last weird seed swap update

no one owes anything. Just grow them out and let us see the pictures.

I will put them on my seed list and credit you, Shirley.
This is something that I hope to have done this week.

I'll be in touch.

Hi tiG,
I've finally received my package today. Thank you so much because you did a great job! Most of the seeds are new to me and I love them. Got one my own seedpackages back and one double though. But there's still plenty I can have a big big smile about : ))))

Lenne

oh no!! lol, I'm sorry about that, but am glad that you got some new. Yours were very distintive, it must have slipped in.

Hi Tig, got my seeds today, really ,really pleased. Thanks for all the work you put in to do this.I love doing this sort of thing as you can end up growing things that you'd never think of trying.
P.S. sown most of them aklready

honestly, nothing would make me happier than to see some of the things you've gotten. I probably wasn't the best person to do this, I get confused easily, but I hope it was fun for everyone.
sue, you're fast!!! I haven't even sown what I got from it.

thankyou very much, Bonnie....they arrived today! what a great selection! Elaine

Hi everyone,It was so much fun last week when I took the seeds to Master Gardener class and shared with the others. They were so joyous that it was fun for me and I thank all of you for the chance at growing some of these plants in my own garden and theirs. :~)
Lani

Got mine too! I was out of town so I'm not sure how long they have been here. What a wonderful variety! Planting them all is going to keep me busy for several weeks! Lol! Special thanks to that special person for sorting them all out for us!

Thank you again for this trade!

Ursula

That was fast! I'm glad they are getting everywhere okay.

tig, I've got them too !!!!!!

And Thank you so much for everything and I do thank everyone that send such a terrific varieties, as I said before ther are many perennial species difficult for me to find around here.

I'm tickle pink!

A kiss to everyone !

Just being nosey....but hey that's me.....How were the seeds
sent to Chile? regular parcel post, express or what?

Since in future I will be sending seeds to other countries, as I already do to Mexico.....

And how many days did it take total from sending to receiving?

Thanks, Love, Lavanda

( who hopes to be in on this next time)

regular mail. I'm not certain when the last ones went out, I had to go to the PO but if cristina or Ursula have the postmark, they could tell us.
Lavanda, the words 'seeds' was not on the outside.

Lavanda Hi !

tiG posted mine 3/18, it arrived at the post office 26/3 and
I recieved it today.

Lovely "card" , declared as a gift.

Thanks

lol!! had to write something. I even told my postmaster they were seeds but that some of y'all had trouble getting them in.

Over here, there is a very "nice" guy at Customs, when he is on duty, he send any seeds back.

I do always send any thing out ar : card, postcard, photos.
I do prefer to recieve the same. Not any worry since I do that.

My cards will always bloom!!!!!!

I recently received some seeds in the mail from europe and the latin name of the seeds was on the customs declaration. It said simply "Basella rubra." Who would question that? It must be some foreign language or sumthin'.

LOL!! good idea!

Special when you send seeds to Australia you have to do like this..mention the botanical name of the seeds on the customslip so they don't get destroyed by the customs. They always arrived fine that way.

Studly dahlin, I hope you have had the mnost wonderful & happy of birthdays.

Enjoy it, you are at a wonderful time in your life.

And you ARE a sweeetie!

Birthday hugs, Lavanda

" It said simply "Basella rubra." Who would question that? It must be some foreign language or sumthin'.

LOL, again the benefit of learning latin rears its beautiful head. Probably no one wanted to appear so dumb that they didnt know what that meant!

So I guess if I am mailing something to Upper Revolta, an English speaking area, I should label it in Japanese or Spanish??? ;-))

Thought ya'll might wanna read this from J L Hudson's online seed catalog:
