I can't wait to see what's in my envelope, all this talk is getting me excited!

Well I suppose I could send your package out Loz. hummmmmmmmm, let me think a minute. Lets see I'd be all alone waiting for kenny & penny's envelopes to arrive. Well ok I guess I can mail yours tomorrow Loz. Your pretty close to me so it won't take long for it to arrive.

Oh tammy, you don't have to do that....I can wait a bit longer...I'm just getting excited reading everyone elses posts about their seeds.

That's ok I've got plenty to cover Penny & Kenny even if Kenny sent in 100 seed packets so no problem there. I was just waiting to see if maybe any aquatic or really strange seeds came in that I could add to your envelope. But you already have a nice selection I think. I'll mail them off tomorrow unless my mailman suprises me again and comes to early.

I imagine they will be there by Wednesday.

I got my envelope today! Thanks so much for the seeds, once again, a great selection Tammy. Now I am really eager for spring!

Tammy, I pretty sure there isn't even 50 in that packet! My guess would be twenty or so, you can take whatever you want, I'm not looking for a packet to packet trade so keep what ever you like or give to another member who wanted some of mine, crossing my fingers they will get there tomorrow, I would hate to see it [heaven forbid] back in my mailbox when I open it monday

Thanks for the info Kenny. I have my fingers crossed that they arrive today. I don't want to hear that they were returned to you again either.

Checking in for some news....listen Tammy, if my seeds are holding you up in any way...go ahead and send out whatever you have and i can wait for mine....i just hope that i am not holding you up...whatever works for you is ok with me.

Your not holding me up sweety. There are only three of us left you, Kenny, and me. And I have alot of different types of seeds to choose from your packages when they arrive. Infact I have so many seed packages still that they cover the dinningroom table lol. And that's why I didn't have sitting space when my friend stopped by. I like to spread out. And because I can that's how I've done the seed exchange. Having the seeds spread out all over the dinningroom and livingroom. I could have done it differently and since there are only a few of us left I probably will put everything in a box. I was just waiting hoping that yours would come in soon enough that I could just finish up without the intermediate step. But it's still no problem.

Hi Tammy! Stopping in to see if the mail man brought you anything today!

The meanie didn't bring me one little thing. Not even an advertisement. If my neighbor hadn't gotten mail I wouldn't have even know that he had come by. I guess we have to cross our fingers for Monday. I hope it shows up in my mailbox and not yours.

I did get Loz's envelope in the mail today. So that's one thing accomplished.

I've been meaning to post about this all weekend. On Friday, I got my seed envelope, Thank you Tammy!!! I was so excited and on my way to the last gardening class I've been teaching with some 3rd and 4th graders, so the timing couldn't have been better! I grabbed the envelope out of the mailbox and rushed to the school and opened it with the kids in my class. We have done a lot of seed collecting and packet making and I had packets for them anyway, so this tied right in. They asked if they could have some of the ones I had just recieved and I quickly told them, "No way, they're mine, but I'll grow these things and then I'll collect the seeds and share them with you if you're still interested" Good thing I did have some seeds all done up for them with me.

I am so excited about the seeds that Tammy selected for me. There are even things in there that I can grow indoors, so no need to wait until spring. My daughter thought it very foolish of me when I commented that I never even thought of cactus seed??

That is always the most difficult thing after the Fling. I want room and pots to start one of everything at least. And I don't have near the room lol. But I always manage at least a few. Good luck with the cactus. I've never had any luck with them when I've tried. Right now I'm trying an epi instead. I love those so I've got my fingers and toes crossed that they work out.

I can't WAIT to get it....I bet it comes tomorrow or Tuesday...we aren't very far apart.

Mel your excitement is catching! It sounds like you got lots of goodies there to plant....

I know just what you mean Mel. It is so darn exciting to see the packs from all over the country. My garden is going to be so awesome next year.

Loz, you always have the most awesome zinnias, when do you plant your seeds and how?

Well I have company coming over today so I finally got all the Fall Fling seeds into a box lol. I can procrastinate with the best of them sometimes. I had a bad night with this silly tooth so I've been up for just about forever. Hopefully the medicine I just went and got will fix me right up and I'll be feeling well again soon.

Hey Loz, I bet your right. Your seeds should be there within a day or two. I hope you like what I sent. I think I doubled up on some things, because the meds I was on there for awhile really made me foggy. But they work as trade goods anyway lol.

Hi Triss, I hope you will do pictures from seedling right on through until they are mature plants. You know I love pictures. Even though with my computer it takes them hours to load. Well maybe not hours but a long time lol.

Fingers crossed today Tammy....i hope they get there~~!

Guess what I just got!

Cool.

I love how roflol used change wrappers for packets...that was too funny, and an idea I might have to use in the future....

I still can't get over ALL of these seeds!

Now i want mine

glad you got your seeds Loz!
its so exciting! i still keep peeking at all my seeds! i cant seem to stop!

Its addicting isnt it Sibyl~~!

Hey loz did you see that I managed to find one pond plant seed packet for your pond? When that came in I knew that you were the one that would get that packet.

Well I'm going to try to be awake for the postman today so I can ask him about the canadian packages and having a address unknown stamp put on one. Grrrrh. Do I sound scary? Probably not, I'm a push over.

Your seed envelopes are pretty much made up so I may just send them on. I don't want you to have to wait until your hip deep in snow before you get your seeds. That wouldn't be nearly as much fun.

Thats ok Tammy....you go ahead and do whatever works best for you....works for me!
