5 years ago

And the Swap for the month of October.......


This month of October "SIMPLY SEEDS and SUGAR is just that....nothing more, nothing less.


If you wish to participate this month, you need only do two things.


1. SEEDS..... Send your partner 3 packets of seeds that can be WINTER SOWED (flowers, tomatoes etc). When you sign up, please notate some seeds that you might be interested in receiving (ex tomatoes, rudebeckia, coneflower, gaillardia etc). Possibly, your partner will have them, possibly not.


2. SUGAR.....Send your partner something sweet...with sugar (candy, chocolate, gum etc). When you sign up, please notate sugary things that you enjoy to help your partner out (ex snickers, gum drops, juicy fruit gum etc). If you do not care for and/or can not have sugary items, notate something else simple (ex tea (bags), sugar free gum etc) that will make you happy.


That is it! SIMPLE...


*Deadline to sign up is Tuesday October 9.

*Partners announced Wednesday, October 10

*Please send out by Wednesday October 24.


I am out of town several days this month.....so if you do not hear from me for a few days, rest assured, I have not forgotten about you...LOL!


Happy day!!

    Jayeanne, You will love the red roselle. The flower looks like a hibiscus and you can make the most wonderful drink with the buds. The rudbeckia is a yellow one with dark center.

    Here is a link to a recipe. https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Roselle-Juice. On Baker Creek Seeds it also says that you can make jelly or pies with them. I have made the drink and it is really good and supposed to be relaxing and very healthy. Hope you enjoy and I think they will grow really good where you are. Take care, Amy

    Thank you very much Lisa!!


    I got on the stick after returning home last night. Lisa, your package is on its way. I had my nephew drop it off at the PO on his way to school this morning. He will give me the tracking #. I would think you should receive by Friday or Saturday.

    Annie,
    So glad you liked your package! I can't take credit for the little envelopes, though. I received a bunch of them from a GW swap a year or two ago, but can't for the life of me remember who made them! : P

    I have 3 kiddos. Aiden (13), Nyree (8), and Zephyr (2). They love helping out with the garden and planting seeds in our little basement greenhouse.

    Have a wonderful day everyone! Amy

    Hi Everyone I am sorry I just got a text from my daughter that I received my package from Susan. She opened it and sent a picture so I have goodies waiting for me when I get home. I received a bag of musketeers, some mixed spring bulbs, mentos candy, a I been boo-ed card, 2 types of lettuce seeds, coriander seeds and red Russian kale. And a scents melt. Thanks Susan for your generous pkg I can’t wait to get home to enjoy all of it.

    I am in Savannah Georgia on a Fam trip for my travel agency. It has been an awesome 2 weeks! I will post pics of the Boone Plantation Gardens when I get back home. It has been amazing. I retired from the hospital and took a part time job and so I plan to start traveling and thought this would be a neat way to go and learn Plus still make a living...lol!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!
