3rd Annual Seed Addicts Swap

intheforest
18 years ago

Thanks for looking...

This swap was a hit last year and gets bigger each year.

Any seeds are great: flower, shade, natives, veggies, etc.

Here are the guidelines:

Deadline for mailing to me will be February 28th, all seed packets need to be sent in by this time.

Please include:

* Return postage -same or more than it took you to mail (Minimum .63 for small and newbies).

* Address Label

* Garden web name

* List of what you sent and also wish list (maybe you'll get a wish or two?)

I will return seeds the 1st week in March or as soon as all seeds are in.

You can send duplicates, but only 2 of the same

seed if they are very common. You will receive the same amount of packets as you send in and any "Bonus" seeds . Anyone wanting to donate "Bonus" seeds please lable them as "Bonus" or separate them and I will distribute them to other swappers or newbies. Newbies should send postage and write newbie on envelope.

FYI -I can only include bonuses if you have adequate return postage to allow-you may want an extra stamp (ex-if it only took you .60 to send. but you sent 22 extra-lightweight pkts) often seeds from others can weigh differently due to way they are packaged/size of seed, too.

Happy sowing,

Abbey

please package & lable seeds well

    I hope to get them out yet this week, but it is going much slower than expected. A month ago the twins hit some 2 1/2 milestone where they became that terrible 2 I always heard about-yikes! My little bit of free time is non-existant now-they won't even take their naps anymore (just 5 wks ago they were taking 2 1/2-3 hr naps.
    I am making steady headway though (and may have a nap solution).

    Seeds will be out soon-lots of great stuff

    Hope you all enjoy-

    Good Afternoon Abbey and fellow gardeners,
    Well, I got my seeds this morning, and like everyone else, I am pleasantly surprised. There was a great variety of seeds, and I received several that I was very pleased to get...especially HH 'Creme De Cassis', some special dianthus, salvia, asters, etc....I could go on.
    Thanks for hosting this swap, Abbey...and thanks to all for sharing your cherished seeds!
