new: ne1 interested in a true fall rr

11 years ago

If you would be interested in participating in a true Fall Robin Round please post here.

Rule are as follows:

A True Fall Robin Round will give you an opportunity to receive and exchange seeds with other members. You will receive the seed box, take seeds you'd like/want, add your own seeds to the box, mail the box to the next member on the list. There will be a limit of 30 participants.

Cost - We will be using the LARGE FLAT RATE BOX through the US Postal Service which costs $15.45 + a DC# $0.85 = $16.30 IF and ONLY IF we have less then 30 participants and if everyone agrees to use the MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX the cost will be $11.35 + DC# $0.85 =#12.20 This will be the main cost to you, if you need to purchase seeds to participate then you will have that expense as well.

Shipping schedule - Shipping schedule will be created once we receive all participant's info. The box will leave North Carolina and travel the most direct route to the next participant and will continue the most direct route until it returns back to ME in NC.

Guidelines:

Please note that seeds are for your own personal use and not to be sold. This Round Robin is for seeds only no bulbs.

IF you sign up please follow the guidelines provided, make sure you are truly committed to the cost as well.

No common seeds please, they are too readily available and it is expensive to mail a box it would be too disappointing to find marigolds or other common easily found seeds in the box. (Usually the $ 0.20 packs at the big box stores.)

IF you are unsure what is a common easily obtainable seeds PLEASE ask on the thread for the Round Robin, participates will be glad to help you.

1. In order to participate you will need to send me a message with your REAL name, Gardenweb name, address, phone number and the email addy of the email address you use.

Only your name, address and email will be given on the list for the box, the phone number is for me in case there is an issue with the movement of the box.

2. Please include at least 12 large seeds in each seed pack.

(Large seed include: watermelon, cantaloupe, moon flower vine...)

Small seeds should have more. At least 30. (Small seed include: Salvia, Columbine, Lettuce...)

If the seeds are really small, such as dust type make sure there are enough in there to get some plants.

Please do not include more then 5 packs of the same type.

Please include a proper packet, such as coin envies or plastic or glassine. No seed packs that might burst EXAMPLE: Made from recycled teabags or thin notebook paper.

You MAY use homemade packs but please use heavy grade paper since these will be traveling a while the packs must be sturdy! Make sure they are sealed well too.

3. When you receive the box, take what you want/need for for the next planting season. You must add the same amount of seeds you took from the box (nothing older than 2009). Make sure the seeds are properly marked with the name of the seeds and YEAR and if it is commercial or OP from your Garden

Example: If you remove 15 packs of seeds you will need to replenish with 15 packs of seeds.

Information to include on the pack:

Echinacea White Swan 2012 OP

OR if it is a commercial pack:

Echinacea White Swan 2012 com.

This let's everyone know where the seeds came from.

NOTE: Seeds up to the year 2009 may be included if they have been stored correctly, if you think they are not viable please do not include them.

ALSO make sure older seeds will be viable because some seeds will only live for a year, examples of this are TREE SEEDS, ONIONS, CHIVES, ALLIUMS. There are others and if you are not sure please check online or ASK on the thread before you include them I am sure someone will have an answer for you.

4. Mail the box to the next person on the list within 3 days of receiving the box. You must then update the Round Robin thread with this information: the date you received and date you mailed the box with the DC# and the NEXT person in line to receive the box.

***NOTE: BEFORE YOU MAIL TO THE NEXT PERSON ON THE LIST PLEASE CONTACT THEM VIA THE EMAIL ADDRESS THEY PROVIDED TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE STILL PARTICIPATING as circumstances do change as the box moves along.

5. IF the box gets tattered please replace the whole box with a new one, so please pick one up if you do not have one already so you will have one available once you receive the box this way you will not have to wait to get a box before you are ready to send it back out on it's trip.

Make sure you tape the box closed really, really, really well.

6. Sign ups will be held until Sept. 15 I will make the list of where it is going and mail out on Monday Sept. 24 this gives me a little more then a week to figure out the best route for the box to travel IF there are not that many people who sign up then it might mail out sooner BUT I want to make sure I have the best travel route for the box to move on.

If we use the large flat rate box I will include a few goodies and you may include some too. BUT I would like a good seed assortment when I receive the box back not full of stuff please.

PLEASE POST HERE, then send me your information requested in guideline No. 1....I think that is it with the guidelines and information. THIS is meant to be fun, PLEASE participate in the RR thread . Trading should be fun, exciting and interesting!!! Don't post you want to join then never post anything again. BE ACTIVE IN THE THREAD, HAVE SOME FUN, TELL us some things you took from the box whether it was a seed you couldn't live without or one you have been looking for. Post pics of flowers growing in you yard now or of the flowers you have collected seeds from. LET'S HAVE FUN, I might even post some games to keep the thread interesting and alive! :) Aqua

Just a thought here-if you choose the most direct route based on participants you can probably use an all purpose Priority Mail box based on weight instead and get off less expensively than using flat rate. If the participant is able to print postage at home Regional Rate boxes will cut postage rates dramatically, probably by half.

well Ladies, this one's coming down the homestretch. if my figures are right, of the 11 people involved here, 7 have had their packages received, 1 has packages in transit, and 3 are waiting to get their packages in the mail this week. Not bad! Not bad at all! I want to thank you all once again for making this a fun, learning experience for me. I'm sure I made some mistakes along the way, but you all picked up the slack and kept me going. I'm going to take a break this month from hosting, continue to play in my garden, and sink myself into the butterfly/hummingbird swap. However, if the stars align correctly, I'll be back hosting once again in July, and introduce you to my FAVORITE holiday!!! There won't be any ho-ho-hoing during that one!!! Care to take a guess as to which holiday we'll be celebrating in July??? Take care everyone, and have yourselves a great night! -(Santa) Dan

Jeanette, so glad to hear the mascotts are both resting safely in the infirmary. I see that we can't send any more of these guys out on road trips. they must not be as tough as old nuts the squirrel... though he did get a bit beat up in his travels too. I have been reading magsfrom the box that Remy sent and need to send thanks for the goodies that were included in the box. The special fall Country Living Gardener is terrific is beautiful with so many good articles and the sunflowers on the front cover. Extra special, thanks. Peanut butter kisses are favorites. My brother worked for years for the company that makes them and they always bring happy memories. MMmmmthanks Remy, the watch is so pretty. Thank you so much. My watches are so totally functional and utilitarian it will be a treat to wear something Pretty for a change. Sue, did you make the soap? I want to make some too and have some questions. It sure smells good. I love stuff that smells good. The garden stake and pink glads will go out front in the spring. and the thank you cards are both attractive and practical. Love the old timey wheelbarrow and wish I could find one for my yard. What a treasure that would be. There are also recipe cards and stickers.... hope I didn't miss anything but there were a lot of goodies especially considering how much good reading material was in there too. I appreciate the Green Scene mags as they are close enough to give me ideas of things to plant and places to visit. I've been reading those and enjoying them a lot. I might decide to join PHS myself. When the birdie that is at Jeanettes finds her way home that will be the end of this swap at least until after Christmas. I figure most of us will be pleanty busy from now to then. Thanks everyone for playing. This magazine RR is one of my favorite GW activities. BB

New Bosch 500 dryer is turning into a nightmare. NE1 else?
Q
Comments (28)
OK, I think it's safe to say that the Bosch dryers are a wee bit overly sensitive to air flow. This is clearly estlablished. Here's a few tip's for EO1 sufferer's. I think the use of flex duct is out of the question to use with these dryers. The straight runs of the flex hose will collect as much lint as a 90 deg. bend smooth sided rigid duct, especially if the flex duct is not fully stretched out. Any flex duct that is not stretched out fully will trap lint like crazy. If you have excess duct, do not leave it bunched up. Stretch it out fully and cut off the excess if you must use it. Smooth sided rigid ducting will reduce lint build up but annual cleaning of any duct on a well used dryer is essential to proper dryer operation and maximum efficiency. Another option that will help people with EO1 syndrome (if feasable), is the use of oversized ducting. You can get adaptors that will allow the use of 5 or even 6 inch ducting that will help increase air flow in long runs of ducting. I don't know if the sensor is operated on temperature or air flow, but it appears that these dryers do not tolerate any air flow obstruction. Another thing to be looked at is proper installation of the duct work. Heat naturally rises and any duct work that flows downward will cause back pressure, just as if it were partially clogged. Any down flowing sections should be removed and rerouted to at least be level, but ultimately flowing upward. Any bends in the duct should be kept to a minimum. If you can get away with a 45 rather than a 90 deg. bend, do it. If possible, make the duct work flow upward all the way to the house vent and keep bends to a minimum. Make sure your outside vent has something on it to prevent critters from entering the duct work, especially if it's near ground level. Don't use a screen on the outside vent unless it has at least 3/4 inch square sized holes and clean it often too. Use foil tape to seal seams and it's a good idea to leave a seam untaped every 6 or 8 feet so that you can easily take the ducts apart for cleaning every year. Anyone who has had to remove that foil tape on a joint will know why I say to leave it off. It's not easy to remove! I found a vent duct brush with a 6 foot wire handle for $6 at a hardware store. A must have to clean the ducts. My wife has one of those ball shaped cob web broom things on an extendable handle. They work great for cleaning ducts too. If you're not into taking the ducts apart,you can buy these plastic things that are advertised as "heating vents" that go in line with your duct work so that you can open the vent and use the heat from your dryer to heat your basement or wherever. They fit in line with the duct work and they have a little lever on them to open and close the vent. If you don't mind 100% humidity in your basement they're fine, but they also allow you access to the vent for cleaning which is what I use them for . They're cheap and are easy to install. The only problem is that you can only clean in one direction when it's open so you'll have to put one every 8 or 10 feet if you have a long run. Just something to consider if you don't want to take the ducts apart for cleaning every year. Hope this helps. Happy duct cleaning!!

Excellent point Alana!

Aqua, how many different types of seeds will you be starting the box off with? I'm interested, but I'd like to know how many possible choices I'll have first. I know the types of seed will change as it goes, but it would be nice to know about how many packs of seeds I'll find when it gets to me.

Dan, I am not sure at the moment I haven't taken inventory. I have some older seeds I plan on putting in from 2009, BUT still viable because I started some this year. These are flower seeds.
I am hoping I have more seeds from stuff I am growing now, hopefully all will be ready by the time I mail out, but I am currently growing a good bit of veggies.
I have 2012 bean seeds I will be including if anyone is interested in those.
There will be a good mix I am starting with an IF my local store still has some commercial packs I will be picking up some plus what I already have now.
I have no idea what I have available, wasn't expecting anyone to ask what would be included especially not this early.

Thanks Alana, I was thinking about some of what would be going in the box and the weight and it truly all depends on WHO signs up which way the route will go. I know I have seen a few times someone in like Colorado joined one and no one else in that area did and it ended up being shipped back to like TX to go back on a route.
I guess I will really have to wait an see if any folks sign up before I know for sure what will be happening with the RR and I figured it would be easier to list the PR boxes because those are general and no surprise costs ways to ship.
I was also thinking what if the last person is in CA then they have to ship back to me? It would cost them more either way so I was thinking of balance I guess too.

Ok so far it looks like we possibly have:
01. ME
02. sguanzon-Sue

If you don't mind when you post here could you tell me if you are interested in:
Flowers or Vegetables or both and if you might be interested in beans seeds.

Thanks!!!

Put me down as a maybe. I'll keep watching to see how many people join, and if there gets to be a good number I'll sign up too. It would also be good to have an idea of what's going to be in the box, as far as seeds go. One year I signed up for a round robin and when I got the box, half the seeds were in one hug bag of joe pye weed. That was disappointing, to say the least.

As for your veggies vs. flowers question, I'd prefer flowers. I prefer to buy my vegetable plants at the local nursery every spring.

Have a good night!

hementia8 I can cover you on a good bit of what you are looking for, you have a very impressive list already. I like what you have listed on your haves. I am big on veggies and want to grow a lot of beans next year so I personally would love to get some of what you have. :)

I am currently growing Red Burgundy Okra an have Crimson Spineless seed I would throw in a few packs of those.

Dianne, I was hoping to be able to do that too, I think it is nice to put in things I know people want.

UPDATE:
I have some ideas floating around in my head about the Robin Round, when I gather some info and go through my seeds to see what I have I will decide exactly what I want to do with this.

I know I want to do this:
I am going to allow participants to list five (5) of their most wanted seeds IF others have any of them they can specifically mark the pack for that person OR if you have more then one for that person then you may put them together and place a piece of paper (you know like a little envy) around them an place the persons name on them. Mark on the outside what you put in if you have it sealed so others may see what was added and not send duplicates. (I know duplicates maybe wanted of some things but space may not allow for this in a Round Robin!)
REMEMBER however if the person was behind YOU on the route then you can not add to the box for them. (Might figure out a way to do this not sure yet how exactly)

SO now as it stands we are here:
Ok so far it looks like we possibly have:
01. ME (everything)
02. sguanzon-Sue (??)
03. katybear826- Katy (??)
04. MoonFire-Dianne (??)
05. hementia8- (veggies)

MAYBE:

Ok then, I think we are looking pretty good so far. I am not as disappointed now lol. I was afraid no one want to play :)

Maybe the last person on the list could send it back to the next to last and it could go around in reverse back to the start...the only thing is that would make the 1st one where it originated and the next one on the list wait quite a bit longer for their real turn maybe...just a suggestion but don't know if it would work or not...I was also thinking it would depend on what # on the list someone is on to whether they would want to join or not...I'd suggest it go around twice or either go around once and then start in reverse to be equal or fair to everyone maybe...I also wouldn't want to be the 1st one or 2nd on the list...but we do need to show appreciation for aqua for being willing to sponsor this...so maybe we could each include a pack of seeds just for aqua or pay aqua's bit of the postage between us all like all add a few stamps for when it gets back to aqua...or put in a small gift like a special bookmark or something...it's just a suggestion yet again...

i have just bought some new veggie seeds...i'm interested in knowing if this is really gonna be a go and how many are gonna be included to know if i need to put back some of these new seeds for this or not...

gmom, I could make sure you are home before it comes to your house other wise it would sit there until you got home....

hementia8 I would like to see it go 2 rounds. Those who don't want to go the second time could just say they are signing up for one round only. I was also thinking about doing a split too before you mentioned it in the email :)
I just wanted to see who might be signing up first.

I want to know IF we do not make it to 30 participants would everyone want to go for the PR bubble envy? With the DC# it would be $6.00 to mail. Please make sure BEFORE we start you have one available to use because some PO do not have these available you have to order them, my PO is one that doesn't keep them.
IF this is where we end up you will need to order one of those from the usps.com I am sure DAN can get you the number to order the correct one.
Also IF we wind up using the bubbly then there will only be seeds included no extras.

IF we do a box I will be allowing everyone to include a list of their most wanted seeds, I will explain later how I would want this to work. BUT only if the large box is used, we will have room for it then.

Moonfire, we were posting at the same time LOL.
I would say put some back because if no one else sign-up for this maybe you, hementia8, me and anyone else who wants veggies could do a bubbly envy round with veggies only.
I have already been looking at some veggies I want to order too so maybe between us we would have some nice seeds for next year!
I for one am all up for doing that IF we don't get this True Fall RR going, what do ya'll say? lol.

I am just mentioning this just in case the True Fall RR doesn't get going, BUT I think it looks pretty good at the moment.

Speaking of veggies, how is everyone's gardening doing that planted one? I am disappointed with mine. My tomatoes have not done too well, my eggplants just aren't happy and not that big either.
I have watermelons with vines going everywhere but do not seem to be producing too many watermelons! I have been out there looking and some don't seem to be doing a thing! The sugar babies are covered with melons but they are taking forever to get ripe.
At any rate, my garden has been disappointing this year. Has yours?

Our onions didn't make :(
Our tomatoes made like 2 or 3 little tomatoes each (we only planted 2 plants)
Our squash was making but my daughter that tried to help weedeat cut them down and they didn't come back
Our peppers made a few little peppers but nothing to brag about
Our watermelon sprouted and started to vining and then just stopped and are at a standstill forever it seems
Our cucumbers did great but they are dying back now and have quit producing

So this year was disappointing to me also...can't wait to get the winter veggies going and see if they do any better...this is our 1st year of really actually trying to do something with our yard/garden as we're in a new house and trying to get it landscaped but it seems like a never ending job lol

The cukes...I've heard people say that theirs make a 2nd go around or produce twice...so should I cut my cukes down and see if they come back up again or should i just dig them up and be done with them for the year?...

My tomatoes we left out there after they quit and 1 of the tomato plants now has 3 little baby green tomatoes on it so it produced twice but i'm not sure if they will ripen or rot yet...

Ok, Moonfire we did it again LOL, here is the link below for the padded envy, that is what it is called at the postal service.

Priority Mail Padded Flat Rate Envelope is the whole correct name of the envy we would need to get they come in packs of 5, 10 and 15! They are nice if you are going to do a flat rate for something and for a seed swap they are awesome!

Ok, I am going to go figure out what I want for supper now. I am hungery...oh no wonder I forgot to eat lunch!
I was too busy putting up corn for the freezer and I made some tomato sauce and a quart of salsa. I only got about a pint of tomato sauce but hey every little bit helps right?
Alrighty then, supper I say!

I will check back later to see if we have anymore responses I need to read.

If your local post office doesn't have the correct boxes or envelopes you need for shipping, you can go to usps.com and get your materials shipped to you for free. You can also print your postage at home, as long as you have a credit card. If you've never gone to usps.com, go there and check it out. There are a lot of services and products there.

Aqua, after looking at my fall schedule, I'm going to bow out of this swap. But, before I go, may I give you another idea for it? If there are people who'd only like the box/envie to come to them once, and some who'd like to receive it twice, have them say so and use it when you are planning your delivery list. You could put all the people who want it twice at the beginning, then send to the people who only want it once, then send it once again around to the people who'd like it twice. That way, you'd get the most coverage of your list in an economical way. If you have everyone using priority shipping, the package will only take 2-3 days between stops, whether they are in the same city, or across the nation.

Everyone have fun!

Hey Deb, I am hoping to still get this going. It sure doesn't look like it is going to fly unless we get more people to join.
I would like to get at least 20 if not the full 30 and I think it will be stretching it to get 20 at this point.

I had hoped this would have more interest then it has received.

Aqua...just a thought. I was thinking about how long it would take for a round robin with 30 people. (it would be a long time) With me, Deb & Kim that's nine people. I vote to let her fly & have a smaller robin. 30 people is alot of people & chances are the robin would get "lost". That is why most people don't do true robins anymore. Also getting the robin where you get a big box of marigold seeds like Dan had stated earlier seems to be an issue.

03. katybear826- Katy (??)
04. MoonFire-Dianne (??)
05. hementia8- (veggies)
06. gmom2-6boys-gmom maybe(???)
07. tansy_mi_zn5-Tansy (??)
08. debbya- Deb (??)
09. txgardeningmama- Kim (??)

This is starting to look a lot better.

I am hoping this RR will not have the issues others have had, I posted NO COMMON seeds in the guidelines but I know there are some who are not sure what's common and what isn't which is also why I posted if you are not sure then please ask.

At the moment I see a few long time members of GW I know they are looking for uncommon items. I also am sure they will have wonderful seeds to put add.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE GUIDELINES POSTED FOR THIS SWAP REMEMBER IF YOU ARE UNSURE ABOUT SOMETHING PLEASE ASK. THANKS EVERYONE! If everyone adheres to these this will be a fantastic swap and all should come out with some nice seeds for next season.

PLEASE READ: I had a request to do the veggies separate IF we have a small group I will do this. For this reason I need to know if you are interested in only flowers, veggies, or both. IF we do it into 2 packages we will be using the bubbly envies from the USPS mentioned above in a previous post, PLEASE use the link on that post to order them.

Not all my veggies are coming in like they were supposed to so I will be missing some of the ones I wanted to put in. So disappointed with this!

Thanks everyone I have to go back and check my email I have to make sure everyone has sent me their information.

hey aqua
I am interested in anything lol got plenty of veggy seeds and will buy a bunch of flower seeds to add I hope you send the box around twice, you know you could combine the rr make one side of the box for veggys and the other side for flowers that way people could trade out of either side just my 2 cents lol sometimes I don't think I want to grow something till I see it. Our garden did really well compared to last year I still am putting up tomato's and okra and corn and of course peanuts lol I have so many peanuts!! How are the peanuts growing that I sent you? We are in the middle of planting our fall garden now but kinda leery been seeing strange signs that makes me think we will have an early and hard winter like the persimmons and riping and falling on the ground that has never happened before the first frost and acorns are doing the same I dont know about where anyone else lives but this is very strange here in north east texas. Guess I will be picking persimmons today before the cows eat them all lol Hope everyone has a great day!!

Hi Aqua! Just saw this today. Just wanted you to know I did read your post. But I am already committed to FOTESS and BLOOMING FRIENDS this month. But you said you wanted to know who was reading so thought that I would drop a line.

Y'all have fun!!!
