UPDATE: Acres Edible Swap # 11

12 years ago

Howdee there

Here we are again at the end of my yearly swap. So glad to have the 21 who participated. This was a trying swap for me with my surgery recovery not as quick as I thought and my almost two lovely weeks of jury duty. I made it though. I really truly hope everyone will be happy with what I sent back. I do try my best with what I am sent and what I contribute . :) I hope some of you understand the package count my be down from what you sent due to the size of mailer you sent. I know by hand or have looked up everything sent so if any one has any questions please email me. I am going to be away till Tuesday Hubby has decided we both need a vacation so we are off :)

You are more than welcome to email me or post here when you receive your mailer.

Happy Gardening

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

I received my package today and it's incredible! There are at least 4-5 varieties from my most-wanted list (the one I keep in my head and that changes every week) and probably a few more that would've made my list if I'd known about them. Thank you for hosting, purpleacres. You did a great job!

My bad! It was a different swap from a different site I received. There was no indication of which swap it was or where it came from. The To and From had my address and no note inside. Thought it was this one. Oops! I did get yours a few days later and it was great! Thanks for the great variety. Many things I've wanted to try. Looking forward to doing this swap next year!
