Whatchagot Swap - Plants, Eggs or ? **PLEASE READ 1ST POST FOR RULES**

[therealsilkiechick]

kristina, i'm very sorry for all u and ur family have been through we had an after effect storm of ike hit through clear up here and 2 huge pines(one was 3 trees grown together) fell and we were very close to looseing our whole flock and our friends flock and his 2 hogs.

had the wind been blowing that night the normal direction it would have slammed down on all the animals, crushing all our pens, runs and about 250+ birds. thankfully it dropped the opposite direction but they did fall on power lines and into the road of a 55mph zone and noone got hurt. we have been chainsawing since, oy what a mess. it opened pens to and we had 3 rabbits set free we had to live trap and thankfully they r all safe now and back in pens but OMG, what a scare!!!

my heart and prayers go out to u and ur family in ur time of need i know how scarey the after effects were clear up hear i can not even fathom all ur family has endured through this. stay strong and know u r loved here and take care of ur family first by all means and please be strong. i promise things will get better in time.

silkie

Well I had answered your pm....I said in the pm that it was bulbs not plants. We started having serious money issues and no I could not send them. (I had to sell all my chickens but 4 and I had close to 50) It was unexpected. Now we JUST got power today. We have been without power for almost a month. We have lots of hurricane damage...Gustav hit right on where we live.The Ike came shortly after and messed up some more. My garden and plants got totally wiped to the ground. I'm having a hard time even finding where stuff is planted. Now all I can say is I will send in the spring. I will go buy you new bulbs then. I'm sorry and I hope I don't sound rude but right now we have NO money to spend on anything that isn't a necessity. We had a cold front and my little one needs pants but stores aren't open and we're broke. We have no food in our freezers or refridgerators because we lost it all with no power. Now again I'm sorry...when things are better I'll send some bulbs your way...apparently they got lost in the mail. I haven't cheated anyone here and I'm sure those who I've swapped with can attest to that.

Sew4Beans so sorry to hear what your going through...I didn't forget about your cannas either. I'll send them in spring because they are completely wiped to the ground right now.

Those should be the only 2 things that are owed to anyone but by chance if anyone is forgotten for some reason just pm please.

Again I apologize if I sound rude but my stress level is through the roof and I'm frustrated...I just wanted to let it be known what was going on with me.

I wasn't trying to accuse anyone of anything. Just sad because I was looking forward to the bulbs. I specifically said plants because I wasn't trying to point fingers. Don't go buy anything. Don't worry about it. I know sh!t happens. I know money problems happen. I was just bummed. I certainly never meant to hurt your feelings.

My apologies and best wishes that your future gets brighter and things start looking up.

I know you weren't trying to point fingers. I'm sorry if I sounded rude. I do plan on buying you something in spring when things are better. I owe you that... I understand you being sad and again I am truly sorry!

Well if anyone is into trading seeds or what not. I have Wando peas, marigolds, limas, okra, morning glory, basil, stevia, habanero peppers, serrano pepper ??? , coconut, rosemary, and a few others I can't think of. Im in the far south so I would need heat tolerant varieties.

I have some firecrackers and plain orange ones. I have ALOT of the orange ones. They are a bushy bloom. The firecrackers I only have 3 buds so far. Wanna trade? I've never grown poppy before. Don't they have adorable flowers? You can have 3 of my firecrackers and a ton of the orange buds
