2024/2025 arrivals and departures

First arrivals...

CA Ha G
FL Ne J

I think that there were 2 or 3 participants that I didn't get packages out to in the last swap. Right now my 2023-2024 paperwork is mixed in with previous years paperwork, which means a big, often undated mess. My solution is to now write the arrival date on everything that comes in. And, I can write, with no more hand cramps. I think that the electrolytes were the cure.

At least 2 packages never arrived, here, one from OH, the other WY. Both of those did not get packages sent back out, not because I'm cruel, but because I didn't know that I didn't send them out. I had no recycled bubble mailer to look at.

I have to look up the WY wish list which may contain Egyptian walking onions, that I didn't have last winter, I should have some in a few weeks.

And the biggest thing is that I need to come up with an emergency set-up, where I can work standing up, if my back gives me issues.

Before you move on to the 24/25 swap, wondering if the remaining 23/24 MMMM mailings will be sent out soon (for those of us still waiting)? Reason being, I’d like to place seed orders in early Fall, and the orders will depend on what comes in from the MMMM. If not, then anything on last year’s Wish List that would fit in an envelope would be much appreciated. Thnx.

My bad, as I completely lost track of the last few participants while winding down the swap. I thought that there was one Canadian that I missed, and discussed, with them, not shipping a package this year, because they were moving and were not going to have a garden. Apparently, that was not you, and there were two Canadians.

So, I will go through your wish list (I stopped deleting them at some point, when I realized there were going to be a few people that I will miss with packages, and I don't know who they are), then go through the current inventory to see what I have left that's on your list. Also, some odds and ends have been trickling in, so perhaps you can update your old wish list? Anything that I have on your wish list will be reserved for you.

I really wish that I was able to hold a pen and write many months ago, as that is where all the trouble came from. Well that, and mixing wish list/correspondence paperwork from multiple years. :oops: A member, here, said drink electrolytes, and that has been the cure for my hand cramps.

I would be that other Canadian ;).

I remember now, that you sent a series of letters, very early.

I didn't have a bubble mailer on hand (that didn't exist), so I thought that I had mailed a package back.
