Welp, I guess I am not too terribly late for this, so...

I too, had to move, and starting all over. I did some WS for my very first time in 2011 with great success, and I had to leave them behind...I miss my 'babies'.

The seeds I have left are from 2010-2011, and the budget for new seeds is pretty tight. I would love some flowers to replicate the cottage garden I had at my old place, which I dearly miss. :(

Hi, I am brand new here. I just send you a self-addressed envelope with 5 stamps for packets of seeds?

I am gearing up to winter sow for the first time this year. Last year was the first year I really started gardening flowers and I'm looking forward to all the spring blooms I'll (hopefully) get!!

I was completely surprised with all the wonderful packets I received in the mail today. Thank you for your generosity and to all those who have participate with their donations. I was overwhelmed with the variety of packages I received and will start to do some research tonight as to where I should get started. I am so excited. Thank you Bakemom!

If you have anything left, I sure would like to have some of both. We just recently moved (December) to a new place that has room for a large garden and the only flowers that I have seen any sign of are a couple of Rose bushes.

Hi All, If you received "Lemon Drops" from me in your newbie seed pack, please be aware that these are Lemon Drop PEPPERS, not Tomatoes, as I thought they were, and might have put a tomato label on them so you'd know (joke's on me!) The donor tells me they are very prolific plants, and she got about 100 peppers from ONE plant Here's a little info: The lemon drop pepper, ají limon,[1] is a hot, citrus-like, lemon-flavored pepper which is a popular seasoning pepper in Peru, where it is known as kellu uchu. It is also known as 'hot lemon'. The bright yellow, crinkled, cone-shaped fruits are about 2.5 in long and 0.5 in wide, and mature from green to yellow about 100 days after transplanting (long season), they have fewer seeds than the average pepper, containing 15 on average. The plant is vine-like, typically reaching a height of about 3 ft. Like other C. baccatum species, these peppers were practically unknown in the West until the early 1990s, but are now gaining wide popularity. [2]

Sorry I missed this and posted on the other post. Please let me know if you have any flower seeds left, as I have moved as well and don't have anything except a couple of rose bushes. Thanks for your donations!

How are your seed supplies holding up? Send out a call for more, if you start to run low. I'm saving what I have to donate to local gardens, but don't truly care who uses them.

I thought I posted here but apparently I didn't! I am very interested in any seeds that may be offered, particularly flowers. I am new to winter sowing (this will be my first year), but I'm very excited! :)

If you have not heard from me, you don't have an email link. Everyone gets a 12 hour turaround or much less on emails and less than 24 turnaround on seeds.

Fix your membership and post again.

I had some success with vegetables from seed last year, but this year I'd really like to be able to reliably grow flowers too instead of buying them potted. I guess I'm not a true newbie, but someone who finally has gotten really serious about seed starting. I'd love some seeds if you have some left. Thanks!

Bakemom, You're the BEST! Many thanks to you and to those who donated seeds for your project. I received your package in yesterday's mail and was absolutely astonished by the number of packets that were sent and by the care that was taken in wrapping and labeling each and every one. This shows such a love of gardening and of your fellow gardeners. Incredible!!!

I am amazed at how many types of seed I received as well. I even got some blue flowers out of the deal!

Thanks so much, Bakemom...and all who donated. Although I am bitter about starting all over, I am excited about the fresh start!

Thanks to all the people who so generously shared seeds for this project, and to bakemom for organizing. I feel like it's Christmas morning as I'm opening and dreaming about all my little seed packets that just arrived! So grateful. :0)

I moved to my new place in June, and finally have lots of space to grow flowers galore and have a garden full of veggies. Only problem is....I dont think I have a green thumb...I have a tuff time keeping house plants alive. I am here on this site to learn as much as possible. My husband just bought me a portable type greenhouse...but I have no clue how it even works. Yikes. Also...I am interested in recieving these seeds you mentioned. Thank you. Kim
