Now that the basic season for w/s is over, most of us are planning on what we want to sow for next winter. Would anyone be interested in a seed swap? I'm sure most of us have quite a bit of left over seed and I would gladly host it. I think the last swap was a success. If you are interested let me know. If we have enough takers, I'll edit this with the rules.
SEED SWAP RULES
For those who haven't sent their packages yet, the Postage is increased to $0.75 - I didn't take into account that the price had gone up since the last time I ran the swap. I just weighed the package I received today and checked on the USPS website.
Let's make the swap 10 packets of seeds for those that don't have alot to share. ALL SEED ENTRIES MUST BE RECEIVED on or before June 30th. Based upon my experience with other swaps, I will not wait on late entries.
Use a bubble envelope or bubble wrap to send seeds to Anita [my address is in the exchange-Anitabryk2];
o Include 10 packets of seed; - no more / no less - please
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
o Include 75 cents in postage not coin;
o Include a mailing label with your own address on it which I will use to mail the items back - so please make it big enough and clear enough for the postman to read
o I will reuse the bubble envelope you send the seed packs in. Please make sure it is in good shape and will survive the round trip. I have found the 6x9 bubble envelopes work the best.
o Write WS Swap on outside of the envelope sent to Anita.
o Include a list of the seeds enclosed - please. It will make it a bit easier to make sure that everyone gets something different than what they sent.
