A long time ago, I started sending seeds to people on the Garden Web.

Lots of these people have sent seeds to me in return.

Today, I was preparing plants for mailing, and I got down the binder labeled "Tradin' Pardners".

In this binder, I have kept all the emails I get with request for seeds or cuttings or whatever. I keep them according to what it was I sent, such as Hyacinth Bean vine seeds, or Hollyhock seeds, or rose cuttings, or whatever. All my pardeners are not in alphabetical order, so I get to flip through the pages until I find the address, and I love to look through this book.

It started as a 1" binder and is now filling a 1 1/2" binder, and soon, I will go to a 2" binder. This is one of my favorite books!

Anyway, I just wanted to let all y'all know that I feel like I have so many friends out there, and it is a very happy feeling.

Friends in Gardening.
