| With a cold weather upon us, I thought it might be fun to do a round robin swap. Here is how the swap would work:
Send 12 different seed packets that spell out WINTERSOWING + you can send in additonal seeds up to 13 different types of your favorite to swap for a total of 25 per person. --The additional seeds are not required, send in 2 and you will get 2 back, send in 13 you will get back 13 differnt seeds --Flower, Vines and/or shrub seeds only No Veggies --seeds must be sent in a bubble envelope that includes your GWname, return postage and a return address label Sign-ups will be until January 17th
Example for swap: the letter can be a color, botanical name, seed variety, common name W- White Rose of Sharon
Total of 12 different seed packets + 13 of your favorite to swap for a max total of 25 per person. If you would like to be included, please sign up in this thread and I will email you my address |

|
| No seeds yet but I am sure the mail is just being slow. Karen |
|
| I got them yesterday! I had gotten a notice finally that postage was due. It was my second notice but I never got the first. Thanks for the swap! |
|
| Glad to know that you received your seeds, Karen. I had been wondering if they might be with those bags that may or may not have fallen from a plane flying over Montana. |
