    Ok, that would be 3 so far......I'm actually looking for at least 10 to get this thing started. For those who may be lurking and wanting more info before deciding if they wanna do it, here is what I am looking at...
    - Seeds must be sent in a bubble mailer
    - 50 pack per person max, no more than 3 copies of the same seed...You may send bonus seeds, just please seperate them and mark them as bonus
    - No side trades
    - Please label all seed packs.....to be counted as a trade packs should have a minimum of 10 seeds
    - Send address label and return postage (at least as much as it took to get the package to me, maybe a touch more for extras :-)
    _ Include a list of all the seeds you are sending, along with your address and GW name
    - If you have requests please send them and I will do my best to fill them, depending upon what is sent in
    - Packages need to be to me by March 6, and will leave my house back to you by March 16.

    Ok, that is what I can think of now, so to all you lurkers, hope that will help you out :-)

    We are looking for 10 people to call this swap a go!

    Would love to, but melons just don't grow here unless they are short season varieties. And I mean REALLY short season. Gotta make little green houses for them and so forth, even with the short season varieties. They simply need heat that we don't have. I have a batch of melon and cuke seeds, but would have to ask for only short season varieties back. I'd be in if that could be done.

    If you need only short season varities, then I could make a point to only send you those :-) How many days? I know that I have several varities in and on order that are between 70-85 days.....is that the range you will need?

    Ok, I have a few local friends, and a few outta town who said they had a good variety of melon and cuke seeds and were interested in getting involved, so we will call this a go and later tonight I will post a proper swap thread for this one. I will also e-mail y'all tonight or tomorrow :-)

    I've never participated in one of these so, tell me what I must do.

    Some of my cucumber seeds are hybrids. OK?

    Will I be sending all of my seeds to one person or to each individual who seeks them?
