Seed Swap #2

I'd love to participate. Count me in.

Wellllll.....if Badseed is gonna play, I sure want to play too. ;-)

I will get them to you by November 1, right? I am still waiting on some to ripen and with our 97 degree days right now, they ought to be ready by then.

LOL

Fran, Tracy and Susan - you are in!

Since I said that seeds mailed by October 25th should have enough time to reach me, I'll make that the cutoff date for signing up.

But we need to know how many people will be playing in order to know how many packets of seed to send, no?

I believe you just mail 10 packs (more if you want) and you get 10 packs back.

Oh I see -- I thought we would send in as many packs as there are participants, but that it was originally limited to 10 participants. Got it!

Would it make sense to add the plant's zone to the label, so that participants in the north will not get a lot of seeds that aren't hardy for their area (unless they specifically request that)? Obviously it may not be possible to tailor it that closely, but if you are willing . . ..

Good Idea on the zones. I don't think zone's would make a difference with annuals, but would for perennials. On your written list, put your Name/DG Name and zone. I will make sure that you don't get a perennial that doesn't fall into your zone. Yes - only 10 seed packets each please. :)

I would like to join in - will be my first time.

You're in George - welcome aboard.

I'm not participating in this swap, I'm in the first group, so just offering an opinion here. About not sending periennial seed out-of-zone; I have several plants not hardy for my zone. I grow them in pots and overwinter in my basement or in a sunny window or under lights. I don't think zones should be a considration. I really enjoy these plants and they seem to do well indoors over winter. If you haven't tried some of these, I think you're missing out on some great plants.

I agree beaker, there are so many for the high zones that I like and would like to try even if they are as an annual here and I would have to bring them in for the winter. cg

I grow things in containers or as annuals that aren't for my zone. The nice part about "not" growing things that are your zone is you get a break from the common and what everybody else has....lol. I like it when somebody comes over and says ooooooooooo, aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh what is that and where did you get it =0)

I'd rather not be restricted to "zone" for the swap. Besides which anything I get that I am unfamiliar with I'm going to look up on Dave's and google anyway.

good point everyone. My suggestion would be to make a note on your seed list if you wish to be restricted to your zone. I think that should cover that? Sound good?

sounds great Anita :o)

I got all my other obligations full filled and I am working on my seed packs for this trade so I should be able to get them out this week... :o)

Connie

Seeds have been mailed.

Excellent!

Hi Anita,
Will be mailing my seeds out to you tomorro,
Connie

Thank you

Am I still welcome Anita?? I've got some seeds to share! :)

Susan

Sure Susan!

Can I be the 20th? I'd love to joing this swap!

JoAnn

i sent mine off today, you should get them next week.

Mine is it the mailbox waiting for the postman.

I will be pulling my seeds today.. fresh! :)

Susan

Welcome Joann! Great JB and my gypsy - I'll post it when I receive your packages.

we passed in the post Susan! Thanks!

Thought I better check in too! I don't collect seeds much any more so I have been for the last couple weeks. I forgot how much fun it is! My kids are enjoying it too.

Anita, I did stick mine in the mail box Monday, then dh reminded me it was a holiday and the mail wasn't running lol, so they went out yesterday. :o) you should be getting them in a couple of days...

Connie

I am trying for next week, I am still gathering and packing my seeds up. I'll post when I send them out.

~~Sandy~~

I ran into a snag (thought I'd be through seperating the chaff by now)but I'll get them to you in plenty of time to bet the Nov 1st dead-line.

Haven't sent the seeds out yet, plan to work on my "stash" more this weekend. Will definitely be out before the deadline !! I've been waiting for some seeds I want to add, but I think the snow is coming tomorrow and it will be too late for them , they aren't quite ready yet.

I'm not ready for snow....lol

~Julie =0)

Not a problem everyone.

Anita, I mailed my seeds to you last evening. I sent all of the same type seeds but failed to enclude a list of seeds per your instructions. Dummy me, don't know why I just decided to re-read the instructions when I've already mailed my envelop. Blonde moment....

No problem.

Mine are in the mail.

Received your seeds Andrea!
