DH took your package (with 40 packs of seeds, 8+ different species) to the Post Office today. Let me know when you get it. Thanks for including me in. I gotta start keeping a closer watch on these RR's as I usually miss them, after they are filled-up & I read the posts.
I sent mine off to you on Monday Marclay! I can't wait to see what I get, how exciting!

Thank you Shirley for being so generous. I think it is these round robins & seed swaps that make the winter fly away really fast. Looking forward to it & many more.
I can.t wait! Thank you!
Hi! I'm Carmen P aka Pins2006! I'm so glad you got my seeds. Sorry I didn't include my DG name.
Anyone know Ellen Erickson and her nickname here???
Am mailing all the above list seeds out tomorrow-these are the only envelopes I recieved. 2 people sent dollar bills=please email me the amount so I can be sure and get you the right change, I will take these to PO and get them weighed to be sure noone gets a too-heavy packet. Thanks to all who joined It was fun. Will post and do another to be due by March 1st. Blessings on all your gardens We had an assortment of seeds from gentiana all kinds of aquilegia sunflower mixes veggies to hosta to some real uncommon things. Very good for a 11 person trade. Shirley
Am very anxious to see what transpires here. LOL Gives me something to look forward to during these cold icy days.
Hope you get some things you can use. I tried to get some things on folks list-some from my stash -if only a "sampler"type small packet Enjoy Shirley
Looking forward to it. I don't remember if I stuck a dollar in the envelope or stamps, but whatever the case, if it's from me, please keep the change for all you time & trouble. It's worth it. And I can't read. Your original post said up to 30 packets of seeds & I sent 40. Owell. Give me an E for effort.
No problem at all Shirley
I got mine today! Oh boy, what a variety! Yipee!
I'll have to go look some of the types up, I have never heard of before.
Great job Shirley & thanks so very much! Thanks to everyone for making my growing garden greener!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! THis is really fun....I need more dirt....
I have to look mine up too. Now I know how it works.

Hi Shirley,
Got mine today too. Thanks for the variety of seeds & the packet was filled with them. I will try them all. It sure does help the winter blahs. It didn't keep my bad knee from clicking & hurting but it sure does make the mind brighter. LOL. I am going to 2 flower shows in March, one in York, PA and one in Harrisburg, PA and I gotta get that knee to work right because there will be a lot of walking, picture taking & buying, so I'll have to save my shekels. Also want to be able to plant these seeds in May. Thanks again for the packet of blessings. Looking forward to the next one.
I got mine today too! im so excited to get these all sprouted. thank you so much for making our winter blahs easier to deal with :) today i got to move some plants outside for a couple hours!!
edited to say...i just got through looking up all the seeds i recieved on the pdb. how neat!! i wanted to tell everyone who played thank you too because as a new person to seed collecting, this will really help me. what interesting and new things i got!!

I just got my seeds! Thank you so very much. Such unusual seeds. I've never heard of Job's Tears before, but they seem great. I do want to ask about three seeds. The first two I can't seem to read what they are and so I can't look them up. The best I can do is 1) Ashellsa and 2) Acedanehero. I'm sure I've just got a letter or two wrong (I hope), but nothing comes up on Google.
The other question is about the growing conditions of Asarina procumbens. It's a beautiful groundcover that I very much want to grow. Down south here, does it do better in full sun or some shade?
Thanks so much for doing this!
Hi Probably achillea(yarrow) and acidanthera bulbils I sent you(soak them and plant in a pot till you can set them out.Cant answer about asarina but I would imagine someone here has grown it.The achillea if it was mine will be a beautiful light mauve (name unknown)

How wonderful! I've been trying to grow acidanthera for a long time and never had luck with it. This time I'll start it indoors and plant it outside when it's ready. I'm so excited! I always love yarrow. I have pink and yellow. Mauve will be a great addtion. Thanks again!
