Hey Val I'm seeing lots of fun things being added to this swap. I am sooo excited!
Do you have any photos on any of the gourds? I'm looking for lots of fun shapes and sizes and it seems you have delivered!

I'm finding that I have less and less time to do the swaps I love. I might have to narrow it down to just this one. All the fun and excitement in one night!

Hi Karen,

So Excited you're excited :D
I enjoy doing (and hosting) the swaps I do...I just want everyone to have fun and get lots of seeds to grow!

I'm sorry I dont have photos of the gourds.....most of the gourds I got in trade or from a friend who was buying and I split a pkg with her to either grow or use for swaps. I thought I would grow some, but I just can't grow them all, so I'm offering some/all of those.

dang it @dradiana !!!

I want ALLLLL your seeds!

Can you just bag them all up for me and forget about the swap? I'm sure no one else want's any.

How long do you spend making and cataloging your crosses?

Karen,
My time management abilities are minimal, but the good news is, I have absolutely no idea how much time I spent. I only know I enjoyed it. The hibiscus crosses are all mine. The daylily bee pod seeds came from a generous member who doesn't swap, but has an awesome collection. She was kind enough to label them and mail them this Fall. I opened all the packages, counted the seeds, double checked the spellings against our database and her plant list and split the ones with a lot of seed. That took about 2 afternoons last week. I have a pile of wildflower seeds that need cleaned, bagged and counted that I haven't even begun yet. They may have to go in the March swap...They only took one afternoon to gather, but processing them will be a project.
I didn't gather any hibiscus this last year, because of my backlog from 2019. I hope to do a more moderate amount in 2021, and maybe hand pollinate and bag some of my own daylilies as well. Stay tuned for the 2021 Fall swap(s).
