Helloooo Fellow NH Swappers, Thank you Annie for being our hostess and for opening your home, barn, gardens, kitchen, and yes, your heart to all of us. I so enjoy coming up there and seeing you and all of the other swappers too. I got some great plants and have not yet planted them (this weekend for sure!) but they have been generously watered by Mother Nature. The day was good, and we had nice weather and our luncheon and raffle was loads of fun. Now I know how you stay so slim, you never sit down! Thanks for showing me how to set up a Havahart trap for critters.... Hopefully I won't have to do it! Your brugs by the pool - awesome. A testament to your gardening ability. I'll look on Facebook for some photos. I know we didn't take as many as other years, but at least there are some! See you in the Spring. Surely we're having another one!

Thanks Liz! I still haven't received Jodi's pack yet...hoping it will pop up in today's mail....everything so far is as mixed as I can get it until I get her pack. I'm sitting on pins & needles....... I've got labels ready to go for most things, with the exception of the mega mixes. Those I will print out last just in case there are any last minute additions to the "includes" lists on those labels. Very little is going to be sent back to traders in the way of "odd man out" seeds. There were a few fuits and veggies, and a few things that were listed as "invasive" in the USDA Plant Database...but on the whole not much in that department. The megamixes so far will be Perennials, Annuals, Vines, Trees & Shrubs, Bulbs from Seed, Grasses, & a Cottage Master Mix (possibly an Herbs mix - I have to see if I have enough to add to it)....all will have labels listing the contents. I will post a full list of what everyone will be recieving when I mail the packs (complete with Delivery Confirmation #'s) back to everyone. I have also included a handmade card and small handmade gift that I hope everyone can enjoy! Netta

this was a hiccup in the initial posting, there is a wish list thread, that is labelled, Secret Santa Seed Swap Wish Lists Only ****************PLEASE see other thread to sign up and post ***********sorry for the second post !!

Hey there Lisa, This is a very short note to thank you for all of the effort and ceaseless attention that you have lavished on us gardenwebbers and gardenweb swappers. Your MANY beautifully-cared-for and so well-maintained gardens are truly amazing - I simply don't know how you do it! I came home and pulled some weeds as your lovely vignettes put me to shame! :-) LOL It was great to see you, Annie, Becky and Beryl all the usual suspects and newbies too. Your plantings are worthy of a great estate! I learned a lot (mostly about kale...) and had a nice lunch to boot. The newbies were in hog heaven with their loot! Was wondering what the little plastic cups were in between plants - I think it must be some sort of pest prevention? All your plants were so healthy and hardly any bug holes in any leaves. Our plantings here have so many holes. You should be very proud of how your home and yard looks - Mass Hort's got nuthin on you! hahaha. I loved how you ripped that hosta in half with your bare hands - that is a true gardener! Thanks again for hosting these events and thank you for being so very gracious about it. All best, Debra
