    Please add on and in your envelope Vine Seed Swap.

    Your a bad girl you didn't put your g/w name on your seed packets.lol.Others don't either the next time I'm marking them for those of you who forget to follow rules.lol.The bad girls of g/w.HeeHee
    Anyway I'm going outside to plant a rose or 2 or 3 I went to walmart and got carried away,their bagged but I had first choice and they(wal-mart)hasn't had time to abuse them yet,by underwatering.I know I worked there and I'd water their plants for the extra hrs.They looked good when I was watering.lol.I bought a Basik iris and a Mammoth EE that I owe someone,mine wants to be stubborn and not give me a pup until spring.[(*^%$#!#$@$#%/%@!+$& )]Oh well.
    Heading out to dug a hole before dark.I've used spotlights before and I left my Christmas tree lights on my pourch for light,looks like a redneck.lol.I don't have an outside porchligh.Enough blabbering.Thanks,Jody
    Add one more to the potluck.lol.

  • 21 years ago

    lol I think redneck with the christmas lights is the way to go we put swag lights up on the front porch years ago had to use a ladder on a hill and I vowed not to take them down til they stop lighting up. something about a ladder on the side of hill doesnt thrill me much I was actually thinking about a set of net lights for on my trellis but havent gotten that far yet

  • 21 years ago

    I've got these packed and will go out today.Everyone sent in lots of cardinal vine and lots of orange trumpet vine.Most of you will be getting dups. if you sent in duplicates.Most will get dups,period.Sorry but we just didn't have enough people sending in for the swap.I know I can't make everyone happy.I sent a everyone a few seeds of yellow orchid vine,also called butterfly vine.Hope that helps make up for the swap.darn it my swaps are usually pretty big.Thanks for joing and sending.
    Poor Abitodd,I never have received her package.I haven't heard from her for awhile,I hope she's not mad at me,it's not my fault,try the stupid post office.Thanks,Jody

  • 21 years ago

    Jody I rec'd my vine swap today I was so excited to see what was in the pack I opened it up and screamed my first glance thoguht was dead huge moths bugs and me not a good mix after I handed the package to Larry for a quick look and laughed at his surprise I remembered the orchid vine you said you put in Thank you so much for the swap it was great and I am very happy with what I got

    I got biggers package back and have to send it again.The address label fell off or I didn't put a label on it.Seems when it rains it pours.Jody

  • 21 years ago

    Thanks Jody, the seeds arrived with some nice surprises. Thanks for hosting.
    Beth

  • 21 years ago

    I' still not happy about the number of people in the swap.It was very off balance with some sending 10 pks and others sending more than 30.Some people sent no dups,some sent 3 of each kind.I did what I could which wasn't much.Lots sent the same seeds.Sorry if anyone is unhappy,I tried.Oh the loose seeds are yellow orchid vine/butterfly vine.If you brake them open and they don't have a seed in them let me know the next trade we do or when I get a few extra bucks,I'll send few more to everyone.These are hard for me to get,but I can get them.Thanks,Jody

    Swappers:
    To all of you who joined my swaps. IÂm very sorry that IÂve been ill and havenÂt felt well enough to finish these up. IÂm sure you were all anxious to get your seeds back to get them planted and growing or trade what you didnÂt want from the swap seeds.
    I know most of you included a list of what you sent in for the swap, a few of you didnÂt. Most marked the seeds packets they sent in, others didnÂt which has made it impossible to tell how many seeds to send back to you. I have e-mailed those two people and asked if they remember how many seeds packets they sent in. One will not answer me; the other person isnÂt sure. I have e-mailed one many times trying to get an answer. I hope they arenÂt angry with me for being ill. At the time I started these swaps I was feeling pretty good and thought, I could handle them, unfortunately that hasnÂt been the case.
    Another problem was since some of these swaps only had two-five people in them and some sent 15 packs while others sent 40 packs; some no repeats, some more than 4 of each, it was hard to do fair trading. Lesson learned from these swaps is if you donÂt have at least 15 people in a swap someoneÂs going to be disappointed.
    IÂve been sick about the whole thing. IÂm very sorry if some of you are unhappy with the seeds you received. I wish IÂd never have sent out any of the swaps and put all the seeds back into the envelopes and paid the postage to send them right back to everyone.
    Anyway; I hope no one gets angry about the seeds they get in the tree, vine or rare seed swap. I didnÂt have a lot to work with. I wouldnÂt blame any of you if you never joined another swap of mine.
    If anyone feels they have been shorted (PLEASE) contact me or post on the RR swap threads for all to see, instead of holding a grudge or talking behind my back.
    IÂm swapping the tree seeds tonight and getting them the heck out of here ....IÂm putting the last of the rare seed swap in the mail tomorrow too.
    I finished the vine swap a few weeks ago. Only a few participants e-mail they were happy and or they received the seeds. I hope this letter finds you all in good health and may all the seeds you plant grow well for you. A few people have e-mailed and asked why they havenÂt received their seeds back yet. I explained that IÂd been very ill, I guess to some seeds are more important that a persons health. Some guess people have never been sick with anything but the flu, someday you might understand what IÂm going through mentally and physically. I want to send a special thanks to my good friends who e-mail me to see how IÂm doing; bless you for understanding. My health is not in my hands itÂs something IÂm unable to change right now.
    Happy Gardening!
    Sincerely, Jody
