K here we are!! This thread is for Newbie information and questions, No scrambles on this thread...

To get your free seeds

Be Sure to put your dmail name and a note of wants in your envie, along with return name and address
Address exchange is here http://davesgarden.com/address_exchange/
You have to add your information to be able to access everyone else's

Please feel free to Dmail me with questions
Many of us "oldies" and some Newbies would like to share our seeds with those of you new to Dave's. By new, we mean you joined in the last 8 months(or so) and are a paying member.
Send me a SASBE (Self addressed, stamped bubble envelope) and we'll send you 10 packets of seeds. (Usually more, depends on our stash) That's all there is to it. Let us know you are sending your envy. Just Dmail me with sent envie today in the subject. You will get a good variety of good seeds.

If you can, stick a note in your envy and tell me they types of things you like. Veggies and Flowers, some seeds you are looking for, stuff like that. It will help me fill your envy. I can't always get just what you ask for, but will try.

Postage keeps going up so now we need five usually,

Send 5 stamps and an address label with your name on it.
4 of the stamps will go back on your return envy, the extra will go into the "pot" I don't use it for personal use, but it helps when some mail comes with postage due and when the "oldies" send boxes of seeds sometimes there is postage due.
Best thing to do is just send me an empty bubble envy with your label and stamps inside. I can use that same envy to send your seeds back. Saves that envy!!
Also, if you will scotch tape the envy to send to me, I can use the self adhesive and won't destroy your envy pulling them open when I get them.
Please make sure you put enough stamps on your envelope you send to me. An empty bubble envy is at least 84 cents, so two stamps. If you are sending seeds, it's more of course.

PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR D MAIL NAME WITH YOUR ENVY.

I am in the address exchange, so you know where to send the envy. If you can't find it, just d mail and I'll shoot it right to you. At the top of your home page, you'll see the link "EXTRA'S" ,Go into that link, scroll down and you'll see the address exchange this goes to the exchange http://davesgarden.com/address_exchange/ you have to add yourself to the exchange then you can get my address.

Oldies! lol If you would like to donate seeds, it would be great.!! I know how much I loved it when I was new and someone sent me seeds to get me started. Now I want to pay it forward and maybe you would too.

For those of you who would like to help the newbies, but just don't have a lot of seed, if you would like to trade for seeds, that is great as well. Send seeds for the newbies and I will send you the same amount back. Put a note in with your DG name and let me know what you are looking for also.
Happy Gardening Everyone,
Robin

I will be sending Robin my request tomorrow. :)

I, in my seed collecting.. owe a few seeds to the stash ... in my second membership of many years of reading through this site,(no longer New Bee (boo hoo

I received a package of seeds today with a note apologizing for it being late. Since I have no memory of making the request, I can't say I was disappointed in the delay, lol. Thank you very much.
Although I don't have a specific memory of requesting seeds, I have a vague notion that I may have offered some a few years back for this project but no memory of having received a response. Do you still collect seeds to distribute? I would be happy to send some along.

It is Christmas in February! I received my envie of seeds today. Soooo many interesting things! WOO-HOO!! Can hardly wait until spring.

Thanks Robin!

Oh !! Look!! Newbies with new seed!! Yeay!!! Come over to the chatter thread!! http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1297842

Robin,
A BIG thank you for my newbie seeds, rec'd yesterday. But more importantly a big thank you for taking over a huge job and a Happy Valentines Day to you!! Can't wait to try my new seeds, especially the ones that were on my wish list. A big hug from me!!!

Robin - Forgot to mention that I am no longer a newbie but my original newbie request somehow fell through the cracks and I didn't rec seeds so I forgot about it. What a wonderful surprise and I truly thank you for taking on this huge time consuming task. I thought I better clarify, since other members will recognize that I am not a newbie :) Donna

Hello,
I am new here and just starting out. I was wondering if your still doing this for people? I just sent you a Dmail
Thank you Lisa

Hi Lisa,

This is an OLD thread and you probably wont get any help here, but I know the gal who is helping newbies out with seed, and have asked her to contact you.

Welcome!
If you need some help finding your way around, let us know. It's daunting at first, but a great place to be and meet new gardening friends :)

Val

Lisa,

Send Mipii (DG name) a Dmail (do you know how to do that?) and she'll respond. She told me to tell you to send her a message; she is also going to start a new newbie seed thread.

Lisa -- and all Newbies...
Here's the newest thread offering seed to newbies:
