The people on this site are THE BEST!

@MariposaMaid, I read your post 3 times to make sure I was not dreaming! I may have missed the thread while trying to bring in plants for the winter and get my seeds organized! How generous! Ok!

That's awesome!

@Samlav Send me your address on treemail and I'll see what I can do.
I think weather will hold for this week. Will try to send as first class pkg so it won't go through the rollers.

Does anyone have October rose seeds to offer? I would happily bid on them!

Ciao all-

My wish list has been historically obnoxiously long and specific, leaning more towards edibles. Starting over in a new climate without raised beds yet for growing a lot of food, I've done a 180 degree turn. This list is mostly general and leaning more towards ornamentals. I'm looking mostly for shorter versions of traditionally taller flowers (like hollyhock, bee balm, cosmos). I like cool colours like white, blue, black, green, bronze, burgundy, brown, true red, and pink. I abhor orange and I'm not a huge fan of yellow. I prefer named varieties, please no mixes or NOIDs. That way I can pick where I want things to go. Thanks for looking!!

Looking especially for foliage and flowers suitable for hanging baskets, also flowers to attract hummingbirds and host plants for butterfly larvae as well as nectar plants for adult butterflies.

if anyone has any berkheya purpurea, PLEASE post it!

or terracotta yarrow. please post that one too

Had to look up the berkheya--pretty!

Everyone, please have a look at my list, I've added quite a bit and will continue to add tonight and tomorrow as I pack up seeds from DnD's swap and redistribute them to this swap.

KelliW,
I found some seeds on my berkheya plant, but am not sure that they are viable since they don't appear as large as the ones I originally purchased. I've added them to the swap list.

thank you so much!!! i hope i can win them!!

@Dave - It's a thread where swappers here post lists of their respective wishes -https://garden.org/thread/view/61535/Wish-Lists/

Also, maybe the other swappers know this - When we receive our lists of who gets which packet they dibbed on, is there a way to find out who else might have wished for a dibbed packet? In some cases, I could split up a packet if there's interest.

Thanking @Dave and All for clarifying these questions,

karen

@Bluespiral Karen right now there is now way we can see who wished our seeds, just how many. Other thank asking there is no way to know.

Ronnie - I understand - and respect all the pros and cons that went into that decision - keeping a group harmonious has not always been one of my talents - so I'm good with whatever y'all decide.

Participating in a swap like this with fellow plant and garden enthusiasts is a gift and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

I may sound greedy but when I called dibs on a package I take consideration of how many seeds being offered. I have from past experience found that not all seeds will germinate even doing as directed for germination. So like on one of the seeds I really want has only 10 seeds. I be unhappy to find my package only had 3 seeds to share with others. And then non of the 3 germinated be a big disappointment. And some seeds I want multi plants for mine and my mom yard. Since I do her gardening now.

So amount of seeds we dib is that not final on our amount to be our seeds packages?? Just wondering how this suppose to work.
Shirley

Shirley you will receive the amount of seeds noted in the description of the provider of those seeds. I don't think anyone was referring to providing less than the stated amount.

I don't remember ever being shorted on seeds in this swap but it is not unusual to find more seeds than I expected! I know I will typically add more than stated (unless it's a weird amount like 14 seeds, you can expect only that amount). Also, if I have two packs of something and only one person dibbs on it, then I'll often give that person both packs.

Karen, if you have enough for two people we just list two offerings.

Carry on - am getting into a time crunch - thank you all for my dibs

I'm really sorry guys but I'm not going to look over these to try and gift things or post a wishlist. While I loved the surprise aspect of the wishlist type swaps I did in the past, it was a lot of work and I found it could be frustrating. Maybe I'm just getting lazy! In the past I spent a lot of time reading all these long wishlists that oftentimes were full of duplicates, typos, or vague entries open to interpretation. Plus, you never knew when you chose to gift someone something if ten other people were doing the same thing or if the recipient already had that plant. Then the host would have to go through everything that everyone sent in and try to sort it all out and make sure everyone got a fair amount, which I always imagined was a monumental effort too. I like the simplicity of this system because I can just put up what I have and whoever wants it can dib it. So please, no one be offended if I don't gift you something extra...I'm just lazy!
