Gardeners Corner Seed Swap Parcel 2011

Hi

Please can I go on the list

Thanks

 

[align=center][/align]




[align=center]A great way to increase the plants in your garden by swapping seeds with other members.[/align]






[align=left]How it works:[/align]




[align=left]A parcel is put together, containing little bags of seeds you dont think you'll ever use, this parcel is sent to one person after another from a list on this topic and as each member receives it they take out what seeds they want to use and add some more seeds, hence the "swap", then they post it onto the next member on the list. This way, the package offers a great choice of varieties, covering flowers, veg and herbs for very little outlay.[/align]




[align=left]Before the parcel arrives: [/align]




[align=left]Please keep updated by viewing this topic and have the following ready for when the parcel arrives to you. The name and address of the next person on the list, some envelopes for storing seeds from the parcel in and the seeds you intend to put into the parcel yourself.[/align]




[align=left]Guidelines:[/align]




[align=left]Here are the guidelines from the last seed swap topic, I have added in No 9 below (in bold) and suggest we use this set...feel free to discuss.[/align]




[align=left]1- maximum hold time before passing on parcel, unless previously arranged is 3 days (ties in with No3)
2- message person after you on the list before sending parcel and to the thread so we're all kept in the loop
3- if no response to a message, move on the next person, after 3 days (Works with No1)
4- contact details held by Steve for everyone, as an emergency(name, email, address and a phone if you wish)
but it's not compulsery
5- if you miss your turn, then you miss your turn, you wait til it comes round again.
6- New joiners go to the back of the queue , i.e behind the person who currently has it ( which will mean keeping the thread up to date on who has is, keep it public, if you have it you post)
7- Just keep us all informed, maybe a role call either on the thread or by me PMing, maybe with 2 chances to reply then your name is in red and after round of the parcel your off the list till you get in touch then No6 comes into force.
8- Please, no out of date seeds.
9- Please make sure you will be able to send the parcel on in three days, this will involve getting to a post office. If you think this might not be possible please ensure that someone will be able to do it for you if for example your taken ill. The parcel must move on always as other people are waiting for it.[/align]




[align=left]
Getting onto the list:[/align]




[align=left]Please add a posting that you would like to join the list and you will be added. If the first parcel is already in circulation, point 6 above applies. I will add myself to the middle of the list this time around and if need be I'll be able to "refresh" the parcel.[/align]




[align=left]Adding seeds:[/align]




[align=left]Seeds you have bought will have a use by date and description on them, if you have self-collected your own seed please date when you collected them and add as full a name/description as you can.[/align]

With contributions from non participating members of GC, our thanks go to.

I didn't manage to get to the Post Office on Monday so I sent it Tuesday for next day signed delivery.

I just checked the tracking number and nobody was in to sign yesterday so they will try again today.
