Second annual seed swap!
« on: Nov 30, 2008, 11:56:38 AM »
Okay everyone! You have been saving seeds, right? Are you ready to swap? 

Here are the details.

Everyone who wishes to be involved will send the seeds they want to include in the swap to me. When the deadline rolls around, I will then swap the seeds around, and mail your new seeds back to you. 

All types of seeds are welcome; flowers, veggies, trees, shrubs, vines, ect.

Please include at leat 25 seeds in each pack, unless they are small seeds, then the general "rule" is 1/8 tsp. of seeds in each packet. If it's a rare or hard to come by seed, less than 25 is okay, but please be sure to note that on the packet.

Please label each packet with the name of the seeds, and as much info as you can about growing requirements like sun or shade, plant height, ect.

Also put your screen name on each packet, so if there are questions or problems with your seed, we can take care of them.

You may send in as many packets as you would like, but please no more than 10 packets of the same type of seeds. You will get back roughly the same number you sent in.

Mail your seeds to me in a padded (bubble) envelope. Include postage to return the envelope to you.

You may also include a brief (5-10 item) wish list of seeds...I will do my best to get you a few off the list.

The deadline for seeds to reach me will be January 31, 2009. My plan is to get them out right after that, so we all get a nice suprise in our mailboxes around valentine's day.

If you would like to be included, please sign up in this thread and I will PM you my address.

We had a lot of fun last year, and I'm really looking forward to this year's swap!

Oh boy isn't that just like me I think I broke all of your rules.

PM me with what I need to do to fix it and I will.  I can't do anything about the seed count.  Most of mine will be close to 25 but probably one or two seeds short in each package.  If you want to count two of my packages as one that would be ok with me.

I think it will be okay...I have a few other friends who have decided they want in, plus my dad and grandma. Should be an awesome mix this year!  :ThumbUp:

There is still lots of time for others to join in, as well...

Anyone else want to join in? Even if you only send in a few, it will still be a fun suprise in your mailbox.  :dancingbunny:

I have some people who have entered seed swaps that I've done.  Would you like me to contact them and see if they are interested?

Ok, I sent out an e-mail to the seed swappers I know.  Hopefully that will help the seed swap grow.
