2012 Seed Swap

All my seeds are ready to go , just need to get a bubble envelope ....thought i had some and turns out that i dont, so I'll get some tonight or tomorrow and mail them off to you Pam.

Do you need a list of what I'm sending, or post it here?

 

Post it here if you like Penny as I hope to get parcel off by weekend .then if there is anything anyone wants they can pm me and i will send them off ,then send remainder to down list for inclusion,
Thanks very much for your contribution ,I can pm you over Friday with whats in and anything in particular you want I can send them to you .

 

My seed collection is SO late this year ... sorry. What to do? I can add them to the parcel when it gets to me, which will give me a bit more time to try to get them ripe, and send some to the people in front of me in the queue if they are after anything I've got ...

... or were you planning that it would go round twice maybe (I know it was discussed, but it depends on how quickly it moves I suppose ...)

I am sending the following, all veggies......
Ji Num...HOT pepper.
peach habanero...HOT
Snow ball tomato
Bullsheart tomato
Abe Lincoln tomato
Black Seaman tomato
Japenese Black Truffle tomato
Mosage tomato
Mr Tungs beans
Big Red Heirloom (from a mennonite farm that does work for us)
Early Pink from Far East
Alot of these are multiple packs(4-5 packs, with 10 seeds in each pack), and are all from my garden this year.

 

As it has been such a poor year for us ,are we all ready ?,If we can go round again it would be good ,that rather depends on the quality of the parcel, also I do think it should pause 2/3 weeks before Christmas as it could get "lost" as has previously happened ,it all has to be kept moving along to work ,I will hope to get it started this weekend, if a lot of any particular seed I will keep some back and send separately further down list to "top up ".
So please : Be prepared ,bags ,labels ready: couple of days to check out if you want particular seed and on its way to next person, pm next person it has been posted and post on here dispatched and what it cost .If it can be sent as a large letter seems the cheapest,If you do not have the persons` in front of you address pm them and me, and they will be missed out,and send on to next available address,
Penny is sending some exciting sounding seeds, so if the early on list require any pm me and I will send you a few and send on remainder to whoever waiting for parcel to add in.
Any more points or queries please raise them now so we can all be sure of no hiccups and a swift circuit .
Just checked my list of names and addresses and I do not have ;Joolz, James Swann and Liliana. i will pm them. (have sent.pms)If any one else short of addresses of next person get address of one after,and the other will be missed out.

 

I don't actually want to join the seed swap list but if anyone wants some Golden Virginia tobacco seed please pm me with name and address and I will send you some.

Hey, yeah, I've done it for the last two years. The kind I grow is N. Rustica, the super-potent native variety. They do grow slowly at first and they are so small until they really get going and then it's BAM!!! They start getting huge fast. I would recommend putting them under a florescent light. If they could be in front of the window and be under a light, that would be even better. I start mine indoors in late Winter and put them outside in the Spring, so your results will be different from mine, no doubt.

The roots like lots of space, so use the biggest pots you can find, one to a pot. I follow a philosophy of take care of the roots and the plant will thrive. They need lots of direct light, plenty of water and organic fertilizer.

I like to let my leaves dry out while they are still on the plant at the end of the season. Sometimes they get this beautiful golden color and smell just like honey. It is one of the most intoxicating smells I have found and the taste is incredible. I like to store the leaves in large mason jars. That way you can control the humidity.




And found instructions for you______

 

Before i went away bought a 1000 little plastic ziplock bags , who stole my bags searched high and low ,put away safe somewhere .Put all seeds into large jiffy bag some wonderful donations from members , and some from members who do not want to be involved in parcel onto kitchen scales, battery gone and its a funny size coin type gotta get from "Maplins" when passing. So onto bathroom scales ,will not divulge actual reading ,but clutching parcel .2 of a kilo heavier , so 200grams
IF I am reading PO price guide correctly will cost 2-70 1st class ,With options ,packet,within 2/3 days value less than 50 pounds,

Collected astrantia,mallow,cerinthe,nicandra,verbascum and allium today for the parcel. Still lots of ripening going on out in the border so hopefully will have quite a few little brown envelopes to add.

 

I have loads to add not quite ready yet,will have to send them on as done when I get Pennys`, I am not even on list

 

pam do you want me to send it back to you when it gets to me, as i am sure you said that you may do that to add any late coming seeds
