*Please have email and zone available in order to be added to adoption list...thanks

wow we are almost half way to our goal of a hundred!!!

special thanks to all those who adopted this week...you guys are so kind and generous...thanks

wow donnaky you got swiped up quick lol...i have been told that bcskye sends great seed packs, as does all our adopters...but since you emailed me personally and i said i would adopt you, if there are things left on your want list after bcskye adopts you please let me know and if i have i will as well share to. i try to keep my word :)

due to a very generous donation from tod65 and i am sure there are a ton of seeds due to the amount of the sasbe...i will hopefully very soon be able to adopt alot of you that are requesting veggie and herb seeds. i want to especially thank todd he only required i pay postage and gave me his inventory of seeds...very generous of him to do that. and i want to recognize the fact that alot of the seeds you will be recieving will be because of his generosity. so thanks todd for your kindness!!! I also believe in the power of prayer and due to a illness not specified is why todd is giving away his seed inventory. so i ask that each and every person on here say a prayer for todd for his health. again thanks todd :)

Will also adopt thecollegekid.

Can't send donnaky an email because she doesn't have one listed. If she will send me one, I'll get back to her right away.

dawgboy and donnaky please provide a email within the next 24 hours so you can be adopted. if you do not provide a email in the next 24 hours you will be removed from the list and at which time you provide a email i will happily readd you to the list...thanks so much.

I am happy to adopt lashawn...will email her.

Annie

Alexshrugged let me know that she received her shady flowers seed package. May they all sprout and thrive for you, Alex!

A hearty thank you! I got bcskye's generous package today. What a blessing to have these 13 varieties for my garden. Every one is something we will plant and eat. :D
I appreciate her generosity and the work this forum does for us all. Thanks so much from my hubby and me.
Kathy in MN

Thank you again. I will make good use of them!

kolett66 so sorry you requested to be removed from the list, however i will be recieving a big pack of veggie and herb seeds very soon. so what i would like to do is for you to get what you have ordered and then if there are other things you want please let me know and i will adopt you. i just have not had the seeds to adopt you or i would have happily done so. just let me know...from best i can tell there is going to be a wide range of seeds, so get with me via email after you figure out what else you may want.

kchd would you be more specific as to native plants for your area so that we may adopt you...i for one have no clue what is native to where you live, but am sure i have many things you can grow there. so just add some specific things you like...thanks :)

one more and we are to the BIG 50 and halfway to our 100 mark. bcskye thanks so much for your numerous adoptions and thank everyone who took the time to adopt and so generously give and who continues to support this thread.

Received my seeds from ymaddock and I am so happy! Thank you very much!

Donnaky, check your spam folder. I sent you an email and got no response You can email me with your address through Gardenweb by going to My Page and clicking on the appropriate tag to email me if you need any specific veggies.

Thecollegekid, I have a package ready for you, but still need your snail mail address. I sent you an email several days ago and a request for your address on here as well. They say the third time's a charm.

Why sure, I can be more specific. I left my request open to "native plants" to keep from being too specific and restrictive. My main goal is to increase biodiversity on a 25-ac plot of land. There are literally tons of plants native to my area. I would accept anything native to the southeastern US region, including forbs/wildflowers, grasses, shrubs and trees. And I sure wouldn't mind any suggestions from fellow gardeners of some of your favorite plants to consider.

Grasses
Andropogon spp.
Panicum spp.
Panicum virgatum
Sporobolus spp.

Trees
Acer barbatum (Acer floridanum)
Prunus alabamensis
Prunus americana
Prunus angustifolia
Prunus caroliniana
Prunus umbellata
Diospyros virginiana
Asimina triloba
Quercus pumila

Forbs and Wildflowers
Impatiens capensis
Helianthus spp.
Lilium superbum
Lilium catesbaei
Lilium michauxii
Lilium philadelphicum
Arisaema triphyllum
Trilium spp.
Native asters
Echinacea spp.

Vines
Bignonia capreolata
Lonicera sempervirens
Aristolochia tomentosa

Shrubs
Rhododendron spp. native azaleas
Ampelaster carolinianus
Illicium floridanum
Morella cerifera

I received my seed package from bcskye. Thank you!!

I will adopt lysa39~ Lisa

I am a newbie. I will be starting my first garden this spring/summer in my very first green space ever. Very exciting! I want to grow edible fruits, vegetables and herbs (eventually fruits bushes/trees and nut trees) as well as grow plants that will attracts bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects to the garden. I need someone to adopt me, not just for seeds for SASE (although that too), but I also for gardening advice- lots and lots of advice. I am in a zone 7/8- too cold to be an 8 but too hot to be a 7, also elevation at approx 6,000 ft if that makes a difference. Thanks so much! Please adopt me!! :)

Hi there. I'm a newbie on my 3rd year of gardening. I built myself some square foot gardens last year and in addition this year I'm readying a 45x35' plot for rows. Oh, and a couple of smaller plots and containers. Wherever I can grow something I utilize the space, this is addicting! I'm in zone 5 here in Massachusetts. I want to grow edibles mostly veggies and herbs and some edible flowers. I try and steer away from hybrids. My only option is to buy seeds online and that gets expensive. So I'm looking for seeds, advice and some garden conversation. I'm especially interested in some seeds viewable on my exchange list. Thank you!

tacy m and nick o snow you need to have a email provided in order to be put on the list. you both have a zone but no email. thanks

i seem to be having a problem

You can reach me at snowfallcloud@gmail.com. Thanks for the heads up.

hi, I am a newbie to this site as well as to gardening! I am interested in anything edible! I want to turn my lawn into an edible landscape. I love hot peepers(mild to super hot), veggies, sweet peppers, berries, nuts etc. someone please adopt me. My two boys (ages 3 & 7) will love this. The 3 year old loves plants he can pick and eat right from the yard!

Thanks for the heads up, ymaddox. My email is tacy_m@yahoo.com.

Presently, bakemom is offering 10 seed packages to newbies, here. So far, there've been 5 takers with 5 left to go. Better head over there quick! :)

I am starting a garden for myself and am trying to encourage my son-in-law to do the same. We live on a very limited income and need to grow our food.
I am interested in veg. and flower seed. (especially the old fashioned ones)

I'm in zone 6, looking to grow peppers, herbs, and different varieties of cherry tomatoes. email is ryan.varhola@gmail.com Thanks!

Hi, this is my first year trying out gardening. I rented a city community garden plot. It is huge! 30x24 any help would be appreciated. I would like anything suited for an upstate ny climate...edible a plus.

carolinagirl77,
I sent you 2 emails to adopt you, but have not heard back from you. Maybe check your junk/spam folder? Please let me know if you are still interested.
thanks, kchd

I will be sending LaShawn her newbie bubbler of seeds tomorrow.

Annie

Hi! I'd like to hop in if it isn't too late. This is my first time planting in my yard (before I planted okra in a large pot on my patio). I'm Zone 7B, and I'm interested in anything edible. My email is missreadsalot87@yahoo.com

Hello all,
I am new to this site. I have been gardening for two years now. I have a moderate size garden. I am intersed in herbs and vegetables. I would like to be adopted.
Thanks,
Steve

Hi. Not sure if my last post went through. I would love to be adopted by someone. I am in a zone 7/8 at approx. 6,000 ft above sea level. I would like to grow mainly an edible garden with fruits, veggies and herbs, but some perennials for fun, color and to attract beneficial insects. You may reach me at tacy_m@yahoo.com.

Thanks a million,
Rachel

I will adopt legallyheidi. We share a zone and I have an assortment I think she will like.

I can adopt tacy m. I will email and set it, I could adopt another as well, mostly veggies and some flowers, if interested please email me!

Just a note: It's really not a good idea to openly post your email address here where just anyone can cruise on by and snatch it up. Additionally, I also believe it is actually against iVillage/GardenWeb policy to do so.

Thank you, kchd...I emailed you back :)

I have adopted tacy m. I just confirmed via email

ymaddox-YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!Received my envi today and all will be great additions to my garden. Thanks so very much!

Minmous emailed me that she received her seeds.

I will adopt nickosnow.

Still waiting to get snail mail addresses from thecollegekid and donnaky. Have sent them emails and posted to them on here. What to do now?
