I love getting seeds in the mail!! I sent mine to you yesterday!

How many seed packets do people usually send in to these swaps on average? This is my first one :)

Bump,...!

I would love to join the swap. I was so busy at the time of the last swap ( I work retail) so I have more time now. Please include my grandsons -- Dirt Bro's

I'd like to join! Sending you an email with the requested information, Willy.

Jeff

Bump...!

Mailed my seeds yesterday. 65 packs and some packs for newbies too!

Thanks, Willy.
Alicia

Bump...!

My seeds were mailed out to you yesterday Willie. Thanks for hosting this swap.

Daisy

Willy, my seeds were mailed today!
DC # 0312 1430 0001 9471 3591
I sent a $1 so you could send seeds back to me with a DC also!
I had mailed a package to another trade last week & the mail person said it would be the same for Priority as First Class so I sent enough stamps for whatever you need! The envelope for this swap (was about the same as last week) cost less than $3 to mail!!! CRAZY!!!
Since you backed up the "send to you" date...what is your approximate projected return date??? Just curious??? ;o)
Thanks again for hosting!!!

I want to thank all of those participating in the swap.. My goal is to have the seeds sent out by the end of the month. There may be a few that have not gotten there seeds in yet or still want to participate... for those please have the seeds in by the end of the month... I will try to have the seed packages on the way returned to most of those that have already sent their seed packages in by then, thank you again for your participation, and have a great 2013 growing season. Willy your host.

thanks Lisa

sounds exciting i'm new and just started getting seeds last year so i dont have anything real rare or anything yet. but i hope what i do have will help someone else and get something new to plant also. Yea!
Thanks, Keary

So looking forward to getting my seeds and starting things indoors again! Spring won't come soon enough. :)

Thanks, again, Willy!

lysa39, you can post on the regular seed exchange that you are a newbie. You still need to have some seeds to trade. You can buy a few packs of unusual seeds and hopefully get some trades. When I was a newbie on there several people sent me free seeds no trade, just because I was new! Sorry to hear you had a trade go bad.

@ lysa39.. you can try the Newbie Seed Project on the Seed Exchange. She may still have packets available, worth a try.

Yes, most of the packages should be in the mail tommorrow, tan you for your participation.. have a wonderful growing Season... Willy your host.

Very exciting!

I received my seeds today. Thanks to a great host and thanks to all of you who contribulated to my seed addiction.

Don

cant wait for mine to arrive!

cant wait for mine to arrive!

Leucanthemum Exhibition

Pink Adenium
Purple poppy mallow
Hungarian Blue Poppy
Geum
Sundance red gaillardia

Oh... and lots more!
Thank you very much everyone, and especially godsgarden9 for hosting.

A great big THANK YOU to Willy & everyone who shared seeds!!! Got mine today. My 1st garden is going to be awesome!!! Time to go play in the dirt :)

I got a bubble envelope today with no return address. I don't know if it was from here or not. I was very disappointed. Some envelopes only contained about 3-5 seeds. Certainly not worth what all I sent!

@Zackey, that is weird, I felt all of the packages I recieved were very generous.

I got my package today and wow I am ecstatic lol...awesome job willy!!! Thanks super bunches for hosting this and all your time and thanks all who shared seeds for this event!!!

I received my package today. Thank you for hosting this fun swap, Willy!

Thanks to everyone for sharing their seeds. I'm excited about everything I received.

Hi Willy, received my seeds today, thank you so much. I'm sure I will be back to join your Back to School Seed Swap in the Fall.

I receive the envelope of seeds today. But im very puzzled why some of my seeds are in there from last year's fresh seed swap? 5 packs are from me & I didn't put them in this year's swap....

80% of the seeds I got won't grow in my zone. They are for up north. I realize that maybe most of the traders are from colder zones than me, but it didn't make it a fun trade for me. I went and felt all of the seed packs again and 4 had what I would call the right amount for the trade.

First I want to say, Thanks Willie for doing another great swap.
Then, to Christine, it is very possible that some seeds you sent to other swaps were "traded back in" by gardeners who could not use them. Last spring I gave away all my left over seeds. There is nothing to stop the recepients from trading off ones they did not want.
If all seeds had the senders name on them that helps. Very few of what I got in the mail today had member names on them. Some swaps I have gotten seeds that I could not find online but I was able to contact the traders and get some advice. That's nice!
Zachy, I hear you and sympathise BUT the host can only send back from among the seeds that were sent in. If folks are sending in old seeds and not putting their names on them then that is what is available. Also, the majority of members are , as you guessed from zone 8 and north from there.If you are looking for tropicals, try some of the regional forums. They may be a better fit.
It's discouraging but the level of swaps on this site has gone down over the last few years. I can't see what a host can do to change that. Anyone have any ideas?
Again, I want to thank Willie for years of hard work on doing some of the best swaps I have participated in.

Well said, beth_b_kodiak.

I just started 18 containers and put them outside for winter sowing! I am very excited for my new flower garden this spring :)

Yip-yip-yeah, my big ol' envy full of seeds arrived yesterday!! Bit like a 2nd Christmas! Holy Katz,...what a wonderful, varied bounty! Willy, good sir, once again my hat's off to you and your hosting prowess! And of course, thank you everyone who participated! :)

WOW! My seeds arrived yesterday! Thanks Willy for a wonderful assortment of seeds. I appreciate you hosting this swap. Thank you also to everyone who shared their seeds.

Seeds came in thanks again Willy!

Seeds arrived. I guess I'll be planting for the next little bit. Thanks Willy for hosting this.

* 5 packs are from me & I didn't put them in this year's swap....*

Chris, I would assume that somebody who got them last year sent them back in

I got my seeds just fine, wonderful variety. Much gratitude for all the hard work.

I received my seeds yesterday!! Looks like I will have some new things to try growing -- can't wait! Thanks for hosting such a great swap!

Yes,I should've realized that's what happened. Just had me puzzled for a bit! Lol! Am happy with what else I got, though! Thanks,willy!
