Actually, since I don't need seeds myself, maybe help me surprise someone? I sent the name / address for someone who doesn't know Houzz or my screen name and would never think to join a seed swap unless she can see how fun it is first, but she will definitely know it was me that did something somehow if seeds keep appearing in her mailbox, so I'm sure she will call and I can pass on her gratitude.

Please send her flowers, any flowers, especially pink and purple ones, and some sweet peppers for her husband.

Thank you!

@root_grow That is such a nice thoughtful gesture! I love that!

I can't figure out how to edit my post above from my tablet. I just wanted to add one more thing to my wish list.

We need positive thoughts and prayers for our cat Boston. He's 13 years old and he has a slipped disc in his back, which has gotten worse (sometimes his back legs will fall while he's running, bringing me toys, etc.). Mom & I are planning on taking him to a surgeon (after we get a referral) in hopes that they can help him. Please send positive thoughts and prayers for Boston.

Thank you.

Stacy, there should be an edit icon in the lower right corner of your posts. If you don't see one, its fine to make a separate post to add to your wishlist ;-) I hope Boston gets better soon, we had a dachshund who had a back problem which luckily resolved itself after a few weeks of limiting his mobility (it's a serious challenge trying to make an animal rest most of the day )

So I guess I will finally get around to posting my wishlist ;-) its so heartwarming to see that everyone here loves this swap as much as I do.

How would everyone feel about letting Melinda join now ? She misread the deadline for signing up. She's a longtime Garden Web and Houzz member and I think Santa would be okay with it but I wanted to ask everyone here first.

I think Santa's a jolly good fellow with a big heart and full of fun! Besides his deadline isn't til Dec 24, right :)

Sure! The more the merrier!

Would be happy to have Melinda join!

If she doesn't maybe we can mail her surprise seeds lol ? Feel free to mail your cards anytime between now and Christmas. I will wait a few days, then start a new thread for the Thank yous. Happy mailing !

I think there may be a mistake in JQSen's address? I believe the town name is missing?

Hi Angela, I was just addressing some cards a few min ago and I noticed that too, I have emailed Sen and asked to have it confirmed. I will email everyone when I find out.

Just noticed that I am missing the city in my address. sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for catching that.

I have sent Iris the email for my city.

its VERNON HILLS, IL 60061

hi everyone, Can you all check your address list and confirm that you see apoppyfield1 at #4 on the address list ?

Thanks !

Yes, i checked the list and see apoppyfield1 on the address list.

Sent all mine out, last 2 today. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! 🎄 Happy Planting! Kim

The reason I couldn't find my wish list on this post is that I posted under Root_grow's comments section instead of a new post. I think a few other people did also. Sorry for the mix up.

Sent all mine out yesterday. Merry Christmas!!!

I just got the most amazing package from Gary Fitzgerald. I have never received such a generous package. Thank you so much! I hope you are still checking this!

I'm glad that I get a message in my emails for Gardenweb/Houzz posts. That's when I check in, generally getting lost in the maze. I should have clicked on the email link, instead of searching at Houzz. I didn't expect the post , here., as there's another thread for saying thank you.

I hope you have a fantastic garden in 2023.

Sorry so late in response. I also got an amazing package beyond belief from Garry Fitzgerald. I have several containers of starts growing in the greenhouse and looking forward to the variety. Thank you so much, Gary!

Hello everyone.

i apologize for the delay in responding. i have been having health issues off and on.

Thank you for the amazing packages that everyone sent me. Special thank you to Gary Fitzgerald for the amazing package! i am still reeling over the varieties of seeds you sent. wish me luck this summer to get them all planted.

thankful for all the amazing gqrdeners in this group.

sen

I'll wish you good health, and keeping that health, by hoping that you will plant what you can easily handle. Left over seed will still be viable, next year. ;)

Thank you Gary for your kind wishes and words of encouragement. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Lookikg forward to getting better fast and a wonderful summer of gardening.

i wish the same to all the amazing garderners here! 🤍🤍

Just wanted to comment that Iris is planning to make a new post for the Secret Santa Swap 2023 so I figure everyone that had participated last year, may want to do so this year. Hope everyone is doing well!!!

YAY!!! I was wondering if there was gonna be a Santa Swap this year.

Actually , my whole "garden club" is waiting to see if this will happen again this year These seeds were the start of our "swap Box" that we all sift through at almost every meeting. LOL.
