2015 Spring Round Robin - On the Wing!

Thx Carolyn,
Hoping this subsides soon.I have a lot of gardening work to do! LOL

Have not been checking is as I have been real busy.Where are we on the shipping list and when should I start looking for it?

Its on its way to me :)
It wont be with me long.

I tried uploading pics...lets try again.

Steph, are you still packing and/or do you have a move date?

Still packing. Close date is Monday. We will be taking all week to move.

Soooo , lol You turned the entire room sideways , to slide it into a crate , to make fit ,, ?
interesting ,,

The new place looks really nice .... lots of garden and play room , and of course places to be serious ,,,

I dont know why all my pictures turn sideways :(
Look @ this rhubarb!! There are about 6 plants like this.

Nice looking Rhubarb !!! Great Color ,, Tea , Pie ,,, Yummy

I was only playing some about the pic ,, I have had a few that posted upside down , sideways ,, etc ... been a while ,it happens ,,,

Good hopes ,for smooth going , with your moving ,,

Super bummed. I was just going through the plants I moved to make sure they all have labels before I move them again. I lost 75% of my iris :( about 50 tubers. I quit going through my pots cuz I didnt want to find any more rotron ones. There are still 10 pots of iris I havent looked at. So disappointed.

No robin box today. Hopefully tomorrow.

Oh, Stephanie, I'm so sorry to hear that! How did your other plants fare?
Robin wont arrive til tomorrow. Your area to mine is 3 day for priority mail. Expected delivery was Thurs. I have tracking receipt if you want number.

Thanks Carolyn. Went back to work today, couldn't take any more time off. Still nauseous, but talked to several clients who have had the stomach bug they say lasts more than a week and makes you feel really tired. Hope you feel better soon

Peony are popping. Asiatic and oriental lily are popping. A few othera have some life. Im north a half zone so things may come a bit later than im used to. I dont think any of my 4 variety of bleeding heart made it either. Im used to those coming up first. Columbine survived, maybe more than I wanted. Must have forgotten to catch the seeds last season.

Received box today. It will ship out tomorrow!
Lots of goodies!

I lost a bunch of Iris too. More than a dozen different ones. This winter was too wet towards the end, and I think that is what did them in. Never had that happen before. Oh well....perhaps I can replace some of them in trades this year. I need to rework the Iris bed, so it has better drainage.

Steph, interesting that your peonies and Asiatic lilies are popping as we are so many zones apart and that's right where I'm at too!!

Sorry about all the losses. Wet winter, i guess is right. I dont have many irises, but what I have seem ok so far.

Good luck with the move! Will be thinking of you.

Amanda, when I say "popping" with those, I mean they are just poking out of the dirt. I should choose my words better :) I mean popping there heads out of the dirt...I wish they were popping flowers...
Stopped by the new place again. So excited! Lots of identifying to be done!
Box shipped today! Shipped priority mail.

Robin arrived here today, Will try to get it out again on Wednesday. Wow! What a box!!

Yea!

I was able to mail today instead of tomorrow... But... I left the packing supplies and list. Please advise me what to do. I can send these materials on to CheerMom tomorrow or I can send them to Kathy, who is after CheerMom on the list. I can email the Kathy's address to CheerMom and send the packet straight on to Kathy. That seems the best to me because then we know it will probably not fall behind the main package. :(
What should I do now???

Can you find it now Crystal?

O Yes, here we are!

I just hate it when I "lose" a thread, Sometimes I accidentally "unwatch" one , by mistake.

Greetings, friends. :)

Started another pt nursery job so I've been juggling!

Crystal, do you still have those items? If you want to ship ahead on the list that would be fine. Hate for you to have to spend a lot of dough! Those things are included for convenience mostly. Remember my first Robin... I didnt even have my own tiny zip lock bags! I thought it was pretty awesome that those things had been included. :)

Well, gorgeous weather here, yard still pretty weedy despite my every other daily efforts. Thats what I get for taking last season off.

Hope every one is finding something exciting in the box!

A.

I'm ready whatever you decide.

Finished going thru the box tonight and hope to get seeds added tomorrow.

Amanda,
Life gets so hectic -- thanks for doing the spring seed robin despite your busy life!
Hope all is well

Kathy,
SO NICE to see you surface! :)

Springtime: So much to do, so little time! I have not been on the forums nearly as much either, between work, spring garden work/caring for bare root plants I potted in March (I got a bit carried away this year with those and WS'ing)!

Have a great day everyone!

Waving HI from my new place! Been busy getting settled. Harvested my first crop of rhubarb last night. 6.7#!!
Have yet to get anything in the ground. Its been chilly and raining most of the week here.

Thanks Val, hope you forgive me....

The box is ready to go back out tomorrow..........FLSunshineGal here it comes..... unless I hear different.

Kathy --
Of course, my friend! THinking of you, as I so often do!

Oh man! Been away from DG a lot lately, started a new job and can't believe I missed my favorite swap In all the hub bub..

Hugs to all my seed hoarding buddies and I will be waiting to join in the fun this fall!

Thought I'd post a few shots of a few seedli gs started from seeds from the robin.. castor bean, globe thistle, and dwarf red coreopsis.

Good to hear from you, Becky! How exciting...a new job. I hope you like it, sorry you missed the seed swap. But there is always the Fall Robin.

Hey Annette! Yes maam, I am very excited to be out of the house again and working, even if it is just part time. I really have to get some of my seed hoard, ahem, stash, growing so I can clear some room for more lol. Oink oink is me ;)

Becky you are so funny! We need to start a support group, we can call it OA - Oinker's Anonymous
