Here it is I think I have just about everything.
Some are mine and some are seeds people sent me.
I know in my heart they dont mind me passing them along.
The reason for this is I simply am not able to sprout and grow out all of the varieties and they need to be passed on to someone who can.
Salt do with them as you wish and enjoy Carolyns Book.

Sometimes, it is difficult to express, "Thank You" enough. This is one of those times.

Thank you Worth.

Thank you everyone who has replied.

Well done, Worth - what a thoughtful and loving gift from the heart. And I know that Robert will cherish those seeds and especially Carolyn's book.

Is this thing wrapped up good enough?
It is in a cuisinart toaster box with packing tape on it and then wrapped again with butcher paper.
Will the post office have a sticker to put the address on?

You can write the address on with a marker or put it on a piece of paper or an index card and either cover it with transparent tape or tape it around the edges. The post office might have labels, but then again they might not.

That is one BIG box of seeds. That was a sweet thing to do. I do hope you kept a few for yourself? Or are you going to do what I would do and start acquiring different ones?

[wormgirl]

Worth, you can just write it on the paper.
This thread warms my heart.

And know that I'd be glad to autograph my book for you without you even sending me the book, that's how clever I can be once a year or so.

Just PM me when it comes time and I'll tell you how to do it.

I want to say something here while it is on my mind.
This is not about me even though I thank you for saying I was generous.
To me it had to be done otherwise it would just be selfish of me not sending them on to someone else.
It was brought up to give them to someone that would have children sprout seeds.
I thought about it and decide not to.
The reason is children need to have fresh seeds and every chance to see them grow, not older seeds that may disappoint them.

Then I thought about people writing an essay to see who deserved them and decided against that too.

My wife turned for the worse and I thought about the seeds and was just too occupied with life to do anything but hold on to my sanity.

The last year we got a pile of folks in like we do every year.
Salt came along in May 30th I think of 2014 right after my wife passed away.

I was going through hell at the time and for some reason I cant explean other than his new found enthusiasm for gardening took my heart away.

After reading his post and knowing what him and his family were like and going through I decided to give it a year and see what happened.

During that year I was able to pick myself back up and try to move on in life.
Salt helped me do this in ways I cannot explain.
For this Salt I would like to thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
I deserve nothing and owe a ton to him and the rest of you guys for being with me through thick and thin.

I dont have one person to run around with after work when I get home.
They all seem to have too much baggage for me to want to deal with.
So yes as silly and strange creepy as it may seem you guys are it for the time being and I am happy with that.

And dont worry, I bought Carolyn's book years ago and TGS (Linda) had a box she put on sale a little over a year ago so I bought two more.

Nancy asked me what I was going to do with two more books and I told her I was going to give them away.
One is given away and I still have one more brand new book to give away.

When that time comes it will be someone here.
I came from a giving family that asked for nothing in return I cant help myself.
