I've been considering finding a trader who had a lot to trade, and was looking for about the same number of items as "wants". I would like a large variety in my garden this year without buying all of the seeds. I would be willing to purchase OP, Heirloom seeds of the varieties on your Wants list to split with you if you were willing to trade approx.equal number and quantities of items on your Haves list. Is this something you would be open to? (I know it's kind of a big project, but I figured I'd ask.)

Hi Audrey! That sounds good. I'll take all the comfrey I can get. I want to grow a lot of it. It sounds like there are a lot of good uses for it. I don't plan on drinking it as a tea, however. I'm a little leery of doing that with herbs but it makes great healing pig fodder as well as garden fertilizer. I have really appreciated all that spurge. I have lots of space to fill. I spread it out in tiny pieces as an edging and am looking forward to seeing it filled out. I know what you mean about the oregano. I had it everywhere at our previous place too. Now I have mint in abundance all over this property! Want some mint? I'm happy to send you some blue flax seeds or I can save them for an exchange in the spring. Whatever you want to do is fine with me. If you want me to send them to you, you'll have to send me an email with your address.

Can get you some nice basil. Actually, I have fennel, cilantro (coriander), dill from my work. These are all organic, untreated seeds. Becca

Hi Dale!!!! How are you? Long time no see. I hope the business is doing great. I always was a horrible typist, but I did start out as a 'stenographer' at General Dynamics in the earliest 1980s. Even though they hired me for my shorthand (140 words per minute, I'm proud to say), I mostly typed and this was back when we had to type on IBM Selectric typewriters and and then had to learn to type on computers (called word processors at the time) and I hated them. LOL In the mid-1980s we had to start using a brand new (in the business world) process called 'Electronic Mail' on our brand new computerized word processors and I didn't like it either and could not see its' worth, which just goes to show that I am not good at spotting trends! So, I guess I've been typing a long time but never especially liked it...and didn't stay a stenographer long either, promoting out of secretarial work and into first a personnel administrative job and then later an accounting job before I quit my job in the early 1990s to do the whole stay-at-home-mom thing. I then spent the rest of the 1990s and even the earliest 2000s avoiding computers because I had my fill of them at work all those years. After we moved to a fairly remote, rural area ihere in Oklahoma in the late 1990s, I eventually had to learn to like my computer and communicate on it in order to stay in touch with what was going on in the real world. Now, of course, I cannot imagine my life without electronic communication. I do always write long threads, though, and that's just me trying to be thorough and complete and cover all the bases. Hope you're well and looking forward to another great garden year. Dawn
