Hi all, Great Lakes Box #2 is on its way to Ann Biggers in Michigan. Delivery confirmation # is--

0304 1560 0005 8052 9585

I took out the nicest gardening stake; thank you Kayems in IL. I replaced it with another garden stake and a nice sized notebook with a 3-D sunflower on the front. I also took out 15 packs of seeds(almost all veggies) and added 88 packs. The packs I put in were 4 packs of gourds and the rest were all flowers that should grow in our areas. Hope some of them make it all the way to the end.

For those of you still left on this robin, look for an envelope with your name on it from me. IF you had a seed wants list on your GW site, I put a few things in the envelope for you. I think there was maybe one person who did not have a "wants" list. I didn't know what to do for that person. I hope there is enough in the robin for that person to pick from.

This was another fun robin, Sue. Thanks, Mellen

Well, I just have to pipe in...As the boxes are getting closer to me. I have such SPRING FEVER that I just can't wait to receive the boxes. HURRY. Glad they are getting closer!

Looking forward to receiving the boxes and just wanted to let everyone know this is the best robin I have been in. Thanks for including me - and Sue thanks for putting it together.
Best wishes and Happy easter to all!

They weather was so great here last weekend. We went sledding in our back yard without our coats. How cool is that?. And dyed eggs on the deck. Ya gotta love Michigan in the Spring.

Round Robin Box #2 is on its way to lisam627. Confirmation #03041560000580529691. I repacked the robin in a new box, put in a flower pot and three clumps of Dahlias, labeled as to cultivar. There are 200 packets of seeds in the box. Nice variety, too
Thanks Sue.

Marsha

then I will send april a heads up :)))

as for box 1 it should be landing at mellens by
this weekend & then homeward bound by next week .

thank you all for a great robin .

sue

RR#2 Package arrived in Negley, Ohio this morning. Since the weather has warmed up a bit, I thought that I would chance sending the dahlia tubers. Hope they arrive safely.

It sounds as though RR#1 is on track again.

While I was doing the poop patrol yesterday I heard the Red Winged Blackbirds "singing". Spring is on its way in da U.P. While scooping is not the most pleasant job, it sure was nice to be outside.

Marsha

I'm watching out my window now for the mailman! Hope he gets here soon!!! Marsha, I will let you know how the tubers fare. I think they will be fine as it is about 45 degrees here, albeit dreadfully wet. At least it is not snowing! I'll post when I receive the box. - Lisa

The mailman hand delivered the box to me just before the snow started! The temperature dropped 11 degrees and my yard is all white...again.... It will melt tomorrow and warm up on Monday, so the tubers will be fine when I mail the box out then!! Marsha, I am going to take one...I love Dahlia's!!! Thanks for including them. It looks like a wonderful box stuffed full of seeds. Mellen...thanks so much for the seeds you included for me..that was really sweet of you and I appreciate your thoughtfulness!!!! My Dad was visiting today and was ecstatic when he saw my Rat Tail Radish seeds...as they are hard to come by. They have the most delicious edible pods...for those of you who haven't tried them! Anyway...enough rambling here...I will post the delivery confirmation number after I've mailed her out! Get ready April! Lisa

Yahoo, box #1 was delivered to our door by the postman today. It was too big for our mailbox.There were some packets of store purchased seeds right on the top that are quite interesting plus some nice gifts inside. The plastic box of seeds is VERY full. This box will be finally "going home" on Monday. More details later. Mellen P.S. You are very welcome for the rat tail radish seeds. I had never heard of them before. I received them in a trade. But since they included the pods--which really did look like the tail of a mouse or rat--they must be the real thing. Enjoy!!!

The Robin flew off this morning to April with 220 packs of seeds and some nice gifts! The delivery confirmation number is:

0103 8555 7494 8492 3854

I took the pretty flower pot from the box and planted Marsha's tuber in it. I added a few surprises of my own! Thanks again Sue for hosting this Robin...I always enjoy participating in your Robins! - Lisa

thanks lisa hope you enjoyed playing as much as I enjoyed haven you :))) thank you for posting, & love to have you in any of my robins .

happy gardening
sue

Sue and everyone who has been involved in the robin--she is now headed on her final flight home. Yes, I think maybe she is going to make it! I sent her priority mail today(Monday), and her delivery confirmation number is--

0304 0370 0001 6666 1618

So Sue, be watching for her. I did not take out any seed packs. The plastic box is very full. Sue, I did put in 2 gifts for you, and they are marked as such. Thank you for organizing such a great and fun robin. Mellen

Great Lake ROBIN # 1 is home thank you all for playing ,

I just checked with the DC# but dose not have the
update yet.

myohhmy :)))

well happy gardening to all .

sue

Hello Everyone!

The robin flew in safe and sound! Thank you Lisa and Mellen for the seeds, I will probably get some of them going this weekend.

I have gone through the box (a nice healthy one) and was hoping to get it back out today, but my house is overflowing with kids so wasn't able to get to the PO. It will be out for sure to myohmy on Monday and I will post a confirm # then.

Hope everyone has a great weekend - we are expecting sunny 70's!

April

I am so looking forward to receiving it! Thanks for passing it on a second time, just in time for spring. Perfect! Will post when I receive it and when i get it sent out again...

Hello Everyone!

Sorry I forgot to post the confirm # when I sent out the robin on Monday. It is 0304 1560 0005 6946 5637

Myohhmy- when the box came to me it was a flat rate box and I just repacked everything and sent it back out but unless you add something fairly heavy you might want to put everything into a different box. They made me pay flat rate even though regular priority would have been cheaper (I didn't feel like taking it apart and repacking it) Have fun, its a chubby robin!

Thanks Sue for starting it- it's been fun!

April

WELL BOX 2 SHOULD LAND TODAY AT MYOHHMY'S & THEN IT WILL
HEAD FOR HOME :))
THEN AS SOON AS I GET THE FRIENDSHIP BOX BACK i SHOULD HAVE ABOUT 400 PKS OF SEEDS TO SHARE .
AS SOON AS ALL IS HOME I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW .

SUE

Looks as if Myohhmy has the box and must have gotten lost in it :)))

love to hear what you found in your robin :)))

happy Gardening
sue

I did get lost in it! It was huge! about 200 packets! I will get it out in the mail today or Wends. Today if I hear from you sue per our emails....

Thanks for including me in this it was LOTS of fun. I have never tried hardly any types of annuals before - but I have a garden walk scheduled and hope they really brighten up my yard. I will be trying lots of them this year thanks to your help. Thanks for showing me the way to affordable gardening. I am a new seed addict now. Have 9 flats going now and I ran out of room, but not seeds. Trying to talk hubby into building me a coldframe for my birthday next month so I can start more seeds.

thanks again

Hi all :))
