Phew!!

Getting there.

Silverbirch you are the halfway point - so the parcel is going around really quickly. Which is good news as I have a couple of people asked to be added on to the list after it had been posted.

When it gets back to me I'll send it out again - so if anyone else wants to take part let me know. :)

Yes please I would love to join in. This will be my first seed swap here so I am really hopeful to be able to join in. Is it just for veggies or do you mind flowers as well? I have PM'd you.

Don't know if I'm in or not but it certainly got me going at sorting out my seeds just in case! Even cleaned the fridge because of the escapees ::)

Chickadoodle I have just pm'd you. Happy to have you join in - but be prepared for a wait as this is only just half way round it's first outing. But have confidence that it well get there in the end. ;D

I've finished making my swaps. I won't give any secrets away, because that's half the fun, but I found some real gems. I just hope my offerings are up to standard.

It's ready to post off, but I may not be able to get to the post office until Friday, as I've got visitors at work tomorrow. If Saturday counts, I'll send the pack guaranteed overnight. I'll keep you informed on here.

Well done, Suzanne, this was a great idea.

Thanks Silverbirch - but credit goes to Jeannine - themed seed swaps were her idea, I just had to find which theme I had most of.
;D

I would like to think about a Halloween /Autumn orWinter /Christmas or New Year /Spring one bit it won't be easy.

I have Santa Claus melons, Christmas Pole Lima beans,Tom Thumb lettuce(pantomine),Winter density lettuce, Angel Hair spaghetti squash(angel Christmas)Autumn Cup squash, Winter Density Lettuce,Festival (christmas) squash,Batwings pumpkin, Baby Boo pumpkin,White Wonder Cukes,Goblin Eggs Gourd,Penguin Gourds,Winter black radish,Maystar Cauli,

That is all I can think of

So maybe it is not a great idea

I think I have a few seeds with Christmas/Winter themes. I know I have Ghost pumpkins, Rouge d'hiver letuce, Giant Winter spinach, "Santa" Krus tomatoes, Pandora (Box - chrismas box at a stretch maybe) leeks without looking. If I go through my seed list properly I am sure I can find quite a few.

If we all don't have enough individually perhaps we send to a 2coordinator" to make up a packet and then send round? :-\

The pack went off today. It will need signing for, but it's not guaranteed post, so Monday is probably more likely.

Stand by Natasha.

Suxanne, that is is often what they do on the US swaps, then everybody wins as is shared out equally, you get the amount of what you put in but different varieties. I have never seen one done on here yet though. I have just been in a Valentine one from overseas.XX Jeannine

Dear All!
The parcel is here, but I wasn't in to sign for it, I'll go to the main post office tonight to collect it.

The parcel was wonderfull :) and it is again on the road, so hopefully it will be at Weed digger's place tomorrow and I obtained a receipt for the first time in my life!
Thank you very much Suzanne for organising it, such a lovely choice and the amount of seeds.

Now I’m excited, this will be the first one I’ve received, I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.
Thanks for organising it Suzanne.
