WANTED: Out of Town Paticipants and Volunteers Winter Blues S.S

17 years ago

Last years mail in version of the Winter Blues Seed Swap was a welcome addition to the swap for many folks- and I look forward to offering this feature again this year with help from willing and wonderful volunteers!

For those of you who frequent our Minnesota Gardening Forum, and can not attend the swap on Sunday January 21st- and still want to participate- this is for you!

You can mail your cleaned, individually packaged seeds in- and a voulenteer "buddy" will offer your seeds to be shared with those at the swap- and re-fill your envelope with your wants as listed in a note you have provided- (if they are there to be had)- and sent back to you in the same envelope with the additional postage you included with your seeds.

There are sure to be some surprises in your returned envelope- as there is no way to tell what will arrive to be shared!

If you are interested in the mail in version- or in volunteering to "adopt" an out of towner at the swap- please post below- or e-mail me through my page here at GW-

Jul - Put me down as an adopter. Will be fun to fill an envy full of seeds and such for someone that can't make it.

Hi there to my mail in friends!
The seed swap was wonder-full! We had many helpers to stuff envelopes- and many seeds to choose from- even though many folks did not come do to the snow and driving conditions.
I have envelopes for SandiBluffs who I picked for- and JoyfullSnowflake- who Selkie picked for- I do hope to get these sent home to you before the weeks end. I will drop you each an e-mail when I post them.
Lazyweeder picked for MaideofShade- and will be sending from his post office- and SandysGardens picked for Oknish who will be sending from her post office.
Much thought and hunting of folks wishes were put into each envelope- I do hope you all are pleased with what was found for you!

Julie, Sandy and everyone else that contributed seeds to the seed swap, I want to thank everyone for them. I was truly surprised when I opened my envlope with all of the little seed packets in there. I will truly enjoy all of your pretty blooms in Spring and this Summer.
I am going to do a few w.s. in a few weeks, when ever it warms up a little. I would be afraid to put them out there now being so cold. Have a great day - THANKS AGAIN !!! OrDella Knish

Hi, Selkie and Julie:

I got my evenlop yesterday - boy, was I thrilled to see so many little packets of seeds! I got 79 packets in all! I had a long list and almost all of them are filled! Thank you Selkie for picking and packing them. You are great! Thanks everyone who has sent in seeds. I am so looking forward to summer. I hope next winter I'd be able to contribute more varieties of seeds.

Glad you enjoyed them, Ying! I remembered you and it was a lot of fun going through everything and hunting them all down. Have fun getting them all sprouting :)
