Hey Dnd!
For me, the swap was too early. We have such a long season here I wasn't able to list everything that I wanted. I'm still collecting seed up until pretty much the middle of Oct. here. For me alone, the beginning of Oct would be better.
I do like the length of our swap. I think 7 days is a good number. I think because of the early swap this year, everyone was still collecting and gardening so it was hard for everyone to pop in and chat alot. Not a big deal for me, nor a deal breaker. I just missed being able to chat is all, lol. Ya'll know me, I always have something to say.
I agree with Rick. I think I would like a starter (7 day) swap in Oct with ya'll and then perhaps a one time swap during the swapping season or at the end of it. Sometime between dec and feb. Believe it or not, the swap last year in feb was great. I was able to fill in holes in my garden with items that I had not gotten during the swapping season so it was truly a nice end for seed swapping for me. Plus I was able to get some things I normally wouldn't have tried for vegetables and they came in time for me to plant.
Otherwise, I can't think of anything that I would actually change about our swap. I was really happy that we had some new faces this time around and it was really great getting to know the new swappers. I really hope they come again next year as I've already ordered some flippin seed that I know is hard to find in a swap, lol. I know, I'm pitiful but I have found a couple of things new for next year that I really want to try. Maybe I'm too far ahead of the game in planning for next year?
