[Jayb]

You certainly can  ;D

[goodlife]

BIIIIIG bundle of seeds arrived!...thank you Jayb.. :-* ;D
Back to writing my never ending up dating of tomato seeds list.. ::)

[Jayb]

Enjoy  ;D
Your lovely lot of seeds has already been added to the swap thank you  :)
B'nick have been received and sent.

[Jayb]

I forgot to say Jeannine has a parcel on the way to add to the Virtual Tomato swap  ;D
Thank you  ;D
I'll update the list when Jeannine's parcel arrives. Folk will have to let me know what they would like from it on a first come basis  :)

[Jeannine]

Jay just to add, your parcels are on the way.John left it in the car when I sent him on errand slast week , I found them when we went out on Tuesday so  got posted then..sorry. Plus there is also one with circle stuff in, so expect two.

I have ruthlessly been through my seeds and cut them down very much, my health is such that I will never be able to grow them all so have sent them off to you folks.Some may have originated there but  of those ones I am sowing a few  this year and sent back the balance. Dates could be anything from 2008 to last year. Mostly they are just a few in each packet but someone on the forum may want them..do what you feel is best.

I am sorry to give you work as they are not packed in 10s etc, they are just surplus seeds so may not suit the virtual swap, maybe offer them on the forum for SAE or something.

I have been cutting sown all my seeds and didn';t want to through anything out so you got all  the tomatoes.I hope I haven't caused a problem for you, didn't know what else to do.

I don't want any seeds in return. I still have lots of varieties here and that is planty for me.

Good luck with your project

Seeds received - resulting in sudden panic that I know have more tomato varieties than I grew plants last year.

Jayb - top job with all of this - it seems like a lot of work so thanks muchly!!

[schmelda]

I'd like to join in, if it's not too late  ???  Though, like Jeannine, I don't quite understand how the whole concept works!  I have a variety of bought seed to swap.   :)

[Jayb]

Time, no worries at all Jeannine  ;D your generosity has always been a delight and I have some super treasures due to you  :) 
Thank you for your kind words  :)

I think as long as people are interested in taking part the virtual seed swap/tomato swap should be an ongoing resource as such for the forum.

This sounds most reasonable to me  ;D Just wait for next year!

[Jayb]

Hi Schmelda, not too late at all, good to have you join  :)

Everyone is taking a turn in the swap starting with the first poster and following down the list. When it is your turn I'll pm you a link to the list of seeds you can choose from. Pick whatever you would like, one variety is fine or lots if you fancy them  :) Really the only requirement is you send varieties in equal quantity to those you choose although there is a help yourself freebee section too. Once you have choosen send me your seeds along with a SAE so I can return your selection to you. 'Seeds offered are done so in good faith that they are the named variety and viable seed.  Most of the varieties have a minimum of at least 10 seeds or more per pack.

[schmelda]

Sounds very exciting!  I shall look forward to my shotty!

[Jeannine]

I think my seeds have made it across, have fun XX Jeannine

[goodlife]

Oh Jeannine... :-* This greedy pants is most curious of what goodies you have managed to smuggle ..err..post over here this time.. ;) ;D
I know you mentioned that you don't want anything in return...but if you should change your mind..drop PM to 'Auntie Goodie' and she will do her best to return the favours.. :-*

[Jeannine]

Jay will tell you what arrived cos honestly I didn't keep a list. I cut my collection down by at least half and sent them over there. It is a long list so be patient with Jay.


My health is such that I will not be able to sow even a percentage of what I have so most of my seed stash is going, the tomatoes went first.

There should be something for everyone.

Whoops this went a bit off plan, sorry for the delay, apologies to those left waiting for their turn and anyone waiting to see Jeannine's selection, who sent a wonderful tomato collection to add to the pot, lots and lots of super varieties (thank you). We have also had some super new to the swap varieties which is great, so thank you to all those already taking part.

If anyone is interested in looking  at the list, here's a link to available seeds in the swap https://sites.google.com/site/virtualtomatoswap/  ( still a bit work in progress). Several varieties have been and gone and some are just one portion of seeds, others several are available. I'll leave the swap open in case anyone is feeling like swapping  :)
