    After a brief delay I received my seeds. I had to go to the post office for postage due.....but had stamps returned in the package? I'm sure it was just due to package overload. :) My minor gripe is many of the packages were hard to read..... me being a newbie I have to work on deciphering the contents. But I do appreciate the time and effort it took. Thank you Kelly. Monica

    Hi everyone, Happy Belated Birthday Mary Ellen. Hope it was a good one. I received a wonderful box from Treasa. Thank you so much!!!! I love everything in the box. Here is what I received. Gardening gloves, three different garden figures, a really nice garden book, several different dahlia tubers, tuberose and a flower shaped floating candle. I love all of it and can't wait to plant those tubers. I have always admired dahlia's but have never actually had any. Can't wait to read my new garden book as well. What a great box! It has been raining like crazy here today in Texas but we can sure use the rain. I bought a weed popper gardening tool that is supposed to get the weeds out down to the root so I think I will try it out this weekend while the ground is still wet and see how it works. Have a good weekend everyone. Dianne

    Fotess Swap: April Showers Bring May Flowers

    Amy, again, thanks for the great fun this month. You did a super job. I went from needing 8 words two days ago to needing only two for Bingo. With all the words that have been posted today, someone has to be lucky and have Bingo. It's been pretty warm here this past week but I am not complaining. It is hard for me to garden in the heat so I wait til after dinner and spend a couple hours a night outside completed needed tasks. Got the tomato and cucumber plants in today. I still need to weed and clean out so many gardens but I am keeping myself from getting overwhelmed by doing one project each night. So far, so good. We could use some rain so the weeding could be a little easier. Margo

    Hello!

    I also received my nice seed package a few days back, and I truly loved everything! There were so many sweet peas, lupines, and nasturtiums, which are items that I don't ususally receive that many of in other group swaps. I've sown some already...very exciting to start!

    Happy Easter and Happy Spring!
    With big thanks from Jodi B. (threeshyacres)

    : )

  • 15 years ago

    Hope everyone had a great Easter!

    I received my package on Saturday, but was so busy with Easter activities that I haven't had a chance to post. There were several beans and tomatoes I've been hoping for, along with lots of red flowers from my wishlist, so I am very pleased.

    Great job, Connie!

    Bonnie

  • 15 years ago

    Thanks again Connie!

  • 15 years ago

    Sorry Wendy, yours was one of the 4 that were the last to get mailed.. I needed to verify the postage.. the good news is that you had a STUFFED envelope so hopefully the wait will be worth it. I would expect you should get this by Thursday.. if not then I would question the mailman and all his new seeds :) ha-ha

  • 15 years ago

    oh no that's FINE Connie!! lol I'm thrilled, I was just worried it was lost. Thanks for letting me know!
