Seeds... pass the parcel
« on: August 08, 2007, 10:41:54 »
I have been lurking for ages (rarely posting) but have learnt a lot from these boards!

Sadly, I have had to move house and give up my allotment but have loads of seeds left over (various veg & some flowers). I cannot see myself having another allotment for a couple of years but hate to think of them being wasted - if anyone is interested in some seeds, let me know and I will post them out. Maybe a pass the parcel?

If you had a long list of people by the time it got back to you, you may have got a
new plot!what with GPO strikes etc,

the way these seed swap seem to work is that people put more in than they take out. so if you don't want them back, the parcel will just go round the Postal system forever getting bigger and bigger........

OK, I have had some advice from Jeannine and she has kindly said that I can add them to a pass the parcel that she is starting in September as otherwise I will get seeds back.
Not a bad plan B, watch this space!

I have the residue from 2 previous pass the parcels plus some other seeds I have been given from a group in Hull who are lo longer running a community lottie and a lot of spares of my own. So this looks as if it could be a great parcel.

I will be taking names after I have advertised it as a swap, which will be in the next 2 weeks.

I will continue to send this parcel around if it remains healthy for as long as the interest in is it. 

Name.. The Never Ending Parcel .. might suit. LOL


Big thanks to Lottief it was very kind of her to donate them and I have advised her to watch the thread I start so she can join in the fun as it is technically her pass the parcel too.

Due to the time of year there will be no rush and of course they will be seeds available now.

I don't want to take names till then as they will be in 2 places.

Thank you Jeannine
