  • 10 years ago

    coolbythecoast I received your package. Thanks

  • 10 years ago

    Actually I was wrong it wasn't coolbythecoast package I got. It was someone who had packs from last year with Cool's name on it.


    Now I have 2 questions.


    1) Who is Mr. Anderson?


    2) is it possible to say Mr. Anderson without thinking of Agent smith saying Mr. Anderson?



  • 10 years ago

    OK, now I have really sent my package, a little over qty 200 - 1" zip packs and the mailer weighed a little over 3.5 oz.

    This is my third year doing this. Thanks for carrying on the tradition.

    babaamilker and Shawn I received your packages.

  • 9 years ago

    Daniel - Regarding your 11/11 post, I am probably the Anderson you are looking for. I sent in quite a few packages that I could not use last year. Maybe you didn't get my email. I don't need anything in return.

    Sorry guys, the weather here this year was so dry my yard and garden turned to dust. I didn't get any harvest to speak of so no seeds got saved. I'll have to bow out of the seed swap this year unfortunately.

    Daniel thanked SoCarRob (Zone 7)
  • 9 years ago

    I have to say sorry as well. I will not attend this year.

    This year was also very poor for me. Our weather here was just too weird to get any good pods. I will recommend that those starting out do this and try to give back next year.

    Awesome job last year Daniel. Keep up the good work.

    Daniel thanked ronnyb123
  • 9 years ago

    I probably won't be available to post here for the next week but keep on sending in those packages.

  • 9 years ago

    My package went in the mail yesterday. Tracking #9500 1145 0106 6338 0422 48. It should be there by Tuesday. Also, I don't think I included a list, but I'm not picky. Whatever I get will be fine. Thanks!

  • 9 years ago

    Dan -- My package will be going to the PO today. Tracking number: 9400 1096 9993 9476 2872 33.

    Hi Daniel, we moved and very little of my seeds are viable after the transition. I'd like to participate and get a sample of whatever odd packets you have left over. Can I send say $10 or $15 and my return address for some packs of whatever not promised you can send?

  • 9 years ago

    Will you be posting a list of all the seeds you got so we can put together a "wish list" like last year?


  • 9 years ago

    Usatc- yes you can


    Fommy I will. Unfortunately I am forced to go out of town alot the past few weeks and didn't get a chance to compile it yet.

  • 9 years ago

    How are things progressing with this swap?


  • 9 years ago

    Sorry guys I have been out of town more often then not the last couple months. Should be better now. I will compiling the list and seeds should be shipping Jan 9th.

  • 9 years ago

    Darn I missed it lol

  • 9 years ago

    Ah nuts! Sadly I missed it this year also due to some computer issues BUT that just gives me another growing season to have a better selection to share for next year. *Crosses fingers that Daniel does this again*

  • 9 years ago

    Lexi, Spike2, sorry you missed the swap. However here's a 2nd chance! If you message me with your general interest (sweet, hot, very hot) I can send you a dozen or so different varieties as a late-Christmas gift. I would have messaged you but I did not see "Message (Me)" on your profile page. If you want to change this it is done through your profile page "Edit Profile" button, Advanced Settings -> Privacy Settings -> Who can message me -> select "Allow anyone to message me" (near bottom of page)

  • 9 years ago

    Sweet and Very Hot peppers are on my wishlist! Thanks I'll fix my options now

  • 9 years ago

    OOOH that is so very sweet of you!! I did go fix my options. Thank you for your kindness!


  • 9 years ago

    Hi everyone. I just joined. I was participating in the Reddit seed exchange and understand that is has been merged in with yours.

    Is it still happening? Do you have all the info you need to get seeds out to the Reddit refugees? I normally start my germination for the year many weeks ago and am getting pretty antsy.

  • 9 years ago

    HI Dan- Just checking in, how things coming along?


  • 9 years ago

    I was also wondering how that is coming along.

  • 9 years ago

    Has anyone heard from Daniel? It's been 10 days since packs were supposed to be returned. I'm starting to get worried.

  • 9 years ago

    I haven't. I'm a little concerned too as I sent $15 for a few leftover seed packets as I had moved and didn't have any to contribute yet.

  • 9 years ago

    Wow thats alot of money to send in.Especially when this is a no sell site only request for postage being aloud.

  • 9 years ago

    Nobody ever asked I just offered a book of stamps and a prepaid priority mail label for a few random packs of whatever was left after everyone's packets were put together.

  • 9 years ago

    Just give it some time. I dont think there will be a problem.

  • 9 years ago

    Sorry guys all packs have been put together and will be shipped tomorrow. I apologize again for the delay.


    usatc- I haven't cashed the check.

  • 9 years ago

    See, all is well. Good luck everyone. Have a great growing year.

  • 9 years ago

    *happy dance* Thanks, Dan!

  • 9 years ago

    They should make it just in time to get them started!

  • 9 years ago

    I received my seeds today. Thank you Daniel!

  • 9 years ago

    got my seeds today, thanks Dan! we all appreciate the work that you put in.


  • 9 years ago

    Just a question I haven't received mine yet?

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    I sent in 300 packs of pepper seeds and got only 57 back (after doubles and triples, I only received about 30 varieties). Very, very, very disappointing.

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    EricaBraun- you realize how ungrateful you sound? You probably got 1 of every variety. Did you expect Dan to magically invent 300 different variety of peppers? Lots of people sent in big piles of peppers. That is what this community does. We share what we have.

  • 9 years ago

    I received mine today

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    Hey Erica, Sorry you were disapointed. It was a much smaller turnout then last year and from what I read much much smaller then previous years.

    I am not sure even in those years anyone got near 300 varieties.

  • 9 years ago

    Still waiting here.

  • 9 years ago

    They came in today!! Thank you so much. Being new to all this I'm very pleased with so many different peppers.

  • 9 years ago

    Hey Daniel, I missed the swap this year but was sponsored last year. You did an amazing job and I can't even imagine the amount of work trying to keep stuff straight and mailed out. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us! hugs


    Daniel thanked Spike2 .

    Coolbythecoast wins for best packaging of seeds. A work of art:)

    last modified: 9 years ago

    I stumbled upon this post by accident but would love to be in the swap if there is going to be one for 2017.

  • 9 years ago

    Keep an eye on the forum in early winter (november time frame). Hopefully someone will organize another one. But it takes a lot of work.
