Swappers: To all of you who joined my swaps. IÂm very sorry that IÂve been ill and havenÂt felt well enough to finish these up. IÂm sure you were all anxious to get your seeds back to get them planted and growing or trade what you didnÂt want from the swap seeds. I know most of you included a list of what you sent in for the swap, a few of you didnÂt. Most marked the seeds packets they sent in, others didnÂt which has made it impossible to tell how many seeds to send back to you. I have e-mailed those two people and asked if they remember how many seeds packets they sent in. One will not answer me; the other person isnÂt sure. I have e-mailed one many times trying to get an answer. I hope they arenÂt angry with me for being ill. At the time I started these swaps I was feeling pretty good and thought, I could handle them, unfortunately that hasnÂt been the case. Another problem was since some of these swaps only had two-five people in them and some sent 15 packs while others sent 40 packs; some no repeats, some more than 4 of each, it was hard to do fair trading. Lesson learned from these swaps is if you donÂt have at least 15 people in a swap someoneÂs going to be disappointed. IÂve been sick about the whole thing. IÂm very sorry if some of you are unhappy with the seeds you received. I wish IÂd never have sent out any of the swaps and put all the seeds back into the envelopes and paid the postage to send them right back to everyone. Anyway; I hope no one gets angry about the seeds they get in the tree, vine or rare seed swap. I didnÂt have a lot to work with. I wouldnÂt blame any of you if you never joined another swap of mine. If anyone feels they have been shorted (PLEASE) contact me or post on the RR swap threads for all to see, instead of holding a grudge or talking behind my back. IÂm swapping the tree seeds tonight and getting them the heck out of here ....IÂm putting the last of the rare seed swap in the mail tomorrow too. I finished the vine swap a few weeks ago. Only a few participants e-mail they were happy and or they received the seeds. I hope this letter finds you all in good health and may all the seeds you plant grow well for you. A few people have e-mailed and asked why they havenÂt received their seeds back yet. I explained that IÂd been very ill, I guess to some seeds are more important that a persons health. Some guess people have never been sick with anything but the flu, someday you might understand what IÂm going through mentally and physically. I want to send a special thanks to my good friends who e-mail me to see how IÂm doing; bless you for understanding. My health is not in my hands itÂs something IÂm unable to change right now. Happy Gardening! Sincerely, Jody

ok, this is what i've found, i'm going thru the seeds, OMGAWD!!!!! i'm separtating them into vege's/fruits/spices and flowers/grasses/plants and the pumpkins i've found are just simply amazing, so carol, i have no idea what in the world you want, BUT we have doubles of some, so they will be on their way after i get more stamps if i run out, LOL i did find some jack b little, and some white ones, they're so cute!!

Sorry I haven't replied to the email yet. For some reason, I thought the deadline was June 21, so I was thinking I was too late. I'll need to check my stash and see if I have anything weird, odd, or unusual enough to participate. Hey Deb, did you get any hail over your way? My plot at the community garden got hit pretty hard, but only minor damage to the garden here at the house. The plants that escaped the hail actually look really good today. It always amazes me how much better the plants look after a rain. All the irrigation in the world doesn't make them as happy as a good rain. Bonnie

Carly, on this post you had not listed me (see below). So I hope you did not forget me. I sent you 88 packets. And I have not gotten anything in the mail as of today. I know you may have just mailed. PLMK. Thank you, mkruby7 RE: UPDATE: 2nd annual Named/Rare/Unusual Seed swap!! Posted by: jcpyburn z7b (My Page) on Wed, Nov 2, 05 at 15:38 Hello everyone, Sorry for the delay in posting! I had every intention of posting an update yesterday and I just didn't get around to it! I have been away from my computer over the weekend and monday due to some personal situations so I haven't really been able to post. I have received packages from these people: Julie\_MN Scouttiegirl Michelle S in wisconsin(not sure of GW name haven't looked it up yet!) eln2002meyer Tonysarver esiuol garden\_witch Raney10 Patricia W. in california (See above note!) Karen B from indiana barbamaman Margaret6a Patty b in ohio (see above) Romando Fgilles Toni E in california (SA) UncleWindy Whew ok so far that is 17 so far not counting the mail today which has not come yet. I may have listed your GW name as being received before and may only have your name and state listed above but I am going through and visually checking envelopes and some don't have their GW name in them and I don't have my list to match it up handy. I will post if I can't figure out someone's Gw name. I will be starting to work on these on Friday and I hope to get them out by the middle of next week. I will continue to update on whose seeds I have recieved daily so that everyone knows. If your seeds are on the way and are going to be cutting it close please let me know at least that they are on the way. ALL SEEDS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN MAILED OUT TO GET HERE ON TIME!! Unless of course you want to send them priority but that is up to you! Thanks again for all the participation! There are some great seeds in here and I think everyone will be happy! Thanks Carly
