Today I guess 113.

I guess 183 today.

My guess for today is 146

How about 108 seed packets?

I'd love to participate...quick question, I purchase a lot of seeds from the Sample Seed Shop, her packages are very basic brown envelopes, is this acceptable for this SWAP? If so I'll post my wish list and sort and mail my extra seeds this weekend!

Boggardener, Everyone is welcome here! Please read the rules of the swap carefully. I'll email you my address.

Lisa

Good morning,

I popped on this morning to announce the winner of the guessing game. I had looked last night and was going to let upteresa know that she won BUT I went scrolling through the thread to be sure I didn't miss anything. I see that she edited her guess after I had looked last....yikes!

Dawn, you are actually the winner with your guess of 153 packets. There were 151 packets on the table. They are the seeds that this seedaholic has ordered/purchased this year. I'll throw in a packet of marigold flagstaff or zinnia old mexico "take your pick> from your wish list as the prize for the closest guess. Please post here and let me know your choice.

NEW GAME:

I will post a pic from my cell phone in a minute. This will be another guessing game, same thing, tell me how many packets are on the table. These are the 2012 seeds that I just had to have and hold onto last year because I was sure I was going to grow them...yeah right!

I plan on doing some winter sowing and as I do, I will list my leftover seeds from 2012. They could be full packs because I really liked it and bought two or just a few seeds left. I will allow one pick, per day, per person, this will give everyone a chance at something. These will be bonus seeds. I apologize to the veggie growers, they are all flowers!

Atravers, your seeds made it here.

I like my guess from the last game. 101.

Good Morning Ladies!!

Ishareflowers ~ you are turning me into a major seedacholic because I want as many seeds packets you have now :) I learned a new word a few days ago called SEEDUCTION.

My guess for today will be 127

Wow. I actually tried to count the seed packets. Lol. Thank you so much. I enjoyed playing. My pick is zinna old mexico. Thanks. Can I play this new game also, if not I totally understand.

Dawn, the game is open to all, you won fair and square.

I will tell you that every bag you see has more than 1 packet in it.

Lisa

That should be a lesson to me, go with my first instinct. Congratulations, Dawn! I'll guess 150 again, LOL.

I will guess 215

I'll guess 153.

I'll guess 307.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Please count me in for the swap.
I'd like to guess 138

Good morning,

Welcome Herbal, Please email me for an address when you are ready to mail. I'm assuming you read the rules carefully and know that you will need to send in original packages or copies of. If you want to send in 2 packages of the same thing, I will only need a copy on one of the packets for verification...Thank you :>

Naturegirl, I will revisit your list :>

WE HAVE A WINNER, UPTREASA! I'm so happy I posted how far off the closest guess was yesterday. I cant believe that she hit the nail on the head with her guess of 261 packets! I thought Dawn was going to win again :)

Treasa, would you rather a packet of lettuce red sails or cucumber satsuki midori?

I'm going to list seeds that I have finally gotten around to winter sowing and have extras of. These are all 2012 commercial and will be considered extras and not counted towards your totals.

I ask that you want to grow what you take and not to trade, I could trade them myself but would rather gift them to someone who really wants to grow it.

As I was looking through these extra packets, I realized that 90% of them are annuals that I cannot sow until March,1st when I start heating my greenhouse. I'm sure this happened because I planted all perennials first and tired of seeds/ sowing by annual time.

Is anyone opposed to pushing the mail home date to the second week of March. There are lots that I want to plant BUT there are too many seeds for just 1 person to sow.

The only way to be fair is to let each person pick one packet per day.

aster- giant princess mix

veronica- gentianoides

catchfly- carmine pink

amaranth-joseph's coat

scabiosa-black night

bergenia- red start

bergenia-red beauty

rodgersia pinnata-I have tried 5 packets of this and failed!

strawflower mix x 3

lychnis-maltese cross

emilia javanica- tassel flower

cosmos dbl. click mix

bergenia - rose

verbena- Tuscany white

zinnia- peppermint stick

yarrow- summer pastels

I should probably mention the extra postage too. If you are going to be picking extra packets you need to send extra postage to cover them. I ALWAYS return any extra postage $ sent with your return package.

That's it for today.

Lisa

Lisa, the second week in March is fine with me... of course.

The Joseph's Coat Amaranth is one I could probably plant where I'm going, because it says it likes heat. Thank you for your generosity.

Sheri

Congratulations Uptreasa! Sheri, I will take zinnia-peppermint stick. Also do I need to send extra $ since I have those others seeds coming to me? March is fine with me also. Thanks.

Dawn

I pick bergenia red start. I've had another color for 25+ years and would love to try adding a new color.

Sheri, the Amaranth has been added to your package.

Dawn, I am giving away my extra commercial seeds. I'll add the peppermint stick zinnias to your package. I think you should send xtra postage. I have a lot of collected seeds from your list that I will send if a commercial packet doesn't come in. These DO NOT count towards your swap seeds, they are freebies. If you don't care to receive wish list collected as extra please let me know.

Lisa, you are the boss. Mail out whenever it works for you.

Happy Sunday!

Annie

Lisa, I would love to try the Giant Princess Aster mix if my postage covers it. I think that I have an extra stamp sealed in my envelope ready to mail tomorrow.

I've love to try the scabiosa-black night. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Midwest, I would open that package and add a couple more stamps. I send back any stamps/cash that is not used.

Lisa

Thank you!! I did a little calculation on probable possibilities with your great clue. It worked! Thank you! I would like the Red Sails Lettuce. For my other pick, I'll choose the Cosmos Double Click Mix. I sent my package on to you earlier. I should still be good on postage, I think.

Hi Lisa,

I'd like to try the summer pastels yarrow please

THANKS MUCH!

Treasa, when did you send your package? I only have packages from Panhandle,bluee, Erica and atravers.

I'm going to make a new thread, please post there.
