Posted this on the chat thread so thought I would post here too.
This is a post Ella made earlier and is very important for everyone to understand this part because it can be a little confusing. If you aren't sure you understand something just ask and someone will help make it clear.
Quoting:IMPORTANT..... Before I forget to the regulars and the newbies and any Survivors. Remember Tuink's list does not have any restrictions. Post on threads first, but MAKE SURE YOU SEND HER CMAILS!!!! When she gets a chance, she willconfirm or to make sure she has also got your confirmation, you can check her Trades going out section when she does it. PS. Anybody still have their gummy pig besides me? Thought they was too cute to eat. LOL
For Newbies and Survivors, oinking from Tuink's list is the only one you can list more than 20 items a day from, but all the oinks to her in one day count against your 100 count total. Her time is very limited and so is her computer time, so for example if there are 40 items you want from her, list them all at once on thread and than send in a cmail. That would reduce your 100 count to 60. For all other piggies it is the 20 oinks per day but you can do your 20 oinks plus whatever you Oink from Tuink all in the same day. The long haulers, have to close their lists early to get their boxes here, Clear as mud? If not , just holler and will show you an example of what I mean.
Also, newbies, you might start practicing you bold keys. When oinking on threads for easy reading we bold the first names. That way you can scroll down easy to hunt for your name.
~~ was in a slight panic when I could not find some of my seed jars [when i collect them, i use old jelly or PB jars]
but found the seeds in fill-able tea bags.
I don't have a lot to offer, but I'll also be dumping most of my "stash" that I have on hand.

I've been trying to decide whether to do the swap this year since I still have so many seeds from last year, but I think I will participate anyway because it's always so much fun to party with all you piggies! One thing great about this swap in particular is that the social aspect/forum chatter of this swap is as enjoyable as the seeds. I don't have much new seed this year due to health issues and the constant rain that caused plants and seeds to rot, but I have a few new things and some seeds from last year. Therefore, I'm going to try my best to be a disciplined "oinker" this year (but I make no promises. )
Good to "see" everyone here at the piggy swap!

I do swap my seeds world wide, but there is no swap for me like this one.
To be honest: I will be able to swap my seeds for the most things I like anywhere, but there is hardly any interaction during those swaps. I love the sociability here. Love the stories.
Andi I enjoy your stories so much , but I also like stories from other participants. English is not my mother language, so don't expect any stories from me.
Now Jonna, don't be shy! If you can interpret what we're saying, I think we should have a chance to interpret what you have to say. No lost piggies allowed! Speak up and tell us a story now and then!

This years Piggy Seed Swap is officially opened. We have plenty of room for more folks to join. Folks may join all the way up til the closing of the swap.
Folks will be joining at different times and there are lots more seeds that will be listed and shared.
Want to join the fun? Sign-up, get your seeds listed and than letting your oinking begin.
Never been in a swap before. Don't be afraid. We have a very warm and friendly group of gardeners who not only share their seeds, but are glad to lend helping hands.
Whoa! How in the world did I miss the piggy starting line?! Well I am here now. I think I will be able to get my list of seeds and other requirements done tomorrow. Hope y'all have been having fun!
Ella's Garden isn't just about gardening. We're a diverse community of individuals, coming together to enrich the personal, business, hobbies, lifestyles, and horizons of all community members. You'll find forums for shopping & selling too!
