Just stalking, as I haven't had a garden of any type yet. Planning for spring, and hoping to join in then! smile

I'm keeping my eye on this one. I save my own Marigold seeds for the garden or I would take that offer. I guess I'll have to wait till something else comes up.

Upon request, I will drop a couple of Cinderella pumpkin seeds into the package. They are great ornamentals and probably the very best baking pumpkin, with a high percentage of quality meat and a very small seed cavity.

I will take the marigold seeds but am actually more interested in the cinderella pumpkin or the metki painted serpent seeds.

I have to offer:
green and white stripped cushaw squash
yellow cushaw squash
gray hubbard squash
red hubbard squash (seeds still in squash)
blackeyed susan
mixed hollyhocks

Algopurple, your seeds went to the post office and were mailed yesterday.

$1.75 for postage!!!!! I don't like these new postal rates. The clerk told me that a padded mailer had to be processed as a small parcel and not as an envelope. Well, at least if it is getting hand processed, it should arrive in good condition.

Those of you who are planning on sending seeds for $.38 better make sure that package is flat. I was sending pumpkin seeds, so I figured they would have to be padded, or the post office would crush them. They'd better, by golly, arrive safely after the post office charged me extra to deliver them.

I had sunflower seeds sent to me in a regular envelope once and they all were crushed. The regular letters are processed in machines that use rollers to sort them faster and thats how they get crushed. A padded envelope will be hand processed all the way. It should be safe.
Last year when I did seed swaps, I never got them shipped for less than 1.75 most times. Regular postage is .44 now and is going to go up to .45 Jan. 23rd.

Got your seeds today! Wow! No wonder postage was so much lol. You went above and beyond anyone else I have ever swapped seeds with. If you ever want anything I have, I will be sure and return the favor. Thanks.

I am confused I'm not sure how this works. Do you want some okra so I pick two from you? If so I would love the Love in A mist and the cocks comb please. Do I PM you my address and you will PM me yours? You will love the okra it is awesome. It stays tender even after it gets large. I pickled a bunch last year and it is just so yummy !!! It's a heavy setter as well started early and kept going to frost
