2012 Seed Swap

Well, it's that time of year again! My seed catalogs have been coming in and I am really itching to get to some gardening. Here in NC the winter blues haven't really set in as we've seen very mild temps this winter, and are still getting in plenty of greens. But what to do until my days are filled with not much else but the garden? I know, let's have a seed swap!

If you've participated in the past, we'll use the same format. If you're new, this is how it goes: Leave a comment on this discussion like "I'm in!" or "HolyCheezeWhizzMonkeytails this is the bestest idea to ever spring forth from all of human creation" or "eh, sure, I'll try anything once." Include your hardiness zone. I will compile the list and assign trading partners. Cut off date will be the end of February. When I publish the list (on this discussion board) contact your trading partner with private message and arrange the details of your swap.

Easy-peezy!

I'm in 5b zone. New to saving seeds so I can't stake my word on the viability of what I've got. I'll try to sprout some this week. Not sure if I should be posting just interest in swapping or wants and haves?

Doug, if you have enough, run a simple germination test...9 out of 10 is considered great!
