NEW: 'Pick a Seed, any Seed & Pay it Forward' Robin

17 years ago

I'd like to organize a simple round robin which would simply be like a big honkin SASBE going around.

How it will work:

I'll start with 20 packs of seeds or more.

I'll send it to person #1, who takes out what they like, and replaces with the same # of packets or more that they'd like to share in the Robin.

They send it to person #2, who does the same thing.

I'd like to have a good number of folks for this one.

My plan will be to send the Robin around 1 and a half times so that the first people will also have a chance to pick from the offerings at the end, which would likely be a bigger selection than they got to choose from initially (follow that?).

Post here if you'd like to participate; all are welcome to post until the end of the month, and I'll start it on October 1st.

    Ok, next group; email is sent.
    Zabecc- I sent yours via a 'reply' to a recent email correspondence from our trade. Hopefully you'll get that one.

    Maryanne, are you using aol or yahoo? Double-check that it didn't end up in your junk folder, as I use yahoo, and occasionally, GW emails end up in there.

    Jeanie74- Your email here at GW is blocked. Would you kindly email me privately through 'My Page' here, or double-check your profile here at GW if you don't want your email blocked. Thanks!

    Wait!!!!!!!! Is there room for one more?

    And can I put in more than I take out? I have a lot of seeds to give away.

    Posted by seedmoney 8A (seedmoney@embarqmail.com) on Mon, Feb 18, 13 at 15:45 This offer is now closed. Tip...when responding to any seed trade or 'offer' it is a good idea to scan through the posts in the thread to see if the OP (Original Poster) has updated, changed, or closed the offer...as in this case.

    I totally didn't mean to hone in on any already-pending swaps! I hope I'm not intruding :( Anyway, if you can, you can, if you can't, no biggie. That's why there's a miriad of swaps going all over these boards! To everyone: If you haven't joined any swaps yet, do check them all out; there's one sure to fit your 'style!' Have a great fall "SWAP SEASON" everyone! ~mmq

    I've posted the seed pics on 3 different forums but still havent gotten an ID yet. I've tried searching seed ID web sites also but no luck. I'm really really curious! Help anyone, anyone ??? There was only one seed of each type. Think I'll plant the white one and see what i get....such anticipation! hope it grows something wonderful :)

    Sunshine 123: It has been 3 weeks since you said you were going to send out my seeds, and they still have not arrived. You don't have an email address listed so I can't notify you privately. By any chance did you forget to send them? I know that life happens; but it is extremely disheartening to be waiting for something and it never arrives. Sherri : (

    i use neither aol nor yahoo. my address is on my page clear as can be :)

  • 17 years ago

    I haven't received an email either.

  • 17 years ago

    Squanzon- You already got it and replied back to me ;)

    Maryanne- I just sent another email direct from here, and from my mail service. I hope one of them reaches you! (3rd time lucky, right?)

  • 17 years ago

    I'll try to send this notice out individually to everyone, but here's a couple of points on this Robin: There will only be one envie going around. One BIG envie, hopefully!
    You may certainly put in more than you take out!
    Also, you may put in duplicates if you have them, because there may be someone out there planting 'en masse' or more than one of us that likes what you put in!
    Cost shouldn't run us more than $3 postage, at best, but no guarantees if we're all super-generous in our replacements!
    Delivery Confirmation is a must.

    We'll get into more details later, but those are the basics. Actually, that's pretty much most of the details- LOL!
    The list is getting nice and long; please feel free to join- there's PLENTY of time left! Train doesn't leave the station until October 1st!

  • 17 years ago

    I'd like to join too!

    There is still time to sign up! Please post here, and I'll send you the intro mailing. Robin takes flight on October 1st!

    ANNOUNCEMENT:
    For those confirmed for participation:

    I am currently working on "THE MAP." I will be sending to the farthest reaches of the US first, so that no one is stuck sending it cross-country. We'll work our way back to New England from there. You will all get a .pdf file of the map just for fun to track our progress. Stay tuned!

  • 17 years ago

    If you have an AOL or AIM address, and are not yet confirmed for participation, please use the link on "My Page" (mine, not yours) to send me a direct email. It appears that GW mailings are being blocked by AOL for whatever reason.

    dorothy_2006 and Millybug, I have added you to my AIM "buddy list" for the moment so maybe we can hook up that way.
    drevalvo- Your profile still has your email blocked here at GW. If you would like to participate, please email me through "My Page," or unblock your email so I can reach you.
    I don't want anyone to be left out!

  • 17 years ago

    Oh, I'm getting excited. My closest co-worker is slowly downsizing her garden, & here I have all these grand plans to start a bazillion seeds! She thinks I'm crazy LOL. I scored a bunch of different coneflowers from her though! Yahoo!

  • 17 years ago

    A map to follow the package progress?! What a neat idea!
    This is going to be SO MUCH fun!!!

  • 17 years ago

    I'm excited!

  • 17 years ago

    I'm on board...I may be the caboose...but I'm on board!

    Prairiewinds- Check your bulk mail folder in Yahoo in case the mailing landed there. I use yahoo, too, and sometimes GW messages land in that folder.

  • 17 years ago

    drevalvo- you're confirmed.

    Jen, dorothy_2006, and prairiewinds: I still haven't heard back from you. Please use "My page" (mine) to contact me directly so we can get you confirmed for participation.

  • 17 years ago

    Hi mmqchdygg,

    I e-mailed you on Sept 28 through your "My Page" E-mail expressing my interest...did you receive it?

    I would love to jump on board if there is still room. Can you let me know if I'm in time to play?

    Thanks!

    Kristen (KayEmEll)

  • 17 years ago

    Kristen- You're all set.

    This Robin is now closed. As I have not heard back from Jselwa, Dorothy_2006, and prairiewinds, I will have to send the Robin on its way. If Jselwa, D_2006 and prairie would still like to participate for the second round, you may certainly do so; just get in touch with me, and I'll get you included for Round 2.

    Otherwise, thank you all for your participation, this Robin is now closed, and watch your email & snail mails for more fun stuff!
