A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2006 Fall Fling Seed Exchange Part II

Well I went outside and guess what. I harvested a bunch of cinnamon basil. I'll get them out of there little pods tonight while I'm watching Grey's Anatomy. I'm addicted to that show lol.

It's almost time for the mail man. I can't wait to see who's seeds come in today. I know I'm such a nut lol.

woohoo he came!!! and Maja24's seeds arrived. Thankyou for the stamps. My friends will really enjoy getting them.

You wouldn't happen to know the seeds american names would you? If not I'll see if I can find them. Otherwise someone is going to have to do some very good research. Or maybe these are the botanical names. I don't know enough yet to be able to tell things like that. I'm not very good at languages including my own.

Thankyou again for participating in the fall fling. I'll get out your package as soon as I can.

Thanks TK for letting me know!

I wrote on the packets the Latin names of the plants, here they come in their English/American name:
Agapanthus africanus (bleu) - African lilie
Agapanthus (white) - African lilie
Carex pendula - hanging sedge
Lathyrus latifolius - Perennial pea

Did i forget one? don't know what i've send anymore, must be getting older

Mine went out today Tammy....we aren't that far apart so you might get them Saturday....I messed up though....I paperclipped $3 worth of stamps inside, but didn't realize until I sealed it that they were $1 stamps.....I was going to put some extra ones in there for you and so when you read my note saying to keep any extra stamps you'll understand why there aren't any extra stamps......Today is just not my day! :rolleyes:

Thankyou Maja24,

I did figure out that they were the botanical names after I posted. Sometimes I'm just not very bright. Thankyou for being so patient with me. And thankyou so much for seeding me some seeds as well. I'm going to so enjoy learning about them and growing them. And my friends Kathy and Janice really love the stamps. Take Care.

Loz, I don't know how often in recent years I've done something like that. Don't worry I've got everything covered I think. I'm just glad we were able to do the exchange. Many wonderful seeds have come in already and I get more everyday.

My seeds left this morning Tammy....so you should see them mid next week.

I mailed mine this afternoon Tammy !

thanks Penny and Angelblossom.

Hey Sybil I received your envelope today with 100 packets. I've been working on it since I got home and have choosen 40 packets for you already. I hope you will be please with my selections.

By the way I'll be sending it back to you in a different envelope than the sasbe you sent. Would you believe they won't fit in that one lol.

I'm out of the hospital - hopefully for good this time. If I can get my act together I want to join the trade please.

thank you Tammy
ill send you more stamps.40 packets!!!cant wait till i get em and see whats all in em

Best of Four
the more the marrier! still plenty of time, we got till the 27th

Sibyl, You don't need to send more stamps. I'll just tape your envelope to the outside of the envelope I use. I get very creative when mailing things. I'm sure the postoffice doesn't love me for it but they do deliver my packages lol.

Bestoffour I'm so glad you are out of hospital. And that you are able to join the Fall Fling. I'll look forward to seeing your package. And I'll pm you my address just incase you can't find it.

I'm excited I've just finished adding some more seed packets to everyones envelopes. So I'm right up there where I should be. I would say that it took all morning to update the master list but it's well worth the effort. It keeps me motivated and shows my progress which is a real boon.

From everything I've read we may not get any hycinth bean vine. So everyone that put those on your wish list be prepared not to receive them. Other than that I think we are doing very well. I even had a packet of aquatic plant seeds come in. I wish there had been more but I was able to give one person that off of their wish list which was cool.

Can you tell how much I enjoy doing this? I bet you can. I'm so happy that Bill let me do this. He's so cool. Well have a good day everyone. I did send out one package today. It was one of the smaller packets but I can't remember who just now. So someone will be in for a surprise lol. hehehe I'm so bad.

Tammy, I'm so glad you're enjoying doing this--you're doing a really great job at it!

I did get (I think) 3 packets of white hyacinth beans in my envelope....just not any purple this year--stupid frost. :p Sooo, hopefully someone will get them that wanted hyacinth vines.

Let me know if my stuff won't fit all in one envelope....if so I'll send you another one with more postage....

Wow Loz! 3 packet of white hyacinth beans, guess I might be able to get some!

Tammy, I forgot to say, I sent one packet and you know how I got one back, I though I would just stick with sending one, but guess what? I forgot to put your seeds in! So I ended up sending you the second package as well! Have you gotte nmy first one yet?

Kennyso, Your seeds arrived today. And I think you will be pleased with your package. It is shaping up pretty well.

I'm surprised they arrived so soon and intact! I sent tiger lily bulblets to another member and she told me that customs got them and destroyed them. Thanks Tammy for organizing this, you should expect another package from me soon!

Hey Loz, Got your seeds today. And you must have heard me all the way over in Maryland hoping for certain types of seeds to come in. Your selection will definitely help fill some wish list items. Thankyou so much for your seeds. And thankyou for the avon as well. That was very sweet of you. The moisturizer is going to come in handy working with the envelopes. For some reason paper always drys out my skin.

Hi LandofOz your envelope arrived today too. And you fulfilled several wish list items too. So thankyou for your inspired choices of seeds. I'll be working on the packets tomorrow to try and catch up with what was sent in today. I think I've done about all I can today.

Your all doing great.

Kennyso,

I'll be on the lookout for the other package. Please don't set your heart of the hycinth bean. I'm going to draw lots for the ones that come in. There have been many requests.

Don't worry about the hyacinth beans, I know how hard it is when there are only a few packets and lots of people want them.

Tammy, I'm so glad that you got my seeds already! I'm even more glad that there were some people who wanted them.

YW for the Avon....hope that you have fun swapping out all the seeds!
