I want to clear something up too. I kind of assumed that you, MVR, were generous to a fault. I thought that maybe you intended to put enough in the baggie so that there would be enough for everyone. No problem with me. I too had a bit of trouble trying to figure out the sheets of paper, so finally just wrote down what I took out and what I added. Maybe I'm a picky gardener, you know that is very possible. I guess my own disappointment came when I could find very few herb packages in the baggie. Had I known it would be short on herb variety, I would have gone to one of our discount stores and bought some to add. Oh well, I'm going to be planting my garlic chives, Italian Parsley, and savoy today. Hope you all find something that is appealing to you and plant, plant, plant..... :-)

Brugie,
What types of herbs are you looking for? Over the years I have built up a fair variety. I may be able to share divisions or seeds with you depending on what you are looking for. E me if you have time.
Michele

Michelle myer, mike had to drop out so when you get #2 return it to me in stead of mailing it to mike. thanks janet
You know... the packages may have been extra long in travel due to tax season..
;)
i never thought of that, but definitely a good possibility
# 2 is here.
STILL
Kat 2 U have Mail
Janet U have Mail
John, U kind soul. thanks for your patience it will be well rewarded. A politician amongst us, YUP U R
Crestedchick, my response to you is:
I WISH I WAS NAPPING; seems you got a long wait cause you are not the next on the list.
I have addressed the next recipient on the list and I trust she will address you rather than Janet having to playing referee!
Janet, you kind soul, you can't protect everyone but thanks for offerin'. God loves ya! Oh and so do I ;-)
Janet, I am sorry to put you in this position and this is why I am taking the time (of which I have none to spare) to address this matter to group #2
DAVE, perhaps we should have a geriatric RR. Good seeds, old, slow, ILL but matured.
ARE WE ADULTS?
I find no need or desire to explain any further. Anyone that receives #2 eventually and I stress eventually be delighted. Not as I was but, I won't go there!
Anyone, who needs assistance in purchasing seeds becasue of my delay like perhaps Crestedchick can have my credit card # Just e-mail me directly.
I AM SO SORRY. Right now I am sorry I have this responsiblilty. I have toooooooooo many. Unexpectidly! but life, I pray will go on..............I Pray
I wonder if you ever thought of HOW COME SHE'S so Doggone late?
Sleeping.....................not hardly.
I am explaining for a couple of seeds when there are people that
sent me double brugs; geraniums; you know who you are and a I hope U catch this. U know I am good for it. That's why I have received NO E MAILS BUT FOR THE RR.
My trades are good; my wishes are better. Perhaps that's why I didn't hear from you. Thank You for trusting in me.
I will be back but not as Me
Have a bloomin' good day
Good nite
God Bless
Don't let the Bed bugs bite
No MORE RR for
Have a bloomin' good Day
EVER
This is my first RR. It will be my last but you all have fun ya hear ;-)
Old and still Learnin' :-[
This is my first RR and I hesitated because of problems I have seen others have. I thought part of it was the fun it would be.
I don't know what is going on but life is to short to get upset over seeds.
all of you know how things unexpected happen and unfortunately carol had quite a few hit her at once so please be patient and pray for her and her family in their time of distress. #2 will be back on track soon and i do hope that carol won't let this one bad experience keep her from further ones. sometimes things just happen. lord knows i have held a few trades and a rr up in my time here to due to unexpected things that i had no control over. carol is going thru alot of stuff right now and needs our prayers not our scolding. have a great day all of you and God bless you all.
It's just a bunch of seeds and my life is not going to be made or broken by them. If anyone can use my help, please just let me know. I am more than willing to help.
Michele
Me too Janet, can help in any way you need it.
I was just kidding,sorry you took it wrong.It was ment as the postal sytem is napping - not you,Sleeping in Seattle,Napping in NJ,it was a joke!
I got #1 today. I'll make my choices tonight and get it back out tomorrow morning on it's way to Doris.
thanks joan
Wow, and then my life fell apart and all hell breaks loose.LOL
Did I cause all this, I hope not.
For those of you who might not know my wife and I seperated and things have gotten very tense on my end. I also do not have a place to plant anything for now.
Please don't think it was because of the RR that I dropped out.
I am working through things in my life and just didn't want to deal with the RR on top of what I am going through, I hope everyone understands and will keep praying for me.I will keep everyone in my prayers as well.
Mike
we understand mike
Okay, I got way confused with the take out/put in sheet, and I was getting short on time since we had Jaden's 14th birthday party tonight too, and I wanted to make sure it was ready to put back in the mail in the morning. I didn't fill in the sheet. Sorry. :( I took out 6 packages and put in around 20 packages of different things, forgot to count for sure in my haste to get it ready to go out again. They are commercial packages, but I think it rounds the package out nicely so there's a good selection. I put in some herbs and some veggies.
MaVie - one of the packages I took out was one of your Loofa. I was intrigued because I didn't know what it was. LOL! What is it?
this is loofa or luffa ... http://plantsdatabase.com/go/712.html , it grows as a vine. in the orient, we use it as vegetable for stir fried noodles or on soup. the fruit when young, is sweet and delectable. u need to use a paring knife to take off the green skin. don't take off too much skin of nothing will be left of the fruit LOL! maybe for u it is an acquired taste, i love it. once the fruit matures, u dry it on the vine. u can use the dried luffa like a sponge cloth. u need to soaked the loofa first in water overnight, to soften it. some people like to soak it in soap and bleach to lighten the color. i just soaked them in water. in due time, the more u use it, the lighter the color tend to be. it is good to use on the skin, cause it takes off dead skin off our body. i use mine all the time.
i do not know how to describe the flavor of luffa, except it is nice and sweet. can't think of any veggie to compare it too. ahh! almost like zucchini but naturally sweet and very much different in flavor. it has it's own unique characteristic into it.
i planted 4 seeds last year, on each vine, i got 8 fruits that are about 18" long. in each luffa, u get about 100 seeds.
hope that helps. =)
Thank you MaVieRose! That helps a lot. I'm looking forward to them.
Joan... it is nice to grow luffa. u should see the bees buzzing on the flower all the time. it helps all my other veggies too, cause the bees just adores those luffa flowers.
i will be planting about 10 seeds this year. cause my son and his friends loves the soup from luffa fruits... ma vie
thats fine joan. if the sheet is confusing to all of you just don't worry about it. just have fun with it. janet
Well, it is out of my hands now and has been. The RR went out the other day. Now it's up to the P. O. A new neighbor wondered why I have been "not me" and offered to take care of my mail for the group. Very nice of him seeing as he really doesn't know me. I just moved her last June and I don't do winters.
Please go to "Prayer Requests" if you are a part of RR 2 for the explaination where JCF writes, "please pray for my hubby.
I hope you will all forgive my tardiness and understand the circumstances. Unfortunate though it may be, stuff happens.
Thank you all for your support and offers of assistance.
Crestedchick I am really tempted to change my name to "Napping in New Jersey" you were the first person to put a smile on this puss in sometime.
Now I will try to grow up and handle matters better.
All other items I owe will be out tomorrow.
May God Bless you all
Have a bloomin' good growing season
Carol aka Napping in New Jersey ;-)
My mom, Doris Morey, received the robin on Friday. I took it to her in the hospital, and she has spent today with the seed packs spread out on her bed there. She has really enjoyed this robin, and the seeds gave her something to think about other than her surgery and tests. I will get the robin on it's way to Deb in Ohio on Monday.
Debbie
momcat tell your mom i hope she feels better soon and i am glad the rr helped her pass away those long hours. the days in the hospital seem to never go . take care and thanks for the update. janet
THE NEVER ENDING STORY:
Kathy, you will notice when you get the package that your zip code was changed. The last number was wrong. Whew! I though my neighbor messed up but no. The label was wrong.
"whatever can go wrong will". The Peter principle. I think in my previous life my name was Peter ;-)
RR#2 arrived today-Thanks so much Carol! ( you really didn't need to put in the bonuses- ButI loved the datura anyway!!) Took out 22 packs and put in 24. Will get it back out on its way tomarrow. The envelope was getting alittle tattered so I put it in a small box.
Kathy

AMEN!
AMEN!

RR#2 arrived here safely today. Carol, thank you so much for the surprise bonuses. I especially appreciate the Datura, as this is one I was wishing for. Will also enjoy the Moonflowers. The RR will be flying out of here tomorrow morning on its way to NH. Thanks again, John
