your dates change in the description... when do you want them sent out?

How do you ship them and have them survive? I'm interested, but I don't know much about shipping cuttings in the mail...

If you wrap the cuttings in a damp paper towel and put it in a bag that works well, my grandma sends cuttings to me like that all the time!

I was just thinking of a swap like this the other day! Great minds think alike :-) Perhaps someone will organize one for the Midwest.

Sorry, about the double dates. I have edited that above. I had used a previous swap and copied it. Hope you join us.

I missed that it said 'Northeast' the first time I looked at it... I'm a Midwest person myself.

lcove2000 02/ 9/2010 #

I only say Northeast because I want them to ship as quickly as possible.

I will start letting my aloe grow some babies!

Sounds like a great idea only if it was for TEXAS folks...

Yikes! I signed up & completely miss the region! I have cuttings ready to ship, if that's okay???

When are you assigning partners????

lcove2000 04/24/2010 #

Well, I haven't heard from many people about their location. I was waiting for that to assign partners.

lcove2000 04/24/2010 #

Okay, I have allowed from MD to VT to PA. I think that will be doable.

lcove2000 04/26/2010 #

So since we I was late with the deadline. Give your partners 1 week from the 4/24/10 to get it out in the mail please.

lcove2000 04/26/2010 #

So, if you wrap their roots in saturated peat moss. wrap with plastic baggie and then tin foil. put some papertowel in the package for leakage. they should make it.

funkhoup 05/26/2010 #

Deadline was May 22. I still haven't received any thing from you. :(
