Rick, I don't see any issue in offering the same seeds as last time, your had quite a variety!
And since my seedlings all fried in the sun this year, (
) there are a few that I'm hoping I get to get repeats on anyway.
By way of explanation...this year has been a disappointing year for me for veggie gardening, which has nothing to do with any of the seeds from your or anyone else in the swap, the seeds were all great and most had excellent germination rates! The trouble was, I went into this year thinking I would have more land to plant the seedlings that I started back in March, so I kept them in their trays, waiting and waiting, and then things didn't pan out and, by the time I realized that extra land wasn't going to happen, it was nearly impossible to keep the seedlings from drying out in the scorching sun we were getting for days on end. Those that survived being dried out were so stunted (and gnarled) in their growth from being confined to the small peat pots that they weren't worth planting or putting any more effort into, unfortunately. I had all kinds of peppers, tomatoes, a couple of different squashes, onions, different flowers, etc. that I had been lovingly caring for for months....and...I just threw the last of them into the compost yesterday.
Next year I'm going into the season assuming I won't have more land and I'm going to just buy and put together more raised garden beds, instead, and hope that our HOA doesn't say anything about it. They haven't said anything about the additional beds I put in this year, so I'm hoping they won't care if I add even more.
(This year, my additional garden beds all went to daylily seedlings and iris...I have ONE box with potatoes in it that appears to be doing well, but that's the only veggie I grew this year that is thriving.)
