Some of my plants produced 100's, 1000's or Zillions of seeds and I'd like to share them with a few newbies. By newbie, I mean you are fairly new to gardening with few plants/seeds and have been a DG member for a year or less. I'll take the first 5 newbies who post here. If you've take advantage of my SASE offers before, please don't ask for these. I can handle only US residents.
You'll get the following 10 packs of seeds:
Amaranthus Oeschberg - Upright Love Lies Bleeding
Datura Belle Blanche - fragrant moonflower bush (plant and seeds are toxic if ingested)
Four Oclocks - Fuscia
Four Oclocks - Yellow
Hibiscus - Moy Grande - red
Hyacinth Bean Vine - Purple
Japanese Iris - Epaulette - Dark velvety purple (won't come true from seeds) - Pictured below
Black Moudry Ornamental Grass
Gateway Joe Pye Weed
Bonus Seed of Your Choice
The seeds are already packaged in 2 x 3 ziplock baggies and labeled.
To participate, please respect my time and follow these guidelines EXACTLY. I offer SASEs frequently and this is what is convenient for me. When filling SASEs becomes a hassle for me, I'll stop doing it. Any SASEs that do not follow these guidelines to a T will not be honored:
1. Post here if you meet the definition above for being a newbie.
2. When I approve you, get a small, 4 x 6 BUBBLE mailer. No envelopes with bubble wrap stuck in them. No mailers that are padded with paper or cardboard as these cost more in postage to send. You can cut a large bubble mailer in half if need be and send me one half. You can also recycle a bubble mailer that you've received; you do not have to have a brand new bubble mailer. Address your mailer to me. I'll email you my addy.
3. Inside the bubble mailer, include the following items:
a. Adhesive Address label with your name and address. MUST be adhesive; I won't tape anything on. Make sure your label will cover my address on the outside of the mailer. Please don't stick your address label under my address with instructions for me to peel my address off to reveal yours. Almost always when I do this, I rip your address off too and then I have to make a new label.
b. A note letting me know your member name and that you're responding to my SASE offer. Also look at my trade list and select 3-5 different seeds that you'd like as your bonus pack. I'll pick only ONE of your choices, whichever one I have in abundance (some seeds are for special trades only).
c. At least 10 ziplock baggies, about size 2 in. x 3 inch to replace the ones I've already packed your seeds in. (Please, no sandwich bags (too big and bulky) and no homemade seed envelopes (tiny seeds fall out of these. Sorry!)
d. 4 first class postage stamps (I'm not sure how much exact postage will be, but I won't refund the difference as it will only be a few cents. I'm NOT selling these seeds. Where else could you get 10 generous packs of seeds for less than $2 for shipping?) Do NOT send a metered postage label instead of stamps. It's illegal to mail it from my zip code.
4. Mail the bubble mailer to me so that I have it before October 23, 2009.
5. Be patient. Don't email me daily asking if I've mailed your seeds yet. I will mail all seeds by October 31 after I've received all bubble mailers. Allow another week or so for them to arrive.
When I receive your bubble mailer, I'll recycle it, putting your address label over my address on the mailer. I'll fill your mailer with your seeds and send it back to you so you can reuse it.
Because I have an abundance of some of these seeds, I'll try to give you enough that you can grow some and trade some. Each of these were gathered from my own gardens and meticulously labeled. So they ARE what I say they are, no surprises. So you can trade them with confidence.
If you are not familiar with these plants, you can see pictures of most of them as they grow in my gardens at:
