I didn't find your note and stamps for a while as they were stuck behind a flap of cardboard and didn't fall out when I shook the box. Don't worry, there's nothing left in there now - I've almost dismembered it checking.

Excitement brewing!

I am getting my seeds together - honestly they will be in the post this evening. Ready for collection first thing tomorrow.
I don't have a huge amount of commercial seed packets - but Ive a few things that I saved after xmas...also a few that I swapped in a seed swap yesterday.
I tried vebena hastata from bought seed a few times - none ever came up. I bought some plants last summer in the end - but i want loads not just a couple. I tried seed from these plants this year and I have had fantastic germination. So they are going in.
Are we splitting the commercial bags? Or have you left them whole?
RE: 2023 - Random Seed Swap - Veggie - 02-04-2023
re. commercial bags/splitting - depends on how many seeds are in the packet. I've had some beans that have been split which makes sense and some part packet/leftover commercial.
Depends on whether you can be bothered to split them - you're sure to have more back than you submit because of SC's bumper bundle.

I don't think I'm going to be organised enough for this swap. Annoying, as I purposefully bought interesting seeds to share this year! Never mind, there's always next time
RE: 2023 - Random Seed Swap - Veggie - 02-04-2023
What can't you do, Pros? If you can bung the seeds in an envelope and post it, I can do the rest! I'll pay the return postage from the Stamp Bank.
It would be a pity to miss this swap as SC has sent lots of extra seeds to share.

I might be able to put something together this evening to go out with the post tomorrow. Would that be ok Veggie? I'm really strapped for time, so it might slip to Tuesday.
RE: 2023 - Random Seed Swap - Veggie - 02-04-2023
That's OK, Sarriss. As long as they're with me by the 14th.
RE: 2023 - Random Seed Swap - Proserpina - 03-04-2023
I have the stamps, but not any envelopes to split seeds into and I'd mostly be sharing seeds where I also want to keep some for myself. My fault for not venturing out into the rain to buy any while I've been off, but I'm now on nights and dealing with another big leak in my house.
When was the deadline again?
RE: 2023 - Random Seed Swap - Veggie - 03-04-2023
Make some origami envelopes?
The deadline is 14th April - go on, you know you want to.
