The Seed Parcels

[northepaul]

I will have some chilli seeds to donate to the chilli parcel, from the chilli circle eventually - what do I do with them then?

I have the chilli parcel currently, but I believe we'll be putting all the seeds in a trug - I need to check with Zaz to confirm but I think that zaz is going to have it to start with!

Yup, we will merge the actual seeds sometime over the hols....I have a trug here waiting.

[chris]

okie ! I'll drop you a PM later on about popping it over to you!

[Jelliebabe]

This sounds AMAZEBALLS! I'm down twice on every list by the way....... LOL

However does sound like looooooadsa work so thanks all and make it simple! Well done X

[chris]

Righty, I've finished splitting (where logical), and entering all the seeds from the parcels that I have, we're up to 874 individual packets (299 different seed varieties, 49 types)!

A great selection so far I just hope some people will take some Jap Pumpkim & Cayenne Chillies out of the parcel!!! Oh, I did the vine a favour and removed the packet of Moneymaker toms that were in there

Quick update on the site, most of the functionality has been completed - I've a few things in mind that I'll try and get done tomorrow, which will give us a functional "database" to view... so all is well in the parcel land!

[zazen999]

And I'm trying to get all mine inputted tonight.

Then I can send the spreadsheet over and we'll be all set!

[zazen999]

Spreadsheet sent

I'll do the flowers direct as they need sorting into families....

[chris]

We're up over 1,200 packets now and still going!

What a resource, Chris! Just keep the big seed companies away - especially the ones that go in for copyrighting seeds!

this is very shameful but i seem not to understand what's going on. could it be that a)have a stinky cold b)also in-law staying c)also have always found the seed parcel world impenetrable and slightly frightening? could one of you kind people, who are selflessly devoting yrselves to the seedswapping cause to the greater good of us all, give me a dur-brain summing up? and basically tell me what i most want to know i.e. if i wanted to join in, can i and how would i?
yr simpleton friend,
BR
who,
incidentally,
wishes you all a very happy festive season, and a healthy 2012
(particularly to you, Zazen, the deity of seedswaps)

[veggiechicken]

I've been wondering the same as you, BroadRipple, but didn't dare ask! Can't use excuses a) or b) so it has to be c) for me!

[zazen999]

Yes, the parcels have been gathered up, logged and a website will open up soon.

If you want seeds, instead of waiting for the parcel; you will be sending in your seeds to swap, 2 large letter stamps and an address label to us; and you will receive your chosen seeds in the post.

It really is that simple; and you will get to choose your seeds from the listing on the website.

In other words some of us require an idiots guide or Seed swapping for dummies........
