I know I'm going to be bring some green hawthorns, maybe parsley leaf hawthorns too if they germinate. Otherwise I'm not sure what else I will bring yet. Mostly I wait and hear what other people want and if I have that I'll divide it. Someone typically starts a thread in the Exchanges Section a couple months before the swap. Usually there ends up being 2 threads, actually, each with a limit of 150 replies, most of it special trades between individuals. The special trades eliminates rushing and grabbing for plants and knocking each other down, lol.

I got my seeds in the mail today and was very impressed. Heather, you did a great job keeping track of such a large number of participants and getting the swap in order. I got several seeds that were on my "desperate to have" list, and quite a few others that I'm very interested in and looking forward to trying. Thanks so much! And thank you to everyone who participated and sent in such great seeds . . . hopefully we'll do this again next year!

howdee there Last year I did an edible seed swap and a few people from the herb forum joined I thought I would see if any one wanted to join. There are over 20 people joined so far. I will add original link post take a look Acres Here is a link that might be useful: seeed swap post in other forum

Plantermunn, Thanks for posting that mango salsa recipe again. That is some great salsa. I made it last year then misplaced the recipe, and had forgotten it until now. Courtney, I was thinking.... yeah, I brought salsa, but that was at the very first swap, about 5 or 6 years ago, LOL. I couldn't figure out how you could remember that!! It wasn't THAT good. :) Anybody heard from Andrea yet to see if this swap will be at the pavilion? I might try to come to this swap since I haven't been to the last three. At least I am a lot closer to OKC now since I moved. Anybody remember that girl that set up the first swap at the library in Moore? I think her name was Jackie? I think Spike kicked her off Garden Web for offering to trade something like horse manure for plants? I am so glad IVillage is more laid back and isn't always kicking off people like Spike used to. Anyway, I saw that girl working at Lowes in Norman a while back. I knew I recognized her, but didn't figure out who she was until we'd already left the store. I wish she could be invited to the swap too, since she was instrumental in getting the Oklahoma forum started in the first place, not to mention making the arrangements for the first OK swap. It would be nice to see her again. Dawna
