    If you join two or more of my swaps,you can send all the swap seeds in one envelope.Just send the seeds for the different swaps in different ziploc's; label what swap they're for on the baggie's this will save money on postage,plus you'll still be in the swaps you signed up for.Does that make any sense.Couldn't figure out how to word it.heehee

    Count me in. Maybe we should extend the deadline for this swap so we can get some more participants?

    Need an address to send the tree/shrub seeds to... or is this swap postponed due to lack of interest??

    Yes I mailed mine in on Feb 22. Could take another 3 to 13 days to get to you. A letter I sent from here to Texas took 18 days... the Postal Service is being slow with regular mail.

    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
