I may consolidate the Books/DVD's  with the merchandise and make a new catagory for "Seeds wanted" great idea and you need to check what sees are okay, most are, ther are just a few that are considered invasive and they are not vegitables

How many seeds are needed to participate?
Some big seeds take up lots of space.
I'll be planting peanuts, and want to share the extras.

Well, I did it!  I registered and posted my wants and one seed for trade.  Smiley  It's for a Loofah sponge plant.  I put it under Trees/Shrubs....it didn't really fit any of the categories very well...

I almost ordered some of those seeds, but I was over budget. LOL I need to add seeds and I may make a trade offer.

i just got your seeds Johnny, seems like the P.O tore the envelope and put it into another envelope with some tape over the damage but they look ok, nice idea with the bubble wrap, good reason to save it from now on instead of just popping them all!
, btw shouldnt the seed swap site have its own forum or message board of some kind, may be like a wall post kinda thing so we can let people looking over the site see that there is some activity going on outside the site?

I gotta question....I have some volunteer gourds of unknown variety. I got a gourd from a friend and turned it into a birdhouse and poof some how it sprouted this year. This is a hearty strain cause my friend got hers the same way Smiley Big Huh is are these a fruit or veggie or flower??? I dont think you can eat it (but I could be wrong). All I have seen them used for is bird houses  Grin Cool

The seed swap site is a pretty informal place,  clothing optional and all that, so I wounldn't get too hung up on scientific correctness.
Just call them bird house gourds and stick them in with the vegetables.
If any one disagrees just point out that they are neither animal nor mineral, and vegetable was the only one left.
