Thanks, Val! I am definitely interested!

Hello. I am very interested! I am sending you a message now.

Val, I have always wanted to seed swap, but didn't know how, or where to learn. Or, truth be told, get up the gumption to dare!

I felt like it was a secret legacy club I'd magically become a member of 'when I got old' and knew everything with a fabulous secret legacy garden, and a kitchen sink windowsill that effortlessly grew pineapples, avocado and grapefruit trees (mom did, why can't I?) from cutting board scraps to prove it!

Well, I've been reading this forum, really for the first time, and now I know better (grin). I am a long-time reader of seed saving, but I am new to doing it seriously and well myself. And yes, I am new to learning seed swapping, and this forum. As long as the supply holds, I think such a surprise in my mailbox would be fabulous!

Heather, Got your message and responded...NO secret club here...we're thrilled to have you on the Houzz/Gardenweb forums :) If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I have also sent messages to all who have posted here to date.
So happy to have some more newbies join us!

I am interested in this offer.

Hi Val, I am interested in your offer. I'll try to send you a message now. Thanks.

Messages sent to D Hov and Brandy - welcome to gardenweb!

I have a bunch of seed packets going out - Some were supposed to go out Friday but I hurt my back and was out of work last week and didnt get out, so they will go Monday as well to:

Heather B, Tamra F, Stacy S. Kat M, and TyY D.

No worries! Take care of yourself! :) You've got to rest now, so when it's gardening season, you're good to go!

You said it, Lcgrace! So glad it's Feb, and not May!!! ;)

Thank you!

Thank you, Val.

Sounds like your weekend could have been longer for some good recoup.

Lcgrace, that is just true.

And from where I dig, it seems February has turned into what might as well be May, overnight! Some seasons we have to just make ourselves simplify, or nothing will go good in the garden.

That's one thing about seed trading....I can easily imagine myself going crazy too much, too fast, too far overboard ;) :)

Lol ozark. I don't think we could ever have too much, too fast or too overboard. Welcome to seed trading! You are gonna love it as much as we do. :)

I am very excited to start a garden. Sending you a message now!

Have Messaged everyone I've heard from! :0)

Val and donators thank you so much for the seeds!!!!! I got so many I am thrilled! I am going to mark my calendar out for when I will plant them, and soon I will post seeds I can trade. I might need a small accordion folder for all of these!

Thank you again me and the pollinators will be happy with these plants!!!

I'm interested, if it's not too late. I'm sending a message now. Thank you!

I'm interested. Trying to pm you now. Thanks

lbrahim & Jenn, messages sent

Oh, My Goodness!! Wow. Thank you, Seed Exchange-ers!

It just happens that so many of these were on company orders I was just now compiling! I (almost) can't wait to get these growing and seed collected from my own plants, not just sharing from commercial packs!

Thanks to you, too, Val, for being the catalyst.

Jennifer L, your newbie seeds were mailed Monday

Jennifer R, got your stamps yesterday. Packet going out soon (today??)

Update to Jennifer R - yes, they went out Thursday!

I got my package today! I'm so excited I'm jumping up and down! Thank you so much to everyone that donates to this project! I have so much research to do on all these new and exciting seeds! I can't thank you enough! And thank you, Val, for coordinating this!

D Hov, got your stamp money and will be sending your pkg out this week

Newbe luv to have some seed!

Sorry, this thread is from Feb and newbie project is over for this season
