Last day to dibb for any leftover tickets.

There is still 1 hour to go and 864 offerings still unclaimed.

Great swap everyone!

Some interesting stats:

3,523 Total Packs of seeds offered
1,935 Unique seed types were offered
2,659 Packs claimed to date

Hope everyone had fun. Use up any leftover seeds on the packs still available.

I just added a few more including some melon varieties.

I am totally amazed at the unexpected bounty of terrific seeds I've claimed!

I can't compare it to any other swaps since this was my first, but this was far more than expected both in quality of varieties and quantities.

Thanks for including me and for claiming some of my offers. I've "bought 160 😲 and "sold" 139. Gratifying experience all around!

You are most welcome @Hortaholic! I have to say it is pretty cool. I think I'm going on 4 years swapping here and I really don't like to swap any where else. Between the people, the great variety of seeds and the ease to swap that are wonderful @dave has created here.

So glad you enjoyed yourself and help you join our fall swaps.

To everyone who participated, thank you for all of your efforts. I hope to see all of you in the Fall and feel free to invite others to join us!

lol I might pester everyone I know on NGA - do you know about the seed swaps? They are wonderful!

I've never been in a seed swap anywhere else unless you count the NARGS seed exchanges, which are done very differently. This is way more interactive and dynamic and just generally way more fun!🤩

Thanks again Debra for hosting - I guess your main job is still ahead. And Diana for inviting me. And everyone for the beautiful plants I hope to grow from your seeds.

I'll be getting everything together this evening and will plan to put in the mail tomorrow, so if there's something I'm offering that you missed out on and really wanted to have, let me know soon... Smiling Smiling

Whew what a rush! Thank you Debra for hosting this wonderful event. I was encouraged by my sister to try out a swap and I'm sure glad I did. I'm so excited about all the plant possibilities I scored from everyone's generous offerings. Looking forward to fall swapping with my new seedy friends. Lovey dubby

Jennifer @scooterjen

It was my first swap too and I'm sure glad you joined us because you were one of my best "customers!😄 I hope they all grow well for you.

If you think any of the seeds were defective, let me know. Since they were all newly purchased they should be OK but I'd want to know not to trust that supplier. I'll be growing a few of all of them
probably, the share I kept. For me one thing I love about this swapping is being able to provide homes for excess seeds. Almost every packet has more than I need.

Enjoy all your new seedy finds. Good to know you'll be back! Thumbs up
