    FYI: I received seeds today from: homegrownsc If you sent your seeds and you think they should have been received by now, PLMK. It's possible they may get here on Monday. I will be busy the next week sorting the seeds. I already have a few about ready to go out. All will be out by October 22. I would appreciate it if you could post here or send me an e-mail when you receive your seeds. Thanks everyone for participating in the swap. It's been a great learning experience for me. I'm having a lot of fun doing it...it's time consuming...but fun. I hope everyone is happy with their returned seeds.

    I may be totally wrong but I think Willy is trying to put better packages together. When I see a post like sdambr , I'm thinking he saw my original post a long while back and is trying to make better packages. This would take a long while because he sells 1, 2,5 seeds so he would have to be repacking for a long time. I wouldn't worry about seeds, I have not heard of anyone saying they didn't ever get seeds, he is just slow... Lisa

    27 people have posted they received theirs so far... I didn't go back and check but I think there were a lot more than that who signed up. Granted, not everybody comes back to post they received theirs. I also requested nothing back if it wasn't on my wants list, but just wondering if that's going to be the case - could you let me know, please, Willie? Thanks either way. :] Terri

    Happy Holidays, Everyone,

    I received my seeds on Christmas Eve, which was a lovely present. I opened them Christmas night, and found some very nice things: Oriental poppies, Christmas tree seeds (how cute!), dianthus, feverfews, chocolate Joe Pye, etc. Thanks so much to Willy and all of the generous gardeners!!!

    Merry Christmas,

    I still have not received mine.Is there any one else waiting? Maybe tomorrow...........
    moonphase

  • drippy
    16 years ago

    Yeah, Moonphase - but no worries - Willy is one of the all-time best swappers. Last year he started a swap just before the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in his area. Despite having to relocate for awhile, he pulled it off.

    There were a LOT of signups for this swap, more than for TGS I think - and Willy doesn't have a pile of rules the way I do, LOL. He does a good job sorting, too - if I had to wait a year for my return seeds (which I know I won't!), they'd be worth waiting for.

  • godsgarden9

    Just a note... I still am finishing the last of the packages, these are the largest packages, so take more time, to provide the best assortment, hopefully within a week the last of the packages will be out, thanks for your patience, and your participation. Will hopefully see many of you again in the spring.. have a blest 2008, Willy-godsgarden9.

    Hi All,
    I received my seed package today. Thanks to you all for the wonderful varieties! And a special thanks to you Willy for hosting! Hope you all have a Blessed year!...Marylee

  • Julie
    16 years ago

    Hey there Moonphase-
    I wanted to let you know that you are not alone in not receiving seeds from Willy yet- I too am patiently waiting for their arrival in my mail box. I sent in a bunch of seeds and asked for far less back- and I hope he reads this here post cuz I really do not want as many back as I sent in!!
    It is a HUGE swap and a HUGE amount of time is spent sorting seeds! I hosted a much smaller swap- and it took about 50 man hours of sorting to get through it all! I know how much work it is- and am hoping Willi is taking some time to enjoying himself- even with working so hard to get through them all!
    I am choosing to look at this way- as with most things in life- the best things are worth waiting for!
    Hope it helps to know- you are not waiting all alone....

    After reading Willys post,I just had a big sigh of relief.He is still working on some,so mine is probably sitting happily in LA,getting filled with lots of good goodies.Drippy,I didn't have a single worry about Willy .I do worry about lost seeds or delayed seeds.I had a trade that I sent out in Oct. and she received them 1 month later.Then I sent seeds to another trader and right before I was going to have to send replacement seeds,she got them.My mail has been crazy for some reason,so when I think my seeds are on the way,I start pacing,lol.
    I will surely be in Willys spring swap.All the swaps I have been in have just been way above awesome this year.Now,have to go get busy and pack up some more theme seeds.:-)

    I received my seeds right before Christmas and was so excited to get them! I've finally had a chance to sort through them all and do some research and am so happy with my loot!

    Thank you so much!!!

  • drippy
    16 years ago

    Wowee! What a great selection arrived in my mailbox today - Willy, how do you do it? Just when I think I have everything, I get some gorgeous new varieties to try - and yep, I had to go look some of them up, too. Whoopee! I am doing the happy dance here.

    Next year, I'd like an additional 10 acres of planting space...

    :) God bless you, Willy!
