UPDATE: Secret Santa Seed Swap Bingo, and Thanks Yous !!
Comments (143)Jordan and I got to get dirty this morning. "OH COOL" she said when I told her we were going to plant some of the awesome seeds we received. I have been saving up containers to wintersow and we have begun. Jordan loved putting soil into the containers, watering and sprinkling in the seeds...I hope not all the seeds are in once place LOL...oh well she did the best she could. Here is what we planted today: kohlrabi, cauliflower, dill, oriental leaf mix, romaine lettuce, red rock cabbage, freckles lettuce, and as an experiment...Italian market wonder tomatoes and minnesota midget melons. We already did asparagus, leeks, broccoli, garlic chives and alpine strawberries. We will be eating good next year. Again thanks to those who sent us some of the seeds above along with some that will be babied and loved and EATEN next year. I am also starting to save up containers for some of the wonderful flowers sent to us. I just needed to get the food stuff going since this is how I help feed all of us in the summer (6 adults and of course Jordan). It really helps with the finances some and knowing that there is food simply sitting outside the door feels so good. I already have a great corner of our yard picked out the plant the flowers...will have to post some pictures as we get it together. Kym, Jordan has been an exceptionlly good girl this year and is anxiously awaiting Santa. Will let you know when he arrives. XOXOXOXO to all, Kim and Jordan...See MoreUPDATE: Secret Santa Seed swap thanks and games #6
Comments (151)This is such a wonderful swap! Wonderful cards with warm holiday greetings and seeds for the new year! I can't believe it, but I received even more cards! You are all sooooo generous! From Margirta10 came a lovely snowman card with a snowman angel and "BELIEVE" on the front. Wonderful sentiment for this time of year! Inside were packets of Giant California mixed zinnias, white phlox, Pastel Carpet mixed alyssum and Tall Deluxe mixed snapdragons. Thanks so much - I love them all! A Happy Holiday stocking card came from Melinda/ilovefarac with one of my all time favorites --Hyacinth beans. woohoo! Thanks, Melinda! Karendee sent a hilarious card. Santa is standing with a shopping cart full of flowers and long shopping list. On the front it reads, "Seeds 'n Greetings!" Inside were another one of my favorites - mixed larkspur! Thanks, Karen! Funny larkspur story -- maybe some of you have had this happen to you... The first time the larkspur reseeded, it went outside the flower beds and into the yard a few feet from the original beds. Some of them were in such numbers that I went out and surrounded it with bricks so my DH wouldn't mow it down. I told him I was going to expand the flower beds - and that's what I did. Couldn't have had a better reason to expand the flower beds! Thanks so much for all the seeds and warm wishes! ~Kathy...See MoreSecret Santa Seed Swap- Saying Thank You !
Comments (77)I'm baccccccccccccccccccck! Sorry I have taken so long in writing my thank you. Been non-stop crazy here (Vet appointments, Dr appointments, computer died, etc.). Despite all the not so fun things that been going on, your Secret Santa cards helped put a smile on my face. It may seem like a little thing, but to me it's a big thing and I can't thank you enough for thinking of me. Kim (SoLovelyLily), the adorable card with owl & cardinal and the Zinnias seeds. Melinda Hagen, the "oh come all ye faithful" card (that song is now stuck in my head LOL) with Zinnia seeds inside. Iris (ranegrow), the pretty glitter card with Zinnia seeds inside. Linda (roper2008), the super cute card with Penguins decorating the Reindeer and Zinnia seeds. Heidi (Xiangirl), the lovely red barn Christmas card with a few surprises inside...Cosmos, 2 different Gaillardias, and 2 different marigolds (I love surprises). Gary, the Christmas prayer card with Zinnias galore inside. How did you know I like DARK chocolate and to make it even better Cacao? The only kind of chocolate I like. Yummmmmm Thank you again. I can not wait for warmer weather to come so I can plant these seeds with a big fat smile on my face (and eating my dark chocolate). I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and I hope 2023 will be good to you!...See MoreSecret Santa Seed Swap 2023
