What is a Secret swap?

12 years ago

A Secret swap can be two different things, some are organized by a person who will have you send all the seeds to his/her address and then they divide them up and send different ones back to you. This kind of swap is usually seeds only.
Other Secret swaps are organized by a person who will get all the addresses of persons wishing to participate and then send you an address. You then send that person seeds or plants. You may be partnered with the same person that you are sending to or maybe not. This kind of Secret swap is usually done for Plant swaps.

Thats fine with me. if everyone else is game. A suprise package with arrival in Feb 13th. with seeds I wont make a limit but make it a package you would be happy to get. That sounds like a plan and will give people a chance to figure out what they have and get their seeds in one sock. LOL So if anyone else has nay ideas let me know. I will collect names and post them the last week of this month so please pm me your name /gw name and I will post a list in a couple of weeks.Also let me know if you want to do 1 or 2. Brandy I do have some special seeds I could only spare 1 or 2 of. LOL That way if I mess up I can sneak a few from you later. LOL

Sorry I missed this as well. I participated in a spring swap on Hallson's and I'm ready for doing some more swapping. I was fortunate enough to find a couple of willing participants here in the Lower Mainland and have managed to score some nice ones. Even though I don't have much if any more room, that has been that way for the last year and it hasn't stopped me. I'm game hostalover, drop me an email when you're getting ready to do the fall one! Guess in the meantime I'd better update my trade list here, but there's always the one I maintain on Hallson's, linked below. Pieter, Richmond, B.C. Here is a link that might be useful: Pieter's have and want lists

It's true! Good things come to those who are patient, and sometimes to those who aren't LOL!!! Brrejr sent a VERY generous package and my mailman (who knows me all too well) tracked me down at the pool and hand delivered it to me so they wouldn't sit in the heat waiting for me to come home. I am the lucky recipient of: Guardian Angel Pineapple Punch Blue Blazes Blue Arrow Blue Bunting Midwest Magic They are all having a drink in the kitchen and will be lounging there until the heat wave ends here. Thanks so much, I love them all! And thank you to Lelan for organizing. This is always a high point of the summer for me :-) Alexa
