Angela, thanks so much for the great information. I know it'll be helpful. I appreciate all your research.

Tracy, I'll be keeping an eye out for your package. 1000 tomato seeds! Wow! Wow! Wow! Are your going to have anything left for your own swaps?

Becky

Keep those seeds coming!

There's still time for people to join!

I can't believe this... my dad just told me he's getting married on Feb. 14th! That's got to be one of the shortest engagements ever! I am going to pack up what I can today and tomorrow, so I can get them off to you... I will have more later to share when things aren't so hectic, but I'll have to send those directly in to Need4Seed. I hope that some of these will be useful to the participants of this swap and to the other homes they end up in!

Okay... off to pack up what I can and get it ready for monday's mail...

Blessings,
Angela

Angela,

Big CONGRATULATIONS to your Dad!!! Things will be hectic the next few weeks but in a good kind of way.

Abby, I received your seeds today!

Congratulations to you and your Father Angela!! What a wonderful way to start the New Year!!

Thank you!!! He picked an absolutely wonderful woman that the grandkids (my kids) and me love. Sadly, my stepmom he was married to for well over 30 years passed away last Christmas (yes, Christmas Day).... So, this is a bit sudden, but he deserved to be happy and not be alone... She's wonderful, and I can't wait to help with the wedding! I best hurry and get all my other commitments done so I can fully focus! I just have this and the Wow swap left, so that will help a lot... I just couldn't drop out altogether... these are too much fun and this one is helping a lot of families...

Blessings,
Angela

Well, I'm finally done packing seeds. I packed them in the increments recommended by Need4Seed in case they go unspoken for. It amazed me that I ended up with a little bit more than 100 packs! I guess I didn't go quite as easy on this swap as I thought I would. LOL

My husband is dropping the package off at the post office when he runs errands tomorrow afternoon for work. You should have it by thursday or so.

Blessings,
Angela

Great Angela! I'll be looking for them.

seeds went out today clay_lady

Seeds taken to the post office about an hour ago. :]
Terri

Clay Lady & Terri,

I'll keep an eye out for your seeds. No seeds came in the mail today.
:(

must be the day to not get seed mailers in the mail. I did not get any for my swap either today :(

A watched mailbox never boils. I waited nearly a month longer than most for one swap's return, and probably three months for the other end of one recent trade (I expected a delay). They both showed up two days ago, the first day I stopped thinking about them. :]

I received Kamil's seeds today. Kamil, you didn't submit a wish list. Should I just use your GW want list?

I received seeds from Angela today. Here's an update.

I have not heard anything from Austinnhanasmom / Deb or Grovespirit / Iris. I know Iris had some health issues before Christmas. I hope you're ok, Iris. I know the ice storms hit some states hard. Hope everyone is ok.

Remember I like any weird veggies!

Kamil

I received seeds today from Nancy & Terri. Thanks so much! We have a great selection of seeds. I still have a few people that should be sending seeds. I plan on doing a little more sorting this weekend. I'm hoping by the middle of next week to start posting the "Going Once, Going Twice," for unclaimed seeds.

Enjoy the Superbowl!

Yay! Thanks for the update, Becky - it's always a relief to me to know the seeds I sent got there safely. :]

BTW, sorry for taking down my list... I did put up a link back on my page to my original want list since I'm still trying to update my list.

Blessings,
Angela

mailed my seeds yesterday - sorry for the delay -

Deb. Thanks for letting me know.

Clay Lady, I haven't received your seeds yet. I hope they're not stuck in the ice storm mess in the mid west. I'll keep an eye out for them.

sorry, we are buried but my seeds did go out. The dog teams have been going past the house-- so I know that some things are moving. We've had a whole week of zukky weather and alot of no school.Thanks for the note. clay_lady

"dog teams" Rofl! It's been a tough winter and it's half way done. Our snow storm that we were suppose to get yesterday turned out to be a dud (thank goodness!) Instead of the 4-6 inches of snow, we had a sunny day! Boy, did the weathermen screw that up! We're suppose to get another storm tonight and one for Wednesday too. Come on spring!

Back to the swap! Clay Lady, if your seeds don't come this week, would it be ok for me to pull a selection of seeds for you? I saw on your trade list that you like heirlooms. Would you like to send me an email of your wish list?

Here's an update.

I've heard from everyone except Grovespirit / Iris. I'm hopeful she will turn in seeds. I know she had health issues before Christmas, but saw she just submitted seeds to another swap. I think I've at least heard from everyone else and its a matter of our mail system.

I've been very happy with the wonderful selection of seeds people have submitted. Later this week you'll see an:
"UPDATE: IE Clean Out: Going Once, Going Twice" if the whole title fits! This is where I'll post the list of unclaimed seeds. You can claim as many as you like, but it will be first come, first serve. Fortunately, there are doubles of quite a few seeds.

I received seeds today from Clay Lady. Hurray! I also received seeds today from Deb. Pam emailed me last week and the seeds are on their way.

Pam, Your seeds came in today's mail too! We'll give Grovespirit another couple days.

I cant believe how exciting this is getting...everyday I come to this thread to see whose seeds are in!! And we are almost there...I cannot wait to see what happens in the 'going once going twice' thread LOL!!

I KNOW! I keep waiting for the going once going twice. I can see it now. We are all going to end up with more than we Cleaned Out. LOL! Where is that 12 step program?
Nancy

Grovespirit had to drop out of the swap. I'll go through people's wish lists again tomorrow. Then I'll start posting the Going Once, Going twice as an update on Wednesday. Glad people are excited!

Nancy, we do not offer 12 steps to clean up... ROFL We only offer the ability to enable others with the like addiction! HAHAHA! :D

I can't wait to see what goodies are on the list. This is so exciting. I get up each day knowing I'm a day closer to having my needs fulfilled! hehehe ;D

Becky, I want to say thanks for hosting this. It was a great idea and for such a wonderful cause too. THANKS!!! BTW, my envie should be there in a few days. I totally forgot to send it like I had planned.

Dang, the suspense is killing me! I wonder if husband would mind postponing 25th anniversary plans one day so I can camp out at the computer for that GOGT list! And my Ctrl and R buttons (reload) are going to be completely blank before this is over! ;]

ROFL, I'm thinking that might cause some pent up hostility! HAHA Hey, but I would still ask. ROFLMBO!!!

Roflol, ROLF!!! Now I have to clean the coffee off the monitor!

Kathy, that's fine.

Hello everyone!

Tomorrow will start the "Going Once, Going Twice." I've broken them down into 7 catagories. Wherever possible I tried to give the dates on the seeds and the number of trades left. Here are the catagories:

1. Beans, Cowpeas, Peas, Okra & Corn
2. Herbs & Spices
3. Melons, Cucumbers, Squashes, Pumpkins & Gourds
4. Peppers, Eggplants and Tomatillo
5. Root Vegetables
6. Tomatoes
7 Other Vegetables

Anyone in the swap is welcome to claim the seeds. It will be first come first serve. Hope you have fun!

Pssssst! Psssssssst! Becky! Becccccckkkkkkyyy! Beccckkkaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!

Heyyyyyy, Becky, girlfriend, pal-o-mine, Becky McBeck-Beck, Beckmeister! Sooooooo.... what time d'you think you might be, y'know, posting this little ol' list, hmmmmmm? Maybe midnight a la Woot? Or will it be middle of the morning like some of those crazy eBay sellers who never sleep?

It's okay to say, it's just you and me.... ;]

You seed addicts sure are funny!.... Oh, I mean us seed acticts... hee hee

Becky, I am thinking we're probably gonna ask for some things that might have been put aside for us because it was on our wants already, huh? I just thought I'd throw that out there as we don't know what was picked out for us already! LOL

Oh, I can tell this is going to be fun, fun stuff! hee hee

Blessings,
Angela

Okay, now I don't feel so bad... Angela's stalking the thread too. I *thought* I felt my Sniper Sense tingling! lol ;]

Becky, You are teasing us. Isn't it Wednesday where you are??? Please make it a decent hour for us West Coast people. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nancy

Watching, and waiting..... waiting, and watching....

lol, I'm starting to feel like a creeper.

Poor Becky. If we were all together IRL, I suspect she'd resort to throwing them in the room, then running away screaming.

I'll stop now. :]

ROFL!!! You about made my heart stop with that one! Seeds thrown up in the air and coming down all around us... oh, am I dreaming??? Oh, grief! I sure am! hee hee

Well, sorry to upset any late night lurkers, but Becky is a morning gal usually on the thread.... NOT that I was checking how early she posts or anything... hahahahaha

Blessings,
Angela

Oh, you are *good* angelady... I had not even considered researching Becky's posting patterns to determine when the list might be posted... verrrrrrry resourceful! :]

Well, that pretty much sinks my night-owl boat! lol, and it truly is a good thing, too, as my whole reason for participating in these bigger swaps is to reduce inventory, not replace it. :]

I know some of those GOGT seeds will find great homes with the swappers on this thread, and whatever is left will come in handy at N4S. Have fun everybody!

Hope you have fun, too, Becky, and hope my "eyes" didn't scare you too... would not like to hear you had to mop up any other messes. =:-0

(I'm so sorry, I truly will stop now!)

;]

Are you ready? The lists of unclaimed seeds are up. There are a total of 7 lists. I'll give people through Saturday (Feb 7th) to go through the lists. Sunday, I'll post a "Last Call" of any unclaimed seeds. It'll be your last chance to claim any seeds. I'll plan to get your seeds back in the mail to you a week from today. Hope you have fun!

Here's a link to the lists!

ROFL! Terri and Angela, I was so concerned about getting those lists up that I didn't read your posts until after I posted. I think the term "seed stalkers" can be used here! LOL! The DH said, "Hmm, someone's got it worse than you," in reference to seed collecting!

ROFL!!! That was the funniest stuff!!

Jeepers creepers where'd ya get those peepers... HAHAHA!

I love this place...and like my kids always used to say....

The Potatoes have Eyes...The Corn has Ears ....and Celery Stalks....watch your back in the garden!!!

I guess that is pretty fitting here with all of you/us Seed Creepers!!LMBO!!!

lol at y'all.... and sunnyk, I'd never heard celery part before - that's a hoot!

Becky, by any chance did you receive my return shipping yet?

Hi Kathy,

I haven't received it yet. I'll let you know when it comes. I seem to remember the mail taking a long time to get to and from Florida to New York.

K, thanks Becky. I forgot about it taking longer. lol :D
