vic said:I have been a spectator and I also watched the piggy swap for the first time last year. I find it all very fascinating but I'm also amazed at all the cool stuff I learn as far as gardening (learning about plants I didn't even know about), seed starting, zone pushing, etc. There is a wealth of information that goes back and forth between the traders.

Exactly, Vickie! I really think a lot of members would feel the same way if they had the opportunity to "watch" a swap in progress.

Rick, SSE may have been different 20-30 years back ( I was a member back then, but don't actually remember the specifics...) I've kind of joined off and on at random times, and my "Blue Peter" beans came from an early membership. There was a bit of an upheaval in the SSE at some point, and perhaps the whole system changed at that time.
