I am considering organising a tomato swap.

Anyone interested?

Please read instructions before joining.

You will pack your tomato seeds in packets of ten,clearly mark which variety, wether home saved or store bought and the year of their birth.Packets don't need to be all different, but it makes for a better swap the more varieties we have.

You will then post your tomato packages to me.

You will enclose a large SAE envelope with a big 2nd class stamp on.(or a 1st if you prefer)

You will receive back the same amount that you send BUT they will be different varieties, so your own seed collection will increase.

If you send 3 packs you will get 3 packs , it you send 10 you will receive 10 etc.

If you have extra seeds that you don't want swaps for they can be included and shared out with the other participants, but they must be clearly marked SPARES.

I have done this before and it works very well.

I may do it with other seeds if this one is well received.

eg. chillies, beans, squash etc.

Please let me know if you are interested.

Overseas please PM me re postage, we can figure something out.

Oh I like this idea :D ... it keeps postage down to a minimum ... ;D

Would we be able a request ... if possible ... the type we are looking for ?? i.e. beef or cherry, stripped or out door types ? :)

yes, you are right about postage, it costs so much less to post so much more seed!!

Hi, it can get very difficult for the organiser if there are too many restrictions as to type, variety etc. If everyone has the same request you can imagine the problems.

I think this is the first swap like this on A4A, if they were tons of participants in might be do-able but would not like to guarantee it as there are so many varieties.

This is one type of swap that really benefits from a lot of participants.

I have done it in North America but lots of people involved then.

Hi I have given this a lot of though overnight and feel it would be too difficult to try to sort out types etc for specific requests, if I tried and took out all the requests first, it would mean the others got was left,it might work out but I don't want it to seem unfair so........... I will go head and start taking names but without any specifics.

For those who want to go ahead and have the fun of a surprise please PM me you names, addresses etc. I set up a file with these PM so really important.I also need a name with the addy, I don't mind if it is a made up one but I prefer to address to a name and address as I get proof of posting for all I send out.

So think about it and if you want to join in, let me know. There are no restrictions on numbers.
