new: ~fall seed round robin~

Debra Andruska
17 years ago

I would love to host a FALL Seed Robin.. I have plenty of seeds to share, plus have received so many in trades (robin boxes) that I can't use. Who's interested? Please post here.

Also, let's include some small 'gifts' (just to add to the fun). I'll include a seperate large ziplock bag for these items, plus a ziplock for the seeds (largest size-gallon). Gifts should be small, votives/candles, lotions, gloves, soaps, notepads, permanent markers, plant spikes, decorative things to put in pots, macrame hangers, plant markers, suncatchers, windchimes, anything really-homemade or store purchased.

Please take out whatever you want, but be thoughtful and replace with the same amount or more.

I'll use a flat-rate priority box (to keep costs reasonable). Please post when you receive the box, and when it's going out. And use delivery confirmation. I don't want the box to disappear.

Start going through your seeds...and collecting more! ;)The box will start it's flight on Sept. 4th. (MONDAY).

I'll post the flight list the last week of August (28th-Monday). This will give plenty of time to sign up, plus collect seeds, go through what you have.

Let the fun begin~


Thanks so much!

Deb

    chemically sensitive robin, a cool idea. I may take you up on it.

    I have very few seeds though, so I need to be creative to find a way to stock up the box. Maybe donations? I'll figure it out.

    What happens to all the seeds left over when the box returns to the host? I am thinking a veggie/herb robin would interest me. I am not much into the exotic flowers. I do like the wild native sort though. Don't be surprised to see a robin started by me, one of these days.

    I have a chemical sensitive web site. If anyone has mcs, there are lots of resources listed to help you out. The link is on my member page. I hope it is ok to mention this. I am not selling anything.

    Nancy and Nica, welcome to garden web. There are lots of things going on here and we are a friendly bunch.
    You can start getting ready for action by posting your have/want lists on your member page and telling a little about yourself and your gardens. That helps everyone know what things they might be able to swap with you.
    Have fun and happy swapping.

    Oh Deb, that's exciting. I must admit I'm thankful to be near the begining. One of the many reasons I seldom do RR's is that I have the patience of a gnat. LOL
    This one sounded exciting and I'm gathering up seeds to feed the birdie when she gets here.

    Hi Deb...sorry you didn't get my GW ID - I emailed it to you awhile back. We had to replace our computer hard drive - so I've had some computer problems and haven't been able to log onto GW lately. Anyway, I'm looking forward to participating and I'm sure it will be fun! - Lisa Moore

    The robin went out today! Summer, it's on the way! USPS tracking 0305 0830 0004 1527 2202.

    This swap is closed, sorry to those who signed up here, but information never made it to my personal email. The robin is only going to those on the previous list. If you sent your message/information through the garden web, it never made it to me.

    I'll post a new thread- "Fall Seed Robin's Flight Path"

    See you there! Post all new messages on the new thread.
