I am excited to have the seeds on their return journey. Jonna's will go out Monday and the swap will be complete. Thanks everyone, for making this as easy as it could be!
Post here if you like, when your seeds come and let us know what you will be sowing first.

I'm going through my envelope now!
Thanks Alana & Everyone!

@ishareflowers
Okay, I've got to ask... What are these white things in the seed packs? Desiccant crystals?

Mine are here

To everyone who participated! What wonderful seed I've received and all the personal touches . So glad I was able to participate

Hopefully I will be winter sowing all day tomorrow, so many to choose from...first up will be my yellow cleome then the asclepias then the agastache then the salvia then the hosta, oh and the blue porterweed...oh my I can go on and on

my seeds came today! guess what i will be doing tomorow thank-you everyone!

Is Andi okay? I see that she was the one that had to drop out.

@Luvgtdanes yellow cleome ??? Oh Please save me some seeds in the fall I would truely love to try these seeds . or maybe tell me where i can maybe order these ,

Susie I will be more than happy to save seeds if I get flowers and they seed before frost. If you do a google search for Cleome lutea seeds a few vendors will come up. They are hard to come by and hard to germinate. Alana may have some tips.

They came, prepared milk jugs are dripping, tonight I SOWWWwwwww

Thank you Alana and everyone for all the work you put into this swap and touches personal & beauteous & generous & ... my goodness, Dave - efficient!

Hope Andi is okay

Cleome lutea is difficult for me, Susie. I have to winter sow the seeds and once the plants are big enough to move they need plenty of sun and almost no water. Humidity around here is a killer. I jump through all kinds of hoops to grow them. Other people may not have the same experience and I really enjoyed them the two times my efforts were rewarded, but now that I've grown them I don't think I will do it again. The speed with which they deteriorate if I miss just once protecting them from moisture makes it hard to keep them. I can't be home every day and the weather man is too inconsistent to plan too much ahead.
My assumption is that people in the mid-and upper western states don't have any trouble.

Andi has not contacted me.

Thanks everyone! I just got my seeds. Perfect timing since I was going to wintersow tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to sowing the Sisyrinchium, yellow dianthus, anchusa, salpiglossis and Swiss chard!

I hope everyone's garden is amazing this year!

My seeds came in today!! Wooohooo!! I am so excited! Thank you so much for everyone's generosity!

Got my seeds !!!! Thanks everyone for such great seeds !
Three cheers for Alana

Thank you Luv & Alana for the info of the yelow cleome love to try them if any one get a few extra seeds just to see if I'm up for the challenge .
& They look so pretty

My seeds arrived yesterday. It was a wonderful treat to go thru them and dream about where I'm going to plant them. This year I am doing winter sowing in those peat pots. I had so many 2 liter bottle hanging around last year, it was irritating. Especially when stuff didn't grow. I have done some direct sowing this year too. Always refining and trying to improve my gardening style. Sorry I didn't post yesterday. After work yesterday I drugged myself with cold medicine and then I was out cold! I think I fell out trying to write thank you from my phone! The seeds are wonderful. Thank you generous people who participated and sent me seeds! I'd better get serious with these grow lights!
Promise

Danita, the "white things" are pieces of white rice to insure the seeds stay nice and dry. I picked up that tip from Alana a few years back.

Lisa

My package came!


Thank you to everyone who shared their seeds with me. I will be doing some winter sowing later this afternoon while hubby watches football.

Mrs B. Thank you for the fun extra seeds! I have to mail a package out to Jonna anyway so I can send the scrubby ice plant seeds to her with them.

Thank you Alana for hosting.

Susie, I'll send you a private message.

My envelope arrived. Wow what a lot of seeds.
Thanks everyone!

I love that packages are landing around the country. I have Jonna's ready for tomorrow and we will be all done.
Now that others are receiving theirs I've allowed myself to sow some of mine. The Salvia verticillata alba from Jonna has been sown. I've had this before and enjoyed it. I've got Hollyhock "Queeny Mix" sown. The Catananche caerulea alba, Pentas Graffiti Red Lace and Clianthus punicus have all been put in their cozy little sprouting containers. Later this evening I'll sow another round.

So fun to "watch" packages arrive.

@ishareflowers - Glad your seeds arrived, too. No worries about sending the Ruschia pulvinaris seeds to Jonna. She'll soon have a packet of them, too. The ones in your package are for you -- a meager thank you for your thoughtfulness toward others.
