Hi ddkcat. Sorry, I'm new to seeds and I don't have any flowers yet. focusing on Toms. right now.

Hi Cryptid, Let's trade. This is my first trade. What is appropriate quantity I should send?

Thanks,
Bill

Hey there, Bill! Speaking for myself, only, when it comes to smallish seeds like tomato or pepper, I usually try to send at least 15 to 20 or so,...more, if I'm blessed with a bunch of `em. Thing is, I rarely actually count, I just sort of eyeball it. OTOH, say you only have about 20 seeds, period, and you don't want to dump `em all in one trade, you could let people know up front that you are offering, say, 2 trades of 10 seeds each. That way, people can go for it as is, or else propose a counter offer of some kind. - In our case, here, I can afford to be fairly generous considering the amount of each that I have to offer. So, how about 15 or so of your seeds, each, for mine? I promise you won't be disappointed. :)

As a rule, I would suggest being as reasonably generous as you feel comfortable with, depending on how many seeds you have to trade.

Meanwhile, I suggest you check out my thread over in the "Rate & Review Exchanges" forum by clicking the link below.

Hey Cryptid,

Sounds great. Thanks for the advicce. I'll get some seeds in the mail to you right away. I guess you send me your address now?

Talk to you soon.

Thanks,
Bill

Kewl! - Okay, here's what you do,...first, highlight and copy your subject line "RE: Heirloom tomato seeds to trade" so you can paste it into the subject header of the email you'll be sending me. Next, click, above, where it says "(My Page)", which will take you to my member page. Once there, click on "Send me an email" and, when the email page comes up, paste in the subject line that you copied from here. Now, go ahead and send me a message that contains your email address and "real" world address, and I'll reply with my postal address. :)

Oh yeah, a couple other things:

1) Whenever you send seeds, the vastly preferred method is to send them in a "bubble envelope" (usually 4"X7" or 6"X9", depending on the amount of seeds you're sending) to protect them from being crushed by postal machinery, etc. To save yourself money, try to recycle/reuse the bubble envies you receive from others if you can.

2) Please click on the link, below, for instructions on how to edit your member page so that you'll be able to receive email from other GW members. :) - Lookin' forward to our trade!
