CLOSED: CGs LMW Seed Swap 2006_3 extras

frausnow gotcha covered on the 2 you wanted. did you also want yellow cleome or rudbeckia maxima? and i would like rudbeckia nitida and african daisy if you have enough.

also, anyone who wasn't here today when all of the wild trading was going on if there is something on my list that you wanted please ask as i may have extras.

donna...........meant to ask for purple/blue porterweed before but forgot so if you have bunches can you please send me some. i found 2 cosmos mixes for you that i am adding.


I STILL HAVE RUDBECKIA MAXIMA IF ANYONE WANTS THOSE.

DonnaB

Done!

JoAnn

Mamajack,
yay on the yellow cleome, nay on the rudbeckia maxima.

Thanks!
Joann

joann..id like your lantana, african daisy orange and the rud. nitida thanks pamsue

connie i dont mind having 5 or 6 seeds of lupine
pamsue

MaMaJack got you, could I also have some of your Rudbekia and Yellow Cleome

got you donna and frausnow.

donna.thanks for putting aside the seeds for me and the butterlies
pamsue

thanks Pam, will split them between you two. :o) You such a sweetie.

Connie

frausnow - I will send a packet of the Tarragon seeds for you. I am going to attempt to scrape up a few Necklace Pod seeds. (Do you mind just getting just 3-5 seeds?) I had some that dropped down in the box I have my seeds in. But I am pretty much out of them at this point.

hart - I'm sending you Scarlet Milkweed. Just grow it as an annual. Mine grew seed pods TWICE this year. So you may get seeds from it for each year. The Monarchs in my area flock to it and lay lots of little ones on it! Gotta love them Monarch butterflies! Thanks for sending me some of your pink (common) Milkweed.

Connie - I'm getting ready to send my seeds to you. I'm going to enclose 3 - $.39 stamps. ($1.17 total) That should cover the postage, right?

JoAnn, could I have some of your Argenta Cristata, Cockscomb Celosia? And you can have all the yucca filamentosa your heart desires. LOL

I sure hope so becky, But not sure at this point ... with all the extra seeds rofl...

Connie

Connie - Tell me how many stamps you would like to see us each send you? I do NOT want you footing the bill for extra postage! If we each send 4 - $.39 stamps, that would be $1.56. I can't imagine it being more than that, though I know some folks will be getting a LOT of seeds! LOL

postage wise.............i have a 11 x 14 envelope................it is bulging. i figure if i send an equal amount of postage inside to what it cost to send it to you that that should do it. when are we supposed to send it to you again, connie?

also, connie............which seed was donna wanting that i had already asked for? if it's the helianthus let donna have it as i found some.

I really and truely don't know. All I do lnow, is you do not want to send them priority. I got one envelope sent priority with 15 pks of seeds and it cost them 4.55 to me that is just rediculous, and it wasn't a big bubble envelope either...

I don't know, I just don't know :( What ever you all feel it will be...

Connie

Mama it was the Heliopsis, I figured you all could mail them out by the 15th, but sooner is fine. I think we have just about got it wrapped up... Ana will be mailing hers thursday? I think.. It will take hers the longest to get to me possibly 10 days or so.

The sooner I get them the sooner I can mail them back :o) lol

It sounds like you all pretty much have your envies ready...
Mama seems like a good idea on the postage...

To All:
If you think you are going to get more seeds coming back than what you send, then more postage will more than likely be needed...

Becky right at this moment, I don't have 2 nickles to rub together... Man I hate retirement!!!
We just spent way more than we intended on the gk's christmas gifts, as usual :)

Connie - I truly understand that it is almost Christmas and many of us are broke! Which is why I wanted to make sure that I sent you more than enough postage so that you aren't responsible in any way for that. I appreciate so much that you organized and are doing most of the work for this swap! It's a LOT of work! (I couldn't do it!) So THANK YOU! When my garden starts blooming in the Spring/Summer I will think of you and thank you for providing me the seeds from this swap! (As well as thanking everyone who joined in and shared their seeds!) I truly appreciate it! :-)

Hey I couldn't do it with out you ALL, :o)

I have stamps, we keep plenty of them on hand... I can't believe it's just 8pm, it feels like it is midnight lol... This has been a long day.

I have already received envelopes from:
Roose
dorothy2006
susan51
Aline

connie, send the heliopsis to donna.

Okay mama :o)

DonnaB they are yours :o)

Hello All,

Does anyone have any
Caster beans?
Milkweed? any color
Columbine any color
Nigella "Miss Jeckyll Blue sounds pretty.

I am very new to the trade thing and I am not up on almost all of what you all have... But I cant thank you all enough for letting me join .... This has been GREAT fun.....
Hugs,
Susan

Susan51, I have some castor beans I can send you... I received just a tad bit more than I will need :o)


Connie

Pamsue - Got your seeds set aside.

Beckygardner - 3-5 of the necklace pod seeds are absolutely fine and thanks on the Tarragon.

hart - Got your Celosia seeds set aside. On the Yucca, just 12 seeds will do just fine, thanks!

JoAnn

Well all, I got 90 bulbs potted up this evening, FINALLY,
Bought some sand so I can get my magnolia's in the fridge, per instructions :o)
I sure hope I do it right lol...

Well I have just a few more things to get done on here then I am off to bed,
You all have a great night/day ;-} and I will tty in my AM lol

Connie

Susan, I can add you to my list for milkweed. This is the regular, common milkweed. I posted a link to a photo above.

You should join us over in the Mid Atlantic forum, Susan. We're planning a plant swap for the spring, although it will be up here at my house and probably a bit too far for you.

And Becky thanks for the red milkweed and the info. It should have occurred to me I could grow it as an annual. smacks forehead

rofl @ hart

LOL! Scarlet Milkweed is on the way for you! :-)

Well, I've already admitted in the MidAtlantic forum to being goofy (for having my Christmas tree in the kitchen.) Might as well admit to being a doofus too. LOL

Goofy but proud I might add.

Before I send off my package, are there any more takers on the following?

* Nigella "Miss Jeckyll Blue"
* Hollyhock "Nigra"
* Agastache "Golden Jubiliee"
* Nicotiana Sylvestris (I've got tons of this)

Frausnow, if it's not too late, could I have some of the following?

*Gomphrena "Strawberry Fields"
* Nicandra "Splash of Cream"
* Miscanthus Sinensis Graziella, Maiden Grass

lilystorm - If you have enough, mark a packet of each of the four for me (#18):
* Nigella "Miss Jeckyll Blue"
* Hollyhock "Nigra"
* Agastache "Golden Jubiliee"
* Nicotiana Sylvestris

I like to try everything! LOL Actually, those look like they would be nice additions to my gardens this Spring! And I just love Nicotiana and Agastache! (Hopefully, I didn't already ask you for any of these! LOL I've lost track!)

Lilystorm I'll take some of these - I have a few but I really like these - * Nigella "Miss Jeckyll Blue" I will plant some of them at Church too :o)

BTW did I get some of the
*Gomphrena "Strawberry Fields"?
* Nicandra "Splash of Cream" ?
* Miscanthus Sinensis Graziella, Maiden Grass?
I can't remember rofl

And Hart, I use to put my 7 foot tree in the dining room in front of our sliding doors. (my kitchen and dining area is just one long room) So don't think you are a doofus :o)
If you are so am I lol by the way, sending you a dmail.

Connie

Becky you will love the * Nigella "Miss Jeckyll Blue" the flowers are soooo pretty and so is the seed pod :o)

Connie

No problem, Cegoins and BeckyGardener. Thanks for taking it off my hands. I don't know what I was thinking when I collected the Nicotiana Sylvestris--no one could possibly need that many seeds (they are super tiny, so I must have collected several thousand seeds).

Sounds like everyone is still having a lot of fun. :-)
We got unexpected out of town company tonight so I couldn't be here.
Will have to make a list of the extras everyone is wanting tomorrow.
I'm too pooped to do it tonight.

JoAnn, If you still have any of the following left could you put #22 on them for me pretty please?

Amaranth "Marvel Bronze

Gaillardia "Fanfare"

Callicarpa Americana, American Beautyberry

Moon Vine White

Thank you.

Joy

Lilystorm, I'm sto glad you saved seeds for the nicotiana. I've been looking for that one for a couple of years. Could I have some of the agastache golden jubilee and white moon vine?

Joy, if JoAnn is out of the callicarpa, there are some nicely dried seeds on mine I noticed today. Just let me know if you need them.
