Pick-A-Peck of Peppers Swap

JJJessee · Feb 4, 2013

I'm a newbie, if you have seeds for one more.
Thanks, Bonnie!

JJJessie, you squeaked in right before the deadline. I will send you a PM with my mailing information later today.

JJJessee · Feb 4, 2013

Thanks!
Looking for the PM and I'll get it right out.

highalt · Feb 5, 2013

It looks like we have 4 envelopes still out on this forum, and I am still waiting on 3 more on the other forums. It's only Tuesday though, so hopefully I can keep this swap on schedule. I will try and get in touch with those whose packages haven't arrived yet, to see if they've been mailed or not.

Received a couple more envelopes. Here's the updated list.

As soon as I hear back from the two remaining participants, I should be able to get started sorting.

highalt · Feb 12, 2013

Okay, I thought I would give a little update, so everyone would know how things are coming along.

I have received all the seed packages. There are a couple of newbie envelopes still out, but I am busy sorting (on a spreadsheet). Some lists are already complete, and just need to be physically sorted and packaged up. Those participants whose packages had the maximum amount of packets inside, will take a little longer, since it's harder to find things that you don't already have. I had hoped to have everything mailed back out by the end of the week, but I can see now that wasn't realistic. I didn't take into account Valentine's Day, and my two little ones have class parties that I have to prepare for and attend.

What I will probably do is send the envelopes back out in small batches. As I have envelopes ready, I will post a list of whose went out.

Oh, and I did place a couple of small seed orders for some frequently requested items, so there are a few envelopes that I won't be able to complete until the orders get here, which should be by the end of the week.

So just know that I haven't fled the country with your seeds, LOL! And I am chipping away at the sorting every chance I get.

I appreciate everyone's patience, and hope it will be worth the wait!

Your hostess,
Bonnie

Thanks for the update Bonnie

Island_Dan · Feb 13, 2013

Thanks so much Bonnie!! You are awesome and your dedication is phenomenal. Thanks again!

jsschrstrcks · Feb 13, 2013

I had to step out of this (and I talked to Bonnie about it), just too much going on right now, and I forgot. Which is my bad.

fiogga · Feb 13, 2013

You're the best Bonnie!!! Enjoy those little ones and the V-day festivities. When they become teenagers you will blink your eyes and wonder how that time went by so quickly!!!! Thanks for the update and enjoy your day tomorrow!!!

Vegas_Chili · Feb 13, 2013

I really, really appreciate your dedication to this project. You deserve to take that time to enjoy with your little ones and that especial day for everyone. Happy Valentine's day.

highalt · Feb 19, 2013

Finally got some packages mailed back out, two from this forum, and two from the other website.

Please post here to let me know when your package arrives.

stickman · Feb 23, 2013

Got your envelope for the seed swap today and was just blown away with the selection. Thanks so much for doing this Bonnie... I know it was a lot of work on your part and we all appreciate it. Cheers!

fiogga · Feb 23, 2013

So excited the package came today, I want to plant everything!!!! Many kudo's to Bonnie for all her efforts. This is the swap I most look forward to, I'm going to need more lights and pots!!! I'll be planting tomorrow, wonderful selection. THANKS SO MUCH BONNIE!!!!! Have a great weekend and season.

highalt · Feb 23, 2013

So glad that the packages are finally arriving at their final destinations! Also, very relieved that everyone is pleased with their selections.

Worked on the swap all afternoon, but most of the packages I finished were for the other website. I did get Zeak's package ready to mail, so it will go out first thing Monday.

The rest of the envelopes only had a dozen or less packets in them, so I think things will move faster from here on out.
