seed swap lucky dip
« on: December 12, 2011, 13:33:45 »
let's see if you're up for this.

I've just been through my seed collection and picked out a packet of seeds that i brought last year but didn't get round to planting.

I'm not going to say what they are but if you want them pm me your address.

the rules of the swap are if you recieve the seeds you post what you got and then do the same, ie. look through your seed collection, let us know when you've picked a pack of seeds but don't tell what they are and post them to the first person who messages you their address and so on and so on

hopefully we'll get some things we wouldn't have tried normally.

I remember motorcycling in Cornwall in the gales; it was sometimes as much as I could do to stay on the road.

I have a spare pkt of seed coz I bought two- forgetting I'd already got one ::)
Who do I pm to or does someone pm me? Sorry but I'm old and slow at new games...... ::)

I already have a name and address; should I post the seeds straight off, or wait till I get sent some?

alexE has posted me his 'lucky dip' so as soon as that arrives courtesy of the Royal Mail,I post safe arrival -perhaps tomorrow,then the first 2 people to pm me with their address get a packet from me and when that arrives they put up their offer and request addresses- if I've got it right ;D

Mine are in the post. I didn't have the peoples' real names so I addressed them to their screen names.
