UPDATE: Acres Edible seed swap

15 years ago

Howdee

After going through over 1400 packages of seeds that were sent in. That's not counting the pile I contributed. The acres edible seed swap will be shipped out headed to all who sent in. I will go to the post office the 19th and send them. (Monday is a holiday). This swap was a great fun to put on and I hope everyone will be please of what they receive. I did my best with wish lists. I wish some of you would of sent in bigger mailers. Rather hard shoving 70 packages of seed into the smallest mailer ever. Hahaha Some of you only received what the mailer would hold and I am sorry for that. I wont say anything about the 11 that did not participate 37 people out of 48 is not bad. One did email me about it though so that's good :-)

I had great fun with this swap as I have for the last 6 years putting on this acres swap. I will surely post another swap of this nature next time this year.

Any questions please ask

Acres :-)

Note: I have a new swap with only tomatoes and peppers listed in this forum.

Acres, thank you so much! Having just finished hosting a big swap, I know the work involved. I am psyched - I'm moving to a new place with a longer growing season, so I'm looking forward to growing lots of edibles. I'm sure I'll be thrilled when my package arrives.

Howdee all Of course I'm going to continue the Acres Edible swap unless the economy gets soo bad I cant afford the extra seeds, tape postage or whatever else it takes to put on this swap each year. I believe I was just hurt a little yesterday and went over and posted my feelings. Bad bad Acres.. Every one in this swap has been great. I can not get upset and one person for speaking his or her feelings. I would probably feel bad if they did not speak there mind. No one will ever be banned from my swaps. I , myself will just add more guidelines to my swaps so every one is clear that swaps are chance and you may or may not get what you wish for. I also have addressed some other issues above in the main post. I hate rules but they seem to help. Carolynp - not a 50 cent an hour pay cut a hour 5 dollar an hour pay cut lol going to be ruff but we always make it because hubby and I have each other and great friends and gardening. Knot-worked-acres - tomato in red bag was sent in unmarked and listed as such. Might be fun to see what ya get. Sandysgardens- Are you going to be a mom soon? That is awesome. I just have my 4 legged kids. (dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens) Drippy - Nope not a middle child more like a single child I have not talked to my only sibling my brother in what 2 years. Not my choice. I will look forward to the garden pics when ever you choose to share them. My garden pics are on MySpace check them out the link on my profile on this site. Happy sorting and happy gardening I'm off to enjoy the sunshine Acres

Howdee there Awesome time off with the hubby. We had a lovely well deserved vacation on the coast. My mom has a house in Crescent city and she is always wanted me to come and use it but hubby and I just love Gold beach. I am so happy all the mailers are getting back home and with such speed. I only host these two swaps and they are more fun each year. With this being the 10th year for the Acres Edible swap I really wanted it to be out standing. In past years there has been trivia and awards and such fun. Perhaps next year :) Now its off to sort seeds from my seed orders for my garden season. I will start my tomatoes and peppers, eggplant etc. next month. I grow about 200 extra plants each year and sell them locally. With the 100 assorted plants I start each year for my self for my garden it sure becomes a jungle in the green house. Happy gardening Acres

Acres, I am so new to all of this that I can't honestly say I know much about how much work it is to hold a swap like this... but reading the posts gives me a small idea of how much effort you put in to this.
THANK YOU!!! I am with ourhappyhome doing a little 'seed dance'.. can't wait to see that I get :)
Thanks to everyone who sent in seeds and happy sowing and growing.

I tried posting this earlier, but it didn't go through or ended somewhere it wasn't supposed to. Thank you so much. Thank you Tracy and everyone who participated. I got some really neat seeds. I've looked them all up, and will start some of them tonight. :O). - Jonathan.

No sign of my seeds. Sure hope I added enough postage.

Every one of my latest trades have arrived later than expected. Its really beginning to get to me. I received seeds yesterday from a trade mailed on Feb 11. The stamp was dated Feb 11! What's going on?

Sure hope my package arrives soon.

so happy you all are getting your seeds in a timely matter. This one was a fun one to put on. I will be making it a requirement that you all send in larger mailers so there are less extras. Its good for the nebies tho. I put up a post for newbies and have Three huge mailers ready to go out. I will have more later too
