Peas and Beans Round Robin
« on: November 11, 2014, 15:24:28 »
Round Robin for peas and beans only  :toothy10:

What's involved

I've made up a seed parcel with lots of different varieties of peas and beans, some are spares from the Seed Circles, some from the virtual swap and the remainder from me, either bought, swapped or home saved.
 
The parcel travels around each one in turn and you select what varieties you want. Many are rare types and are very limited in number. Be prepared as it can take some time to go through the varieties. Some are in individual portions others you'll need to take some from a bag and leave the remainder for others to choose - lots of plastic zippy bags or pocket money envelopes are great for repacking. Some varieties don't have variety information and you may need to look these up or copy info from packs.

Once you have chosen what you want, add in your contributions, try not to add in varieties if there are already lots of them in there already, they might be a type people already have and won't get picked.

Seeds are for growing so please nothing that are not going to give at least fair to good germination. They can be saved, or bought varieties.

The parcel will need to be sent Signed For, it has been known for parcels to go astray and is a good way to keep track, please pm me the tracking number when sent. 2nd class postage will be £3.90 but must be under 2kg, this price goes up mid Jan.

If you'd like to join in add your name to the thread and pm me your address.

Of course you are very welcome, I'm sure we can work something out  :sunny:
I'll look into the postage, might need a little creativity to keep costs down for both sides :icon_cheers:
