What happens to the seed in the boxes when they finish? Do you all divvy it up or have you put together list of wants for the end?
DJ'S SEED ROBINS IN FLIGHT PT 4
DH bday celebration last night. So now my time is dedicated to the Robin. Can't wait for it to arrive - should be here today or tomorrow. I'm so ready. We finally have a bit of winter so I have been winter sowing. My first year so who knows what I'll end up with but it is such a mood lifter in these non gardening months. Happy Gardening!
Momr , as minn said there is usually just one robin , but this time was 2 so yes there are more seeds i started them both with the same amount of seeds about 200 pks ea ,
i just ask everyone to take what they can use & add any thing that is not already in the robin.
if you do not have anything different Don't worry about putting in .
as for what is in there i have no idea when they get back here i will go through them remove what i can use , any extra's i will share with others who would like any
well daddy is 99 today he has been signing all morning . except while eating his oatmeal :)
ya all have a great day

I knew the Robin was going to show up today. I was so disappointed when I went to the mailbox and nothing was there. As I reached the end of my street, the mailman turned the corner! I pulled a u-turn in the middle of my street, then drove back down to my house and backed into the driveway. Once the mailman made it to my house I was dancing next to my mailbox. I was not able to check out the contnt but at least the box is here!!! LoLI will be able to go through it and get it to the PO by Saturday. I can hardly wait to get home!!!!
DH brought the mail home and the Robin has landed. As soon as we eat I will be busy.....seeds dancing in my head....can't sing and too excited to worry about it. I will let you know when it leaves. It's a really heavy box!!!!
I would love to join in, but after I mail my SSS box, I'm tapped out for a few months. I already plan on being apart of the next one. I have really enjoyed watching this. And I've been caught dancing next to my mailbox a time or two myself. My mail lady finds it funny.
ty for the Up-date ladies Just sit back & Enjoy :)))
These Robins are about NECK & NECK Now :)
AS I SAID If You have Nothing New to add do not feel you have to add Just take what you can use .
well off to get caught up . ya all have a good evening .
three more...THREE MORE!!! Doin the couch wiggle :)
George (ansonfan) the Robin is leaving here and heading to your house in the morning and there is Pink Fuzzy Bean in there!!!
Susie I will send you the confirmation number.
There are a lot of seeds and I was trying to be reasonable but I think I still got carried away. What fun. I was disappointed that I had to look up some of the same ones that I looked up with the last Robin.
Susie this has been so much fun, thank you!!!
We have actually had a very mild winter. It snowed a little last week and some today. Our ski resorts in Idaho (I live 5 miles from Idaho border) just opened last week, latest opening on record. I'm afraid it is going to try and make up for it this Spring. I've been lurking on a daily basis, just forget to post very often. Very excited to see the box again!
My older sister live out in Viola IDAHO Just talked to her sunday & She said they had like 5ft driffs Our snow is gone after the rain the other night .
WOW Donna you was Quick :)) ty for the up-date Heads up George you may have it by SATURDAY :))
well time to sign off for the night you all have a great evening .
susie
Karen, (Bluespiral) thank you for my goodies. You sent several that I had on my want list for quite a while. Thank you for your generosity.
Susan (Gardenseeder63) some day I want to be as organized as you. The way you had your seeds labeled and stapled together was so easy to see and take a pack if you wanted. Good job and thanks for sharing.
We are having a little cold snap here and I feel safe to start winter sowing with my new stash of seeds.
Thanks to everyone for sharing.
Donna
Susie and George, the confirmation number is 0310 2010 0000 9915 0254
with a guaranteed delivery by Monday.
WHAT??????
Well, says the nice little lady, they don't count Friday and Saturday in their guaranteed delivery. I'm not sure why and she didn't know.
I asked if it would be any different if I took it to a main PO, 15 miles away and she said NO, don't waste your gas.
Why did I shoo my family away after supper so that I could devote time to the Robin if it is just going to sit in the PO for 3 days? Yes, I'm a little steamed.
George, the lady said that we could "hope" that the box is delivered Saturday :)
I gave it my best and honestly the Robin is full and bulging with wonders. I had a great time with it.
Donna
Ah...it is getting close to me. I think I am more excited about getting in on the tail end of West to East than I was the first time...maybe because I am beginning to sow. Fun stuff!
I know you all are excited to get the Robin. If there is anyway i can get it to the PO before Saturday I will I promise. With my job I am not close to a PO and the PO is either not open when I go into or closed when I get off from work. I have the box packaged up and ready to go, so Saturday morning she will be on her way!
DONNA THAT IS A OK NOT TO WORRY ,
TY Anita that is not a problem the robins are moving along pretty good faster then expected :)
time to get super going then i hope jim will be back so i can go out to the house I've been in here with daddy alday
well ya all have a great evening i'll be back later
susie
Thank you thank you Donna. I'm really excited to get that robin here. I haven't been online today, I have been steaming carpets all day and I'm bushed, but I knew I'd better check in to let you know I'm here. Saturday would be great, but Monday's ok too. It still feels like christmas don't it :).
I look forward to diving in and by then I hope the house is all back together. I'm starting to love wood floors more and more.
Anxiously waiting!! These boxes are moving quickly!!
Considering my guess of a March finish date these Robins are
really flying around. On one swap a few years ago my guess was
way to early. Now I'm weeks over the finish line :(
To the two folks down the line from me in the West to East robin - George and Alana - I've sent you two a dmail & cmail respectively.
Donna - you're welcome - sometimes when so many things are going wrong, if just one small thing goes right, it can make a huge difference. Well, nevermind what's going wrong for me, but just know your thank you made my day.
thank you bigtrot for your kind words i really tried, blessings susan
Carolyn,
I forgot to thank you for the dish towels. My gosh they are so cute
and fit in really well with my winter-time accessories. I'll try to post
a picture when I find my camera.
Cris
Your'e very welcome. I was glad you liked them. I neglected to thank my benefactor for the linen towel as well...... Thank , Susan.
