This coming Saturday is my yearly local seed swap. I bring a lot of my collected seeds and many of my commercial seeds that I think may not be viable if I hold on to them much longer. I also have the leftover seeds from Karen and Janine sent me a bunch of 20/20 and 2021 seeds to donate.

Because I don't have an imagination like Alana does for games. I'm just going to do another guessing game. I am currently breaking down bulk packs sent by Karen and packing seeds from my collections. The seeds from Janine will likely be donated the way they were sent( some 2022/23 are being held back for bonus/game seeds).


Please take a guess at how many packs I'll be bringing with me (I will not even know the count until Saturday morning).

The person to guess the closest without going over will win the game prize.

Probably a bazillion, but I'll guess 1670.

The winner of the game will be @DraDiana. I had 1025 packs made up. The winner would have been @poisondartfrog had I gotten the chance to baggy up some of the bulk packs from @Bluespiral . I had dozens of both packs but I did not have time to break them down myself. I ended up bringing the boat packs with 50 or 60 envelope so that people could take a scoop out.

I only counted each Ball's pack as one pack. I hope you all think that was the Fair way to do it!

The prize this time is Zinnia Green envy. I know it's probably not that great but I believe it's the only green blooming flower I have seeds for. I'm going to take a look through my vegetables if you're interested in maybe a green tomato?

I had a fire at my home yesterday, I need a couple of days to get things in order and then I will message you and see if we can find something that will float your boat. 😂

Oh my, Lisa! I'm so glad it wasn't any worse. Still, this isn't a good time to have holes in the greenhouse in our climate zone.
I can hardly believe that I got within 4 of the # of seed packets. Blinking
I "cheated" - I asked God for a number and that's what popped into my head. No hurry about figuring out the prize. There are many green things - especially if you count the leaves. nodding

Gosh - a fire - that must have been so scary! It looks like your home and greenhouse survived, which is wonderful.
Remember, it is dangerous to the environment and ILLEGAL in MANY states (CA is one) to mail plants/bulbs/cuttings in. Let’s all practice Do No Harm while we walk this earth and find other ways to connect to one another through gardening.

@ishareflowers so sorry to hear about the fire. Glad it wasn't worse and that you are safe. Hopefully you can get some new plastic for the greenhouse.
