there is a lady who swears by planting a row of sweet annie, deer absolutely hate it!! i looked up deer deterent plants and came up with some cool plants!! i don't have that problem but have a friend who does. hope that helps for your next seedlings!!

Would like to trade for your columbine; have heirloom tomatoes - can I send you my list? Doreen.

I'm hoping to see a bit more interest in doing this exchange. I may post a note on Dave's garden as well to see if we can get any international gardeners would be interested in participating. Mayeeta, you're right, we will likely need to limit the number of packets sent and amount of the same type sent to ensure variety. I'll wait a couple more weeks after posting a note on dave's garden before finalizing. Once we have a good indiation of how many are interested in swapping, we'll know what guidelines need to be put in place. Thanks...Heather

Just for all to know, the swap only asks to cover postage. If you send small amounts of seed, we even said that all you have to send is 2 standard stamps. Any others, is $2 for postage, suggestion, I am sorry some might feel this is "too much money" If I could afford to send everyone's envelopes out for Free, I would, but with over 20 sign ups so far, I do not think I could do so. PLus it will take me many many hours to go through hundreds of packets of seeds and to redistribute them to people's requests and wants. We are not a resource, but only people trying to have some fun and trade seed and extend our varities for ONLY the cost of postage, without having to spend money to purchase seeds others are willing to trade for "free". It is a typical ROund RObin Forum trade. SO if you have any extra OP tomato seed that you would like to trade in for other tomato seed plus ONLY the cost of postage, give us a try! We are about having fun! :)
