Okay folks. I have met my minimum of 3, habanero, dill, and coreopsis. I will add them to the list momentarily. Question: How many seeds would you suggest per pack? I got more than I expected from the dill and coreopsis. A teaspoon? I could count them, but they're really small... The tomatoes are a little intimidating, maybe I will try that for next time. I have several echinacea seed heads drying, but I'm not sure if they'll be ready in time, or what they will end up looking like. I have 2 varieties, (purpurea & PowWow Wild Berry) but it's possible they are sterile, or self-infertile, so I need to test them first. I'm also going to see if I can harvest some gaillardia seeds (Arizona Apricot and Mesa Yellow), so I will keep adding as go.

I have some store-bought packs left over from this Spring, a couple unopened, and a couple that were opened and taped back. I stored them in my closet, so they have been cool, dry, etc. Would these be okay to put in the swap? Or perhaps I should test to make sure... These are mostly herbs and veggies.

Edit: Maybe Habanero is not a good choice, since I grew other varieties of pepper, and these could be cross-pollinated.
