Half of them are new to me which is a good thing! I cant wait to grow them! And all of the stuff already grown, sunchokes, cant wait for them! Those are a first for me also!So thoughtful to have such things, started for me already, which take a lot of time, and watchfulness to make them alive! So a special thank you for all of the living stuff you especially started for me!! Thanks again for all of the great things for our 2 swaps together! Christy

Nancy Thank you so much for what you sent me. I feel bad for not sending you any special little extras but I was in such a rush and didn't have a box to put the extra trinket thing in I just threw the seeds in a package the night before in the middle of packing and preparing for my get-away. Receiving your box today was so nice since I have been sick all freaking weekend! She was so sweet and apparently already knows me too well because for my treats she sent me: 2 pk Fall print(leaves/acorns) Pot holder set 1 Fall print (leaves/acorns) Oven Mitt (all of which I need cuz I tend to burn every one I get, but will not use these cuz there special) Pk Fall Print recipe cards Pk Marshmallow Seeds Pumpkin heirloom Baby Pumpkin/ Mini Jack Antique French Pumpkins/Cinderella's Carriage Rapini/Broccoli Rabe Brussels Sprouts Spaghetti Squash Gourds Large and Small Sorts Compact Winter Squash Early Butternut and Delicata Italian Bush Beans Roma Improved Bush Beans Classic Slenderette Wow, thanks so very much. I appreciate them very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I really do apprecaite it. Kathy, I imagined putting Big Max on the back of a PU truck and letting one grow to full size then driving it on down to the local fair as I was typing that....ROFLMAO!!! I am planning on using scrap wood to make the trellis, this year I used tree limbs I cut off of an apple tree that was many years over due for a manicure. They worked okay, was good enough for the cukes but this year was bad on our veggies so I am hoping next year will be better and I will need sturdier supports for everything. :) Fran

It must be an epidemic! I did the same thing. I had Janet's box all nicely taped up and addressed, when I looked over and saw the letter still on the table. I slit it open, slid the letter in and added one more layer of tape. What a brain dead bunch. Pam

Hello Vicky, Please don't feel badly about mistakes being made; none of us are perfect and I think I can speak for everyone here that we really appreciate your efforts to get this Secret Santa off the ground and organized for this year. We're all big girls and boys, we'll soldier on and it will be great. Thank you again for all of your efforts. Odessa
