Fall Sweep RR

18 years ago

In looking at my seed stash, I know that I have way too many seeds that I'm not going to use. Please join me for a Fall Sweep RR - send 25 packs of seeds, marked with name of seed, GW name and you will receive 25 different packs. Please try to keep age of seeds to 2008 and 2007, and no more than two packs of each variety so everyone gets a good selection. Send me an email to let me know you're interested at aba563@aol.com. The closing date for participation will be 9/30/08. Thanks! Ann

    mine will go out on Monday..I forgot to put my name on each envie..duh!

  • 18 years ago

    My seeds are also going out Monday am. Sorry such a procrastinator but had to work several doubles and 12's this week! But they will be on there way! Melinda

  • 18 years ago

    my bubble was mailed yesterday!

  • 18 years ago

    Hopefully everybody's seeds are in the mail so I can get these seeds out of my house. My poor husband thought I was keeping all of them and was ready to have me committed. He was SOOOO much happier when he found out they were all leaving and more of my own as well. Thanks to everyone for being part of this RR.

    I'm late, but they are on the way Ann. Sorry!

    Oops!! Usually when a swap deadline is posted here, the closing date mentioned is the actual last date to send, not the date that's one day too late to send... so I got confused. :(

    I've been very busy with harvest season and schoolwork. Had not been following this thread, so I missed the post that said "Remember to mail out your seeds before 9/30."

    I had honestly taken the very first post which said "closing date for participation 9/30" to mean that mailing them today (9/30) would also be OK.

    I wanted to pack & mail my seeds over the recent weekend to have 'em in the mail a couple days before 9/30. Couldn't do it sooner than that, because quite a few of my seeds weren't even ripe enough to harvest till Friday.

    Nature sure has been uncooperative with me... Not just because of the later-than-usual seed ripening, either.

    On Fri. I got hit with a yucky case of the flu which had me incapacitated till this morning!! :(

    My seeds are in the mail, as of today.

    I apologize for my confusion, and for delays due to uncooperative natural forces in my area.

  • 18 years ago

    Did you email to let us know that you got the seeds? Or can you post. Just want to be sure they got there. Thanks!

  • 18 years ago

    I will try to post the last names of those people whose seeds I have received - have to do that because not everyone put their GW names on the packages. If you do not see your name please email me and let me know when the seeds went out. If I remember correctly I have about 21 packages. Later, Ann

  • 18 years ago

    OK, I'm packing up and am mailing today the following packages (please forgive me but I'm using last names only):
    Layton, Brady, Reynolds and Strassman. More will get mailed out later but these I'm putting in the mail right now.

  • 18 years ago

    Here are the packages that I am mailing this morning: Moyer, Hammons, Scatlin, Banks, Sheets

    Becky Marcus - I was packing up yours this morning and accidently in my sleep deprived brain scratched out your address. Could you please resend? I can't find your email or I would have emailed you directly, sorry. Ann

  • 18 years ago

    I'm so excited I could pee my pants! Heehee!

    Diana

  • 18 years ago

    Mailing out 4 more packages: Mazzarella, Matney, Strock and Logsdon

    More to follow...

  • 18 years ago

    These packages will go out tomorrow: Gainey, Hatfield, Hagen, Sandoval, Walter, Clement, McGowan, Christopher, Drance.

    Doing the happy dance that I've shared lots of my own stash with everyone. Thanks for participating! Ann

  • 18 years ago

    is it done?

  • 18 years ago

    Yeah, I am excited and will have something great to look forward to! Melinda

  • 18 years ago

    Hi Ann,

    Your last post sound like your done, but I don't see my name anywhere. Did you get the seeds I sent to you?

    Thanks!
    Diana

  • 18 years ago

    Sorry for the confusion, I have just a few more packages which I'm packing up today. All should be in the mail by tomorrow. So keep an eye out!

    The ones mailed today are: Yit Bien, Lescota, Fisher, Nicolai, Ruzicka, Smith

  • 18 years ago

    OK, here are the last packages that are ready to go. If I don't have your name listed on the last few posts then I never got your package. The last names are, drum roll, please: Greene and Marcus!!

    Now I can officially say,thank you for participating in this round robin. I am so happy that I could host and share lost of my own stash with all of you! Thanks, Ann

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks so much for your hard work, Ann. Now you really can take a nap! :)

  • 18 years ago

    ;)

    Oh well, I guess my package never arrived! too bad that there wasn't some indication of this earlier on. I mailed on Spetember 13th! (perhaps there were no seeds appropriate for me) I usually include a note saying not to send me any if there are noneapropriate to my conditions.

  • 18 years ago

    *Applauding the hostess, I hand her a nice thank-you bouquet of flowers and pretty foliage from my garden.*

  • 18 years ago

    Applause all around! Thank you for letting me know! I was glad to learn my seeds did not get lost!

    Big round of applause indeed! I don't know how you all cope with hosting these swaps, but I am very glad that you do!

    I'm getting a package from Angie this weekend, my monarch chrysalis is getting ready to open and I'm going to be getting new seeds!

    Thanks again Ann - your efforts are appreciated!

    I hope everyone gets their packages over the next few days and that everyone is happy with the mix. I tried hard to follow any requests, not all were possible, but hopefully everyone got something that they liked. Happy gardening to all! Ann
    P.S. Try Winter Sowing if you haven't already. It was WAY cool last year and I can't wait for the winter to start on next year's plants.

  • 18 years ago

    My seeds arrived today and I was delighted with the mix and different kinds. Thanks so much for hosting and for coordinating the swap, Ann. It was great fun. I can't wait to try winter sowing for the first time.
    And thanks to all who contributed seeds for my stash!
