Hi all. when I left the UK last year I promised all my A4A friends I would get together some Canadian/US seeds that you can't get over there and send them over for a parcel swapsie.

Following on similar lines to my previous ones but a few gentle rules are necessary so please take a while to consider before you ask to join in.

Open to UK and European friends who are contributing members of A4A.

Please only take a few seeds so that everyone on the list gets a few of the original seeds and replace what you take with seeds of your own.

Please do not send old seeds.

Please leave them in their original packets even if there is only a few left.

No-one will be added on after the parcel leaves me so the list inside will not change.

Participants will not be kept secret, a list will be posted in advance so we know where it is at all times.

I am requesting a maximum 3 day turn around to try to keep it moving quickly.

I would like the parcel to come home so need someone who is happy send it back to Canada once it is finished there as I have plans for the seeds, I will enclose UK stamps to go towards the postage.

Note I am buying these seeds specially for this swap so if anyone has any special requests for seeds they have seen on line let me know. I will enclose them if I am able.

The parcel will not go out till mid April as I am in the US early April and will be searching shops there too. I will take names till April 9th.

You MUST PM me if you are interested,but also please leave a message here too as a backup.

All ideas welcome as always.

In the event I have a huge number of participants I will draw names from a hat as I cannot make a second parcel this time.

I would also like to join. I also have some varieties from Canada and have more than I need of each variety.

markfield rover · « **Reply #9 on:** March 12, 2010, 09:43:44 »

Yes please, is there anything this end you might be looking for? Will PM.

Digeroo · « **Reply #10 on:** March 12, 2010, 10:28:08 »

Just one thing are we allowed to send seeds to Canada. I thought that they had to have hygiene certificates etc.

Jeannine · « **Reply #11 on:** March 12, 2010, 10:31:57 »

Yes and no.We do it all the time but are careful how we phrase it on the box. It is very rare to go missing. I had one in the Uk from the US that customs stopped but the seller had listed the whole lot on the outside of the box, and that is the only one I have had a problem with and i have bought and sent Internationally for years.

Robert PM please as I get a copy into my home mail at and I file them in a folder for that purpose.

I don't have any requests for stuff coming here Hilary will take pot luck for the plan I have for the seeds.
