Have: Seeds for Postage

16 years ago

I have the following seeds for postage (please read guidelines below):

Vegetables:

Artichoke - Imperial Star (partial 2009 commercial pack)

Beet - Burpee's Golden Globe (2009 commercial pack)

Beet - Chioggia (2009 commercial pack)

Beet - Crapaudine (2009 commercial pack)

Beet - Detroit Dark Red, Med Top (2009 commercial pack)

Green Bean - Tobacco Worm (homegrown in 2008 and refrigerated since harvest) I actually have quite a lot, so specify amount you need.

Pepper - Serrano chili (partial 2009 commercial pack)

Tomato - Sun Gold (partial 2009 commercial pack)

Perennials:

Asclepias syriaca - flowers smell heavenly (multiple packs)

Baptisia australis - Blue Wild Indigo

Belamcanda chinensis - Blackberry Lily

Cimicifuga racemosa - Black Cohosh (multiple packs)

Crocosmia - seeds from 'Lucifer' (multiple packs)

Manfreda - hardy succulent (multiple packs)

Passiflora incarnata - hardy Passion Flower (multiple packs)

Solanum ovigerum - Ornamental Eggplant

Annuals:

Ceratotheca triloba - South African Foxglove (couple of packs)

Trees and shrubs:

Cryptomeria japonica - Japanese Cedar (multiple packs)

Pseudocydonia sinensis - Chinese Quince

----------------------------------------------------------

Guidelines:

These are mostly common sense requests, but you might be surprised at some of the crazy responses I sometimes receive.

1. I'd love to do exchanges if you have something I want, but I'm pretty picky. So, I expect most of these transactions will be for postage. (see my exchange list for what I like.)

2. I am willing to supply the bubble envelope but (unless we do a seed swap) will expect you to send postage. Most packets will require (3) first class stamps. Don't even think about asking me to send in a plain envelope to save postage.

3. If you don't plan on sending the postage quickly, please don't respond. It's not fair to me or others for me to have to hold the seeds forever to see if you are actually going to respond.

4. I won't send single packs! You need to pick out at least (4) types of seeds that you want. Or, I can pick some surprise varieties if you can't make up your mind. It's a waste of postage to ship just one type.

5. It might be a good idea to look over this entire thread to see what others have already asked for, and to check how many were offered, before making requests.

6. Please post what you want here AND send me an email that includes your return email address, your gardenweb name, your actual name and address, and the seeds you want.

    I have both of yourall's requests reserved for you, and sent confirming emails. That means the Baptisia australis (Blue Wild Indigo) is spoken for now, but some of everything else is still available.

    Good Morning Brandon,

    if you have any
    Cimicifuga racemosa - Black Cohosh (multiple packs) left I would love to take u up on your offer. thanks.

  • 16 years ago

    ------------------ This offer is now closed. ------------------

    I've gotten many responses (including one or two that didn't read the entire post). I am still in the process of getting back with some of the last few people that responded, so, if you followed the guidelines and still haven't heard from me, I'll probably be able to contact you by tomorrow. I've received way more response than I expected (including some that didn't post here) and have been bagging seeds like mad to try to keep up. I'll try to have everyone contacted by sometime tomorrow.

    Thanks for helping me find a home for my extra seeds!
    Brandon
