Hi all,
I'm a newbie. I've never WS'd anything and am almost afraid to! I would love to learn from all of you the secrets behind WSing successfully. As for seeds, I'm looking for just a few:

- Campanula
- Heliopsis
- English delphinums
- Salvia (clary)
- Sundrops (tall variety, sorry, I forget the name!)
- Butterfly weed
- Columbine (any yellow variety)
- Larkspur
- Poppies (any kind)

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.

Evelyn

Hi! A new garden friend I made (DirtySC8) :) directed me to here! I currently have been making some seed trades the last few months but have never attempted to grow any yet...DirtySC8 has shown me some wonderful advice for winter-sowing and I am very interested in doing this. This will be my first for any seeds. I would love very much to be included in receiving any seeds that would be good to winter-sow for my very cold zone 5 area. Just a few different varieties would be nice since I do not have alot of yard space to use. Thanks so much!

I did some resarch and has soem recomendatiosn by other gardeners. I have some names of things that I would like...

Polemonium
Rodgersia nepalensis
Nepeta
Incarvillea 'Snowtop'
Heuchera
Hesperis
Francoa
White Poppies

thanks!

Annette

Hi All,
I have been lurking forever in the orchid section but am really new to seeds. I just bought a house with a big yard and would love to fill it to the brim with flowers and herbs! I have sunny, semi-shady, and shady spots to put seeds in, I love fragrant flowers and vines (no morning glories or ivies please! They grow like weeds in my soil and choke out everything else!) I am so excited about this round robin as it would have cost me hundreds to buy seeds to plant in my barren garden! Thank you so much to everyone who gave seeds, I hope to reciprocate once I have seeds collected! Here are some plants I absolutely love although anything is welcome at this point in time:
Daturas
Marigolds
Poppies
Lilies
Irises (don't quite know if these come in seeds)
Herbs of any kind
Gazinias
Gerber daisies
Hollyhocks
Gladiolas
Calendula
Hostas
Sweet peas
Cone Flowers
Love in a mist
Nasturtiums
Anyway, you get the idea, I LOVE LOVE LOVE flowers! Thanks again and happy holidays!

You are doing a wonderful gift to many with this newbie give away! I was new last year to seed collecting and sowing, and was helped by many (you inclueded) with seeds to get me started and helped again this year by many GW'rs when I lost a lot of my garden to a hail storm. My sister just sent up another collection of seeds from her co-workers in Kansas and I would love to send them in. I see things on some newbies list that they would fit their wish! Please send me your mailing info.

Many bloooms to everyone!!

Hi Kat, I think we have traded before. Not exactly a newbie, avid gardener, and once worked in a specialty greenhouse in New Orleans where we grew 90% from seed, lots of open pollinated and heirloom. Totally wiped out by Katrina. Closed on a house here in North Georgia yesterday (hubbies dream), leave for N.O. sometime next week to rip out mouldy plaster! Need everyhing and everything that might grow in zone 7a. Email me the address to send my SASE. This will be a godsend, Hope to have small greenhouse up by January. New email is kientz1000@earthlink

Hello everyone, I am a newbie as several of my posts earlier this fall indicated. I have gathered and purchased a moderate amount of seed for year one, so not looking for all of your wonderfull and gracious offers of additional seeds. My success/failure rate will certainly help determine how to adjust my seed gathering next year. But certainly speaking for all the newbies, this WS community is oh so generous and most of all FUN. It's getting so close to sowing time and I just can't wait. Good Luck to all and HAPPY SOWLIDAYS :).

I am not really new to Gradenweb but new to winter sowing, does that count. I dont normally start things from seed but want some Arborvitae 'Green Giant' trees and the are so expensive I decided to try it. And then of course I found the winter sowing forum and was hooked from there...lol
I would like to have any kind of Hardy Hibiscus seed, and some ground cover seeds for a bare bank in my front yard.
Pat

Newbie here. I just picked up some seeds on ebay so I will be able to make a contribution to the group. I am looking for flowers that attract hummingbirds for mom. Dill and parsley for mom. Wave petunia in lavender,purple,burgandy,salmon,or peach for me. Regarding the bubble envelopes, are 6"x9" OK? This site is da bomb!

Hey, Webkat.

How new do you have to be? I started in August and recently got burned on a large trade so my collection for next spring was almost used up. Do you think I could get in on this RR? If not it's ok...there will be others that are tempting.

I just had a member who was very genrous with her seeds so I have some extras I could contribute to the pot also. As you may remember from our previous trades I'm not picky with my choices but any black flowers or black foliage seeds would be highly prized by me right now.

LMK.

MBT

It's my first year winter sowing, but I think I have some extras to contribute. Everyone has been so generous with me in my first season of trading that I would like to pay it forward!

Please send me the addy to send the seeds in, we've traded before webkat, and I'm happy to help out.

Jenny

Hi Webkat, I'm not new to gardening but new to gw. I am new to growing from seed and would love to be included in this. This is so great what you all are doing, I'm not picky and would be happy with just about anything that grows in Zone 7. I especially like

I'd like to add my name if I might...I'm new to sharing seed,and would like a few,if someone can share some.I can't figure out how to make a list of what I have to offer,as the journal seems to get me nowhere...so I'll just post...sorry,I just don't know how to do it properly.
I have...hollyhocks,and giant marigolds....
I'd like...lavender,dill,rosemary,and anything that might thrive in my almost totally sunny yard. I do veggie gardens also,thank you very much. Happy Holidays to all!!

Oh Boy! Yet ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT


Yeaaaaa!! My final has been taken and my class is now over!!

Just talked to the P.O. and they said they have a couple BAGS
of packages waiting there for me!! Aaaaak!!

Guess I better get my hiney over there!!
I will update the arrivals here when I can go through them all and log them in....

One other thing....
some of the vets have offered to allow me to keep some of the seeds.
While this is a wonderful gesture,
and one I most sincerely appreciate :o)....
I currently have over 500 different types and need more seeds
like I need another hole in my head!! LOL!
I will continue to trade with those searching for specific items that I have,
but in need of seeds, I am not....it's all for the Newbies!!
Yipee!!!! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!

HI all :o0

I sure can't be called a newbie either to GW nor gardening in general. I am however back to square one. My home was in St.Bernard Parish, what you can think of as a burb of New Orleans. Yep when I say starting over I mean all over. I am happy to say that while I did lose my home and all within both my wife and I are well. We are also most lucky in that the house that I had been building (with my own two hands I always add ;o)in Ms. came through with out any harm. The house is just a shell, I was to start with the electric last Oct., so its a bit rough now but all is starting to come together. We just got into a FEMA trailer this past weekend and that has gotten us out of the cold, we now have a bed (no more air matress and can take a shower!

I tell ya all this so you understand that while I am not a newbie any help with seed would be greatly welcome. I am mainly in need of any vegetable seed you can share to help feed the family this spring. I'm breaking raw land so won't have a ready space till then.

Thank you!

Mike

You guessed it, another ANNOUNCEMENT

strmywthr3
I am stuffing your envelopes!!

And to repeat, I will post one final newbie wish list compilation at the deadline (Dec. 15) and then when the Newbie envelopes are ready to be "loaded onto Santa's sleigh" (the post holiday shift ;o) ), I will send a mass e-mail to all of you!!

HO, HO, HO!!!!!


WebKat5

So, some of you might be wondering, "How in the world is she keeping it all straight??"
Well, just in case you ever want to do this some day...I will tell you! :o)


First, I have some time on my hands around the holiday season because I am on a break from college and, quite frankly, even though I am still working, I just couldn't think of any better way to spend all of my "extra time", wink, wink! Also, the P.O. is working with me a little by holding the envelopes for a couple days....they wouldn't fit in my mailbox and this way we are insured there won't be any unnecessary freezing incidents!!


Second, I have different "mailboxes" set up on e-mail program. One for Newbies, one for Vets, one for vet packs received, one for newbie SASBE's received, and finally one for "Done-mailed". As the status changes for each participant, the e-mails get moved around.


Third, I have wish lists typed up, printed out and attached to the newbie's SASBE envelopes.


Fourth, as the veteran packs come in, and I know this part seems tedious, I log in each seed by type and quantity. Instead of wading through all of the seed packs when trying to fulfil wish lists, I can just refer to my list and jot the Newbie name down by each seed. Then I will just line up the envelopes, spread the seed packs in front of me, have my list handy for reference, and then pick up a seed pack and toss it in the proper envelope....and on from there. Now of course, this is how smoothly it is going in my mind and have not tested this method (LOL), but it seems to be the easiest route. I certainly appreciate the vets designating a portion, if not all, of their seeds....that is going to help immensely!!


Fifth, I am using "form letter" e-mails to a certain extent for directions, etc... I have the Newbies in a group list in my address book and the veterans have their own group list in my address book. This also insures privacy for all involved. Gotta think of everything!!


Well, there it is....in a nutshell.....my plan. Now, I certainly hope everyone will follow through as one side does depend on the other....


Everyone should end up with that "warm & fuzzy feeling" (as veteran garden_witch wants in return :o) ) this holiday season!!!


Keep 'em coming!!!


WebKat5

WebKat,
Newbie here. I would love to participate! Searched trade lists and this is what I came up with for my wish list, however I'll be happy with anything other than the river rock and few weeds currently thriving in my front yard. I guess that was the previous owners idea of xeriscaping. Anyway, here goes:

Datura (Metel or?)
Canna (any, have orange)
Trumpet Vine
Lilium (any)
Monarda Didyma
Pyrus Communis, Keifer
Butterfly weed
Ratibida Columnifera, Mexican Hats
Liatris (any)
Malva Sylvestris, Braveheart
Papaver (reds, yellows, pinks, purple)
Cardinal Climber
Verbascum (any)
Red Hot Poker
Lychnis, Angel's Blush
Echinacea (any)

Big task you've taken on, and during finals! You're brave. I'ld like to help and send extra stamps with my sasbe.
Thanks, Krissy

I was reading over the requests---I have already mailed Mike a large packet of different veggie seeds. But I am sure he can use more. Dale

ATTENTION NEWBIES!!

For all of the Newbies whose e-mail addresses were hidden, I have attempted to e-mail you via Garden Web.
The majority have e-mailed me (thanks!)....and if you have heard from me, then disregard this... :o)

However, if you have not received instructions from me, I need you to respond (send me an e-mail) with your e-mail address to confirm your participation. I have no other way of getting ahold of you....

So....if you have been wondering why you haven't received SASBE instructions, it is because I can't send them if I don't have your e-mail address. :o) I would really hate to see you miss out on this just because you didn't e-mail me..... :o( DEADLINE IS TONIGHT AT MIDNIGHT (CST)!!!

Thanks!!

WebKat5

Hi, I have a lot of extra seeds I'd love to find new homes for. Let me know where to send them. Thanks!

--Jean

I would love to take part in this. I won't post a wish list for fear of missing out on something that would be really cool! I would be happy with anything you have to spare for zone 5 both shade and sun.

Well, we have officially reached the deadline for this event.....

Veterans,

You can still refer to this thread for the final Newbie Wish List compilation.

Santa is back!!

MrsGalihad will be Santa this year!!

Her main page is on the seed exchange:

Adopt-A-Newbie 2006 on the Seed Exchange forum


I brought these pages back so you can check out the great fun we had last year.


Thank you MrsGalihad!!

Is this still ongoing?? I need help getting started. PLMK thanks.

I was wondering the same thing?
I just started gardening. I dont know very much about flowers. I do have a veggie gardent that is doing quite well but would like to do more in the flower department.....
Thanks

OK, yes I am a Newbie.
Also new to outdoor flowers. I want to plant alot of summer flowers that will re-seed. I have 2 acres to work with now and am looking to do alot of different beds. I love all flowers but have no seeds to share. I want to do the natural looking beds rather than all things lined up. I like the monarda, bellflower, coneflower & black eyed susans. Does anyone have seeds? I promise, I will have seeds to share when I get this going.
Thanks
Cindy

Cindy, this thread is out of date and inactive. There is a different adopt-a-newbie thread that is more current and active. Please re-post to it, thanks.

The adopt-a-newbie thread has been updated. It is now called "sponsor a newbie." It was started by wilmoth (Donna.) If you're new, Welcome to Gardenweb! :)

Please post to the "sponsor a newbie" thread, not here. Thanks. :)

Hi are you still doing this. I am a newbie and would like to be adopted please. really new to gardening but willing to learn. So please adopt me

Hi. I am VERY new (today) and I am new to gardening. We just bought our very first house this fall, and I can not wait to garden. What is easy for a new gardener?

I am in Maryland and I am willing to send a SASE.
My family loves tomatos, potatoes, strawberries, string beans, but I want to do others as well.
Any advice or seeds is greatly appreciated :)
