If you main on the 27th just use regular mail.

I'm up to around 50 seed packs made and I have about 20 or so more to do!

WOAH, you are WAY ahead of me. I have FIVE done. I do have a bunch more seeds drying but there is no way I will get close to 50.

I have all my packets done, about 70 or so. I am hopeful that there is going to be a part 2 to this swap so I saved some seeds in case there is a second swap. If not I'll just give them out with trades.

WOW! everybodys ahead of me! im still working on my packets. i already got seeds harvested from all my flowers [except my love-lies-bleeding] ill finish the packets this weekend and fill em up,

Tammy
how many people have joined the fall fling seed swap so far?

We have around twenty or so, it is looking pretty good so far. I harvested a money plant seed pod this week. So I may have one packet of those for the swap. I know they are aggressive under the right conditions but I put mine in a raised bed and they were very well behaved if a little short.

BTW if anyone wants to send me a list of the seeds they are sending in ahead of time. That would be great. I'm starting to work on the master list and if I can cut and paste it will go much quicker. We are doing a master list so that if there is a question about a packet of seeds we can get back to the sender to ask them about it.

Tammy,
i just pm you my list, i have this fear of sending seeds everybody already has!

Is Gold Star Esperanza worth sending in? I obtained (coughswipedcough) two pods at a big box store over the summer not knowing anything other than what they were coming off of (plants were full of pods), and they've dried and I just looked them up to make sure what came out of the pods were actually seeds.

I'll save some to try to grow here in pots early spring, but thought I'd better ask before sending this in.

You have a PM Tammy.

roflol, I'm not all that conversant with seeds but I do believe I've seen those mentioned in the plant and flower section as being very pretty. So I'd be very happy to see some in the exchange.

Hi Sibyl, don't worry about duplicates. If I have to I'll send some of the same type of seeds back to people but they will be from someone elses seeds. So if nothing else well be strengthening the genetic mix. So far I don't see that being a problem yet.

Hi Comfrey, I got the pm's and everything is a ok so far. I'm enjoying this very much.

Oooo, I should harvest some wonder egg seeds just in case somebody would want some.

loz count me in please! Haven't heard of them but they sound interesting!

Tammy, I'll send you my list later tonight and I'll resend you the original list just in case! I've run into a little problem so I'm oging to try my best to resolve it with you ASAP...my homework can wait until tomorrow! Just outta curosity, thanksgiving is Monday for us up here, I believe it's in November for you guys down in the states, am I right? (all this time I was thinking how can I send tk all my seeds on the 27 (two week after thanksgiving) and get them back the week after thanksgiving )

Those of use state-side celebrate thanksgiving on November 23rd this year.

TK

Sent you my list.

I'm in Cindy. I have been so tired lately. I just can not seem to get rested lately. I'll get togather a few seeds and mail in. Thanks...I need your address cindy

Belinda...tkhooper is going to handle the seeds...
.......not ME!

Doing something like that would have me so confused I'd probably end up crazy.
(Well...crazier!)

Hi Cindy, I've sent belinda a pm with my address. So you are off of the hook lol. You know I'll take care of you the best I can my friend.

i got 70 packets made! AND MORE TO GO, is it ok if we put a few more seeds in than 20 ? cause i know i lost count a few times, and just threw in a few more just to be on the safe side.

I'm pretty sure you can put in a few more seeds, I know I put in there way more than 20 snapdragon seeds! LOL

Kenny
i did that with my pink and purple clomes! i was useing a glue stick to seel the packets, and just used the lid to scoop em up! much more eaiser

I put purple cleomes on my wish list

Most of my packets have more than 20 seeds--all except for my White Hyacinth Vines....I only harvested 20 of them so I only threw in 15 I think......so I'm sorry I'm 5 short on one packet, but I wanted to make sure I kept a few for myself......

I'm up to around 70 packets made up now too! Still have a few more to make.

I'm sure with something as special as white hycinth bean vine the receiver of the packet will still be happy with 15 seeds. It sounds like everyone is doing really great getting their seeds ready. It looks like we are going to have a very nice selection of seeds.

im gonna package up more purple clomes

Can't wait to see what goodies I get back! I'm so excited about my first seed fling! Just wondering if I'm ok feeling so anxious or am I going whack-er than usual?
