General rules for swapping - Veggie - 20-05-2020 We encourage seed swapping between Forum members - its great to share! If there is enough interest, we hope to have some seed swap circles in the autumn for you to share your self saved seeds and/or commercial seeds. Arrangements for these will follow. Swaps between individuals are welcome so, if you have unwanted seeds please offer them here and see what you are offered in return.  If there are any seeds that you need, just ask. Somebody here may be able to help. You will be expected to pay the postage in any arrangement. All swaps are to be arranged privately between individuals and the Moderators will not be involved if there are any disputes (have to say that, just in case!!). RE: General rules for swapping - JJB - 24-05-2020 Thanks Veggie might make me have a sort out and offer some of those spare free turnip seeds around that I know I'll never grow. RE: General rules for swapping - Vinny - 24-05-2020 Thanks Veggie. I have never got involved in the seed swaps so wondered, when offering seeds do they need to be in unopened in-date packets or are opened packets permissible? RE: General rules for swapping - Mikey - 24-05-2020 I would have thought the latter Vinny, as you bought the seeds for a purpose but, have more than you want so you give away the extras. I don't do Turnips either JJB, I like swede but, not so keen on turnips. RE: General rules for swapping - Veggie - 24-05-2020 Preferably in date - as you wouldn't really want to receive old seeds from someone in return.! Offers could be like:- Milan purple Top turnips, sow by 09/20 - part sown or unopened. Black Icicle tomatoes - saved 2019 Pattypan squash - sow by 2020 - 10 seeds. Give the name of the supplier if you can, especially for the smaller companies like Real Seeds, HSL, or whether they're organically grown. Give as much information as you would like to know if you were tempted to grow them. Requests could be :- Wanted Cucamelon seeds. Can swap for (list what you have) or send SAE.
