Here's our official Swap Thread for the "Think Spring!" (Chinese) Tea Party in Frederick on Saturday, Feb. 23.

See this thread for party planning details: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/814246/. That's where we'll talk food, drinks, rides, etc. If you haven't posted on that thread about attending, please do so... I'm using the list at the top to know who to Dmail with directions!

This is a continuation of the first swap thread, http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/805114/#new. I've repeated the information in the top post, but check that thread to see what people have mentioned bringing to swap.

It's not necessary to bring seeds to swap. It's certainly not necessary to bring plants -- but I know some people have a few they wanted to trade around. I've got plenty of extra seeds to go around, too (no trade needed). I've listed some, and there may be some party day surprises also. :-)

I'm thinking we may set aside a time to focus on seed swapping, perhaps from 2 to 3. Swaps can certainly happen at any time, and if you want to visit and not swap during that time, that's fine too. But if we don't put it on the agenda, there will be a mad rush to swap seeds just as people are getting ready to leave.

If you want to list what you have so you can see what people are interested in or pre-arrange some trades, this is the place to do it. You might consider posting a seed list and then going back to edit it for availability as people claim items on the list.

You can also just bring what you have along to the party and do your trading on the spot.

It'll really help if you have your seeds in labeled packets... I often use little zip top baggies from the WalMart craft department (100 for 99cents) with a slip of paper inside that has my DG name, the plant name (common and Latin name for easy lookup), and growing information like height, sun requirements, etc. More information makes trading faster and easier.

OK... let's keep swapping seeds! :-)
