LAst call for sign ups! I had the cut off date as the 3rd, but as long as I can receive your seeds by the 15th, you are invited!!!!!!!!!

lily55rjw, if oldroselover does not post to the vfst thread on the Round Robin Forum by tonight, I will let you know. In the meantime, you are welcome to join on your own. All you will need is 10 packs of seeds to send in. You can learn more by visiting the Round Robin Forum and reading the vfst thread, or email me if you have more questions. Thanks, Alana

Hello I am hosting a new swap in the round robin forum it is a wishlist swap. So if you are interested please check it out. Thanks Paula

well Suzanne.... it's not near as simple as it used to be. LOL Years ago a Round Robin, specifically was a "swap" hosted by someone with enough seeds to make up a nice selection that was sent around to those who signed up. Each took want they liked and replaced with equal number of seed packs of approximately equal value. For example you could replace marigolds with zinnias or BE Susans. Hellebores would be ok to swap for Japanese Iris or something else sorta "Special". It was OK to add some extra seeds but not "STUFF", ie candles, notepads etc. The box was then mailed to the next person on the list until it had flown around the circle and back home to it's own nest. It was decided that this cluttered up the regular forums as there were too many replies and follow ups and eventually the "Round Robin Forum" was set up for Any group trades. The trades morphed, over time to be a wide variety of types of swaps that involve more than two traders. I miss the old seed round robins but the new swaps are fun too. There are some where you need to be a member of a specific group and others that are open to anyone.The hostess sets the ground rules and they are generally posted at the start of the thread. Common sense and courtesy go a long way in making for happy trades and happy traders. Stick to the guidelines, send what you would like to receive and have fun. Many are for plants, most have at least a few seeds and some are for "garden oriented goodies" or other fun stuff. Hope this helps to answer your question. Others may have different interpretations and hopefully they will add to what I have written. Welcome to the forum and have fun. BB
