So i stayed up late last night to open my package and look at all the seeds Smiling I am so thankful to everyone and everyone seemed to do a good job of marking dates on packets and packing really nicely! I really appreciate that and I'm looking forward to winter sowing a bunch of these perhaps this year or 2016-2017 winter sowing year Smiling Thanks again!

Wooop woop! My seeds have arrived! Let the last of the winter sowing begin, lol. Seriously, today is not the day as we have 40 mph winds and I don't feel like fighting the wind. So tomorrow will be the day. I really have no idea what gets planted first as I want to plant it all! But I'll work on my ws list tonight so I'll be ready tomorrow. Yay me! Thank you so much for the swapping and bonus seeds! My gardens couldn't have done it without you!

My seeds arrived today!!!
*picks up the bag and whirls around in dance*
Heaven... I'm in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek.

Thank you all so much for sharing your seedy gifts!

According to the USPS website, all packages have been delivered with the exception of Jonna's. I am tracking hers through the customs number but once it leaves the US I won't be able to see it's progress. With any luck she will have it in a couple of weeks.

Got mine. Thanks Alana! I really wasn't planning on participating in any swaps after the Beta Swap, but I'm glad I did. Now to figure out what to do with seeds from three swaps. Confused

Jonna's seeds are in Florida, poised to head overseas.

The Hollyhocks from Bluespiral have emerged and so has the Salvia verticillata alba from Jonna. I got a surprise today from the Rheum nobile seeds Pistil sent. I had wintersown them and put the container in a cold room until I had a few ready to go into the unheated greenhouse. When I went to move them out there this morning the Rheum had already sprouted!

If anyone got pelleted Petunia seeds from me and they seem slow to germinate (pelleted Petunia seeds are not famous for their long term viability) don't give up too soon. My older unpelleted seeds sown late last month germinated almost immediately. The older pelleted seeds are germinating now, almost two weeks later.

Well, in the dead of our white winter, a couple days after the swap finishes, & "forgotten" so soon in a cold room, it just seems like an excellent omen for the rest of our efforts to get these seeds growing. This is heartening to hear, Alana.

How are you tracking her package? I asked for tracking at my post office and they said I couldn't get tracking to Belgium!
