Adopt-A-Newbie: Veterans & Newbies Look Here

Posted by kilngod z6 KY (My Page) on

Newbies (of whatever time frame) who haven't much to trade, or have nothing, and want a little help getting started......

Veterans (of whatever time frame) with seeds to share and want an alternative to setting up your own SABSE & BEEP offers......

Follow the link below & see what's happening over on the Round Robin forum! We get those Newbies in a list with a general gist of their garden interests, and Veterans pick someone to adopt who matches their zone & garden type. Newbie pays postage for the seeds in advance (and sometimes bubble envelope) and Veteran sends at least 12 packs of seeds.

Newbies can still respond to SABSE/BEEP offers elsewhere of course, but this is a centralized location that is "self-sorting" and allows Veterans to be generous with seeds to whatever kind of newbie they prefer, and without doing all the extra organizing of individual SABSE/BEEP offers. We're streamlinin', folks!

BEEP is something new to me..what does it stand for. I know that SABSE means Self addressed bubble stamped envelope.

Opps I spelled it wrong --

BEAP

Bubble
Envelope
And
Postage

(Since you don't actually adhere the stamps and put the whole thing inside another envelope like a "normal" SASE. I can't remember who cooked it up, but it's a nice clarification for newbies. I sent my first SABSE inside another envelope myself.....)
