| No offense was intended to bakemom! I hope no offense was taken.
The Adopt-A-Newbie is halfway on the continuum from the Newbie Seed Project and the array of individual posts offering SASBE/BEAP for newbies. It allows volume arranging and allows one-to-one connection (even if that person connection isn't ongoing, some folks just enjoy the feel of that type of gifting). Hope I didn't step on any toes. Please, especially veterans, and especially veterans with veggie seeds/skills, consider adopting a newbie. (We have a harder time getting veggie newbies adopted it seems.) Sending seeds to the Newbie Seed Project and Adopt-A-Newbie aren't mutually exclusive. :) Thanks for considering adoption! o
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. |
