I've just received the rainbow seed swap and was amazed at the choice in there. Unfortunately I think I really should now say I'll pass on this swap as I'm going to have far too many things that I need to plant out in the next few months as it is.
sorry. Becky :-[
as a newbie would someone mind explaining what happens with a seed swap please? ???
Would like to join- have pm'ed my addy to you Tom in case you have spaces.
Could someone answer alfies post further up.I do not know as I have not done a seed swap. ;D
alfie,
If you fancy joining in, just send a personal message to the swap organiser with your name & address
Get all excited about the potential different varieties of veg/flower seed you might be able to try ;D
Buy some small baggies, or better still make some paper envelopes and put in any seed you have too much of (or cant grow :P)
Wait for what seems an eternity for the parcel to arrive ::)
Slap the postie about a bit when it finally arrives :o
Settle down and spend the evening drooling, then take out a pinch of seeds from those you fancy trying :D
Chuck in all those seeds you think your fellow A4Aers would like to try 8)
Wind round half a reel of parcel tape, get the right postage added by the parcel police, post on to the next A4A name on the enclosed list 8)
Check on the availability of extra allotments - to grow all the new stuff you now havent got room for ;D ;D ;D
mmmmmmmmmmmmm o... gwon then. PM on way. i havent got much left in me tin though. see what i can find....
Oh go on then ;D pm'd you! ;)
Great stuff Tom....................... ;D ;D ;D
Thanks for including me Tom, looking forward to it!
This will be my first really looking forward to it :) thanks dadnlad for the more info. I thought you actually kept whole pkts of seed replacing with another pkt didn't realise that you could just take out a pinch! much better idea.
Not sure what happened there - thought that I was sending privately. Thanks for taking out my private details Dan.
Must be a(nother) senior moment :-[ :-[
Jitterbug
;D ;D
if its too big to go through the letter box then we may find that trying to recieve and dispatch in 24 hours problematic. i know for a fact that my post man will put a card throught the door saying he tried to deliver when i have been in. which means arranging to be in the next day or going to collect it from the sorting office. just a warning. not all post men are like this i'm sure.
Isn't exciting! can't wait - does that make me a sad do?
It sure does, looks like we are all in the same club ;D ;D ::) :P
Ohhhhhhhh it is here, just had a sort through and its back in the post first thing tomorow :)
Its going to somewhere you would imaagine to be leafy and tranquil ;D
A forest ??? ???....................
sort off ;D
Think air freshner ;D
haze ! ... hayes :-\
glade??
Yep somewhere with 'Glade' in the address ;D
Northampton air freshener then ;D ;D ;D ;D ??? In a forest ??? ;D ;D ;D
It arrived this morning and went out again by return..........lovely parcel BTW :D
I am having another very senior moment and cannot remember where the parcel has gone to :-[ :-[ :-[. Oh dear, but I do know WHO its gone to and its dancing its way to you now ;D ;D ;D ;D

Aah!! Got it - parcel at home when I got home last night. However when I had a quick nifty through the treasures - there does not appear to be a list with a forwarding address in it??
Anyone know where next I must send it to? Mmmm - might double check the envelope again in case it has gotten stuff on the side though!
Jitterbug
No.................it was definatly in there Tom, 2 pages stapled together :-[
Any news Jitterbug? Hope it was there tucked away in the depths of the parcel :-\
Please let it be there, else I have to incur the wrath of Tom :'( :'( :'( (and everyone else too :'( :'( :'(sob)
:o :o :o :o :o Screams and runs away.......................Im NOT behind the settee 8) ::) :-\
Now Now children, play nicely. ::) ::) After a second rifle through the parcel I found the list in the side (between the bubble wrap). Panic over guys! :-[ :-[
I had a good rummage through my seed stash and have put some really nice stuff in there for peeps to try out - also added a few flower seeds for those who want to try compansion planting. The leeks are also good - I still have some in the ground from last year.
Its going to an Old Queens Road, not Oxford but C...... ???
