NEW: Re-Mix swap

18 years ago

hello

I wanted to do a swap that was done last year(Hot Coctails) only I wanted to call it Re-Mixes. Nettasura hosted it last year and I contacted her to see if she was going to do it (I don't want to step on anyones toes)but I have not heard back so I'm gonna try.

the idea is: we all end up with packets of seeds that are "mixed zinnias" or "unknown marigolds" what netta did last year was, we all sent in our mixed or unknown ID seeds and she would mix all the zinnias and then divy them up for everyone that wanted zinnias. so insted of 1 or 2 kinds of mixed zinnias you could have 8 or 10 or 20 all in one packet.

the rules are the same as any of my swaps

1. no seeds older than 2006

2. send info sheet with name,GW name, address, what

you sent in, what you want back,what you don't want back

3. postage for return ( stamps or money is fine)

a. if you want delivery conf. let me know and send extra

for it

4. send all seeds in bubble mailer

5. post when you send

I would like seeds in by jan 31st. I will get them back asap and post when they are on there way

I will post the mixes I have seeds for but if you want another mix just post it and if we have enough people with those seeds I will add another mix, if we don't have enough people with seeds for a mix it will be scratched. if we don't have enough poeple to sign-up the swap will be canceled, this one is only reilly good with lots of seeds to mix.

Re-mixes

amazing amaranthus - amaranthus, love-lies-bleeding

absolutly agastashe- hysop, koren mint, or similar

coy columbines -

cozzy coneflowers - echnachas, rudbeckias

like I said if anyone wants to add a re-mix just post it and if enough people have some I'll do it.

please post here, it'll go to my e-mail

thanks micyrey

    Hi,

  • 18 years ago

    hello
    so many people are dropping from this swap I'm gonna cancel it, there will only be 4 people left.
    those that have sent seeds already I will return them.
    jessew - I have mixed your seeds with mine already so you will get mixes back.
    sorry everyone but it is too much work for so few players.

    Michelle,
    I'm sorry. I've been preoccupied with stuff for the last 2 weeks. And the weather has been really crappy. It seems like we have to shovel snow every other day for a week. And tonight they are saying 12-18". Oh, and thank you for the seeds you sent in the theme swap! You mentioned the pipe vine swallowtail. We have some here in Elkhart County, IN. I saw the catepillars on Dutchmens pipe at a local public garden! They are cool, but that vine will take over!
