NEW: Fall Harvest Fresh Seed Swap

angel14437
16 years ago

This is a FRESH SEED ONLY swap. I hosted this a few years ago and it was very successful. It is also a great way to share seed that you have in abundance and receive new seeds!

Here's how it works:


-Sign up here on this forum (be sure that I have

access to your E-mail). OR E-mail me at

fallseedswap07@yahoo.com to sign up. Once you

have signed up for the swap, I will send you address

to send seeds to and these easy rules for the swap.

-You may post some of your wants on this post when you

sign up...that way other participants can maybe

fulfill your wishes.

-Harvest, dry and package your fresh seeds. Mark

clearly with name of seed and any other info.

FRESHLY HARVESTED SEED ONLY PLEASE.

-Send your seeds (you will receive back as many seeds

as you send. Limit of 15 packages of same seed),

return postage (as much postage as

it took to mail to me),and your return address label

in a bubble envelope. Also send your trade list or a

list of seeds you are interested in...such as Flowers

no veggies, looking for white or red flowering

annuals, vines, etc. I will match everyones wants as

best I can.

-Mail in seeds by September 30.

-Any fresh seed is welcome!

-This will be fun!

    Tammy, I sent you some double gloriosa daisy seeds too. I think I killed the 2 plants I dug for the NO LIMIT SWAP or I would have sent it this time. I was thinking the other day about when Brooke will have to go to school. I've got to admit I got a little misty eyed just thinking about it:( Dan, I can't wait to get all new plants. YEAH! Sorry, Just getting a little excited. I am going to be so busy between this swap and the no limit swap. Denise Denise

    NEW: Back to School- Fall Fresh Seed Spectacular Swap 2010

    Q

    Comments (131)
    I am back with a question. These did not have the sender's name on the packet so I have to address my query generally. I received a packet labeled simply "creeping yellow daisy". It may be just what I have been looking for. Would whoever sent that please let me know what it is-just the Genus would be a big help! As far as I know it could be a Sanvitalia, Wedelia trilobata, or Chrysanthemum paludosum, but I am sure there are other possibilities. Thanks! Alana

    27 people have posted they received theirs so far... I didn't go back and check but I think there were a lot more than that who signed up. Granted, not everybody comes back to post they received theirs. I also requested nothing back if it wasn't on my wants list, but just wondering if that's going to be the case - could you let me know, please, Willie? Thanks either way. :] Terri

    How many different seed swaps are there going to be? I've noticed at least 2 besides this one.

  • angel14437
    Original Author
    16 years ago

    Hi everyone!

    rockyridge...there may be several seed swaps going on at once. It depends on which ones interest you and which ones you want to join. In my opinion the swaps with the largest number of people participating are the most successful. Like this one! LOL I hope that answers your question!

    Chris

  • etravia
    16 years ago

    I'm in 4 RR trades now! (what am I thinking?). I'm sending different seeds to each one. Some seeds are not ready yet, so those will go in the one that ends in November. Even if I get duplicates that's okay. I'm going to try a little of them all! This is fun!

    jackier123.....I received your seeds today. What a great assortment! Thanks for the 'extras' for me.

    There is still time to sign up as long as you can get your seeds in by September 31st.

    Does anyone think that I should repost this thread on the forum or post an update on this thread? This is getting long.

    I will post when I receive your seeds!

    Welcome rocky44.....Please e-mail me at fallseedswap07@yahoo.com. I sent you an e-mail through GW, but I don't know how reliable that is. I will reply to your e-mail with the guidelines for the swap.

    Everyone remember to list your wants and don't wants and send the list with your seeds or post on here. It will help me to select the 'right' seeds for you.

    Thanks!

    Hi everyone!

    There are 42 signed up for the swap so far.

    shadyside....I'm sorry! Did you e-mail me at fallseedswap07@yahoo.com? GW is not allowing me to change my e-mail that I have listed as part of my member page. I should get it at the above address. Try again? Thanks!

    I am going to start an updated thread to post when I receive seeds.

    Happy Harvesting!

    Hi, Chris - I put a package in the mail this morning to you - this is shaping up to be a great swap!

  • shimla
    16 years ago

    I would like to participate! Please send me your addy and I'll have a large package out to you by the end of the month.

    I don't want any veggies back if you can help it.

    I'm working on putting in shade gardens but have ample room for sun lovers and I love annuals from swaps. I'll do trees and shrubs too, I'd love to start growing some things not so common.

  • shadyside
    16 years ago

    Hi Chris--thanks for fixing that problem. I'm busy gathering seeds and will mail soon.--Susan--Shadyside

  • limequilla
    16 years ago

    Chris, Do you want us to post what we want, or what we are sending?

    If it's what we want, I want annuals under 24". And Red Annuals, any height.

    I'll wait to hear from you on whether I should post what I am sending.

    I guess you are still taking people, too, right? As long as they can get the seeds sent to you by the 30th, right? Sounds like this will be a really big swap, and those are always a lot of fun!!

    Hi Lime

    You can post what you want here or in a note enclosed with your seeds. You don't need to post what you are sending. I will also check your trade lists, so be sure thay are updated.

    As long as you can get seeds in by end of September you can join this swap.

    I agree the swaps with more people are the best!

    I started an update on this swap in this forum.. I will post there when I receive your seeds. You can also post there with any questions or to post your wants. I think it's a good idea to post your wants here...that way everyone can see them and they might have what you are looking for that they might not have sent in otherwise.
