THIS SWAP IS CLOSED!!!

The end of the year is fast approaching and I hope all participants are preparing for this MG group seed swap. For those in the swap, please follow the swap participation requests that I have listed below to ensure that this is a wonderful experience for everyone!

This is what I would like from everyone in the swap. Please send: (UPDATED on December 1st)

1) A 8.5 x 11 inch bubble envelope. This bubble envie will be used to send the swap seeds back to you.
2) All the LABELED packets of seeds that YOU are sharing with others. Seed packets should each contain 3-5 (or more) seeds. Each packet needs to be labeled with the: A) Cultivar of the MG (if known), B) Species of MG seeds, C) Your DG name, and D) Season and Year seeds were collected.
3) YOUR return address label (printed please!) This can be a label typed up on printer paper that I can tape (using packaging tape) to the front of your bubble envie.
4) A check (or cash) for return postage and Delivery Confirmation (in the amount of $5.00 which should cover it all) I haven't figured out yet how to handle the postage cost for folks outside of the USA. I will privately discuss this in a dmail with those individuals as they contact me.

PLEASE NOTE: I would like to request that EVERYONE (except those outside of the USA) participating in this swap, send their seeds/bubble envie to me by Delivery Confirmation. (It's only $.80 and well worth it to make sure that I get your envie and seeds!) Dmail me for my mailing address when you are ready to send your seeds to me. I can not be responsible for any seeds that I don't receive.

I need everyone's seeds received by January 15th, 2010.

You can send them any time AFTER Dec. 1st, but Jan. 15th is the cut-off date. Maximum of 18 packets of seeds per cultivar so that each participant gets one of your seed packets. I am hoping everyone participating will have enough seeds to share so that each person in the swap gets a packet (per cultivar) from you.

If you have other seeds (not MG) to share but maybe not enough to share with everyone, please list your seeds and they will be given to the first folks to request them. The person sending them will have to either mark them for that person or drop a note in their bubble envie as to who gets what seeds. I leave it up to the sendee to keep track of who gets your seeds.

Any questions, please post in this thread.

THANK YOU!

I will add a note next to each participant's name in the list above when I receive their bubble envie and seeds. So when you send them to me, keep an eye on this list to check to see that I have indeed received your seeds within a week after you mail them out to me. :-)

This thread will be used for further discussions and information concerning this swap. :-)

So ... start getting your seeds collected, bagged, and tagged! I need to receive everyone's seeds by the middle of January. :-)
