NEW: Re-Mix swap

16 years ago

hello

I wanted to do a swap that was done last year(Hot Coctails) only I wanted to call it Re-Mixes. Nettasura hosted it last year and I contacted her to see if she was going to do it (I don't want to step on anyones toes)but I have not heard back so I'm gonna try.

the idea is: we all end up with packets of seeds that are "mixed zinnias" or "unknown marigolds" what netta did last year was, we all sent in our mixed or unknown ID seeds and she would mix all the zinnias and then divy them up for everyone that wanted zinnias. so insted of 1 or 2 kinds of mixed zinnias you could have 8 or 10 or 20 all in one packet.

the rules are the same as any of my swaps

1. no seeds older than 2006

2. send info sheet with name,GW name, address, what

you sent in, what you want back,what you don't want back

3. postage for return ( stamps or money is fine)

a. if you want delivery conf. let me know and send extra

for it

4. send all seeds in bubble mailer

5. post when you send

I would like seeds in by jan 31st. I will get them back asap and post when they are on there way

I will post the mixes I have seeds for but if you want another mix just post it and if we have enough people with those seeds I will add another mix, if we don't have enough people with seeds for a mix it will be scratched. if we don't have enough poeple to sign-up the swap will be canceled, this one is only reilly good with lots of seeds to mix.

Re-mixes

amazing amaranthus - amaranthus, love-lies-bleeding

absolutly agastashe- hysop, koren mint, or similar

coy columbines -

cozzy coneflowers - echnachas, rudbeckias

colorfull coriopsis -

sugary sweet peas - any ornamental flowering peas,no vegies

shinning sunflowers - reg and mexican(tithonia)

simply salvias - salvias and sages

sweet snapdragons -

zowie zinnias -

like I said if anyone wants to add a re-mix just post it and if enough people have some I'll do it.

please post here, it'll go to my e-mail

thanks micyrey

I forgot what recipes I sent in, but here's a couple for tomatoes, peppers and one for a zucchini yeast bread. Panzanella This is an Italian bread salad. The Italians make it to use up stale bread. I make it to use up cherry tomatoes (I use halved cherry tomatoes). Ingredients Salad 1 1⁄2 pounds ripe tomatoes (about 3) 1 shallot, minced 4 cloves garlic, minced 1⁄3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon kosher salt 1 cup fresh basil leaves Panzanella croutons Freshly ground black pepper Panzanella Croutons ¼ cup unsalted butter 1 tablespoon minced garlic 6 cups cubed day-old bread (½-inch cubes) Salt and ground black pepper to taste 6 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan Core the tomatoes and, if large, cut them into chunks; if small, halve or quarter them (I slice the cherry tomatoes in half). Toss them gently with the shallot, garlic, oil, vinegar, 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper. Set aside until the tomatoes are very juicy, about 10 minutes. Add croutons and give a give toss. Tear the basil over the salad and toss gently. (The bread salad can be served now or set aside at room temperature for a couple of hours.) For the croutons, preheat oven to 375 degrees F and preheat a cookie sheet in it. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and cook until it foams. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat with the butter. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the bread to a baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with the cheese and toss again while warm to melt the cheese. Bake, stirring once or twice, until the croutons are crisp and lightly colored on the outside but still soft within, about 8 or 9 minutes. Let cool. Store in an airtight container. Tortellini Salad with Pine nuts This recipe is from Picnic! By Edith Stovel. This serves 8. Ingredients Salad 2 lbs fresh tortellini pasta (spinach, cheese or mushroom fillings work well) 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped 1 cup red bell pepper, chopped 1 cup green onion, chopped ½ cup pine nuts ½ cup chopped fresh basil ¼ cup chopped fresh dill ¼ cup chopped grated parmesan cheese Dressing ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 1 garlic clove, minced ¼ teaspoon salt Ground black pepper ¾ cup olive oil Follow directions for cooking tortellini. Drain and place in a large bowl. Mix in remaining salad ingredients. For dressing, combine vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk in oil until well combined. Pour dressing over tortellini and chill. Zucchini Bread This is a little more work than the quick version. In the heart of zucchini season, youll enjoy this bread fro a change. This recipe is adapted from a Taste of Home flyer. Makes 1 loaf. 1 tablespoon dry active yeast ½ cup warm water ⅓ cup warm milk ⅓ cup sugar 3 tablespoons butter, softened 2 tablespoons grated orange peel ½ teaspoon salt 1 ½ cups shredded zucchini ⅓ cup raisins ¾ cup whole wheat flour ¾ cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or a blend of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and mace) 1 ⅔ to 2 ⅓ cups bread flour In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Beat in the milk, sugar, butter, and orange peel. Mix well. Add the zucchini, raisins whole wheat floor, all-purpose flour, salt and pumpkin pie spice. Add enough bread flour to form a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface (5-10 minutes) until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 ½ hours). Punch down dough and shape into a loaf. Place into a greased 9x5x3 inch pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. Bake at 375 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes.

While we're waiting for more members to join I'd love some suggestions on how many items should be included in each package. I know we could just use our best judgement but it might be helpful for some of the newbies to have a guideline to go by. Also, if anyone wants to move the dates up and start earlier please chime in and say so. I just picked those dates so that those of us in the COLD zones who get plants could get them in the ground when they come. LMK, thanks!

Hi Joan, Yes, my package did arrive! I was so busy putting up Fall stuff that I wore myself out! I was going online later, and ended up watching the VP debate, and fell asleep! I did tape it though. ;) Your package was wonderful! I loved the baking crock/dish. Joan sent me a 'cooking' package, with the cutest dark blue winter 'snow' themed crock that can go in the oven up to 500*, plus freezer too! It came with a glass trivet, and a matching ornament! Joan also sent tomatoes, peppers! Also veggie seeds and a mini chopper, gardening mags! Oh, almost forgot- 2 plants, one Kale and one cabbage. Joan, THANKS so much for the neat box! I'm taking a break in few minutes and reading one of your magazines! This swap was so much fun! I loved my gardening/cooking package! Deb

Michelle,
I'm sorry. I've been preoccupied with stuff for the last 2 weeks. And the weather has been really crappy. It seems like we have to shovel snow every other day for a week. And tonight they are saying 12-18". Oh, and thank you for the seeds you sent in the theme swap! You mentioned the pipe vine swallowtail. We have some here in Elkhart County, IN. I saw the catepillars on Dutchmens pipe at a local public garden! They are cool, but that vine will take over!
