I am all too familiar with clutter. So acquainted, in fact, that I think most of it has become permanent features to the house. We have so much stuff now, we are having to move & build a bigger house. All of this "clutter" is actually things that we need & use regularly. We are just running out of spaces to put things. My husband & I each have our own hobbies that require a room all to ourselves to store everything. My plants have taken over the only usable guest bedroom, our closest shelves are on the verge of falling off the walls, his computer room can barely contain what he has in there, my art room you have to be an expert rock climber to get around in. I have always been one of those people who has the compulsion to hide things. I have things stuffed away in all cabinets through out the house, on top of the cabinets & refrigerator, stuff is under the beds, in drawers with clothes-if it can fit in a spot, I will squirrel it away. It helps keep my house looking nice & tidy.

Hi I am allways in for a swap. This will be my third year and it stays funny nad exciting. Just sent me an mail with the details. Thanks Herman. I have some different seeds of asclepiads coming soon.

Despite having pots of plants and seedlings all over the garden, and boxes of seeds filling the fridge, I'm pining for more new seeds, so I'm ready for another big swap. Everyone's welcome to join in again - just send your unwanted seeds and I'll share them out between all the participants. There are already some interesting seeds in the kitty (e.g. Alisma plantago, Pelargonium alchemillioides, Pelargonium quinquelobatum, Sinningia leucotricha), as a couple of envelopes full of goodies arrived too late to be included in the last swap. Thank you to everyone who's joined in these big swaps in the past - I've got some of my 'Most Wanted' seeds this way. Click on the link for more details.

It is indeed a lovely swap - thanks again, Crazylady. I'd love this forum to be more active but have gradually got bored and moved off to other more thriving ones.
