Bulk Cosmic Cosmos Seed for Trade or BEAP

13 years ago

I have thousands of Cosmos sulphureus "Cosmic Orange" cosmos seed available. They were hand-harvested in late summer and fall of 2010 from the rows I planted in my veggie gardens to attract beneficial insects. The full-sun plants reached four feet in height and five feet in width and were stunning.

Here is your chance to get bulk seed of one variety to do a large planting. These seeds were intentionally harvested for a GW winter BEAP offer. I want them to find good homes and not go to waste. You can use them, give them to friends, or trade them, whatever - I do not care - but if I find they are being sold on online auction sites or seeds-for-purchase swap sites I will never do BEAP offers like this again.

Seeds in quantities by the hundreds (estimated by weight) up to 500 per person. If you have something to offer me in trade from my *priority* want lists I would really appreciate it but is not necessary.

Here are the details:

If you are a long-time member with recent GW posts and recent positive reviews I will mail you the seed and you can send me reimbursement upon receipt. This is at my discretion and I reserve the right to ask you to use the following method instead.

For everyone else:

Once I agree to send you what you are requesting, you will mail me the correct bubble envelope size with the correct number of stamps inside and a note listing your name, GW nickname, shipping address, variety, and quantity of that variety. Envelope size and quantity of stamps depends on how many seeds you want from me. If the package needs fewer stamps than you sent me, the extra stamps will be returned in your package of seed. I will round off postage and will not send change or smaller denomination stamps. You are getting free seed, after all.

I look forward to hearing from you. Any questions do not hesitate to ask me.

Thanks,

-Tom

Thanks for your interest, Doreen. I sent you an email.

In case there is any misunderstanding - if someone has something on my wants lists to trade with me that is great but I am not expecting an even trade. The standard 25 count seed trade per variety is fine with me. The main point of this offer is to get my cosmos seed out to folks who want it.

Thanks,
-Tom

I severely underestimated how much seed I have so minimum request is 500 seeds and maximum request is 1000. 1000 seeds weighs approximately one-half ounce. I will consider special requests of 2000 but I reserve the right to decline for any reason and send 1000 instead.

500 seed count - 4 by 7 bubble envie and 2 first class stamps.
1000 seed count - 4 by 7 bubble envie and 3 first class stamps.
2000 seed count - 6 by 9 bubble envie and 4 first class stamps.

I hope this helps. Sorry I am muddling this up.

Hi Tom,

Last summer I opened up a garden bed in full sun and wanted to have some easy care flowers growing there this summer. I know that Cosmos are easy to grow and would love to have some. I can send you a 4x7 envelope and 2 postage stamps unless you find something of interest to you on my have list.

Thanks so much!

I would be delighted to receive your offer of cosmos seeds in whatever amount that you may choose to share- if a 6x9 bubble envelope would be acceptable. That is the only size my little local store carries and I don't get into the city but once a month or so /-:

Hello Tom,

I grew a bunch last season and they were the light and dark pink variety. If you still have any left, I would appreciate it if you can send me 1 pkg of 500 seed count.

Thank you

Hi Lisa - I sent you an email.

I have qty. 4 - 500ct. packs of cosmos left. You can still request 500 or 1000 (I simply send two 500ct. packs - they stay flatter in the padded envelope that way).
