Interesting guesses, it's fun for me to watch as I've got a rough idea of the total, but not a clue who will win. There are currently two who are closest, but for how long ;D

Cheers Chris, much appreciated.

Arrived today, seeds from Reddyreddy and Rudd, thanks.

If you haven't posted your seeds, its time you did ;D

Hows things coming along? I am at bursting point with anticipation ;D

I feel like a little school girl with her socks falling down and hopping from foot to foot in anticipation ;D

Jayb · « **Reply #86 on:** February 04, 2010, 21:59:57 »

;D nearly there folks, just waiting for one thing and then they are in the post.

mpdjulie · « **Reply #87 on:** February 08, 2010, 16:44:28 »

Have they been posted yet? - I can't wait to see what I get ;D :D ;D
Thanks for organising this and for everyone else who took part as well

I’ve been waiting for a package, but suspect it may be lost :'( Although I’m keeping fingers crossed it will just be very late.

So rather than hold the swap up, as some are getting very itchy fingers ;D I’ll start sorting and packing later on today and hopefully all will be posted tomorrow. I’ll post to confirm though and who was closest with guess how many.

I hope so too as it was so kind of her to send it all that way, would be a real shame if it was lost :'(

Jayb · « **Reply #91 on:** February 09, 2010, 20:51:51 »

Unfortunately we fear it may have gone astray.

I totally agree, Jeannine is tops :)

I hope it is just a case of slow international post and if/when it arrives I will either divide and send on or as Jeannine has suggested arrange a round robin.

Hi Guys, panic not!! I have just packed up another pile of seeds. I am sending two seed catalogues which it says on the envelope...please read each page carefully..right to the end!!! Guessing as I have closed it but there may be 40 types. Not a lot in most as I cleared out a lot in the first posting but enough. There is also a decent sized packet of mixed tomato seeds. I repackaged all my collection a few weeks ago in new bags ,I did on a flannel sheet on the table. After I finished I picked up the escapees and bagged them, they are all heritage, all colours and shapes, some quite rare so I have sent them on to you just for a bit of fun, thought you might be brave enough to have a go and show us later.

Anyway this envelope is going off first thing tomorrow, should be about a week. I don't expect any trouble as it does not say seeds on it which the first one did.

Have fun with your swapsies

XX Jeannine

PS I went to a garden center today to find some unusual ones but they only had the small sized packets,and it not worth getting them. I am going to the company who makes them later this week as it is in Vancouver. I shall send some seeds over to someone then maybe for a swap or something.

It is West Coast Seeds if anyone wants to look it up.

I shall be picking up Tyee spinach for the couple of folks that wanted it also Shasta Cauliflower which grows well in the UK.

Take care all. I am so jealous of your large lotties I could swear.. oh eck...knickers!!!

Thank you Jeannine, what a shining star you are :), your generosity is faultless.

Jayb · « **Reply #94 on:** February 12, 2010, 09:13:37 »

Well wow, took me longer than I thought :o but all done Yaaay and I’ll be off to the PO a little later today.

A big thank you to everyone taking part and particularly those who sent spare seeds, very generous. I’ve bagged the spares into smaller lots and you all have a selection. I have some of the more common seeds left over, which will be add to a swap and I’m also hoping some will go to a local school.

Thanks all

Thanks Jayb for all your hard work, it is appreciated by us all. Looking forward to getting our parcels ;D

Yes a very very big thank you Jayb. Love the surprise element in all this too ;D ;D ;D

Jayb · « **Reply #97 on:** February 12, 2010, 17:17:52 »

Right, as I almost forgot and had to re-open the envelopes :-[
Who was closest with the numbers game. 2 winners, first with the tomatoes, Philips 66; and Chriscross for the chillies!
Well done both.

reddyreddy · « **Reply #98 on:** February 12, 2010, 17:40:33 »

so at 60/40 I wasn't too far off! Looking forward to it x

Jayb · « **Reply #99 on:** February 12, 2010, 20:32:28 »

An excellent guess and closer than I would have been. You were so close with the chillies ;D along with Lottiedolly, I even checked it 3 times!
