    Started a new thread since the original was getting so long.

    ===============
    Winter Sowing Seed Swap.
    We'll limit this to 20 people, so you'll need to send 20 packs of seeds, all the same or different, along with a return address label and postage.
    My address is in the address exchange.
    If you're new to winter sowing check out
    [HYPERLINK@www.wintersown.org]
    for idea's and seed suggestions.

    Have your seeds to me by November 30 so that I can mail them out before the Holiday rush and Winter Solstice.

    =================
    And just to summarize:

    o Use a bubble envelope or bubble wrap to send seeds to Alice;
    o Include 20 packets of seed;
    o The amount of seed is whatever you feel comfortable with. If you are looking for guidelines, see the Seed Trading Primer in Extras;
    o Can be all one seed type or different seed types;
    o You can use anything for seed packs, but make sure they won't fall out and tape is not in a location where seeds could stick. The glycine envelopes work best for tiny seeds as opposed to plastic;
    o Identify each seed pack with the contents and include your DG name (see Shirley's post on 9/15 at 4:22);
    o Include 63 cents in postage not coin;
    o Include a mailing label with your own address on it;
    o Do not use scotch tape to seal a reused bubble envelope; and
    o Write WS Swap on outside of the envelope sent to Alice.
