Mrs Ed---

I collect, dry and sort seeds in the small. plastic zip-loc baggies from Walmat.
100 for 99 cents!

Mind you--seeds have to be totally dry before you seaal them up in plastic baggies.
I know envelopes would be better--but where can you buy 100 3" envelopes for 99 cents?

I print out labels for each seed and cut them up in strips which I insert in each small baggie.

Since I take part in a Seed Swap here in MD--I portion out my seeds in many of
the baggies in the amounts to give away--all containing information on the plant.

Then--I use legal sized envelopes to hold all these small baggies--labeled with the
seeds it contains--and a picture of the plant outside of it as well.

THEN--The envelopes all go into a box--in alphabetical order--and when I get to the Swap--
I just let people dig through and take what they want....
I call it hands-free Swapping....

Here is what my box looks like....YES! I know I am the "organized type"......:o).
