The Seed Exchange

Thanks to all

15 years ago

I just wanted to say thank you and I rec'd everythig to everone who sent me enve's or traded with me. I have been really terrible sending emails to thank everyone. My FIL has been in and out of the hospital and my son and I have been sick. I have been keeping a notebook wth everyone's info to send it, but am getting behind so I thought I would just say thank you. I will go to rate and review this weekend and post reviews, I ust have not been able to yet. Again, I have rec'd everything and want to say thank you and I am sorry I have been a little out of touch. Things here have been crazy emotionally (FIL has stg 4 lung cancer and is beginning to really get sick and symptomatic) and I just am stretched in too many directions. Last night I came home from school and could not even read more than a couple posts on here. I went to bed, slept until 8 and then went back to bed at 10 and just got up. I am getting slowly caught up, so just bear with me a little longer. Thanks everyone.

Hi Nichol,
As long as you let people know what is going on, you will find that GWers are wonderfully compassionate and a good source of encouragement. Take time to winter sow a container or two of your favorite flower and remember that these hectic sad times will not last forever. Hugs, Beth

Thanks Beth. I actually have been planting a little here and there. Not as much as I would like, but a little. just want people to know why I have not emailed and to try and stay in touch. Everyone here has been so super.

I didn't respond to this yesterday, not wanting to let it slide down the page without others getting a chance to see it. You are most welcome. At times it can be a little tough - you get the people who come on, ask a few questions that you take time & thought to answer, who then disappear forever - or until the next problem comes up. It's okay, that's the nature of a public forum, but sometimes you do get tired of answering the same question that had been discussed throughly last week, or so many times that we nagged Susie to put it up in the FAQs. On the other hand, it's wonderful to have someone who takes a lively interest in the forum and other's plants and questions as you have. That's how we make new friends, and turn a newbie into someone who has a knowledge beyond their own garden. I'm very glad to have been a part of that and happy you've gotten something good out of what has been offered.
