NEW: Ara's Round Robin

21 years ago

This will be a pass the box swap. Packages will be sent priorty mail with confirmation number.

Things to put in the box should be garden related items and other things too if you wish. You can send seeds, starter kits, plant markers, seed envelopes, garden magazines, etc. You can also send items such as scented candles, lotions, figurines, and so on.

Inside the box will be the list of names and addresses and the order in which the box will be sent. When you get the box take out items you wish to keep and replace them with equal number of items of your choice, then send the box on to the next person on the list.

Seed packs need to contain:

12-15 seeds if the seeds are large (pea sized)

20-25 seeds if the seeds are medium (pepper sized)

35-40 seeds if the seeds are tiny (moss rose/poppy sized)

There won't be any plants in this swap due to the heat and lack of rain that so many of us are suffering right now.

The cut off date to sign up will be August 15th. I want to get the first box on it's way by August 20th.

There are four on the list now.

I need these four to sign in here please.

    Ara, I sent you an e-mail. I would love to join. Thanks for the offer. FYI, I would try not to send any lotion this time of year. They tend to exploid due to the heat.

    Thanks, suzy

    Welcome aboard squanzon, momtoej, Monipook and WYnative!

    A special thank you to Sue (skohler)who is sending me a whole bunch of seeds for this RR.

    Monipook, good suggestion concerning the lotion exploding. If anyone does want to send lotion, please make sure and place it in a double zip lock baggie to avoid the possibility of it blowing up in the heat and ruining all the seeds in the box.

    We're up to nine now, anybody else want to join?

    Just wanted to let everyone know that this robin is just for newbies. I should have made that clear from the git go, "hind-sight...twenty twenty" and all that...

    Still waiting on a few of you to get the forms I emailed you sent back to me. If I don't hear back from you by 6 PM tomorrow (Tuesday), I'll assume that you've decided not to participate in this one.

    hi, i'm posting to stay in from the cancelled robin, thanks erica

  • 21 years ago

    I'm glad you decided to stay with the group efrosty1.

    To all those who have signed up I hope I didn't come across as being in too much of a hurry to get the information forms back. I just wanted to get them back as soon as possible so that I would have plenty of time to get everything organized. This is my first time to host a RR and I don't want to mess up and disappoint anyone.

    So I apologize for rushing ya'll and withdraw my Tue. 6pm deadline. You have until 6:30....just kidding LOL! If you haven't sent yours back to me yet then please try to have it back by Thursday or Friday.

    Good morning fellow bird watchers.

    The robin is getting very close to leaving the nest. I received a box of seeds and gifts from Sue yesterday. Did I mention seeds? WOW! seeds, seeds, and more seeds.

    The seeds for newbies were donated by Mellen, djm906 and Sue. A very special thank you to all three of you for your generosity.

    There are thirteen on the list now:

    Thirteen, hmmm...I don't have triskaidekaphobia, but fourteen or fifteen sure would be a more comfortable number.

I have never been a part of one of these, gardening or any other topic. DonÂt want to let anyone down. Hope all is well w/ everyone and looking forward to getting to know all of you!
