Elena, I'd love to trade some of my pentas for some of your dahlia. We can arrange for after the swap when both are actually ready. :)

I sure hope everyone got everything they wanted today! I know I have. Thanks ya'll. The offerings are pretty great and I'm tickled pink!

vma4922 said:Stupid question, but I've gone over all the FAQ's and it says before, during, after, but it doesnt say what happens at 12 midnight GMT....
Where Do I go? To my wish list?
And how to I bid/take an item I want?

Hi Val

I'm sure you've figured it out already, but here's an answer for others:

1. Go to Seed Swap Home page using the far-left, blue menu bar link for "Seed Swaps" - it's a few pages down.
2. Page down, click "DnD's ALL SEEDS SWAP (Int'l)"
3. Click "» Access your wishlist for this swap"

4. In the second column, titled "Plant", you will see some brown-red rectangles that are supposed to be treasure chests. Click that to request the seeds in that row.

5. In some text at the top, it will say "you have 3 tickets". You can remember how many times you clicked, and after three clicks, if you hit "Refresh" (F5 in some browsers), you will see that you have "0 tickets". But you have to refersh to see it.

(Mine says "You have 0.5 tickets left, so SOMEONE grabbed one of my offers!! Goodie!)

P.S. I have a clickable link in my signature block, " ~~ DnD’s Seed Swap Aug 2016 ~~
That will take you directly to Step # 3.
Or you can use this link: http://garden.org/apps/swap/vi...

@KarenHolt - I got my top 3

everyone very fun.....can't wait until tomorrow. Husband asks can we go out for dinner etc. My response I have to be on my phone at 6:00 pm

I had a seed picked out for my second go round but it was bid on.....that's okay it's just not meant to be. I didn't go for daylilies because there was a lot of wishes for them and I'm not picky on them because I haven't really grown them but have collecting a few seeds from swaps to redo a flower bed in the front. Our tulips petered out and needs to be replaced!

Two for the Butterflies and one to Eat !!!

I eat this up

Great Group ..

I think I have to go home now and have a cigarette.

It was good for me!

Yes Rick, someone grabbed one of yours.😉

Karen, that sounds like a plan! And don't worry Jim. I'll save some for next year's swap!

RickCorey said:I think I have to go home now and have a cigarette.

Me too!

Thanks Rick, nothing happened at 8pm per my computer time, so I hit refresh and there it was. I will have to look where the "you have so many tickets left" is! That was great...thanks everyone...great seeds, cant wait to bid on more.

This could get addicting! What do I do when the week is over!?!?

It made me Hungry also .. i might try to light it up later .. I'm sitting here having takeout from local commerce

Jimard, I'm eating some horribly bad bread with cheese and pepperoni stuffed in it. But it's worth it. I wouldn't miss the dibbing for nothing, lol.

Val - When the week is over, we will be sad. We will try to look forward to this again next year, although it's not beyond me to want to do this again before the next season starts... I do have 2 new flowers that haven't been collected yet... Lol. But truly, the packing begins then. You'll be able to print out a paper that has a list of who gets what from you. It's fun. I try to pack as I go but this year I'm behind, so I'll pack after I get seeds packaged. I'm still doing that. Uggh. And collecting but I did finally pull my zinderellas this week. Today I pulled the bombay celosias. I'm going to miss those two this winter.

Karen It is my sister's Birthday , Several went to Applebee's to celebrate ,
Had them bring me back a sandwich and fries

Who Needs to be there at the Beginning ,,???

Lol, you guys! Val, I'm glad you had fun! I hope it was just as worth it as others told you, and then some. I think you are now under the 'seed swap spell'... Don't say we didn't warn you.

We haven't heard from some of our other new members, so I'm hoping they will check in soon here.

Remember that at the end of this swap, I will be taking a poll on how well you liked the timing (of the year) of this swap, etc.

Also, keep collecting seeds, even after the swap end, because you can still hang onto them for the next one. And you never know when the next one might be...

Haha, Jim! Wow, you guys are dedicated! Glad to know we all crazy about the seed swap, although I hope your sister doesn't take it personally, Jim!

Hopefully note you guys can all go eat your fingers, have your cigarettes, or otherwise try to return to life as normal until the next flurry of excitement starts tomorrow night.

Elena I will look forward to the Flowers ..DnD ,,, You will have me watching all the time


Cross posted , I will miss the last day . because of another the same on the 10th ,, so I said no not twice , The birthday today , I see her everyday , and she is not easily aggravated , the next one is ,,

that was fun, hoping someone might post more poppy somniferum....

I will check @SCbuttercup....I didn't get a chance to post my flowers and I'm not sure if I have them.

Which poppy in Particular I have seen the Drama Queen listed as three types rheos , latcitium , and somniferum , I don't really know which it is ,
SC ..if you like it I probably can can do another ?
I have a Drama Queen Pod that exploded while collecting it . it has no wax baggie only a pod in a 2x3 mini baggie if you have a pick left I will put it up for trade , if not , tell me when your here ,, If you want and I will put it on the list .

I'll put some breadseed poppy up if you don't have it cheryl. I didn't add mine so as not to step on toes. Never fear buttercup, we got you covered.

Well, I guess after the week's over, I"ll be busy packing seeds to send off and able to look forward to the ones I got in the swap; then planning next year. I have a terrible habit of overdoing (esp'lly WSing, and started a bunch of things inside) and I'm running out of room, so I'm going to have to pick and choose what I REALLY want to grow/plant, I guess.

I told my husband we need to buy a house with alot more land, then I thought about all the things I've planted the past 3 yrs (dug up most of the back yard sunny/part sunny) and made gardens everywhere I could. NO way am I giving up my gardens to go start again! LOL! Who knew they'd be practically filled in 3 yrs!? LOL! This year my gardens have blooms all over, one plant is done, another starts. This is really what I hoped to achieve. I dont spend much time on the deck enjoying them, I'm too busy weeding, planting, etc.!
I DO love it.

This year I went to alot of containers for things like dahlias, so I dont have to remember to dig them up.

I am having a ball, it's definitely a labor of love, as you all know!
