I have organized lots of seeds swaps at Garden Web. It is time to start another one as we'll all be gathering seeds soon. This swap will be for annual or perennial seeds - either flower, herb or veggies.

Each participant sends me 10 small packets of seeds. Seed packets need to be labelled with type of seed, annual or perennial, colour and any further details you feel is necessary. You can send 10 packets of the same seed or a variety of seeds. You can include your name on each packet of seeds if you wish.

You also need to include a SASE, preferably a small brown bubble envelope that will hold the 10 packets to return to you. The envelope must be addressed to you and have two 51 cent stamps on it to ensure delivery back to you. No stamps ... no seeds returned. Please do not use the small white envelopes as the seed packets won't fit in or will end up splitting the envelope.

When all seeds have been received I will sort them out and mail you back at least 10 different packets of seeds. I have lots of seeds from my gardens so you will probably end up with more than 10 packets of seeds.

If you are interested in participating, email me and I will email you back with my mailing address. The deadline for sending the seeds to me will be September 22, 2006. I will get the seeds out in the mail the following week. Any seeds received after the deadline will be put back in the SASE and returned to the sender. It is up to you to remember to mail the seeds to me.

This is a great way to start a friendship garden and get new seeds for that winter sowing project or to save for next spring.

Who is going to join the seed swap?

The brown bubble envelopes I have measure almost 6 inches x 9 inches (or 15 cm. x 23 cm.)

And as many folks like to reuse the envelope, you can include a mailing label inside and the correct postage and then I'll just stick it over the top on the return journey.

For those that haven't already mailed their envelope, could you please include your Garden Web name so that I can keep track of who sent their seeds.

Just a reminder that I should receive the seeds by Sept. 22/06. It is up to you to remember to send them to me, I don't have time to email everyone individually. Updates will be posted here and at the website I set up.

I am NOT accepting any more people into this swap.
I need to receive the seeds by Sept. 22 if you wish to be included in the swap. Any seeds received after that date will be returned to you in the SASE. Thanks for understanding.

Please check the link below to see if your envelope has been received.

Thanks to those that are being very generous and including some extra packets to distribute.

sbnelson@can.rogers.com

Remember it is up to you to mail the seeds to me. I won't be sending any individual emails.

Please continue to check the seed swap page I set up.

Thank you, can't wait to see what we all get.

Thanks to all the participants.

I have started the process of re-labelling the envelopes and adding the postage and I am starting to share out the seeds.  I know that some of you requested specific seeds to be sent back, but due to the huge numbers of seeds it will be impossible for me to go through them all and look for specific ones.   I just don't have that amount of time. 

I have not heard from 6 participants.  As originally mentioned in the directions, seeds received after the deadline will be sent back to you in your SASE. I'm assuming since none of you contacted me you decided not to participate, which is absolutely fine.

Thanks to everyone that got their seeds out. Thanks for the extra seeds for sharing. Other gardeners will benefit from these.

There were 5 people I never heard from. If by any chance the seeds arrive in the next few days they will be returned as orginally stated in the first instructions.

Thanks to everyone that participated. I really hope you will enjoy the selection of seeds you get back.

I'm looking forward to meeting you all again in another seed swap.

Wendy – you’re welcome!

Have fun everybody.
Ian
