Hopefully it won't take to long. Make sure that I got the right amount of seed packets in your envelope. I'm thinking that there aren't enough. But it could just be my mind playing tricks on me. It does that alot which is one of the reasons why I'm on disability.

I can't wait for you and Kenny to get your envelopes. I love hearing about what you think. I'm trying to make notes so that it will be even better the next time I host one of these.

Have you gotten Kenny's yet? I know you were waiting for those ones too?

Not yet but there is time.

You watch...they will show up tomorrow for you

It better be there soon or else I'm going have to take apart the post office down the street! Glad you got Penny's, corssing my fingers for tomorrow!

Anymore seeds show up Tammy?
Did Kenny's get there?

Would you believe I haven't even left the house today. Let me step outside and see if I see anything.

Ok I looked and there wasn't anything of interest. Just plain old junk mail.

Waiting patiently in -6° celsius weather. Nothing yet. So, today I decided to organize the seeds I got from Parkseeds. I am hoping I will be able to use some of these for trade, but they don't put too many seeds in their packets. I can't wait to try a few during the winter months and see how they do. I will begin with Baby's Toes 'Frithia Pulchra' of which I only got 10 seeds. I also noticed I failed miserably at storing my Dahlia Tubers. They did not die, instead they started to grow roots and shoots. So now I am also growing Dahlia's in my basement.
I wonder if the mailman will leave something for me tomorrow.

Well I sure do hope the last of those seeds get to where they need to be getting.

Tammy, I just LOVE everything you sent me. Could not have done better by me at all. Cannot wait to get this stuff in the garden, it is going ot be so pretty next year!

Hi Cancolgirl,

I guess your package ended up in the same black hole as Kenny's did. I may have to resend if you don't get it by the end of the month. Please keep me posted.

Hey Triss,

I expect to see many many pictures next year. You can even post a landscape layout as soon as you set your plans. I love seeing what other people have in mind for their gardens.

I hope they get there for you Tammy.....what is it with us getting stuff across the border!!!

It's strange because some comes across no problem and then some goes by barely live snail.

We can just hope that it improves with time. As the world gets smaller and smaller internations connections should improve.

so mine didn't show up?

Oh No! They haven't shown up yet (not worried, just impatient) It's a long weekend here and now I have to wait until Tuesday. We are not so lucky as you Tammy, no Saturday mail for us. I don't want to worry you and I think you've done a "Superstar" job here. I can't wait to see what I get.

Well I do have a list of what I sent. If you get to impatient just let me know and I'll post it. Nothing came in yesterday for the fall fling although I did get a back order from park seeds for some dark opal basil and a personal trade from Comfrey for some of her cherry and ivory zinnia. I'm really excited about the strain of zinnia that are short in stature but grow big blooms. Now I have seeds for two different ones in that catagory. One is a really really red and the other is the aforementioned cherry & ivory. I hope I'll hear of more over time and can trade for them.

I doubt anyone will be getting mail today (Saturday) because it is Veteran's Day in the U.S. Hopefully, that will give the mail a rest and allow the missing packages to settle into the top of the "to be delivered" pile!

I hope so. Of course that means that the letter I put out for the postman yesterday didn't get picked up today. So now it will have to wait until monday.

I of course am having a reaccurance of that silly cold so I'm sitting here with the sniffles and the stuffed head and itchy eyes whaaaaaaaa.

Ok that's enough whining. Hope every one is getting ready for the holidays.

I have my turkey but have to get well enough to go get the pumpkin. I'm out of it. Can you believe that?

No mail today because of Rememberance Day here.

I don't think we'll have mail here either. Which is just as well. It's cool outside and I don't even feel like going out there. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I am hoping that you get the rest of them tomorrow

We did get mail today. And guess what...

Kenny yours arrived. I need to send you about another 15 seed packets. So look over my trade list and see which ones you would like most and those are the ones I will send you. Thankyou for the peony seeds and the rose seeds. I can't wait to get relocated so that I can plant those.

I am glad that you got them Tammy....i was beginning to think that it was us from Canada, that we just werent meant to participate

Well I guess it just means we need to start earlier and extend our deadlines to cover the time in quarentine. Or whatever takes so long.

Cancolgirl your the last one left to get yours. I hope they show up soon.

Good point Tammy and its definetly somthing to consider for the next time....having our's sent out earlier.
