I hosted one of these last year..Thinking About doing it again. Like I said earlier this year you must donate in order to participate "Exchange" being the key word here. Here is what happens. You send me seeds, I divide them up, and redistribute them to participants.
What kind of seeds are we talking about here? Anything not AG. Tomatoes, Long Gourds, Canteloupe, Watermelon, Extremely Large Field Pumpkins, Onions, Cabbage, Sunflowers, and last but not least things must have had controlled pollination.

If we have enough interest I will host this again.

Hopefully next year my Giant Beet will bolt and produce seeds, that way I can take it out of the house.

Count me in Linus...I have seeds from 115# Carolina Cross watermelon, 15'4" Giganteus sunflowers, 3 lb. 10 oz. Delicious tomatoes, 142# Prizewinner pumpkins. No world champions here for sure but might make for some fun crossing and successive breeding. If you can't get enough other jokers interested maybe we just exchange a few ourself if you're interested.

Enough for 15-20 people..If you could put them in little pacs and label them it would be appreciated very much. I will take care of the return bubbles. Some return postage would be great but is not required. :)
