As a Canadian member, I am unable to post this note in the exchange forum. I do hope you'll be ok with me posting here as I wanted to extend this offer to the US and International gardenweb members as I did last year.

I am hosting another Tomato and Pepper seed swap that will include members from a few different forums.

Here are the guidelines we will follow for this swap. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ ALL OF THE GUIDELINES.

Seeds must be received by me no later than November 15th, so for those that live in Canada, you must mail your envelope no later than November 1st.. For those in the US and overseas, you need to allow at least 3 weeks mailing time, so please have seeds in the mail by the third week of October.

You can send "named varieties" of tomatoes or peppers (or both). Do not include mixes or seeds labeled "granny's mystery mix" or unnamed bell peppers or anything like that. I cannot, in fairness, send mixed or unknown packs of seed back to people that followed the instructions and only sent in "named varieties". If I receive anything like this, the seeds will be returned to you unless they are clearly marked as bonuses.

If you are sending hybrid seeds to exchange, only F1 seeds from a commercial source are acceptable. Your source for the F1 seeds must be clearly labeled on the envelope/seed packet. Do not send in seeds you have collected from a hybrid plant. They will not grow true to the original parent plant. If you are unsure if the seed you have collected is from a hybrid, please do your research online before mailing in your seeds.

A minimum of 10 seeds per packet. A maximum of 5 packets of the same seed. An overall maximum of 40 packets per person. Please stick to this limit. You must put your seeds into individual packets. I will not do this for you. Every year there�s a few people that push past this limit and include a note that says "I hope you don�t mind�and by the way�I�d like only rare seeds in return"�LOL. Sorry folks, that won�t work. It�s just not fair to everyone else. Bonus tomato & pepper seeds are of course, more than welcome. I just asked that bonuses be clearly labeled as such.

Please ensure seed packets are clearly marked with the name, and whether they are heirloom, OP (Open Pollinated), or F1 hybrid seeds. If you are sending pepper seeds, it would help me a great deal with sorting if you could indicate on the packages if the peppers are sweet or hot as many individuals in the last swap had clear preferences. If seeds are from a commercial source, please note that as well.

If you send tomato seeds, you will receive tomato seeds in return. The same idea for peppers, unless you include a note indicating you want something different in return. You can also send in tomato seeds and ask for pepper seeds in return or visa versa, or any combination. I fully expect a large variety and volume of seed types to be able to accommodate this.

4) Please include a list of what you are sending, your wish list and if there are any seeds you do
not want to receive. It is very important to take the time to write out a list of what you are sending, otherwise I have to do it for you and I do not have time for that. If you are only interested in heirloom or OP, please tell me that as well. I will try my best to accommodate your wish list, but there are no guarantees of course. The variety will be completely dependent on what is sent in. In last year's swap, we were able to fill many items on people's wish lists so please take the time to prepare one - it will be worth your while. I do my very best to handle this swap fairly. I will post a separate note shortly listing the highly sought after varieties from last years swap, in case this helps those that are wondering what to send in.

You will need to mail your seeds inside a bubble envelope with a return label inside, along
with the correct amount of return postage. I will reuse your original bubble envelope to send
your surprise seeds back to you. Return postage rates are as follows:

* If you live in Canada - $1.29 return postage stamps (Canadian Stamps only)
* If you live in the US - $2.21 (CAD or US$) (includes tax)
* If you live outside Canada and US - $4.41 (CAD or US$) (includes tax)

All postage rates can be verified on the Canada Post website. For those outside of Canada, you will need to send enough funds to pay for return postage. You can either send concealed cash in the envelope or you could submit payment for postage via Paypal. Please DO NOT send stamps from your country. They will not work here in Canada :)

It's important that you send a regular bubble envelope and not the heavy cardboard insulated type. Weight restriction in this price category is 100g. Please be sure to send a big enough envelope. I would recommend a minimum of 4 x 6 so thickness stays within Canada Post letter mail requirements.

If you change your mind after registering, and no longer wish to participate, PLEASE notify me immediately so we do not delay the swap waiting for your seeds to arrive. This will also save me a great deal of time trying to follow up and track people down.

I will email you privately with my mailing address once you have posted here to sign up for this swap. You must make sure that your gardenweb profile has your email address attached and it's visible to other members, so I can contact you. Please triple check this before signing up for this swap.

Any questions. Please let me know. Let's have fun exchanging seeds !!!!

Thanks��Heather

Please note - I will be out of town on business November 19 thru 21st and will not be responding to anyone during that time.

Lots of great participation so far in our first day. I sent everyone that signed up on this forum a private message with further detail. If you did not receive it for any reason, please get back in touch with me. The gardenweb message system can sometimes be a bit finicky.

Looking forward to a great swap. Last year we had 139 participants. We have to beat the record each year, so can't wait to see where we land.

Mark

Will contact everyone tonight with further detail. Just got home from work and have some catching up to do.

I very much appreciate what is sent in for sharing with the participants, as I know so many others do too. Please don't feel that you are expected to send in bonuses. This exchange is about sharing and trying new varieties and we like to take special care of our newbies...as we love nothing better than getting others addicted to tomatoes and peppers :)

Thanks everyone for all of your assistance in making this exchange a big success !

Sandy

Everyone that has joined the swap has been sent an email/private message with further detail. If you did not receive it, please get in touch with me.

We're up to 60 participants and only 2 days into this swap. Looking good !!!

I thought it would be worth posting a note about tomatillos. Tomatillos are not tomatoes, and as such, should not be sent in for exchanging in this swap. If you want to send some in for bonuses, that's great...I'll open them up to the group to see who's interested. I did not have anyone list "tomatillos" on their wish lists in any of the swaps I have hosted, so wanted to make sure everyone is aware...that they are not considered a valid "exchange" item for this swap. Thanks everyone

Look forward to seeing your email.

Frank

Come join the fun everyone.

Four varieties of pepper seeds is just fine, as long as you don't have them combined as a mixture of pepper seeds. You can send up to 5 packets of each individual type of pepper seed as long as there are a minimum of 10 pepper seeds in each packet. So those 4 different varieties can be split into 20 packets potentially (if you have enough seeds) and then you'll get 20 different types of seeds back in exchange. A great way to expand the variety in your collection.

I just sent you a private message via gardenweb. Please let me know if you do not receive it. Welcome aboard !!!

If you're on the fence regarding participating, stop wasting your time and just sign up. This is your best opportunity to get some interesting new varieties for the price of a few seeds you probably already have and postage.

Heather does a fantastic job! Given the amount of time and effort she puts into her annual seed exchange I'm surprised she still has the energy to hold a 5th one.

Thanks Heather,

Bill

As promised, here is a list of highly sought after varieties from last years exchange. The names that appear on this list appeared frequently on wish lists, and in most cases we didn't have enough of that type to filll the wish list. Please keep in mind that there are hundreds of other types of seeds on wish lists. This list only includes those that appeared at a higher frequency level.

I will post a list of seeds that we tend to get way too much of or frequently appear on "do not want" lists shortly. Still working on that.

Here's a list of seeds we tend to get way too much of, or that frequently appear on "do not want" lists. The intention is not to restrict you from sending these seeds in. I realize there are a lot of newer participants that are just starting out and only have these types of seeds to share. By all means, send them in. We'll make sure you'll get some new varieties in return. This posting is made at the request of a number of participants that have asked for this info, in particular those that have lots of seeds to choose from, to help guide them a bit. Here goes:

TOMATOES

Brandywine regular
Green zebra
Large red cherry
Marglobe
Regular beefsteak (simply marked as beefsteak)
roma (regular)
Rutgers
Small red cherry
yellow pear

� A note on cherry tomatoes, we do tend to get a lot of cherry tomato seeds in. A number of members send in quite a few cherry tomatoes but indicate that they do not want cherry tomatoes back. If you send in cherry tomato seeds in, you will very likely get some cherry tomato seeds back (different ones than you sent in of course). This is to be fair because of the volume of these types we receive. There are lots of cherry tomatoes that appear on wish lists. Just want you to be aware that if you send some in, plan on getting some new cherries in return 

PEPPERS

California wonder
Cayenne Red (any kind of red hot- large or small)
Habanero orange
Hot cherry
Jalapeno regular
Mixes of any kind

Hopefully this info is helpful to some. Thanks....Heather

Alex

Alex

Just sent private messages to each of you with further detail. Please let me know if did not receive it.

DMForcier - cute picture :) It did not appear to me that you were actually signing up for this swap, so I have not sent you a message.

We're up to 88 participants so far.

And the pic is actually a mistake. I photoshopped it to read "7 Pot Luck" but that version seems to have gone on walkabout.

Please count me in. In fact, I thought I had sent this message days ago!!...and found out it didn't send!

I don't have a lot of varieties, but will certainly share what I have.

-m

I did get a previous posting from you and sent you a message via gardenweb. I just sent you another email, can you please confirm that you got it? Seems like the message might be getting blocked somehow. Thanks

Mark

We're up to 102 participants. I'll be accepting new signups until October 20th.

Jenny

Your lists of Highly Sought seeds and Do Not Send varieties is really helpful. I always have too many of everything I grow, and want to send out varieties that will folks will be excited (or at least appreciate) to receive.

Maybe you should put those lists at the end of your original post, so they don't get buried in the middle of 100+ responses. Advice to anyone who didn't see the lists: scroll up - they were posted about a week ago.

Thanks Heather for everything you have done for us over the years - Rick

Great suggestion Rick. Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I was out of town and I didn't have my act together this year. Just didn't have time to review last years lists until just recently, so wasn't in a position to post the sought after lists when I needed to get the swap started. Unfortunately gardenweb doesn't allow me to modify posts, so I can't make that change now. Hopefully next year I'll have more time to do all the prep work before starting the swap and post those lists right from the beginning.

We're up to a 109 participants.

A couple of friendly reminders for everyone...

1) Tomatillos are not accepted in this swap since they are not tomatoes.

2) Also, if you live outside of Canada, do not send stamps. They will not work outside of your home country. Please refer to the instructions on the cost of postage in Canada. (I've already had a couple of people tell me they mailed their seeds and sent return postage stamps, when they lived in the US). Thought it was worth posting another reminder on this.

Thanks everyone....Heather

We're now up to 113 participants. Still time to join in !

As I receive envelopes in the mail, I will post updates in this thread to advise. Please keep checking the thread periodically to see if your envelope has arrived.

Thanks....Heather

We're up to 122 participants.

We're up to 126 participants!

A little over a week left before you need to get your seeds in the mail. They need to be mailed by October 20th. If it's easier for you, you could always mail your seeds first and email me your wish list separately. I know a few people may want a bit more time to build their wish lists. That's fine.

Please rememeber to include a list of what seeds you are sending in your envelope. This is crucial for my organization process. If you don't send that list, I have to write one for you when your seeds arrive. It just saves me a lot of time. Thanks so much for your assistance.

There is a 10 bag limit, but shouldn't you make an exception for the rare peps? Surely everyone wants BJs, so someone that sends in 50 bags should be hailed as a national (okay continental) hero, not limited. Neh?

Dennis

15 seeds in a baggie is quite common with those that participate in the exchange. 10 seeds per seed packet/baggie is just the minimum seed count.

The limit of each seed type is actually 5 packets. (not 10 packets). I'm sorry, but no exceptions here, even if it's a rare pepper seed. There are a number of people that will send these in, and I have to stick to the 5 packs of each seed type limit to ensure there is enough variety. I have a number of people that do not want extreme hot peppers and lots of people are "tomato" only pepper...so would very much appreciate if everyone could stick with the limits I've posted.

Thanks....Heather

Glad you feel that way, that's why Heather mentioned bonus seeds are welcome and I threw in Bonus seeds Bhut and Trinidad Scorps, that way if people want those in their wish list there will be plenty.

Mark

Heather, what are the Canadian postal regs about thickness that you mention?

What should we expect to receive? Say I send 15 packets (3 x 5). Do I get back any mix of 15? Max of 3 types? Or do you play it by ear depending on what you have to distribute?

Oh, and do you print mailing labels on PayPal, or do you want physical sticky labels?

Thanks for doing this,
Dennis

If you sent in 15 packets, you would receive 15 packets (each of a different kind in return). My intent is to never send you duplicates of any seed type back...so you should have 15 new varieties in return. I do ask that you put together a wish list of seeds you'd like to try and I try my best to fill some of those wish list items for you as well. What I can send back, is very much dependant on what comes in, but I dip into my own stash where possible to help fill out some with lists.

I don't print labels from paypal. I need each participant to prepare their own label and put in in the envelope they send in. It doesn't have to be a sticky label..even name and address written on a piece of paper will do. I just don't have time to create everyone's return labels for them, so this helps me a lot if people can make sure that is done.

Canada post allows for a maximum thickness of 20mm for an envelope to count as letter mail. If for any reason, an envelope is too small and as a result it is too thick after I stuff it full of seeds, I'll swap it with a larger bubble envelope at my end to make sure it can still go as lettermail. Sometimes people send teensy weeny little envelopes. Bigger is better when it comes to this swap..LOL But it is not an issue if I need to change envelopes at my end to make it work.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if there are any additional questions.

Thanks...Heather

Thanks again for all the hours and work you put into this swap.

Sandy

Redthreaddiy...I'm very sorry, but the deadline for mailing seeds from the US is October 20th. I cannot begin to sort seeds for everyone until all envelopes are received, and I can't hold up the swap for everyone waiting for a late envelope. If you have any way of getting seeds in the mail by October 20th, please get back in touch with me. Otherwise, maybe you can join us next year. Your seeds will just not get here in time if you don't mail until Nov 1st.

Thanks....Heather

Welcome aboard redthreaddiy. I just sent you an email with further information. Please let me know right away if you do not receive it.

We're up to 129 participants.

A friendly reminder to everyone...if you live outside of Canada, your seeds must be in the mail by October 20th.

Thanks...Heather

Today I received seeds from:

* crystalline_ca
* lorabell

Thanks....Heather

Also, is it acceptable if the peppers or tomatoes were grown in proximity to others peppers and tomatoes?

Thanks

Frank

Reach for the Sun - have sent you an email to discuss further.

Detroitgirl77- welcome aboard. just sent you an email with further info. please let me know if you do not receive it.

Today I received seeds from "dirt daddy".

We're up to 131 participants. I'm still accepting new signups until Oct 20th, provided you get get your seeds in the mail by Oct 20th, if you live outside of Canada.

Thanks....Heather

Gary

Reach_for_the_sun - your email is bouncing back with an "invalid email address" from your internet provider. I clicked on the email address you had attached to your gardenweb profile. Please get in touch with me though my member page by clicking on my email address. Thanks...Heather

I'm still accepting new signups until Oct 20th (provided you can get your seeds in the mail Oct 20th).

Please let me know if you have mailed your seed package so I can update my records. thanks....Heather

Thanks

Go to USPS site to fill out and print a form. For City, use "Calgary, AB". For content type, use "Gift". For valuation use $0.10. For contents use "plant seeds", quantity 1.

It will output to a PDF file that you can then print directly. Be sure to sign and date both copies.

Then take that form(s) and your package to your PO to pay the postage. They will tell you how to attach it to the package. I'm interested in this myself since the standard Customs envelope is too big.

I don't know what the form number is that is used on letters, but it's a little green stick on customs form. Not everyone uses them, but those that do, just write seeds on it. No value or gift is fine as well.

Thanks

Be sure not to use "1" and not the actual quantity of seeds. That would throw into another form.

I'm just being cheeky. If you just have it in a bubble envelope that's not too thick, you should be able to just put the correct amount of lettermail postage on it and toss it in your local mailbox for pickup.

Good luck with your postal clerk. It amazes me the rules they make up as they go along.

---
As for how to attach the 2976 form to the envelope, the PO kept one copy, cut the other in half along the dotted line, and taped both halves to the front of the mailer.

---
Heather, the green tag on the packages you receive are not Customs or international stickers. They are Delivery Confirmation or Insurance stickers.

---
detroitgirl, try another one or a different postal worker. Or ask for the Postmaster. USPS has a set of restrictions, but she was stepping outside of her authority trying to enforce FDA (?) restrictions.

Canada customs has so far opened and inspected two envelopes that were sent in for this swap, and there were no issues. Sending seeds is just fine.

Thanks, jaynine. I couldn't find a green one at the PO. I used B&W. Sorry for the mis-information.

2976-a is for items valued over $400, and has at least 4 parts. You almost never see it for small shipments.

As you might have been able to guess, my package is on the way.

Large Envelope
Dimension Minimum* Maximum
Height 6-1/8 inches 12 inches
Length 11-1/2 inches 15 inches
Thickness 1/4 inch 3/4 inch
* Large envelopes exceed at least one of the minimum dimensions.

Prices: (International Rate - Canada and Mexico)
First-Class Mail International
Large Envelopes (flats)

Weight Not Over (ounces)
Canada Mexico
1 $1.50 $1.50
2 1.65 2.03
3 1.80 2.56
4 1.95 3.09
5 2.10 3.62
6 2.25 4.15

Pieces that are rigid, nonrectangular, or not uniformly thick pay package prices. (They are pretty lenient on the "uniformly thick" part as long as its not lumpy.)

I never bother with the customs form and my stuff has always made it to Calgary, but just in case, let the PO tell you what to do on that one.

Hope this helps.

PS Heather - my envelope was mailed today - Rick

Customs Form # LJ021848905US

Can't wait to see what types of goodies I'll get back!

Yes, it does, Rick. My mailer was too small so I eliminated Flats, but I didn't notice this key statement: Large envelopes exceed at least one of the minimum dimensions. In other words, those are not really minimums. "Small and fat" is also "Large envelope."

The more I think I learn about Postal regs, the less I actually know, it seems. And UPS is even worse!

Detroitgirl - maybe she just resents women who are more attractive than her. That's my take. Rick

We have 128 participating in this swap.

In the immortal words of Maxwell Smart...

I missed it by that much.

Seriously Heather, thank you for holding another Exchange. You're a busy lady and it's a lot of work. You're really banking up some good karma in your pepper and tomato accounts ;-)

Bill

Or was that just an excuse for a Get Smart reference?

[99 is still hot!]

Hey folks...now that we've closed this swap to new participants, I'm getting ready to post a bonus offer. You gotta be quick...so keep your eyes posted on this forum :)

Hi everyone,

Now that we're no longer accepting new signups, it's time to offer up some miscellaneous veggie seeds as bonuses. If interested, please post or message me with your TOP 15 CHOICES IN ORDER OF PRIORITY. Please do not message me saying "I'll take whatever you can share". Those types of requests go to the bottom of the pile, and you will likely lose out if you don't respond with your specific wish list on these items, as requested.

Requests are being filled on a first come first serve basis (I go by time stamps on postings and email). All of these seeds are being offered up only to the participants of this swap, including swap participants from other forums. There is no guarantee that you will get any, but if you are quick, and give me a long list to pick from, I'm sure you'll see some nice surprises in your envelope. I am not posting who will receive what from this bonus offer. You will get the surprises in your envelope. Some of the seeds are in very limited quantity, so if you are too late for one seed type, I can work my way down the rest of your list.

I will post a periodic update to indicate what's still available, but I do work full time, so my updates will be delayed, thus the reason I'm asking you to provide me with your top 15 choices.

I will reply to you to confirm receipt of your request the same day. If you do not hear back from me, I did not get your request. To make sure your request goes through, be sure to click on my actual email address in my gardenweb profile, and don't send a message via the gardenweb message system. It is unreliable.

Thank you to all of the generous participants who sent in these bonus veggie seeds to share with you. Your generosity makes this swap so much fun.

So, after that long preamble...here's the list:

Thanks Cheryl

Thanks for the great response. I have a ton of messages with wish lists to sort through on this, but have updated a couple of items I know for sure are out, based on the volume of responses I've put in my database so far. There may be others that I'm out of once I sort through all the lists, but that's why I'm asking you to give me a long wish list.

On another note - I screwed up, and forgot to enter 4 bonus seed types earlier (3 cucumbers and 1 zucchini). I have modified the list and put an * in front of the new additions.

If you'd like to swap anything on your original wish list for any of these new items, please let me know asap. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks.....Heather

I will not mention any names, but this is to notify those individuals, that I have no choice but to assume you are no longer in this swap. If your envelope arrives without any communication from you, it will be sent back "return to sender". I just wish you could have taken a second to send me a message....it would have saved me a great deal of time with followup. IF YOU HAVEN'T MAILED YOUR SEEDS, IT'S TOO LATE NOW...DON'T SEND THEM.

Thanks to everyone who took a moment to keep me up to date by posting updates or sending me an email. Your communication makes this job of coordinating the swap, so much smoother. Thanks again.
