Seed offer 2008 Ending

17 years ago

That's it for this year. No more request,please.

There are 7 people who have made requests that I haven't received their envelopes. I will fill those if I receive them within the next 10 days.

I had 71 requests and most people followed directions which made it easy for me but there were some who did not--no baggies, baggies not labeled, not enough postage, failed to acknowledge receipt of seeds, etc. and that makes me think if there are future offers they will be in a different manner

Not a requirement, but if you post results next summer it gives me an idea how true they are growing. Either way have fun with them.

    1. Wow.

    Thanks for going that extra mile and spreading the seed.

    Hopefully some of us that received seed from you can share with others who ask in the future.

    You've spread a lot of genetic material all over. Locally, there will be more than a handful of people who will get seed from me off these peppers next summer/fall.

    I haven't received my seeds yet, but thanks for the effort. It's much appreciated.

    Haven't received your envelope yet but that's probably due to all the Christmas cards in the mail.

    Thanks again, John. You totally rock for doing the huge seed offer this year.

    Happy Holidays!

    Hi John,

    I sent you the envelope on 12/16, but I didn't label them. I was not sure if I was supposed to do so. I did include stickies for labeling.

    Thanks again for the offer

    Jesse- I received your acknowledgement and you are welcome and best wishes to you too.

    Chaud--yours will be back in the mail today

    fieldermester, I received the package of seeds yesterday. Thank you for the various varieties. I can't wait to plant them

  • 17 years ago

    I think I followed the instructions exactly so I assume I will receive mine soon. I will let you know. I really appreciate the opportunity to try some of those. Carol

  • 17 years ago

    You are welcome Chaud-thanks for letting me know they arrived

    Carol --I haven't received your envelope yet--perhaps the holiday mail--I mail them back the day after I receive them.

    John,

    I had sent you an email on Dec. 13th telling you the seeds came while I was in the hospital. Did you get that email?

    I was able to start two of them in my greenhouse and have germination already. I only planted three seeds of two varieties, the Kaleidoscope and the Costeno Amarillo. I have three seeds coming up in both pots.

    Thank you again for doing this. I very much appreciate you helping me get started on a variety of hot peppers.

    John - I don't remember what day I mailed it, but I have been to Mexico and back since then. Guess Carnival Cruise Line is faster than the US Post Office. LOL

    The latest it could have been mailed was 20 December so I would think it should have been there by now. I mailed several offers and swaps at the same time and have them back.

    This is the first time I have had problems getting things out of here although I have had trouble receiving mail. In my neighborhood we have another house that has exactly the same address as ours except that one is Road and the other Lane. They mix that up a lot. Last week I got a call from the PO saying they couldn't deliver a package to me because I didn't have a mailbox. (I have had the same one for 7 years). I went to the PO to pick it up and they couldn't find it and then told me that there was no such address as the one I had given them........then they found the package. The package had two annotations on it. The first one said "on 621 Road" which is wrong. The 2nd one said, "the house is vacant but they are home". (Neither house is vacant) So that was three different stories from them. And the worse part, ...........it wasn't even seeds......and was my husbands package. LOL

    Mark--I did and responded to yours--you are welcome.

    Carol--That does seem a long time-I'll let you know if it shows up

  • 17 years ago

    John - Thanks again for your work. I will send you an update in the spring as to how your seeds are growing. If I do well with them, I will make seeds available next fall. I think we benefactors should share some of the load.

    Best wishes for the new year - Rick

  • 17 years ago

    Happy New Year to you too, Rick. I hope lots will follow your example and there will be more variety for everyone.

    John

  • 17 years ago

    Received the seeds.

    Thanks a lot...and thanks for the extras!

  • 17 years ago

    Well John, Maybe you will get my bubble envelope in order to fill it with next years crop. LOL

    If and when it ever arrives, it has 12 little plastic bags with the names of the peppers printed on labels and stuck inside the bags, and the postage to send it back.

    It has not come back to me, so guess it just got lost somewhere in between. I hand carried it to the PO here.

    Last year I got a notice that I hadn't paid my water bill. I looked through everything and decided they were right, so I went down and paid it. That was in April. In September, I finally got the bill in my mail.

    I suppose that I could have done something dumb and not put the right address or something, but if so I would expect it to be returned.

    I do appreciate your offer just the same and maybe I can get some if you offer again. Thanks. Carol

  • 17 years ago

    nc-crn you are welcome. I hope they do well for you.

    Carol

    I still haven't received your envelope but assume it will either get here or be returned to you ( I haven't lost one yet). In either case not to worry-- I have the seeds set aside for you.

    That's great John. If it doesn't show up in a few more days, I will send another.
