Received my seeds today! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Thank you Kamil and everyone! I'm just about to go start mine! I even got my favorite color, how's that for cool! Maybe we could do a swap based on color next time...Hm, I might have to start one of those based on purple.... :0) Thanks a bunch guys/gals it was fun!

Just to make this swap a little different, I thought we could post what we are going to send in to trade and what we are interested in. For example you can post that you are sending in watermelon, armenian cucumbers and Lisbon onions, and you are interested in the lemon cucumbers that flwrs4evr sent in. Here is a partial list of the edibles that I am going to put in this swap: Watermelon: Sugar Baby Beans: Malibu (Pole) Beans: Royal Purple Beans: Cascade Giant Pole Lettuce: Grands Rapids Lettuce: Sampler Lettuce: Mesclum Lettuce: Butter Crunch Pumpkin: Heirloom, White and Sweet Meat Cucumber: National Pickling and Lemon Radish: Watermelon Onion: White Lisbon Bunching Onion: Tokyo White Bunching Lima Bean: King of the Garden Fennel Cress Chervil: Curled Salad Burnet Pepper: Hungarian Wax Kohlrabi: Early White Vienna Kale: Dwarf Blue Curled Calendula (edible flower) Viola: Helen Mount (edible flower) Beet: Yellow Detroit Nasturtium (edible flower) Catnip Parsley: Italian Flat Leaf Lavendar Basil: Lemon

Becky, I know horehound was used to make cough drops. I used to have a recipe but lost it. I bet you could Google it. I remember it was basically a hard candy that used horehound tea as the liquid. It might also work to just drink the tea. I'm having trouble getting thyme to grow from seed too. The sprouts are sooooo tiny, and then something always seems to happen to them.

I also have not received any seeds. I've seen no effort on Olivia's part to contact me. For what it is worth, I have participated in quite a few swaps within this community before and have always found them worth taking the chance...sometimes fantastically so. However, I walked into the swaps recognizing that it IS taking a chance, especially if someone is a first-timer at facilitating a swap, as in this case apparently. I don't plan to stop participating in swaps in the future, but find it wise to gamble no more than I can afford to lose.
