    Hi, I'd love to be included in this if at all possible, I apreciate it may not be possible on account of me being a new member though, either way thanks :)

    Sfter seeing my greenhouse being built, my next door neighbour gave me a load of seeds, far too many in all honesty, so I'll send them along if I am accepted;


    primrose
    salvia
    morning glory
    viola
    laurentia
    poppy
    aster
    malva
    cornflower
    antirrhinum
    rudbeckia
    pontentilla

    AirAssisted and Jackcat, I'll add you both to the list as per the guidelines which means you will be put in after Loofah, then the next time the list goes around you will be included.

    I've made an online editable seed packet template, either for those who wish to make their own packages for self collected seeds or for storing seeds taken from the seed swap...its an early version that I'll probably upgrade at a later stage and is available here..http://www.focal-pla.net/SeedTemplate/Untitled-3.php you will be taken to a simple page, showing an envelope template, when your mouse curser rolls over a text part, it will turn yellow...and you can click and edit that text. When your mouse curser rolls over the photo, you can click on "Change Logo" and you can insert a url to a photo in the format "http://www.myflowerphoto.jpg". Then simply print it off. Have fun and let me know what you think of it.

    Yes Pam...there are many, to my knowledge none can be custom made like mine can, by adding photos and text. Also you can control the size of mine when you come to print them off. ;)
