I have to much off....seed swap
« on: October 15, 2008, 10:11:08 »
I would like to start another seed swap if any one would be interested
as I have to many of a lot of the things I have recently purchased. as I am sure a lot of other people do and I think a few people missed jennies and Tinkie_bear's swaps.

 I would not send it out until Tinkie_bear's swap is finished so that any one who is in that swap could join in with this one without them getting mixed up

It would work the way of a normal seed swap with me compiling  a list of addresses to be included in the swap parcel  with the last person being me if any one is interested please post  ;D

yep count me in. I'm i two swaps already, but have bought a lot of seeds already and plan to get even more before December, and since you get more seeds than you could possible use I'll be glad to pass on the surpluses.

yes this is I different one I was hoping the roundabout swap will keep going indefinitely. for whenever people feel like swapping something or if they have something they want to share ;D

I have far to much of every thing eg if have around 10,000 cabage seeds in 18 different variety's etc so I thought I would have a clear out of the stuff I have to much off and as I am not going to grow any f1's of veg that I can easily home save the seeds from any more, so instead of putting them in the bin I thought I would start a big swap.

any thing that I cannot or do not want to grow when I get the swap back will be given to my children's school as they already have most of the variety's that I will be putting in the swap

I don't expect to be sending this out till mid December so there is plenty of time for people to join in and for the other swaps to finish (or be nearly finished) apart  from the roundabout one of course but with there only ever being 5 packets of seeds in that it should be easily identifiable ;D

Can a pinch of seeds(about 10) be taken out or put in, or does it have to be whole packs?
I want to try and grow a few of each, rather than loads of one ???

If so, i would like to join in.

home saves,whole packets, half packets pinches of this and that everything is ok just been sorting mine out and there is all of the above  ;D
 ;) well of course there is who wants 750 purple sprouting broccoli  ??? why do they put so many in seeds in the packet ???
I will be planting shop stile broccoli as well as green and white sprouting I think I will only fit in maby 4 plants of each. so even taking in to account germinating losses that's hundreds of years worth of seeds why do they put so many in ???
they are selling them to the public not farmers  :-\ ???
