    Hi again if you can't them out till Tuesday no big deal I think the post office is closed Monday I didn't think about that one.Just e-mail mail if any of you are going to be later than that Patty

    Hello ladies I did make it to the post office before it closed today. But as I finally looked at Patty's mailing address I realized I could have just run them down to her as she lives 20 min from me. :)Small world. Any who I did try and get a little something for everyone but for the pros not much luck. I did get 110-115 packs though and for only my second season not too bad. Thanks all!

    Got 'em! I am absolutely delighted with the seeds I received this year-things I had on my list that I was sure no one would have to share were in that envelope. I have gone through them twice and will go back through them again after dinner. I am so happy to have all of the lovely peach colored flowers folks sent me. I have visions of a peach and blue garden and it is really coming together now. I also loved receiving all of the various Sweet Peas. I usually just grow a couple of varieties, but this year I will have them everywhere! I love it! Thanks to everyone who sent in their precious seeds! And Miss Patty, you did an incredible job! I am very appreciative. Alana

    My big, fat envelope arrived today, and it is better than Christmas! I was in the middle of cooking when DH brought it in from the mailbox, and he wanted to open it. I let him look first on the condition he would not read me the info on each packet as he looked. I thank all of you who sent your special seeds for me and filled so many of my wishes. And a special THANKS to you Patty for making this the best swap ever! Now if I could just ditch everything else and spend a week or so in the greenhouse planting seeds. Hmmmm Patricia

    Hi, everyone! Mmmm, apple cider doghnuts. I've only had those once, and we ate the whole bag within 15 minutes of leaving the orchard. They're scrumptious! Ollierose, I try to know the botanical names for the plants I grow, (or at least list them with it) so I only look up botanical names that seem really familiar, because those may be seeds I can send in and I'm just not making the right mental connection. If I don't recognize it at all, it's not something I can send in. If you want to look things up, the fastest way I've found is 1. have the google toolbar 2. type the Latin and the word plantfiles 3. read all about it. That's also my first step in deciding if I want a plant, but I always look them up on a few sites, because they all have inaccuracies sometimes. I like to increase my chances for trades by making it easy for the trader to know that I have what they want, or they have what I want, by using both common names and latin. Except I'm sure I've neglected to do that completely :) It's another cold, grey day, and I have so much garden cleanup to do, still perennials to get in the ground, plus a couple hundred bulbs--but all I want to do is sit in front of the woodstove with my tiny kitten!

    Hello patty and all gardeners,
    My fat pack of 85 or so seeds went out today.

    I am very excited for the return package, and I was happy to share with you all! : )

    Happy Gardening,

    Well, I got my big fat package ready to be picked up by my mail carrier today. I lost count after 156 seed packs but there could be close to 200. It's going by priority mail and the confirmation # is 0103 8555 7490 0266 3644.
    We are snowed in today so I printed the postage online.
    I couldn't find my postal scales so I had to do an educated guess. I think it's ok, but if not please let me know and I'll send more postage. I didn't know what else to do and the weather isn't suppose to improve much in the next few days so I didn't want my package to be even later.

    This has been so much fun. Thank you Patty for hosting this swap. Can't wait to see what you all send me. Hope you are all pleased with what I sent. I had a lot of some of your wants but there were a few that I didn't have any for.

    Thanks,

    Joy (pnwjoy)

    Patty-
    I got my package in the mail today as well!!
    Confirmation# on the seed package is:
    03061070000578998782
    Please let me know when it gets to you. Also... I sent an email to you, with more info on my package etc.

    To all the swappers:
    I was able to share of lot of seeds with most of you (unfortunately not all). Since most were from my personal stash, I wasn't able to include lots in each packet. I hope you enjoy them, and I can't wait to hear about how they grow!
    Goodluck and Happy New Year to all!!!

    Thanks Debbie. I'd give you our snow if I could. :-)
    This much snow isn't common around here so we are pretty much crippled by it. It's pretty though.

    Patty,My seeds went out yesterday.We are supposed to get hit by an ice storm tonight but I am glad.I ws and have been waiting for cold weather to start,now I can..lol
    Thank You so much for hosting this for us.I didn't have as much as I wanted to send due to not labeling my plants last yr,but I am learning how important it is to know the name of the seeds.Next Yr.will be better.

    Patty, please don't drive yourself too hard! We're all excited about getting the seeds, but we don't want anybody grabbing you and sending you off to the loony bin. Try to tone down the pace until you're just the "eccentric seed lady" and I think everything will be good.

    Hi all I am finished filling I starting putting in the bonus packs as I tape them up and put the postage on I didn't realize how long it takes to get 30 envelopes ready to be mailed the ones who sent delivery confirmation have to go to the post office so that will have to wait till Monday I am going to take them all there to be mailed I have a mailbox on my corner but temperatures are going below 0 I was afraid to just drop them in my luck the mailman wouldn't have picked them up BRRRRR poor seeds. I put the extras in little ziplocs I sent the extras packs I wouldn't use also in with the bonus seeds. I think you all will be pleased I wish all of the seeds I send could have been from your want lists but we had to eat the seeds sent for the 3 girls who didn't send and most of those were pretty common seeds I tried to give you the seeds you didn't ask for as close to your wants as possible. I can't post until late Monday because I have class but I will .THANKS GIRLS Patty

    Patty - thanks for the update. Just the thought of my seeds coming helps warm me up as I think of all the blooms that will be here this summer and beyond. Woke up on Sat to 27 below (not counting windchill) and this morning to 22 below. Just a week ago we were in the low 40's.

    Thanks again for all your work Patty and to all who participated.

    Patty,

    Thank you so much for your hard work and hosting this RR. I have to tell you, the anticipation has been better than when I was a kid waiting for Santa Clause! I can't wait! Thanks again.
