A different type of swap

[zazen999]

Good-o!

I'm just printing out labels for my buckets of beetroot and parsnips...so hope there are some taker

[Bigmallly]

Good luck Zaz........my little brain can't imagine the size of the task you are undertaking. I hope it's a massive success.

Brilliant idea!! Are we doing flowers or just veg?

I've got some to donate and should get round to doing some seed parcels or something this year.

[zazen999]

Flowers, herbs and veg

Right - first batch on.

Rules to be confirmed and it might mean opening a paypal account for non-swappers - so until that is sorted in my head [cheques won't work as it takes too long] we'll just do swaps and test out the system....

Link to first batch of seeds - is this visible to everyone who clicks on it?

For now, usual seed swap rules apply; and no more than 3 of any one type allowed in any one swap....numbers to be in each pack for swap will be the same or close to the ones in the listing....yada yada yada....

Once we have done a few - and ironed out the quirks - I'll put a separate thread up.

Spot on Zaz & so easy to use being in alphabetical order.

I'm sure you are aware Zaz but anyone visiting the vine & seeing the link can view the spreadsheet. Could that cause you a problem?

Not sure, of course usual rules apply so I'll only be swapping with peeps here for now...that's why I thought I'd tuck it in here for the time being.

Right - so if I want (say) no. 3 and no.10, do I PM you with my want, and with what I will send, then you pm me the address to which to send my seeds/SAE?

[zazen999]

*Will add more as and when.

Yes, absolutely!

I'll amend the spreadsheet to show available amounts as people want them...

I am going to do an 'equals' table, for all the different types so 6 peppers = 10 tomatoes = 5 cucurbits = 30 brassicas = 50 onions etc; so that the swap stays or increases and doesn't decrease!

And obviously we will work through any other problems as we go - I thought it best to get some up and running now but have got loads of Heritage/OP stuff to add before I let anyone send anything. Lots of peas from 2 years ago for example....

[Hazel at the Hill]

Just a thought on logistics - I'd ask peeps to write on the back of their SAE what seeds they've sent you, what they've asked for & their Vine name.

[zazen999]

Definitely! Been there several times!

[FROSTYFRECKLE]

I can see the spreadsheet fine. Oh, what a lovely list of seeds Tempting, so, so tempting.

[Dane End Dolly]

Oh god Zazen what are you doing to me, I can see I am going to have yet another major sort out this weekend

It is a very impressive list already and as Frosty said tempting, so so tempting
