There are still a few slots open..I have received 18 entries so far. I would like to aim for 25 to make it a good mix. Its pretty simple. You package 25-30 packages of some odd or giant vegetable seed. Include $5 for shipping. I send them back to you.

We could use some tomato, or more watermelon and cantaloupe.
