I'm sure you all know how it goes. I am still interested. If I don't get back on before Christmas...Merry Christmas to everyone!!! =)

Hi Erin
Now I'll have to call you "SuperMomOfTwo".
(I used to try figure out what the acronym stood for ... Mom Oft W.O.? For a while I thoguht it might be an abbreviated "Mom Of The World" - nice name for a gardener! It really took me a long time to see "of two". What can I say, the simpler, the harder!)
Corey
Yeah, now I have one full time job(the kids and house work) and a part time job that I can get out of the house for a little bit. Hopefully by the summer I'll be able to manage them both a little better. lol.

Just wanted to let you all Know that Craig has just Joined this Morning :) No Choice :) so we will have to let him find his way around here yet . & this is his 1st Robin so lets break him in easy :) I have been trying to explain to him but you all know I can be confusing also .
He is proble trying to get his seeds listed that he will have to share so he might not have all that is on his trade page Not sure. so I Think he;'s working on his list & will get it posted for you sometime in the next 2 days.
it might take him time to get back with you . but sure he will .
Mary I wouldn't mind trying a few seeds of the coleus & Sunflowers :)
well my sisters kids & their kids are going to be here soon so I have to get off here back later after they have gone .
its to much for daddy when they all come at once so they all have taken turns coming to visit today so not to tire him to much :) you all have a great day .
susie
Hi Craig!
I looked at "Craig's List", and if you still have plenty, could I have a few of these? Only if you have plenty.
Bell Pepper "Golden CA Wonder"
Swiss Chard
Chili Pepper "Anaheim New Mexico"
Tomato "Siberian"
If you would be interested in rather small quantities, I received a wide variety of tomatoes and peppers in a trade and would split some of them (but not so much the very early and cool weather ones).
See this thread:
Seed Trading: Thanks for the Peppers & Tomatoes, Heather!

Corey
Welcome Craig!
Welcome Craig- this is a fun group of people. may i suggest that you list on this thread what you have to offer. and you can see what people have posted here and chose what you would like.
I asked lots of questions when i first started and everyone was really nice, so dont hestitate if you are not sure of something. I know someone on here will have an answer.
Hi everyone , just wanted to let you know I have everything on my trade list but only 1 packet to trade.(I have alot of variety but small quantity). I am still not sure how this works. is this right- A box gets shipped from one person to the next and when you recieve the box you take out what you want and add an equal amount of something different. it looks like people also do trades on the side and include those in the box as well? Please help me understand - I'm a little slow Sometimes ;) Thanks, Craig
Yes Craig you got the idea. I am new at doing this also and so far it is a lot of fun.
I have took a look at your list and I would like if you stall have
Sweet Hungarian pepper seeds, Yolo Wonder Bell pepper seeds, White wonder Cucumber, Amana Orange Tomatoes, Chocolate Cherry Tomatoes, Hillibilly tomatoes, Mexico Midget Tomato, Tiny Tim Tomato Seeds, Yellow Peach tomato seeds.
Take a look at my trade list and see if there is anything that you would like on my list and I will be happy to put your name on the seeds.
Jennifer
Well long day here today with My sisters GK's who come to see grandpa :) & Their 1st time Feeding my Turkeys

as I say company most the day has me wore out so time to watch the news even as bad as it is .
craig I Leave you in good hands . good night all back for coffee & Chat in the am :)
susie
Hi Craig and welcome! You can do side trades and send them in the robin box if the person you are trading with is after you on the robin's flightpath. Otherwise you can just send them on to the person's home.
Susie - have you decided on the flight path for the 2nd time around yet or is the one at the top the definite one?
Craig, I would love some of your columbine seeds and "straight eight' cuke seeds if you still have them.
Thanks!
Di
Must one be invited to join the 2nd robin? If not, I would like to join. Thanks
Hi STEADY!!
DeeJay (Susie) may not be on until tomorrow. What you need to do is post your WISH list .... and a list of seeds you have to feed the ROBIN when it lands at your abode.
What we try to do is reserve some of the seeds that we have that appear on Wish lists for those who want them.
We make an envy for that participant ... with there DG ID and place the envy with the seeds into the Robin.
Susie will mail you a list (fairly long) of guidelines for the ROBIN.
You should review the posts in this thread and part 1 to see what some of us have for the 2nd round of the seed Robin.
The Robin is presently in the first round.
MARY
Thanks Mary. I will post my lists and wait for Susie's guidelines.
Here is an early thread and the original list of rules, though Susie (Deejay9) may have relaxed some of them.
One rule that has become more clear to me recently is that it really IS important to post something showing you're still around, a week or two before the Robin reaches your part of the Flight Path (12-15 from now). If you were called away suddenly, and someone shipped the box to "no one home", something like 7 pounds of tiny seed packets would suddenly be lost, to the sound of much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. VBut whatever squirrels have access to your front steps would get fat and happy.
Personally, I love it when people indicate on a seed pkt whether they grew and collected it themselves, or got it in trade, and who they originally got it from. I'm looking forward to showing people my garden in the future, and saying "I got this from Deejay, who got it from Merrymath, who got it from LazLo who ...
Also, (this is just me), I like to pre-print small labels, like 1"x2" and put several copies into any seed pkt I add that is big enough for more than one person to each take some of the seeds. Then they can take a label along with the seeds, and they don't need to hand-write the info on their pkt.
The Robin was pre-stuffed by some VERY generous gardeners before she took off for the first leg. When I put her back in the air, she weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and the postage was $19 including confirmation sticker. That was 1,220 miles - from Everett WA (50 miles from Canada) to CA (60 miles from Mexico).
I ~~think~~ I heard someone say that the postage was less now, or maybe that was for a shorter hop.
There are some pictures of the early Robin at:
