Tammy,

Wow, that is greatly organized!! I might have to steal your idea and have a notebook just for swaps I host!! Also, for the extra seeds, I don't mind either way but the idea of an actual box going around like old swaps did would be exciting!
~Michael :)

Tammy -- As Michael said, the offer of the extra seeds is very generous. I'd be happy to be able to pick a pack or two from your extra seeds. I think letting people choose from a list might be a better option. I know that the reason why there aren't many swaps that let you pick from the bag and then send it on, is because people would keep the entire contents and never send it. However, I'm happy with whichever way you'd like to do it.

Thanks Michael for the compliment. You are welcome to use any of my ideas.

Yes Erica I thought about that too that is why if we send a box it would be to only those that participated would be allowed but you are correct they may decide they want them all....

I am really leaning toward a list as I think that will be the fairest way to go.
Thanks for the input.

Tammy

Erica, you are so right and that's what is sad!!! We have to do more swaps tho where its like that. You put in packets, you take some out and pass it on! I did the seed train last year and that was super fun! (At least let's do it with members that we know and trust. One of us should host one in the future!)

Tammy, can't wait to see the list! I'm sure anything I get will be much appreciated it tho! I keep wanting my gardens to be more filled in with flowers spilling over each other!( that's the dream anyways!)

P.S. I might have bought more seeds at Kmart this evening LOL I couldn't resist looking at gardening stuff!

I think the list idea might work better. It would save postage, instead of shipping from person to person.

Ok I had my daughter go in and add all the seed packs that were in my tub to my seed trade list. They are in no particular order- Sorry! but due to time and she is much faster at typing than me I wanted to get this up as soon as possible. Ok so here is what to do.

Only participants in the New Year's Theme Swap may request up to 5 different packs of seed (seed count will vary as it depends on how much is in pack).

These packs will be your Bonus for being in swap.

I will let you know if seed packs you request are already in your return pack.

Thanks so much for letting me host this swap it has been fun!

Have a beautiful day!
Tammy

~michael

Thanks Michael!

All packages have been mailed. You should receive a package from Tammy McClearen, Seminole, Texas in the next few days. Keep me posted as you receive them. Thanks!

Not sure I like these changes! Can't see peoples zones, trade list, or even their birthdays.

Tammy

Yippee! I will be waiting by the mailbox. Thanks Tammy for doing this.

^^^^ That is my friend, Dawn1972, right?

Tammy, I'll post when package arrives. Mary E.

Yes Mary that is dawn1972. I have tried changing it but it says it is already in use so I added "_" the line to the end of it and it still won't change. Wow! I really hate this.

Tonya Brewer Denton is dawn1972 until I figure out how to change it.

Here you go Tonya...your user name is, or can be different than screen name.

See this link to show as dawn1972

Sue

Can I keep the same username?

I changed my last name to "zone 9b," in order to get my zone posted.

Hmm. Looks like you can't edit posts anymore. Anyhow, Dawn, change your first name to "dawn1972" and your last name to "zone X."

I cant wait to receive the package! I bet it will be amazing! Thanks for all the hard work Tammy! Thanks to everyone who has participated! :)

Can't edit posts? uh oh. Mary E.

So glad you received the swap pack Erica. It was lots of fun. I know what you mean by the word Research.. Wow never knew so many varieties existed.

Is the rate and review forum still here? I would like to leave a post for everyone who participated too.

Thanks!

Tammy

Ps I will be off my computer tomorrow as I am having a 3 hr dental procedure done. Three teeth removed ( wisdom) so I will be checking in Friday at some point.

Oh, Tammy, that does not sound like fun! The blizzard snow has slowed down mail delivery this week, last night it was delivered after 7:15pm. Today it came at 5pm, so Tammy just so you know it arrived safe. Mary E.

My seeds came today - yahoo! Thank you so much to everyone who sent seeds for me and to Tammy for all her work. Getting that package was the bright spot in my day. I have a few to look up for germination hints. i want to surround myself this summer with all the beautiful flowers and share all the great veggies with family and friends.

Thanks Sue:-)

Tammy, my package arrived yesterday and yay!!!!!! After a long day at work and a long nap, I found so many good seeds had come!! I am most excited to try the painted daisy seeds I got! Again, in my infinite wisdom, I thought it was an annual for some reason but after researching, I guess not lol and they look so neat! (plus I'm a sucker for anything that has different foliage, esp fern foliage!) ALL great seeds and I'm excited to grow these next year!! Thanks to everyone who participated and gave me some good seeds and thank you Tammy, you did a great job! :)

~michael

Got mine after a long day at work yesterday. Can't wait to start researching tonight. Thanks for letting me participate in my first RoundRobbin! And thanks for all the different seeds and hard work that went into making this a success! Got Spring Fever now.

Tammy, I received my package today. Thanks for all.

dawn1972

Tammy, thank you for all your organizing and hard work. My package included wonderful choices by several participants, the bonus seeds and the packs of seeds I won in the games.It is nine degrees here, but this package gives me that winter sowing itch. Mary E.

Got my package the other day. Thanks for all. I cant wait to start sowing seeds. Tammy thank you for hosting this swap. You did a wonderful job.

I haven't gotten my package yet, Ill post as soon as it arrives....Lisa

Thanks Lisa for letting me know. Keep me posted.

Tammy

Hi Tammy, I got my package! It was actually sitting in my husbands truck when I posted that it hadn't come. He should know by now not to hold out on a bubble envelope! He said he forgot.

I'm so happy for the 4 peony seeds! I have them soaking and will pot them up as soon as they sprout. The others that you sent were an added bonus! I have already potted up a few of them.

Thank you for hosting, it was great!

Lisa

Lisa,

I am glad you got it, I was going to check the tracking if you didn't get it today. Those peony seeds I got from my sister she grows them and I have tried before with

no success :((

Hopefully yours will grow and be beautiful I always envy my sisters yard so much prettier than mine..LOL!

I think everyone has received their package if I counted right. Thank you all for a great swap!

CGHPND- I thought I saw an email that you received yours but its not posted here on forum so I wanted to double check and make sure I was correct. I will also email you too.

I am thinking of still doing a round robin box swap just haven't got all the details wrote down yet. So we shall see in the next few days if I have the time to do it.

Thanks again,

Tammy

Received an email from Cghpnd today stating package was received. Can't get on forum as account is messed up with Houzz but wanted me to thank everyone that sent seeds for them. Hopefully soon the account can get straightened out and cghpnd will be back with us.

Tammy

Tammy, stay in touch. Mary E.
