So .. I was TRYING to look up blue edibles just to see what was out there.. and I came across a sight that says Spiderwort is an edible flower! Anybody ever tried to eat it? :) Just curious!

Dan if there are any BLUE squashes available.. I would LOVE those as well!! Specifically BABY Blue Hubbard, Queensland Blue or Blue KURI. I'm such a pain aren't I? :P

Happy last day of the weekend!
~Wendy

Wendy, you are by no means a pain, and I've always loved your enthusiasm! LOL! It's good to know what you want!

I'm up early today (wouldn't you know it? and on my day off too!) so I'm trying to catch up on keeping things organized. Here's a list of who I've received information from so far. If you're name isn't on this list, well, where's your info? LOL!!!

And the list is...

And, can you believe it? I've even got the list alphabetized! I believe I deserve another cup of coffee for that one, don't you? LOL!

Have a Fantastic Week Everyone!
-Dan

mmm... coffee sounds MIGHTY good right now....

*off to make some!

Hugs,
Wendy

"sipping tea"...looks like you have a good list so far, Dan.

Just made a cup, and added a piece of chocolate...mm, not bad!
Great job so far Dan with the seed swap! I'll hopefully be sending some blue seeds out this week. I don't have a lot though, my main colors are yellow, green, and purple ;). I'll see if I can get a hold of some blue squash. Those do look interesting.

...making another pot of peanut butter flavored coffee so it'll be ready when I come in from planting in the rain...

Caroteggs, with that color combo, you wouldn't be a fan of Mardi Gras / New Orleans would you?

Dan - I think I overspoke... I am going to have to back out only because I think I may have overextended myself this month. I am sorry and really wanted to participate but think I better sit this one out. Hope everyone has a great swap.

Tammy:-)

Tammy, I understand. I just sent you an e-mail. Keep dropping in if you get the chance.

-Dan

p.s. Linda, you're the best bush beater when it comes to looking for more people to join, want to put your stick to some good use?

Hi Dan,

Blue is my favorite color this is a great opportunity to start my blue corner.

Sign me up

Thanks

Margarita10

Margarita, you're in! I sent you an e-mail, requesting some info from you. -Dan

Please, when you send your seeds, do not use staples for anything such as sealing the seed packets, or attaching them to a card or sheet of paper when mailing. Please use tape instead.
Anna sent me an e-mail today, saying she's having some difficulties with staples (no mention of who used them. don't know, don't want to know) and that I should ask you all to not use them when you send in the blue seeds.
Hopefully, we'll get the bugs worked out of everything within the first few swaps.

Hope you all are having a wonderful evening...
-Dan

"getting out my beating stick"..okay I'll see what I can do!

I sent out some emails and beat a few bushes..we'll see who turns up..."making tea and baking more brownies"

Dan - I just found Black Pussy Willows. I have been wanting them for a while and bought a bundle of about 20 (they were not rooted but she said they root VERY easily). I thought you might want one for your halloween garden. I think they are beautiful. Just let me know if you would like a couple to root and I will mail them out for you.

Tammy

Tammy, I just sent you an e-mail about those willows. I've looked them up on the 'net, and they look fantastic! Thanks for thinking of me!

bumpty blue bump bump!

and Tammy/greenthumbgrow as our official lurker!

hope everyone is having a great weekend! I'll be mailing out my address to everyone a week from today...be ready! LOL

-Dan

Anna's got the purple seeds going into the mail tomorrow, so I'm going to go ahead and e-mail everyone with my address so they can get the blue seeds sent out. Anyone can still sign-up for this swap as long as they remember the deadline to get their seeds to me is May 15th. On the 16th, I'm going to start sorting through the seeds I have here and get them ready to send out to everyone participating. So, be looking for an e-mail from me. Please let me know if you don't receive it today. Thanks!
-Dan

Hi! I looked and have some 'blue' seeds to share, so I'd like to join in.
I'd like to request flowers.
Sending you an email Dan.

Wendy

Margarita10

Seeds are coming from all directions now! LOL! That's just awesome! I'm sorry I haven't been here much lately. I've been helping Bump, my cat, host his first swap over in the MNF group. I'm not sure, but I think that's a first for the Garden Web! This weekend I'll be back, and make out a list of who I've received seeds from.

Anna, I received your postage the day after getting your seeds. Just wanted to let you know...lol!

REMINDER::: For those of you who have yet to send your seeds, postal rates go up on May 11th, which is this coming Monday. If you want to save a few cents, mail your seeds out by Saturday evening, okay?

Everyone take care! I'm headed back into the garden. Dig, plant, dig, plant, dig, plant, water...

-Dan

Hey Dan.. I cleaned house earlier this week (thus can't find anything)... LOL So when I mailed the envy I sent an regular envy too w/ my return address on it instead of a mailing label cuz those are still MIA.. If you don't mind just taping it on the front of the bubble envy in lieu of a label please? Thanks!! :)

Hugs,
Wendy

Dan,
Just letting you know that my seeds were mailed today.

Penny

Hey and Good Morning Everyone! The deadline for getting your seeds here is fast approaching, so if you haven't sent them out yet, please do so in the next couple of day. My plan is to sort/re-distribute the seeds on the 17th, and mail out the seeds to everyone on the 18th, which is a week from today. Any seeds arriving on the 18th or afterwards will be returned to the sender.
Now, here's a list of who I've received seeds from, as of this past Saturday...

Everyone have a great weekend!
-Dan

Hey Guys!

Just giving you all a heads up! I will be posting the June Black Swap probably by tonight or tomorrow! So keep a look-out!

Christy

just an fyi. the last of the seeds have arrived, so tomorrow I will be sorting the seeds out while it rains on my day off, and will be mailing them out on Wednesday at the latest

GUESS WHAT!?!?! The seeds are sorted, the envelopes are sealed, and I'll be mailing them all out today at noon! There were some surprises waiting for me when I opened them all up this morning, and that was cool! For those of you who had requests, I was able to full most of them. If there was extra postage, the stamps are in your envelope.
I'd also like to take a moment and thank those of you who sent something for the host. You didn't have to do that, but it's greatly appreciated!
When you receive your envelopes, please post the contents here on this thread.
Thanks Everyone! It's been fun being your host for the Blue Seed Swap!
-Dan

Yeah! I'm so excited! I can hardly wait! :)
