2014 SEED SWAP

Hi everyone, it is that time of year when our thoughts start to turn to next year,,, we will be starting the seed run in a few weeks, so any members wishing to join, the list is open, under swaps and freebies section, also we are very grateful for any contributions of seeds if any member wishes to donate, please pm me and i will supply my address.

 

Armandii, you are always so generous.

 

Smashing,

Just in time, as I got my vouchers today in the post, so I can spend even more!

I got a lot of packets last year, and I think I used them all.

 

Had a huge amount of packets from Armandii today ,we are off to a great start...

 

Could you PM me your address please, Pam, and I'll get some seeds in the post to you too, to help get the ball rolling.

 

pm me an address as I have a lot of surplus seed too!

 

My Salvia Patens Cambridge and Oxford Blue have some seeds forming. I will send them up to you to put in the parcel together with some Linaria Purpurea and Canon Went. I won't put my name on the list though this year thanks,
Jenny

 

@pamsdish ....posted some seeds off to you today for the parcel. Please excuse the recycled T&M padded envelope!

 

"Please applaud the recycled T&M padded envelope" I think?

 

I use Amazon quite a lot and always save and reuse my jiffybags . Good for seeds , little plants and rooted cuttings,
Jenny

 

I think we all have recycled bags and they are great for the seed parcel,

 

If folk have some small envelopes, or similar, they will be able to take a "pinch" of seed from a packet. I used coffee filters which keep the seed nice and dry. I folded the tops over, and secured the lot with a Bulldog clip, but there is obviously the risk of spillage with an open container like that!

 

Crossed lines, I think Jenny is referring to postage bags, Kristen thinks bags for saving seeds .
Small envelopes or plastic bags are good, some seeds inevitably spill and I have an envelope of lucky dip which i shall include...

 

Sorry, should have been clearer ...

Jenny's post prompted me to think that when the package arrives folk will need a means of storing some seeds from the "bulk" packets in the parcel

I saw on a different forum that a supply of (empty) little seed envelopes was included in the parcel ... although I have no idea how that was funded!
