I'm wondering what these will be there is two of them one has a bud on it.
Thanks prenniallyme, I just try and get outside that does me more good than anything :) But I'm not getting a lot done it's so beautiful out I'm just enjoing it and well I'm collecting seed some of the time lol
Oh of course I can send an envelope lol What was I thinking :) I wasn't lol
That sounds good, anyone who would like some seed envelopes, just send me a self addressed, stamped, envelope. There's 100 per pack.
Hey Ella, where are you? I keep watching for the piggy swap post to make sure I get on the list. I don't mind seeing the same piggy pics again.
perenniallyme, are we a little anxious LOL We have plenty of time for a list :) Just stay tuned and collect all those lovely seeds, that should keep you occupied for a while I know they sure are keeping me occupied lol I'm never ready for that list because I know I've got to get the lead out LOL
I tried to get the initial sign up notice up and after I was doen typing it and tryoing to get links attached, darn thing got ate by cycber space and now I gott a type it all over again. grrrrrrrrrrrr ; (
Hopign stupid puter acts decent so I cna try again maybe later today or tonight.
Lea, guess we are a wee bit overanxious here - just don't want to forget to tune in for a few days and then find out the list is full up - would be a very sad non-piggy.
Going to the arboretum with a friend this afternoon for a walk. Will try not to get obsessed with scarfing up seeds along the route, even though I don't have room for trees of any kind myself. Hmm, wonder what azalea/rhodo seeds look like.
Thanks for trying, Ella. I'll just have to keep tuned in.
Ok, got it up. Yippeee,, it didn't get ate. So folsk cna sign up there and folsk can holler on here too. : )
An Arboretum.. cool. scarf.. scarff and ya might ask too cuz soemtiems they will let ya gather some seed for ya.
Just don't us e toliet paper to try adn save seed s in. LOl I trie d that trick and had a very embarrasing situation . hahahahahah
I remember that story, Ella. Don't worry, I'll go prepared in case. Glad you have it up. I'll go sign up before I head out. Thanks.
I saw these little piggies at the state fair, wanted to put them in my pocket and take them home.
Hahahahahha.. Cute pic.. : ) I see some piggie s I recognize and oh look ther e me trying to push my way in too.
Anybody got time to help dmail aroudn to last years piggie s and let them know it time to start signing up?
Where do we sign up?
i love the piglets, s cute.
I'm looking.
Here ya go the start of the sign up list here is.
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1035816/
If anybody know s forusm too that had floods, fires ad hurricane s and such, that ya knwo about, remidn them to sign up too.
I've started dmailing. Dmailed so far: critterologist, tcs1366, mamawk, danita, mygypsyrose, tuinkabouter, Lala_Jane, artemiss.
Isthat how you get the addresses to send the seeds?
Ella asked if someone could dmail last years participants to inform them of the sign up.
Ella, have also dmailed gemini_sage, Cordledawg, cheles_garden, maozamom, Heavinscent. I've been going down last year's seed listing thread. Need to stop now. If someone else can help too, that would be great. Just post where you're up to on the list, and I or someone else can continue.
Ok. Dmailed wind, Meredith79, Robynznest, nbgard, RatherBDigging, Seandor.
Thanks for the message Perennially. Did ya all miss me?
:-P
My computer crashed a few weeks ago and I'm just now getting caught up on everything. I had to read through 2 Piggy posts to find out what's been going on. I too have been saving seeds as they've matured...I can't believe it's that time already! It seems like I was just planting out a few weeks ago. I saw several of you mention the annual ruds and I've saved seeds from 4 of them. They were all planted side-by-side though so they might contain a surprise or 2.
Guess I'd better go hold my spot on the swap. Are you limiting the amount of participants Star? I don''t want to send a bunch of folks over that way until all the 'regulars' get a shot at getting in, but I know a few folks who would love to join if there's room.
Everyone keep listing who you told and I'll get to telling people after I grab a bite to eat lol I'm starving!
I did tell Ansonfan today he has been saving seeds too :)
Back in a couple of hours of course I have to feed the 'children' too lol I wish they would cook for me for a change LOL
I am thinking about it ? sent most of my seeds to the newbie give away,and I still have a lot from last year.
Don't think I have much to offer.
Rides.... You won't be mailign seed to anybody but me. It wil all come here and go into evrybody's piggy trough and then all get mailed out.
That seed list is from last year and just an example, so put it was closed, soon as We open the ne w one, then will tell ya and then ya pt your seed list up.
Lala.. Ya it wil be limite d again, but you can send some folks on over. Afte r all w e stil have to get rid of the extra seed s we got last year to somebody hahahahah Just kidding. The regular piggies will automatically have a spot. Just want to make sure they don't get forgotten and then will take the new piglets too. If possible want to try and stay around 50-55 folks giv e or take a few. Don't want to get to many .
Appreciate the mailing of folks about it. That take s a big load off of me. : )
Just dmailed: PamSue, frausnow, klstuart, ilovejesus99, toofewanimals.
WOW -- some how i got lost in the dust.... but i'm watching now... i did not catch when the new piggy swap starts.... hopefully Nov-ish, as i'm so far behind.
I dmailed tuinkabouter. pamsue & BlueGlancer, BlueGlancer wasn't in the last swap because she got a new grandbaby I'm hoping she is able to get in this one. I'm going to dmail more now :)
Wonder how many people are going to get double dmails lol
Just dmailed: margaran, SingingWolf, fairy1004, LynnWeidman, Cannagirl, gen2026, Maxine.
Lea, I'm down near the bottom of the list. Do you wanna get the last few?
Sure I will I just dmailed Pyromomma, Robynznest, SingingWolf and Tuinkabouter lol At least the ones that get more dmails will know they are wanted lol
Which ones are they? I'm not sure what list you are going thru :)
You are so on the ball. I can't wait for the Piggy Swap! Thanks for remembering me.
Lea, I've already dmailed them. Everyone I've dmailed is listed. I was going through last years seed post list, and getting near the bottom. I just have to quit now. Going to bed. I've dmailed 31 people. Then there's you and me and star and whoever signed up before I started, so there should just be a few left. Too tired to sort it out now. Good-night.
You are faster than me then everyone is faster than me lol I'll get the rest :) Nite!
I found the list she was taling about I think, I dmailed Robin/Dryad57 I hope she is around and sees it I haven't seen her on here in a while.
I think that since the "LIST" thread was brought back up... all those that participated last year will see the thread in their Thread Watcher ... and they will probably follow the link that was added.
looks like A LOT of new comers..... Star, hope it doesn't get too big for you.

Been a little bit since seen her think , and I say think she been on and off over on Ava's Alaskian journey, but think she been pretty busy too .
tcs.... I watching. We about halfway with names and sur e ther e wil be a fe w sgragglers too comiong in once we get going, but wil do like last year if folks don't mind once we get the limit then we won't just automatically take anybody els e in, they can ask and wil see if their room for them.
I wa s laughign my hea d off at your last post. You forgot to add for folsk to plan o not doing dishes, laundry, housework for several weeks.
You forget to tel lthem to plan on having a coffe e pot runnign 24.7 to keep them awake all day and night so a s not to miss the newest offer of seed thrown up to be abel to out oink somebody else.
And don't forget to remind folsk to stock the refridgerator with tons of microwave food a s nobody with familie s wil get real food while everybody oinking their little hearts out. hahahahahah
The only hard part for me is gonna be watching folks just deicid e to join without asking cuz my darn serve r powers down from about 9 at night til about 9 or 10 in th emorning and when the serve r onyl giv e s me half power I can't get on or if I cna get on posting is slower thana turtle taking a sunday stroll.
star, when it reaches that point where the list is filling up, perhaps you could note on the thread for new sign ups to await confirmation from you, letting them know if they can participate.
gemini.. good idea : ) Cuz I sur e we will have some like last year that sign up but then drop later.
I not sur e if Singing Wolf was in that fire area or not out ther e in California, so it may be a bit before we here from her , btu saving a place for her until we hear for sure.
