I'm glad you said that MeMo -- We are out of cups and every other little container, too. All - I have been thinking about what kind of contraption I could make that would help me dry the seeds before I pack them. What I would like is to have something totally open on the top where I could continually drop seedpods to finish ripening and drying. Then I could clean a certain kind all at once. I need some mesh yogurt cups. Or little cardboard boxes with coffee filters inside of them (I hate losing all those seeds in the seams of bags and boxes.) I have a bunch of bitty sacks...what kind of box could I put them in to hold them stable I case I overload with snapdragon stems or something? I don't mind cleaning them if I can sit down and do one kind all at once, then bag them. But I like things neat and tidy and things are increasingly perched here and there where I can't find what I need. Just thinking out loud, but if anybody has a seed drying shelf or anything, I'd love to hear about it! Lime

Hi Jennifer, Good luck with your plant swap. I have to be in N.O. that weekend for a baby shower. Wish I could come to your swap. Not sure how much you want to advertise it, but there is a newspaper well-read in New Albany (not sure of the name) and I bet in Oxford as well. Some small papers offer free ads. Have fun!

Great swap on a beautiful day. Several hundred plants exchanged. Leftovers were scooped up by the Rutgers Master Gardeners for use in future community service projects. Come join us next April for the Spring Perennial Plant Swap!

FYI: I received seeds today from: homegrownsc If you sent your seeds and you think they should have been received by now, PLMK. It's possible they may get here on Monday. I will be busy the next week sorting the seeds. I already have a few about ready to go out. All will be out by October 22. I would appreciate it if you could post here or send me an e-mail when you receive your seeds. Thanks everyone for participating in the swap. It's been a great learning experience for me. I'm having a lot of fun doing it...it's time consuming...but fun. I hope everyone is happy with their returned seeds.
