I'd be happy with just a few seeds of each. My goal is to have one of every plant I want. LOL

Hi All, a small amount is good since we will be sharing some of our special seeds well at midnight tonight we will know how many people will be playing I'll post again then.

Here is the list I should have e-mailed you all with the rules and my address if not let me know.I have over 100 packed up that's just the perennials and shrubs I'm only starting the annuals now. I'm also up for any of the new annuals or perennials just introduced besides what's on my want list that way I know I don't have it anything odd and different.Have fun looking. Patty

Hi Patty,
I didn't receive an email. Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. I think there is something wrong with my service. Anyway, would you send again please?
Thank you very much Marylee

I don't believe I got an email either, Patty, could you send it again? Thanks!

Hey everyone I suggest you look over everyones lists again I am doing that right now I think a lot of people have updated (I know I did)I'm finding a lot of more things I have to send
Patty

I just re-checked want lists and have added about 2 dozen more packets to my package!!!

Pnwjoy - I love your pics. I would love to see some shots of your yard too.

Sandy

I started with 20 things of the top of my head, looked closer at lists & stash and got up to 40, went back again to see what I missed, updates and read those "I need a plant that grows like such-n-such in this kind of light and flowers purple" bits....and now I'm up to 70 packets!!!!

(I woulda never guessed I had this many seeds in my trading & personal stash. Gotta get WAY more wintersowing containers.)

--a very surprised Tina, who feels like the tooth fairy.

My big fat package went out to you today, Patty with something for everyone conf #0306 2400 0001 3567 0384.

Thanks again for hosting! Can't wait!

My package goes to Patty this morning I think 60+ seeds maybe 70.I took alot of my stash.patty it has return postage thanks rosie

Hi Patty,
I sent my package out today. I was glad to fill more wants than I thought I could. This is the first RR I have ever joined and I really enjoyed it! Thanks for hosting and Happy Winter Sowing everyone!...Marylee

I packed up about 50 seed packets tonight and then thought I'd lose my mind so I took a break and will pick it up again tomorrow. (laughing)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi Everone I got 2 more packages today Nancys and Sandys
I think I finally have all of mine done and I have close to 200 packaged up for everyones wants now I just have to keep separating as I get them and it won't be bad thanks for being so good about separating it makes it so much easier on me thanks all.
Patty

I couldn't stand it anymore (my hands are ULTRA dry and the skin on my fingertips *without fail* cracks, splits open, and bleeds every winter. This year seems to be worse than others; the doctor's magic wand was broken !surprise!, so I'm down to wearing disposable gloves and calendula hand cream several times daily. ANYWAY, the reason for mentioning all of this is that it's torture trying to open up small ziplock baggies :( ) SO, I stopped doing seeds at a point and decided that was enough. So I don't know exactly how many packs I put in, but I'd estimate around 75-100. But they're in flight now! I didn't request a confirmation #, but they were picked up Wednesday morning, so you should have them Patty by Saturday, I'm guessing.
I'm looking forward to all the goodies!

Amanda 'romando'

Hi all I got 7 more envies today
Antons
Aimees
Tinas
Barbaras
Karens
Carolyns
and
Jeans
I actually counted how many packs of seeds I had for everyone today I was wrong it wasn't 200 it was 339!
I couldn't belive it but it's true how sad is that you think you are crazy Amanda my husband calls me the crazy seed lady I actully carry plastic envies in my purse and jacket pockets in case I come across seeds(not so much now but in warmer weather)I can't help it I love it. Patty

Hi all,
I am still packaging...and will be able to ship out tomorrow or at the latest, Saturday. So far, I have 40 packets, but I think I can double it.

So exciting!!!

Well, the message I sent earlier did not get posted. When I tried to log on to the Round Robin forum tonight weird things happened, once it sent me to June postings. I had no trouble with any of the other forums so it wasn't my computer.

I have spent hours and hours going through my seeds in my "keep" file choosing ones for this round robin. Much of that time was spent dividing up seeds that were sent for me to sow this winter/spring and trying to decide how many seeds I needed to keep and how many I could share. I love sharing with others and hope we each have enough seeds to get a couple of plants from each package. Therefore most of my packets will have small amounts of seeds but there are lots of packets, 244 and counting. I will go through the want lists one more time tonight and send this huge envelope full of seeds tomorrow. I think somebody wanted this pampas grass...
Bobbie

pattygrow, are you listing packages received by our names or usernames? I couldn't tell if I was the 'barbara' listed or not. I wanted to make sure my package made it.

thanks!
Barbi

Patty, I'm also guilty of carrying baggies in my purse, just in case I see some seeds that need to be rescued!:)

Amanda- I too suffer from the horrible bleeding, cracked fingertip syndrome and I hate it! I too have trouble with the baggies this time of year. Vitamin E oil works well for me, but it is oil so it is greasy...

Patty-

I mailed my seeds today. DC# 0305 1720 0000 8588 4706

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey Patty......Are You Having Fun yet????Rosie

Hi guys...Christmas in Jan...
Patty playing Santa..but not enough Elfs to help
her...I LOVE CHRISTMAS A shame it only come's once
a year.
My hands crack and bleed too. I have to wash them
all day long at my work. I use Neutrogena Hand Cream
and Foot Cream...Have tryed a lot of other lotions. This
is the only one that works for me...You guys need to try
it. And Patty I have baggies stashed everywhere.
We have a greenhouses at work. They ask me for seeds.
Hope everyone has a great weekend. I am trying to finish
some more Winter sowing.
Debbie

I've been going through my seeds and packaging them up every free minute I have for 4 days now. Still have more to go through. If I haven't gone through them all by Monday morning it'll be too bad because I'm sending them no later than that day. I've found a bunch so far though.
Some will have quite a few seeds per package. Others will just have a few each. But I'm trying to fill as many wants as I can.

Wool Wax Creme for the cracked hands! My DH got it first from a friend who is a welder. Gempler's carries it, and you can order online. We order from the maker a case at a time and share with family and friends. It is good stuff.

Might try Bag Balm (in the green tin) for those hands. When my grandma, born in 1908 saw that I had it she said "we used to put that on the cows' teets when they got chapped".

really works great.

Feels like Spring today.
I got outside and winter sowed
somemore, and checked on some I did
earlier, they are coming up already.
Hope they make it.

Start posting on the update girls. Patty

Patty,Sorry but my seeds will be mailed in the am.I forgot today the PO was closed,but I will send them priority.
