Thanks, Ronnie! I only worried a moderate amount until I messed up one year in Ella's Hog Wild Piggy Swap. Now I worry
enough!

I'm still trying to get away with "just one pass" through every seed tub. If I do wait until trading has ended, then I can open the "Bok Choy" tub once and deal out all the Bok Choys. Then I open up one of the "Lettuces" tubs and deal out all of those. If I kept up with trading, I would have to open and sort through many tubs on each day of trading.
(That's a good argument for storing seeds in a binder or where you can "flip through them". But I keep mine sealed to protect against humidity swings, and I used to keep silica gel in every tub.)
But you're right, too: if "something comes up at the last minute", then there is a problem.
P.S. These are old photos. Since then, the "Lettuce Spinach & Chard" tub has been split into 2 lettuce tubs plus a "Spinach, Chard and Mâche" tub. And the "Beans" tub has overflowed, but I haven't split it yet. I wish I had some 4" O-rings for these tubs!
