2013 SEED/PLANT/GARDENING SWAP

[Holcombes Chick]

I've never done this either. I'm interested in anything edible, medicinal, herbal, livestock feed, trees. Basically, if it grows, I'll find a purpose for it...Lol. I'm not sure if I have enough in variety or amount to contribute. I have some purple coneflower (Echinacea), Sycamore tree, French marigolds, eastern redbud, I also have a bunch of viable veggie and herb seeds from Seeds of Change (organic). Am I worth a swap? Lol

 

[Holcombes Chick]

I will give a detailed, counted list of what I have later tonight or tomorrow. Mlongworth...I'm definitely interested in what you have!

Ok so it looks like we might be able to get this going. I think a few people misunderstood what my intentions were for this swap. I copied the text from the first swap I was in. Let me know if this sounds like something you guys would be interested in and I will be the middle man. We will change the dates of course and we can change the amount of seed packets if desired.

1. Entry deadline is Monday, February 27, 2012.
2. IF YOU DO NOT SEND A BUBBLE ENVELOPE YOU WILL NOT RECIEVE ONE IN RETURN, this is the only way anyone will not get one back. I'm the hostess but will also be swapping with you.
3. Each person is to send 6 packets of seeds decorated with spring theme. You can use stickers, color them, draw them, print your own seed packets ect. Be creative and have fun!! Seeds can be home grown, bought or store bought but must be from last year or present, nothing older. Seeds must be flowers, fruits, vegatables, trees, shrubs ect. send all 6 packets the same kind or 6 different packets of seeds your choice.
4. Put your byc name on your seed packets so i don't send you the same ones back. Make sure you put common names on them, color ect so we know what the seeds are. My only limit on seeds is try to stay away from invasives and nothing unknown.
5. After i get all the bubble envelopes in i will swap everyones stuff around. This means you will each recieve 6 different seed packets back.
6. Sign up below now and I'll update this as needed with who is in.
7. BE's are self addressed stamped bubble envelopes, please use 4 x 6" size approx. this is to protect your goodies, include a return label and return postage in stamps or money so i can send you your be's back in same envelopes. If postage is not included it will not be sent back until I recieve it. Send for postage what it costs to ship your be's plus a stamp to make sure it covers it. Once everyone is signed up I'll pm everyone my address to ship their seeds too. If I missed anything please ask.
8. Please include in your envelope a note with things you are wanting and anything you don't want. I'm not going to guarantee 100% satisfaction, but I'll try to meet your requests.

I'm in! Is there a set number that we should have in each envelope? A guideline? I want to do this right, and I'm notorious for over thinking things...Lol.

 

[mlongworth]

I would be interested if i can request no veggies if possible. I allready have too many of those this year.

 

[mlongworth]

Renee if you havent shipped my honeysuckle we could roll back to you. Nobodys claimed mine yet.

I have a bunch of seeds on their way to me... here's a list so far:

Goji Berry, Lycium chinense
Northern Sugar Maple, Acer saccharum
Winter Honeysuckle Shrub, Lonicera fragrantissima
Eastern Red Bud, Cercis canadensis
Riverbank Grape, Vitis riparia
American Elderberry, Sambucus canadensis
Japanese Honeysuckle Vine, Lonicera Japonica
Black Mulberry, Morus nigra
American Beautyberry, Callicarpa americana
Virginia Creeper Vine, Parthenocissus quinquefolia
Desert Willow, Chilopsis linearis
Crape Myrtle, Lagerstroemia indica

Also have several packets of veggie seeds that I won't be using.. so I'll probably join the swap once the tree seeds get here

 

[mlongworth]

Will definitely be stalking you. If you would be interested in a side swap let me know.

Holcombes Chick and mlongworth:
There doesn't have to be a set number of seeds in each packet but I think at least 5- 10 in each might be a nice idea. If we end up doing the swap I will make sure you don't get any veggies mlongworth.

 

[Holcombes Chick]

No veggies works for me too. I also won't send any. I have enough other stuff to send...Lol.
