I received mine also, and Marty beat me to the punch. I would also host this exchange if allowed.

Opening the package was like having another Christmas.

Thanks for the work Shannon.

Giant pumpkins? Who grows giant pumpkins. I will say that my wife was happy to see tomato and pepper seeds in the package. Like I said, it was like Christmas.

I could see an exchange where people just sent in extra of whatever seeds they maintain. I originally thought it was just going to be giants, but there were other seeds in the package.

For instance, I maintain basil, dill, cilantro, cucumbers, and a number of flowers. I could see an "extras" swap.

Yes James If you want, I do not care who does it,I just do not want it to stop. Other veggies are good,anything that anyone has extra. Capt you could do the pumpkin thing, that would be a big deal to handle. I am open to comments and ideas.

ooh baby, I got mine yesterday, theirs a bunch of good stuff in the bubble.

Shannon thanks again for running this exchange for the last 5 years. It's a great way for a bunch of gardeners to share seeds. Then to share them seeds again with family & friends.

I just like Marty & Capt. would enjoy running the exchange next year or till you get moved and things settle down and you want it back. Just think of it as one of us baby sitting it for you. Kenny

Igrow 7 different types of pumpkins besides Ag's and included guatemalan wich is very simalar to american tonda.

During weigh offs thsi past fall, i gave a couple of my unique pumpkins to fellow growers. I think they liked em, but they could have chucked em as soon as i left. lol

There are so many diff types of vegies that this is one way to get and discover new things.

Several folks went way past that, and included a full page of growin tips for their seeds, and some envelopes are sorta generic!!! Kudo's to all who sent seeds, but in the future (including me) some contact info would be cool!!
