Hi Angela!
Thanks, that's a beautiful palm tree!

I will definitely share my seed template with anyone who wants them. Just send me a PM.

Tammy I got my seeds today and WOW!!! When I asked for zinnias and cosmos I thought I would get one or two packs of them and a few other things to enhance my garden but I got 5 varieties of cosmos and 8 of zinnia. Thank you so much.

The only one I do not know what they are is a package bibbee that look like big round nuts. Can you both tell me what these are?

Thank you so much Tammy, this stuff is just awesome!

Bibee, I got some of your palm tree seeds too...They are pretty neat. I don't think they'll do well outside in zone 5 but I'm thinking about trying a few indoors. Any special instructions for us?
Also, My computer crashed a few months ago, and I think I was supposed to send you a picture of Gerbera daisy going to seed....I never did. I'm Sorry. If you want, PM me your address and I can send you some seed so you can see them.
Sybil...Your seed packs are my favorite. I love the hand drawn packets. Such a special touch. They are lovely! (Everyone elses are wonderful too, but I have a soft spot for home made stuff).

Hi Tammy, any sight of our packages yet? Go real easy on the mail man or he might never have a chance to give them to you LOL!

Just for all to see. This is how I do my templates. I made one up tonight for Sheri. It is grainy cuz I shrunk it but you get the idea.

That's pretty! I'm out of ink or I would've made some up too...instead I was just cutting and taping paper....took forever!

I have to remember to make a bunch up that do not have names or what is included in them so I can send them out when I send cards and stuff.

The only one I do not know what they are is a package bibbee that look like big round nuts. Can you both tell me what these are?

If it's the big seeds they are palm tree.

Tcmers
The only thing i did was planted them. Hadn't
seen anything yet. And the daisy thanks for the
seeds but I got so many now.

Yep the big round nut looking seeds are the palm tree seeds. I got so busy sending them out I forgot to save one for me lol. But then with my tiny apartment I'd never have been able to grow one. I can't even afford the large pots to put them in. lol

Cece you envelope from Canada arrived yesterday. Kenny & Penny no luck on your packages. I wish I knew what to say. It just doesn't make any sense at all that those two packages keep having trouble when everything else is getting through.

Planting Cleome. Direct sow about 1/2 inch deep in full sun and keep moist until they sprout. Once sprouted average water and fertilizer is fine. They are really easy care. And you end up with thousands of seeds lol.

I have mailed mine from our post office and added more postage and they said i shouldnt have any problems this time around, its a week today (friday)....they had better show up ...I've got 30 packs of seeds in there

Hey Penny. Thankyou for telling me the number of seeds you sent in. That way I can begin picking out your seeds. At least that way the turn around will be quick. It is disturbing when something like this happens.

We'll just cross our fingers that today is the day.

Fingers crossed too....if not today then i hope Monday at the latest....they are in a big yellow envelope, and my return envelope is inside with the postage...so if you see a big yellow envelope, you know its me!

Partygirl, Believe it or not your envelope went in the mail today. I'm sending back 103 seed packets. A little less than you sent but you did say I could have a couple so I took you at your word.

You sent in such a wonderful selection of seeds it was very hard to choose just a few. But I managed. I hope you are as happy with the selection that I send you as I'm with what you sent in.

Cece, your evelope when out today too. I guess I was on a roll lol. Now it's just loz and me waiting for kenny and penny. But I know your going to be well worth the wait.

Hey Kenny do you remember how many seed packets were in your second envelope? If you do I can have most of your envelope made up in advance too.

This has been so great. Now I'm really looking forward to doing a big Thanksgiving Dinner. I love turkey.

Hey Tammy....in case i miss your post....whenever my seeds arrive, can you PM me please?

Ok Penny I sure will. You may have to remind me if it takes to much longer because I forget things. But I will try to remember. I'm sure it will be in the next few days.

I got my seeds yesterday.My top favs?
Jelly palm
dogwood tree
Solomans seal
leapord lilly
agapanthus
amayrllis

My SIL wants some of them seeds off that jelly palm.I'd already PM'd you Bibee.she's seen them now.

Thank you Tammy, that was really fast! I can't believe how efficient you are!

I'm thinking about sending you a private email so I can really yell at you, but I can't find my glasses to find the private email button on the screen!

I'm sure the note I sent said, "Take anything you want." There was nothing about "a couple" or "a few". I wouldn't have cared if you had taken 30 packages, girl, and if you can fish the envie out of the mailbox, go do it! Anybody who goes to all the work you went to desrves whatever she can pull out of the envelope! LOL!

Whew. I feel better. >GGG>

Thanks again for all your hard work!

njoynit
I pm U back

I didn't want to be greedy. I already have close to 2 hundred different kinds of seeds in my personal stash. And my trade box is full as well. I guess the garden knew that I wouldn't be here to plant next year so it decided to go all out for me. I still have a number of plants blooming out there. And the coleus completely denuded of leaves is still trying to produce seeds. I don't think it will succeed but it's something to watch their will to survive.

Well I guess it's nap time so I'm all alert for the mailman. Maybe he can suggest something I can do to get penny and kenny unstuck from the world-wide-snail-mail lol. Sorry it isn't funny. It's just when I get stressed I make jokes.

Have a great day all.

Thanks Tammy....i'll keep reminding you so that you dont forget!!

Maybe today will be the day!!!!

Have you tackled that "cute" mailman yet Tammy ...any sign of mine??

I overslept. And he didn't leave me anything! whaaaaaa. Hopefully tomorrow.

You get mail on the weekends??

only on Saturdays. There is no service on Sundays and Holidays.
