Hi Greene (and everyone) I saw your post, that you do not think you could work fast enough to keep up with the hectic pace of trading. Well I would like to encourage you to join anyway, actually you don't really need to worry about it. I joined the "Not From The Seed Rack" Swap last year. The first day of trading I was confused about what day it started, happened to log in a few hours after it started and saw a notification the trading was underway. I put in my requests and got most of them, I think one or two things had been "sold out" (most people offer more than one packet). A few other days I was at work and so I had to put in requests several hours after trading started, again I got most everything I wanted. By the end of the swap I had gotten something like a zillion packets of seeds! Some people never could be there at the exact moment trading commenced on a day, and they got lots anyway. One woman was in Europe, she was not interested in getting up in the middle of the night to trade, but she did all right, she just did it the next morning. We all had a lot of fun. Like most people, I list some seeds I saved from my garden, some I "rescued" from plants near a sidewalk somewhere, and some I bought. I tell myself I can buy more oddities since I will swap some away, it's like getting 2 for 1!
