Still have few left...list has been updated above. thanks

Thank you again!

* miss s
* spacetogrow

Haven't peeked inside the envelopes yet. May need to reach out to you later if I have any questions.

Thanks....Heather

For those who wonder why Heather has to be so adamant about the 'send by' date for the exchange, let me use my package as an example. It took my packet 17 days to reach her from a city, not a town, in Iowa, USA, with all the correct customs forms and the packet taken to the post office, not picked up by a mail carrier, and no major storm events on it's route.

Heather has a very good grasp on how long it takes envelopes and small packets to reach her.

I request the following:

Kohlrabi
Turnip

Today I received seeds from "Hardwaterbob".

Have not yet opened the envelope, so may need to connect with you later if I have any questions on the seeds you sent in.

Thanks.....Heather

hmacdona · November 10, 2012

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update.....I'm still waiting on a few envelopes (not many) and will start stuffing them as soon as they are all in.

It will likely take me a couple of weeks to sort through all the wish lists, have lists and don't want lists and cross reference to the seeds. I work full time, so can only do this for a couple of hours every night.

A friendly reminder that I will be out of town on business Nov 18-21 and I will be unable to reply to email or sort seeds during that time.

I've had a few emails asking me if I would be mailing all the envelopes on November 15th. Unfortunately no, I can't even begin to sort until all the envelopes are in....so the process just gets started at that point. All the envelopes are part of one big pool.

Thanks for your patience. I know everyone is anxious.

.....Heather

hmacdona · November 13, 2012

Today I received seeds from:

* Huntoften
* O.P. Mater

I'm just waiting on one more envelope to arrive. Thanks....Heather

FINAL BONUS OFFER - WILDCARD ROUND

Hi everyone,

I have one last bonus offer to put forward. I'm going to handle this one differently from the prior two offers. This bonus offer will be left open until midnight November 16th (mountain standard time).

Everyone is welcome to reply with a list of seeds they hope for in order of priority. I will be giving priority to individuals that have the least amount of seed packets already set aside for them from prior offers, and on a first come first serve basis to those individuals. In many cases, these would be individuals that were late to respond, but not necessarily.

I am not going to be telling people how many packets they already have allocated...you will find out by surprise when you get your envelopes back. I will apply these parameters from behind the scenes so please don't ask me to give you updates. I just don't have time for that.

After the deadline, seeds will just be allocated on a first come first serve basis period. You never know who's going to respond or what people want, so if you see something you like, just contact me with your wish list. You may or may not get something, but it is worth putting your name forward.

Once again....you need to be fast. Here's the list of seeds available (some in very limited quantities).

Beck's Snapping Okra
Calabrese Trixie F1 Hybrid
Cape Gooseberry
Cowpea Pretzel - needs a warm climate
Eggplant Goyo Kumba
Eggplant Slim Jim
Eggplant Snowy
Orange Cosmos
Sprouting Broccoli
Sprouting Radish
Tomatillo Green
Watermelon Early Canada

Thanks.....Heather

bower · November 14, 2012

Okay, please put these on my wish list:

sprouting Broccoli
sprouting Radish
eggplant Slim Jim

Thank you Santa!

I mean, Heather!
