It did help or otherwise i would have gotten a PM from Tammy wondering where the other envelope is

Hey Penny that sounds great I'm looking forward to getting them.

Landofoz I'm looking forward to your seeds too. Hope you get a clear day for the obiedient plant but if not I'll look forward to a second package.

Hey Loz & Penny, you should ask Belinda about missing items and me. And I sent in multiple envelopes too so it got to be rather hilarious. I don't think I ever did get everything in one box. lol.

Belinda was incredibly patient with me and I hope I can do her justice with this Fall Fling.

Sending mine out this weekend TK Still waiting on P Hy Bean vine Their not ready to open yet If still not ready by saturday I'll just mail what I have!

Boy I was getting scared there for a minute thinking I was getting way too close to the deadline. Was happy to go back and read that I still have 11 more days to get my seeds in the mail.

i was sapost to mail mine out this weekend but didnt get around to it till today, my mail lady came all the way up my drive way to ask what was in the envolope! guess i gotta let her know what i mail out in the bubble envolopes,

I send tow bubble envelopes and one came back to me today.........after two weeks!

OOPS! Sorry Tam! Guess I can't count! LOL! (I swear I read the rules and thought I put less than 100 packs in there!)

When I first got it I though I didn't put enough postage on it (I only stuck on a stamp) and now I was about to put more stamps on it, I just realized that I forgot to cover up my address and put Tammy's over it. talk about being over excited!

Kenny,
you only put one stamp on it? i wasnt shure so i put 5, of the 39cents stamps on mine. i should of asked the mail laddy if that was enough,

Tammy, I am here, reading, and still sending seeds, but I am waiting until the 11th hour to see if more stuff in the garden ripens in time.

Tammy,
Did you get my seed packets yet?

Hi rite2u I did get your seed packets. I thought I had posted that when I received them but I might of missed. I'm sorry that I didn't post it. I will try to be more careful. They are great seeds and I'm sure everyone is going to enjoy them. Thankyou for sending them in.

Lorena,

Your seeds arrived today. I'll do my best to get you things on your wish list. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Quick question--I just found a bunch of hairy vetch seeds. I'm using it as a cover-crop to help the soil out over the winter but it has gorgeous flowers on it too. Would anyone be interested in these seeds for the fall fling? If not, then I won't send them in.

Thanks!

I haven't had any requests for it yet. But it does look like a nice flower.

FYI: You can go to the USPS web site and find out exactly how much postage is from zip code to zip code as well as to other countries. I find that my husbands fish scale works well for weighing envelopes.

Sarah
i think the hairyvench are pretty, never seen or heard of em before, if you send em in ill add em to my wish list!
im gonna have to invest in a scale.

Hairy vetch does has very pretty flowers...It grows wild here and can be very invasive, so plant with caution.

Yeah, it reseeds like crazy and can quickly become a nuisance!! I'll toss in a few packets before mailing out the package tomorrow.

sibly, about the one stamp thing, I live in Canada and it's 89 cents to mail to US, I put two stamps on the first one and I ran out and didn't bother going out to get more, usually one is enough to get most things across the boarder. I seriously though for one moment God was trying to say: you didn't put enough postage on it so you're playing with the system, it's a sin like lying (well it wasn't intentional)

The thing about postage as I'm sure most of us know is that if you don't pay it on one end the person on the other gets charged. When I first started I kept on getting notes from the postman that I owed 12 cents postage. That's for the hand cancel that is required when you send a bubble envelope. But that's US rates. The information above is perfect for foreign country rates.

Hay T I forgot to post when I sent mine out.
They went out Monday. U should have them soon.
Let me know when u get them.

Mine are ready.I just have alot of rain.It also seems to rain in my mailbox now that some idiot HIT it.The lid don't close completly& my mail lady didn't put clothes pin back on it or someone stole it off the box.I can't drive to the mailbox today(Well maybe on the quad.........)We got a lil over 5 inches of rain last nite on top of the 15 plus from the other day.

I grew some hairy vetch in garden once& tilled under,but have some I sowed on a patch of grass hubby sat the deisl can on.killed the grass,but the hairy vetch grows there still.its not square no more,but is prettyer than the grass around it.

By the way....I had a BUNCH of fun on the quad yesterday.I jumped a hill and landed in a mud hole...I made it slide sideways in the mud.did dounuts(the dounuts we're cause was trying to empty some water out of a hole..it just filled back up)

Hi Bibee yours haven't arrived yet but I'm sure I'll see them real soon. And I look forward to it. Everything is nice and tidy waiting for the next shipment to arrive. And while I am doing that I have some gorgeous short stemmed big bloom red Zinnia. The really full ones. I got them from the McDonalds over by my church. I doubt there will be any left by Sunday but I did get one bloosom and that made up several packets. I'm thinking I may put one or two in the exchange. But I haven't decided yet.

Hey njoynit, you becareful out there on your quad. I don't want to hear of any injuries. It's been raining here alot too and the lettuce is loving it. I didn't think they would survive this long but they have. The tiny tim tomato plant isn't going to make it I don't think. It only has 3 leaves at the very top everything else has turned brown.
