Seed box

Hi,

erm - i dont think i've got the time to organise all that, but it is a good idea :)
if you wanna do it i can send some seeds and would be interested in taking part but not organising it.

I don't mind organising it now might be a good time to start it I guess with all the planting happening at the mo!

I will message Andy hamilton and ask about starting a new thread?
Any seeds for starting would be greatfully recieved!

I'll dig out some seeds for starting to send you - i've already got your address from sending the others :)

Eh, did not get a mail. Do you want me to make an announcement or something?

It might be wiser to do a northern and southern hemisphere swap perhaps??

I would have thought that this needs to be done fairly quickly and could run in the same way as secret santa did. One person collecting names and addresses and passing them on. Not me by the way, i am crap at sorting that sort of stuff out. Been sacked from many an admin job

I have far too many seeds to warrant getting some more, will happily donate some though.

I did PM you but I have a prob with my computer at the mo it keeps crashing at the vital mo.!! Yes it would be great if you could make an anouncement. Also just wondered if there was a safer way of people sending the seeds, rather than giving out my address to lots of people! There is a local health food shop that might alow them to be delivered there and I could collect a couple of times a week.

Will PM you my address for any seedy you might like to off load!!!

As I said how about doing a secret santa way of doing this. One person collects everyones address then the person in charge passes on the address to each other person.

That way everyone just sends the seeds to another person instead of having to get someone else involved. The downside of course is that you could give away some seeds and get the same ones back again.

What a good idea, a bit of fun if nothing else!! Sorry I missed the secret part of secret santa and thought you were being funny suggesting I could deliver them in a sleigh!!!
Why doesn't every one PM their address and I will mail them on then iff we all agree to send an approxamate amount of seeds no one should be disapointed!

Ok, I have set up the forum so that you can put a sticky up and ask people to pm their address to you.

I think this is a really good idea! I seed swap with my son, he buys some and I buy some and we have some of each, but I still have some left over and would be quite happy to swap.

So is this all on a new thread now, and if so, where do I find it?

Thanks. S.

This could be fun!
