Round Robin Seed Box

11 years ago

Hello Everyone,

I have been in these before but nobody has hosted one lately so I thought it would be kinda fun to do another. Always feels like Christmas to me seeing all the seeds.

Here are the Rules:

Will take 12 signups and then we will start the Robin on his Flight.

1. No more then 5 pks of one kind of seed can be used. Acceptable seeds are Vegetables, Flowers, Herbs, Trees.

2. No old seeds please

3. no seeds that are molding or wet.

4. Make sure you replace seeds that you taking out of the Round Robin.

5. Label each seed pack

Plant name:

Sun/Shade:

Hardyness if you know it

Your Houzz/GW username

Specify if the seeds are from your garden/Commercial/trade

6. Please make sure that all seed packets are sealed good so that the seeds don't come out of the packets.

7. Make sure that each player gives me there mailing address, email address, and phone number.

8. Please make sure that you are watching for the Round Robin. When it is near your time to receive that Round Robin that you let the group know

9. Make sure that if you had received the round Robin that you tell the group.

  1. There will be a tracking number on the Round Robin, PLEASE don't keep the Robin for more than THREE DAYS so it will go faster.
  2. Have fun!!!!!!!!

Have a beauiful day!

Tammy

    I found three that could be unscrambled in multiple ways to produce words relating to the garden. Perhaps it was one of those?

  • 11 years ago

    GREAT JOB ERICA!!!

  • 11 years ago

    ERICA IS OUR WINNER!!!!!! Congrats!!! Game is now over! Prize will be mailed.

  • 11 years ago

    Both of you did great!!! Thanks for playing!

  • 11 years ago

    Tammy, for my own knowledge which ones are correct that you posted that could be something else?

  • 11 years ago

    Yay! Thanks, Tammy!


  • 11 years ago

    Bluee19- the ones you had wrong was

    You put danger and it was garden

    and then the #17 you put sowed and I said look carefully because it was two words and you put dowses. It was two words: Sow seeds.

    #12 yam

    I am gonna send you a runner up prize as I think you both deserve one. I enjoyed watching the posts change.

    Tammy

  • 11 years ago

    Please no prize needed. I wanted to know for my own knowledge the answers from your scrambled words. Thanks for thinking of me anyway!! I love word games!!

  • 11 years ago

    Look how that box made it through three people in one week. A tough act for you next three to follow.

    Congrats to Erica! Mary


  • 11 years ago

    Three cheers to all the speedy senders!

    And to our indefatigueable hostess Tammy! Susan, birthday girl, watch your mail box!

    Lorabell, heads up, you are closer than you think.

  • 11 years ago

    Ok everyone I am ready to play with seeds. I am letting you know my poor post office is so slow at recording and delivering. They closed a large ,main branch. Now my small rundown location handles a very large area. My man works really long days on a tight timed route. Now the lost envlie of seeds I don't track , I don't know who to blame. Sometime I think if the postage is enough they just don't send it back to me? Don't get excited. It will be here. Susan

  • 11 years ago

    Hello they robin landed in Dayton Ohio . But I am to tired to enjoy it. I will get up refreshed ready to play with the seeds. I will send out n Friday on the way to the doctors. Good night friends

  • 11 years ago

    Just got back from the post office. The tracking is 9400109699937699484392 . On the way to south Carolina. This was fun Susan

  • 11 years ago

    Oh, please tell me you sent it to NORTH Carolina, not south. Not sure I can handle having my address wrong a second time. Ha

  • 11 years ago

    The address is correct on this one so there should be no problems.

    Hopefully we will know something on the insurance from the first one and we might all be able to benefit from it too.

    Hope everyone has a safe and blessed weekend.

    Tammy

  • 11 years ago

    I was going from memory. Oh it is Raeford N. Carolina 28376. Just hit cincinnatti Ohio. In transit. Be there Monday.

  • 11 years ago

    Sorry I didn't see the request if I wanted back in. Wasn't the box lost? I guess that's why I haven't been following. Sorry I missed it.

  • 11 years ago

    Sguanzon - yes the first box was lost. But I sent another one out. But if you would still like to receive it when it returns to me I am going to send it to a few others so just let me know and I'll get you on that list.

    Have a beautiful day!

    Tammy

  • 11 years ago

    No package today.

  • 11 years ago

    It is in Greensboro . Be there on Weds. on the way

  • 11 years ago

    Yes, it says it's been delayed. I do believe there is a curse on my address preventing me from receiving any seeds. Perhaps I have enough and should be happy with what I have? NEVER!!!( laughing hysterically!). I just finished filling out the permit for customs for a small lot ...I can bring 50 different seeds varieties (50) in each pack back from Europe. Will be hitting up Scotland England France and Germany ...already have an order from Thompson and Morgan waiting for me in England.. I don't know the meaning of too many!

  • 11 years ago
    last modified: 11 years ago

    Lorabell -- I'm insanely jealous. How cool it would be to travel through Europe collecting seeds!

  • 11 years ago

    Oh How much fun is that. I would hit every garden center also. I took a train to California. And mailed back the plants I brought. It was fun. Gosh with so many eyes watching this seeds pack, they better get it to you. Here is my first zucchinni


  • 11 years ago

    Delivered in box at Shiloh TN, tell me I'm not jinxed! I'm not at house because this morning it said it would be delivered tomorrow! We'll see what awaits me this evening!

  • 11 years ago

    . It was in Raeford . Now delivered in Shiloh Tenn. Do they have their tracking numbers confused? I try to give them a chance. But this is incompetent. . I am sick about this. Susan

  • 11 years ago

    Just got in and Robin HAS arrived. I will open when I get a little sleep and send it off this afternoon. Do I get a prize for worse postal service ever?

  • 11 years ago

    WOW YIPPEE Lorabell! Are you sure it is Box 2 ?? LOL

  • 11 years ago

    Yes they take the long way around.

    The RR seed box has arrived back home. He looks a little damaged and rough around the edges but doesn't look like anything fell out. Now I get to see what everyone has put in.

    I just love swaps and round robins!

    I am going to start a new thread for the next Round Robin seed box and close this one.

    Everyone have a beautiful day!

    Tammy
