Some of my plants produced 100's of seeds and I'd like to share them with a few newbies. 7 is a lucky number, so I'll take the first 7 newbies who post here.
You'll get the following 10 packs of seeds:
Amaranthus Oeschberg - Upright Love Lies Bleeding
Datura Belle Blanche - fragrant moonflower bush (plant and seeds are toxic if ingested)
Four Oclocks - Fuscia
Four Oclocks - Custard and Cream (yellow and white striped)
Gourd - Speckled Swan Vine
Hibiscus - Mix of Dinnerplates - Moy Grande, Lune Blush, Pink
Hibiscus - Moy Grande - red
Hibiscus - Texas Star - red
Hyacinth Bean Vine - Purple
Japanese Iris - Epaulette - Dark velvety purple (won't come true from seeds)
The seeds are already packaged in 2 x 3 ziplock baggies and labeled.
To participate, follow these guidelines:
1. Post here if you're fairly new to gardening or growing/trading with seeds.
2. When I approve you, get a small bubble mailer (no envelopes with bubble wrap stuck in them!) and address it to me. I'll dmail you my addy.
3. Inside the bubble mailer, include the following items:
a. Adhesive Address label with your name and address. Make sure your label will cover my address on the outside of the mailer.
b. A note letting me know your DG name and that you're responding to my SASE offer
c. At least 10 ziplock baggies, size 2 x 3 or 3 x 5 to replace the ones I've already packed your seeds in. (Please, no sandwich bags and no homemade seed envelopes. Sorry!)
d. 4 first class postage stamps (I'm not sure how much exact postage will be, but I won't refund the difference as it will only be a few cents, if that. I'm NOT selling these seeds. Where else could you get 10 generous packs of seeds for less than $2 for shipping?)
4. Mail the bubble mailer to me so that I have it before October 10, 2009.
5. Wait. Don't email me daily asking if I've mailed your seeds yets. I will mail all seeds by October 16 after I've received all bubble mailers. Allow another week or so for them to arrive.
When I receive your bubble mailer, I'll recycle it, putting your address label over my address on the mailer. I'll fill your mailer with your seeds and send it back to you so you can reuse it.
Because I have an abundance of some of these seeds, I'll try to give you enough that you can grow some and trade some. Each of these were gathered from my own gardens and meticulously labeled. So they ARE what I say they are, no surprises. So you can trade them with confidence.
If you are not familiar with these plants, you can see pictures of them as they grow in my gardens at:
If you see something there that you like that isn't on this list above, mention it in your dmail. If it's another seed I have in abundance, I'll be happy to share. But some are in limited supply or for special trades only. It doesn't hurt to ask, though, does it?
Below is a picture of Hibiscus Luna Blush which is included in the Hibiscus Mix.
OK, this offer is now OPEN. No pushing, shoving, or fighting please. Single file line starts here ------>
