NEW: ****Clean Out The Seed Box Swap****

Michelle Reynolds
14 years ago

Hello

This will be a straight swap for all the seeds you just didn't use this year and for us to stock up the seed box for new things for next year.

please make sure all seeds are clearly marked, no older than 07 please, and packaged so they don't leak out.

send in a bubble envie with postage or money for return shipping depending on how much you send, it is much easyer to go to the post office with money for shipping rather than 20 or so envies and dozens of diffrent kinds of stamps, so if you send stamps please make them all forever stamps.

you will get back the same amount of seeds or more than you send or less if that is what you want. if you send bonus seeds to be donated please mark them.

sign ups will go till may 15th, I would like seeds in by june 1st, or at least in the mail by then.

if you want to make sure you don't get back any seeds you sent please send a list of what seeds you are sending or mark each pack with your GW name.

please include your real name/GW name/ address in you envie.

there is no limit on seeds send as few or as many as you want, but if you send in over 100 and we don't have many players you may not get much veriety.

please have at least 15 to 20 seeds in each packet, but if you have packs with less feel free to post a list of only those seeds you have less than 15 seeds in the packet and if players want them they can claim them. if someone claims them please mark them for the player to get them.

if you have any questions please post them here.

thank you

michelle

      if I missed anyone please let me know I'm no as organized as I am in the winter, I get distracted by the nice weather.

    jackie- the envelope should be padded bubble envelope, or wrap a bit of bubble wrap around the seeds then put them in a manila envie. the seeds should be seeds you don't need, 10 or more seeds in each baggie of seeds, you can send $ for postage $1.50 or $2 should be fine for upto 30 or 40 bagies of seeds.

    well I'll continue posting when I get envies in
    thanks everyone

    Hello All-Michelle is going to be out of contact for about a week. Her computer had an accident and she is out now shopping for a new one. If anyone needs her address please email me and I'll send it to you.

    Linda-I'm sending prayers and warm thoughts to your mom.

    Hi Michelle,

    My seeds are in the mail! Hope your (new) computer is up & running soon.

    Linda, sorry to hear about your Mom. We had a scare with my Mom last year. Fortunately, they were able to get things back under control using medication. My Mom was still in the hospital for a week & a half while they tried to regulate her blood pressure & blood thinner levels.

    Mariann, thanks for stepping up & helping out with the swap.

    I am almost done getting my gardens weeded, mulched, and seeded with new flower seeds. I will be sorting through and compiling my list this weekend and have them in the mail by Tuesday or Wednesday. That should get them to you before the June 1st dealine.

    I definitely have too many seeds. I can share plus keep some for any replacements for anything that does not germinate the first time through. We have had a sunny dry week with 80 plus today. Not a great germinating situation. I am trying to keep things moist but it gets tough on work days. I am certainly not complaining about this long overdue great weather.

    I can't believe it is almost time to start the circle of harvesting again. LOL I have the early spring blooming plants almost ready to give up their seeds. I just can't let a good seed go with out being harvested.

    Hi all,

    Between the frosts and then hot days, I have lost a number of seedlings (wish I had that greenhouse!). I need to replant, so don't know what I have to send, and sorting it out will take a while. Sorry for dropping out so late in the game, but hopefully next year will work out!

    hello
    ok I was going through the envies and someone sent me an envie with no name, no return address, no GW name no return postage and no note. I can not give you credit for this unless I know who sent it. I also can't return it becouse I don't have a return address, so I am at a loss of what to do with them.
    if you can identify them please let me know.
    thanks

  • smitties

    My seed package went out yesterday. I got down to the post office and realized I had not brought the postage money with me. I knew I wouldn't be back in town for a couple of days so tossed stamps inside the package to cover the cost of sending back.

    Please keep most of the seeds for extras and don't worry about making sure I get back as many as I sent. My goal was to get rid of seeds. :) Just a few in return would be fine. If you happen to get some things on my "wants", that would be great too.

    Again, thanks for hosting this exchange. Margo

    Michelle,
    Can you post who's packages you did receive and how many unknown packages you received? It may help if someone knows they sent in their seeds but you don't list their name.

    Michelle,

    Hi! I mailed my package when I said, but I found it Tuesday on the counter under a pile. One of my kids must have gotten the mail and put it on the counter. It came back for more postage due! Anyways I took it yesterday to the P.O. got more postage and you should have it by the weekend. So sorry for the delay.

    Lorraine

  • divahethr
    14 years ago

    they are getting ridiculous with their postage dues. If I stick 3 stamps it comes back but if I go to the counter it's $1.22

  • paradisa
    14 years ago

    I hear ya. It is never the same cost twice, even though the envelopes have the same amt.of seeds or just a card in them. It is frustrating to say the least.

  • smitties
    14 years ago

    Glad to see mine finally arrived. You just never know about the post office.

    I love how they report that the cost of a stamp will go up but they fail to mention that the other mailing costs are going up as well. I know I don't send letters like I used to but I sure mail a heck of a lot more packages then I ever have.

    I find it hard to believe they don't have as much business as they used with all the online shipping and auctions. You would think they have a lot more product shipping.

    hello
    I got 2 more yesterday, are these all that are on the way? I have not heard from several people since thay signed up, so I'm guessing they dropped. if I don't hear from anyone in a day or so I'm gonna call this one closed and start sorting, so if you sent and do not see your envie receved please let me know ASAP>>>

    Thank you so much for hosting this RR. Appreciate all your time spent. It has been a fun one. So excited - can't wait to see what seeds I'll give a new home to. I'll definately be stalking the mailman! LOL

    This is my first time growing flowers from seeds, I winter sowed some and they came up good. Only problem are the ones the sun faded the markers on - those will be surprises!

    Thanks to everyone else for sharing your seeds!
