  • "New Squash Parcel"

    The Parcel is currently taking a break, but names will be taken for the next journey on a new thread...coming soon.


    The Name of this NEW parcel is "New Squash Club" Seed Parcel.

    Anyone is welcome to join in, experienced, not so experienced, down to the "just fancy a go at growing squash" peeps, etc.

    The Begging bit

    If there's anyone who has spare Squash, Pumpkin etc seeds they would like to donate to the parcel, to help get it up and running, I would be very grateful to you. I have a selection of seed to start off with, but any donations would be very much appreciated.

    What is allowed in.

    It's open to all the "Cucurbitaceae" Family, this includes:- Squash, Pumpkins, Courgettes, Cucumbers, Melons, Gherkins and Ornamental Gourds.

    What's not allowed in.

    ** I would be grateful if those adding seeds to the parcel would NOT collect/add the seeds from rough plants (Those that have crossed with any other squash etc) as we all know...squash can be very promiscuous . And they may not come true to the parent plant, Thanks.**

    The Interesting Bit

    The Parcel will be launched on Friday 4Th June (at the latest).

    If you would like to receive "New Squash Club" Seed Parcel please add your name to this thread below or pm myself (ginger ninger) or enrich100.
    (if you pm me or enrich100 please write "The Squash Club" in the title, Thank's)

    The Boring Bit

    RULES

    The parcel works in the same way as The Chilli Head/Tomato Seed/Pass the Parcel i.e you take some seeds out, you put some back in, preferably putting more back in .

    (Standard Vine Rules)

    We reserve the right to remove you from the list.

    When you receive the parcel, please post it on as quickly as possible so as not to keep other's on the list waiting too long.

    You must have been registered on here for at least 1 (One) month, have posted at least 25 (Twenty Five) non-seed-swap related posts, and have logged on within the last fortnight by the time I come round to asking you for your address. Otherwise I just won't be contacting you.

    You will be removed from the list if you are banned from the forum.

    No member can receive 2 (Two) different parcels at any one time.

    Sorry but the parcel will not be sent Internationally.

    The Parcel

    When you send your parcel, it needs to be by the tracking method; otherwise if/when it gets lost/goes missing - we won't be able to track it.

    When you have posted your parcel, you need to PM me AND the person who is receiving the parcel with the tracking number.

    Don't worry if their is some duplication of seeds when you add your own seeds to the parcel, as some packets may only have a few seeds in them.

    Please try to take only what you need, you can always have the parcel again next year or sooner if your really keen .

    Some people have sugested putting your vine name on your packets of seeds, but this is optional.

    Any seeds left over from this years parcel will be rolled over to next year.

    If you think the Parcel has become too large/expensive to post please let me know.

    This is a link to "The Squash Club" Social Group Grow Your Own - Growing, How To Grow Tomatoes Growing Fruit & Veg - Recipe Advice, Organic food Gardening, Chickens, Seeds for Sale It's for you to post your comments GOOD or BAD on the contents of the parcel, we'd love to hear what you think, Thank You.

    Please do not pm your address until I ask for it. I will also require your VINE NAME AND YOUR PROPER NAME

    Thanks
    Janet.

        The Reason Behind The New Parcel.

        Just a quick update... Good New's and Bad news...

        ...BAD NEW'S BIT.
        The "ORIGINAL SQUASH CLUB SEEDS PARCEL" is still "missing in action" in the Postal Black Hole, when it will suffice is anyone's guess but with luck it will.
        So for the time being "The Original Squash Club Seed Parcel" has been permanently put on hold.

        GOOD NEW'S BIT.

        I have a few seeds left over from what people have sent me, I'm willing to put together a new Squash parcel for those of you who still wish to take part. This will still be a good parcel to have. Although it's BIG SISTER will take some beating . I'm sending out begging pm's already. I've opened this new thread so people won't be confused over the parcel.

        As before if anyone has any spare seeds PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE pm me and I'll let you have my address to send them to me and I'll make sure they get into the parcel. I'd love to make this parcel as good as the first and with the help of other grapes I'm sure I'll get pretty close.

        Thank You for your patience in this matter.

        Kind Regard's
        Janet. xx (G.N)

                A quick update "The New Squash Seed Parcel" is nearing completion and it's looking better than it's Big Sister.
                I should be popping to the post office one day next week to get her on her way to Magiccat1978.

                Just one more thing "If there's anyone who would like to join in and receive the parcel, have a read at the rules, if you qualify and agree to them pm me (ginger ninger) or enrich100 and we'll add you to the list. Thank's.

                Kind Regards

                  Thank you GN,

                  You went to a great deal of trouble to sort out this second parcel , after the first one going AWOL.

                  Just to say we really appreciate it X
                  You have to loose sight of the shore sometimes to cross new oceans

                  I would be a perfectionist, but I dont have the time

                    Quick Update

                    AG634710102GB

                    Let's hope "The Post Office Black Hole" doesn't gobble this one up .

                    This parcel (if I dare say it) is better than the Original parcel . Which just go's to show that the wonderful people on the vine are great at what they do best...rallying round in time's of crisis and when other vine member's need help, for this I'd like to say a Big Thank You.
                    THANK YOU. XXX

                    Kind Regard's

                            well done for getting it up and running so quickly, I'm so glad you decided to restart the parcel, I thought I was going to have to start the Chilli parcel again but luckily for me its turned up, Great work keep it going
