I'm sitting in my favorite chair with a lap full of seeds right now, just the thing on a very dim rainy day. Thank you all for saving and sharing, and thank you, Lisa for making this perfect seedy day possible!

Mine arrived today too, though I made myself go out and finish decorating the church before I looked at them. But I should have time to pore over them this evening. Many thanks, everybody! I'm definitely in the Christmas spirit now!

I just retrieved my packet from the mailbox - thank you, Lisa, and everyone. Best Christmas present ever!

I won't be able to open it until tomorrow, so I'll get more specific then. We are going to have a FREEZE in Central Florida (!) for the next couple of days, so I am going to be busy this afternoon harvesting some veggies and covering loads of plants. Then choir practice tonight, and will be dragging myself off to bed after that!

Apparently mine's in Manchester Connecticut, and will be delivered today. Eek. I hope that's wrong, lol.

Now it's in Memphis, so it is getting closer. Shouldn't be much longer, now.

The freeze did a number on my plants - glad I harvested, and covered what I could. Winter vegetables took a beating but will survive, not sure about the banana tree though. :(. We had a freeze last year, too, but it was shorter and later in the season, so I was still getting tomatoes in January. Not this year!

Deciding to make lemonade from lemons, I planted a bunch of the seeds today from the swap that require cold stratification. Cold strat in Florida usually means I have to sacrifice food space in my refrigerator, so I decided to take advantage of this nighttime cold and winter sow some. I planted alstroemeria, roses, hellebores, and a few others I "bought" in the swap. If this works, I am going to have a beautiful garden. And I will commit to finding better ways to protect things from sudden freezes here!

Mine arrived Tuesday while I was away. Yippee! I meant to be ready for the fern spores, but somehow, I'm not, yet. Rolling on the floor laughing
No worries about any missing seeds. I have plenty. I hope Jess is okay and that she touches base to let us know that she is, soon.

Sooooo - as I contemplate all those packeted dreams from my fellow seedy enablers, I know I'm looking at this year's coming garden and as the Amish say, 'Everything will come 'round right'.

With much appreciation, thank you All.
