Spring Solstice seed swap

The spring solstice or vernal equinox is the day in spring when daytime and nightime are of equal length. This occurs around March 21st of each year.

This special day has been celebrated by mankind for thousands of years. Even the earliest civilizations kept track of the seasons and stars, to help plan their planting and gathering schedules. For many different societies, the spring solstice marked the end of winter and the approach of spring, fertility, and fresh food.

We're all ready for spring, right? :)

Soon it will be time to plan our gardens. Yay!!

So let's celebrate the forthcoming spring solstice by sending our swap partner 3 (three) packets of flower or vegetable seeds, (or a mix of both). Sender's choice.

Write a little note to your partner on what you'll be or hope to be planting this spring. ~ Do tell! :)

Please check the expiration dates on the packets before sending, we don't want to send any "bad seeds", now, do we? :)

The packets should be the regular size packets, usually costing around $1.00 + each. You can find these at any local home improvement store or garden center.

I'm giving a 2 week turnaround to ensure that everyone has sufficient time to shop and post their packets. PLEASE secure your envelopes/packages well, and PLEASE put the seed packets inside a Ziploc style baggie. We don't want the mailman sprouting radishes. :)

Recent 1's or 3's without reasonable explanation will be banned. Sorry, no newbies this round. Keeping in the USA because many countries have restrictions on mailing seeds, however, please feel free to copy if you wish to host an international version. :) (Credit me, please.) If I have inadvertantly copied someone's swap idea, which I'm pretty sure I haven't, please accept my humble apologies, and let me know so I can credit you. :)
