Frugal Gardener Garden Procrastinator I helped beta test the first seed swap Plant and/or Seed Trader Seed Starter Region: Pacific Northwest
Photo Contest Winner: 2014 Avid Green Pages Reviewer Garden Ideas: Master Level Garden Sages I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! I helped plan and beta test the plant database.
I re-counted everything in a certain box: pretty new seeds that were in last year's swap. I listed 28 of those for this year, so far.

I still need to snoop through other boxes, and add more types. Especially chard, Bok Choy, Michihli cabbage and lettuce.

But then in theory I should count the seeds or re-measure the amount in old pkts before listing them. Or I might fall back on "Big pkt", "small pkt" and "very small pkt". Or, sometimes for small OLD pkts, I combine 2-3 pkts into one larger pkt, and then low germination would be less of a problem.

It would be great to see Wish Lists or a Wish Thread. Then I could make notes to myself about what to look for, and do some FOCUSED snooping through my stash.

But I want to avoid what I've done to some swaps in the past: List 2-3 packets of something "because I remember seeing lots of packets of that fairly recently". It seems that once I EVER see that I have multiple packets of something, I remember that for years. But if I run out or use up or lose that envelope of packets, I forget THAT right away!

And I'm still hoping to find some good varieties in bulk in year-end sales.
