hello
sorry to be gone a wile, I have been up to my ears in seeds and covered in poison oak. last friday I got up and my eyes were mostly swollen shut, I could see just enough to get the boys dressed, in the truck and drive to the urgent care. after a shot in the.... well you know where. and 4 days of steroids I'm not itching so much and the swelling has gone down. the funny thing is I don't rember touching it I was just pulling out wild grape vines at the in laws house. oh well so much for my problems.

it's funny we have tones of bunnies and they never touch the garden, the biggest problem I have is running in to the nests of baby bunnies when I'm planting in the spring of mowing them out of the tall grass. it may come from the fack that I have more weeds in the lawn than grass, they seem content to eat this.

well now on to the important stuff, I got the seeds packed and in the mail on sat, all except sue's you wanted DC# and the PO was closed by the time I got there, but I will go mail it tomarrow.

please post when you get them and I hope you like some of your new seeds. thanks for the gifts and seeds, now it's kind of a downer no more envies to wait for. well till the next swap.

I will be starting a fresh seed swap in the fall maybe sept or oct. I'm already packing up some of my early seeders, like poppies, columbines, clematis, and daisies.

Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear about the poison oak! My Mom is very allergic to poison ivy. She doesn't need to touch it to get it. She got it in the middle of winter. Some of the oils must have been on the snow. I'm glad to hear your doing better.

Excited about the seeds! I'll get them in time for my birthday!

I meant to reply sooner, but have been away. Pawneepapa, you made it it a success! We just helped a little. I was wowed by the variety I received in the pack. I can't wait to get planting. This certainly helped stave off the winter doldrums. It's good to know the extras will be used and are appreciated. Thanks to all for making my first seed swap experience wonderful. I'll be participating again! Barb

Klick, you can now put me as RECEIVED. Luna's/Jenell's box of wonderful gifts came today. And here is what she sent: -B&B Works lavender aromatherapy bath/shower gel that came in the shape of a champagne bottle -bath beads, bath salts, and bath fizzes -a bag full of Ghirardelli squares-milk chocolate with caramel filling-you used to send those to me two years ago--I still love them! -a cute flowered can cuzee with black feathers around the bottom-woowoo -white chocolate raspberry scented lip balm-it is awesome! -Life Savers fruit tarts-never had these before-really pucker your lips-sooo good! -a very cute flowered pen and sticky note paper set -stickers which I will take to school-the kids will love them -500 piece puzzle of a beautiful building surrounded by gorgeous flowers-I will also be taking this to school. When the kids have a bit of time toward the end of the period, I have a puzzle out for them to work on. This will be perfect! They love to do them. -a beautiful wrought iron scrolled wall hanging of two flowers with leaves and a butterfly. Jenell, I absolutely love this!!! Thank you so much! I can hang something from the end of it, too, I see. -some cool garden gloves-the kind that are porous material on the top so your hands can "breathe," and the palms are rubberized but not so thick that you can't pick up small objects. Great! -3 painted terra cotta planters on a terra cotta tray. Very Pretty. -a new journal with a gorgeous daylily on the front. Jenell, what a beautiful book you chose. I will be using this for my 2007 plant journal. Thank you for this, too. -lock de-icer -AND something I can't wait too take to school and display. A sticker that says WARNING-BEWARE OF THE TEACHER It's done in the usual warning signs that you see of black, red and white. Jenell, when I saw this I just burst out laughing. I LOVE it!!! DEFINITELY worth waiting for! -and last but not least, I now possess The Perfect Man. He's "sweet" and decadently "rich!" Just how a man ought to be!. It's 3.5 oz. of solid milk chocolate in the shape of a muscle man with white shorts with red hearts on them. This guy has a real 6-pak, short stumpy muscled legs, no neck, muscled arms, and a belly button. This is a HOOT! Maryanne, are you jealous??? Jenell, you really made my day with all of the fun, wonderful, and thoughtful things that you sent. If you were here, I would just hug you to pieces. Thank you so much for everything and for being such a wonderful bloomin' friend. Mary Ellen

So what was your favorite loot you received? I received Purple Queen beans. Hurray! I received some seeds earlier this year and am growing them for the first time this year. I also received Big Bertha peppers. I grew these peppers when I first started gardening. They did amazingly well. I haven't been able to find the seeds since.

So tell me about your favorites from the swap.

my fav that I "receved" was a black bachelor button.
I grew these last year but forgot to save myself some seeds.

I have been packing my seeds from the columbines, they did well this year.
happy gardening and see ya later

I really don't know if I could chose just one favourite, so many new varieties I have never had before. A couple seem so exotic to me, Talinium (can't wait to gorw this) and "Mexican Bird of Paradise" I am preparing this seed to plant now!

So many seeds so little time....
