Hi Sandy, I was so excited to find my package waiting for me when I returned home from work yesterday. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I can't tell you how pleased and happy I am with the seeds you sent me - you really did a fantastic job! All your time and hard work is very much appreciated. Matching up seeds to all of our "want" lists had to have been a tedious job and a lot of work! You deserve a big pat on the back! Thanks also to RBRADY and MNWSGAL who sent seeds in marked for me!!! : ) Again...thanks a million Sandy - I love everything and can't wait to get them going! : ) Smiles : ) - Lisa

hahah, I'm gonna be keeping myself in control. I think I will be starting out with citrus and mango varieties for now. The cherimoyas are doing great here. Grows like a weed, I have cut down 2 mature ones in the last couple of years...just was running out of space. But I still got 4 mature ones in full production. I can say, I'm a bit over cherimoya.... they are incredible mind you but I've been cutting out a lot of sugar out of my diet and well cherimoyas are very sweet. I don't eat as much of them as I use to.

Hi there all- Yep Ann- I posted back on the 20th that I had received your envelope- thanks again for the very nice selection sent in! I received a few more envelopes today- Roflol, Clay Lady, Kliddle, and Nan6161! Whew- so many many great seeds you all have sent in! I am using a laundry basket with an alpha-accordion file for the general swap- and individual pocket manila folders for each member- and I am already running out of room with only 13 member envelopes out of 38 members (so far) sent in! That IS a lot of seeds!- OK- a lot of paper too but hey- Shilohyn - how ever many or few you send in is GREAT! The mix is wonderful too. They are sure to be appreciated by those who receive them! I hope I have been answering questions as they appear on the board here- But some of the entries are being "squished" so that I can not read them- It must be time to start a new update thread- but I think I will wait till Sunday if I can. Please feel free to contact me by e-mail if I missed your important question- Thanks- Julie
