You should consider coming to our local swap in april. It's in Garner. There's a post with the details, and before long there'll be a post that has special trades going on. Some folks always bring seeds, and there will be plenty of veggie starts too, more than likely. We have a good time! If you like trying lots of little bits of seeds, consider ordering from le jardin du gourmet. They have trail size packets for a pittance. Not organic, but ...

I just got my seeds in the mail today ... THANK YOU!!! The variety is astounding and I got just about all of my "really wants" for next summer, wow! Thank you to everyone who send in seeds and participated, it helps make this one of the best swaps around ... and a HUGE TREMENDOUS thank you to Heather. The amount of time and effort that you put into this is amazing, taxing I'm sure, but so much appreciated by all of us. Thank you for organizing this swap again and for taking the time to help make sure that we all get some of the seeds that we really really want, and a great variety of new ones to try as well! I wish I could send you something off your wishlist as a thank you, but I took a look and don't have any of them ... your wishlist in much the same as mine in some respects, lol! But I did want to let you know that they arrived, and to thank you for all the time and effort you have put into this!

Heather - I have been away from home for several weeks now and won't return until mid-Jan. My wife tells me that the package did arrive. I'm sure that what you sent is fine. Many thanks for your dedication again. John A

Something else that is really cool about Heather's swap (and the other round-robins) is that when I'm reading the threads on GW I recognize many names, esp. those who have been around a few years and/or sent me seeds. When I have grown someone's plants, I feel some kind of connection with them. (Hi, Janine!) Some old salts like Smokemaster put their names on every packet they send out. I'm realizing how much I appreciate that, and I'm gonna start doing it. Hope others will too - it makes this chili addiction even more fun. Happy holidays to all. Rick
