*Send seeds in a bubble mailer along with:

1. Return address label for you

I'd like to participate! Should we write what zone the plants will thrive in best on the seed packages since they're unusual seeds?

I have one I'd like to enter, but it's very easily confused with a weed (bladder campion) - it's sea campion - i haven't found it to be at all invasive and am wondering if it'd be welcome? my butterflies and hummers love it! Here is a link that might be useful: sea campion

Hi Sandy! this sounds interesting... I don't have anything much to trade, just wanted to say hello and tell you I enjoyed the tomato/pepper seeds you sent me...the black cherry was especially good! I will be w/s them again this year with some other heirlooms I have gotten-also ordered some 'new to me' beans and zinnias... looking forward to spring! best wishes, Linda

27 people have posted they received theirs so far... I didn't go back and check but I think there were a lot more than that who signed up. Granted, not everybody comes back to post they received theirs. I also requested nothing back if it wasn't on my wants list, but just wondering if that's going to be the case - could you let me know, please, Willie? Thanks either way. :] Terri
