I have finished going through the box, and I have everything ready to go now!
@NotFaeGardener, are you ready to receive the box now? If so, PM me your address!

Hi there Emily, can you bump me down in line after @avery.bowron?
@avery.bowron, do you want to be added to the bottom of the list? (You haven’t asked to be yet.) If you’re ready for me to do that now, I can move @LarimarHomestead to right after you. 
Yikes, I am sorry I didn’t realize that @avery.bowron didn’t request to go back onto the list.
I think I’m good for now, don’t really have any more space for new seeds next year. But I’ll be in touch with you @LarimarHomestead in a month or two once I’ve processed seeds and I can send a few things directly.
Cool, that sounds like a good solution for both of you.
Thank you so much @avery.bowron!
The box is here and I’ll be breaking into it tonight for pictures!

I’m slowly working through the box, and I have most of my contributions ready to go. I just need to freeze a couple bags of my corn/cowpeas for a few days to ensure pest-free status. I also need to decide if I need more varieties of tomatoes 
@jens I believe you’re next on the list, could you message me your contact info?

Yes! Obviously!

Well, the answer on the tomatoes was YES.
I’ve made my way through the box and picked up a few new tomatoes, peppers, and oddball things (whoever threw in the muscadine grapes, I love you! lol). My bag of contributions, including popcorn separated into ears with tassels on top and ears without as well as a crazy cowpea mix that’s mostly bush types, is out of the freezer and ready to sort into categories. I’ve tossed in a bunch of random seed packets, too. I’ll try to snag pictures tonight while I’m re-packing!
We have a freeze watch incoming, and I’m a little sad that I won’t have time to process a few of the Helsing Junction Blue tomatoes I just pulled before sending out the box. I picked a few seeds to try the first time I had the box, started one plant this year, and have concluded they’re glorious. My tomatoes were all ravaged by blister beetles, and while this plant was stripped bare, it recovered perfectly. And then it set a huge crop of DARK antho cherry tomatoes. Look at this gorgeous cluster, and it isn’t even ripe yet!

Oh my gosh those are amazing. Um, are you sure you can’t sneak some in before you mail the box? I’ve been collecting antho tomatoes..

I can’t get them processed in time for this box, BUT… I can see about putting some in the next time around, or else sending some directly to you. I should have plenty.

Wow, those look amazing! If you can’t get them in the box this time, save them for next time!
My mouth is watering for them….

Has the box been sent on yet?
@NotFaeGardener, do you have the box right now? Or does @jens have it?
She said she was going to send it. I don’t have tracking, but I’ll go run by the post office this morning. 
The package still hasn’t arrived. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
@NotFaeGardener, can you update us on when you sent the box to @jens? (Or, if you haven’t sent it yet, would you please get it in the mail to her ASAP?)
Oh my gosh, I’m still here. My household’s been passing a stomach bug back and forth for what feels like an eternity! I wasn’t leaving the bathroom, let alone the house to ship. I’m so sorry for the delay!
The box is on its way now. I had to repack it into a larger box because after my additions it just would. not. close! 
I was able to add in a small pack of the Helsing Junction Blue tomato seeds, so hopefully they’ll be there when the box gets to you @MamaRachael!!
Please don’t add me to the bottom of the list, @UnicornEmily. At this point I’m just assuming I’m a curse on the seed swap box and I’m better off doing direct person-to-person shipping of seeds as needed, lol.
