have: newbie seed project - sasbe

16 years ago

Newbie Seed Project 2007-08 has begun! This is my personal project to get as many seeds as I possibly can into the hands of new or inexperienced gardeners. Last year we sent more than 2000 packs of seeds to more than 250 gardeners. Currently we have sent 630 packs with 42 participants both noobs and donors. Donors are currently sending seeds and supplies, so this is a donation of my personal seeds and my time only.

Here are my rules:

A SASBE is a self-addressed stamped bubble envelope. Please enclose at least 3 stamps and an address label. Insert a note with your email address so I can let you know your SASBE is on its way. I will insert the seeds Â my choice and at least 10 packs.

A newbie is defined as: ANYONE new to growing from seed. Or, anyone who has grown from seed and wants to try more. The reason - these are basic seeds and an experienced trader might be disappointed. Most of my efforts are directed to the Winter Sowing Forum, but any method is good here.

Please do not answer this post unless you are serious about sending a SASBE. I keep the seeds set aside for 14 days and then back into the hopper they go.

Do not hesitate to ask questions. ItÂs a good idea to update your trade and member page so I can get an idea of the conditions you garden in and the types of flowers you like and already have. Make sure your email address is unblocked so I can reply to your request.

Enjoy!

Hi Bakemom, I've just joined this site and would love some of your newbie seeds. I am winter sowing for the first time and would appreciate a packet. I haven't set up my trade list yet but I am always looking for new salvia's, penstemon's, any perennials. Sending email for address.
Thanks,
Arlene

I have just joined Garden Web a couple of weeks ago and would love to receive anything that you have available. I will plant these seeds myself and would be grateful for a couple of seeds of each kind that you have available. I do intend to plant any seeds I receive to gather more seeds from them to trade later though.

Hi,

I would like in on this. I do have some seeds on my wish list, but would be happy to get any annuals/perennials.

Thanks

I would enjoy having some seeds. I am particulary interested in some of the more common annuals such as Love in a Puff, but would take perennials or shrubs, or ornamentals such as gourds.

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks!

Happyseed, your email is blocked and there is no email link on your member page. I have no way to contact you. This happens all the time to new members, but it is easy to fix. There is plenty of seed for all - we have send out 834 packs of seed so far this fall.

If I haven't contacted you, please let me know and be sure I have a way to do so.
