This is your last chance to participate. I know some of you think you don't have enough to contribute, you may send a total of 5 packets or 60 packets, makes no difference to me. If you have 3 packets of one variety, 7 of another, and 4 of a third or 1 trade each of 5 different varieties, that's fine. Minimum number of seeds per packet is 10.
You will receive in return as many packets as you send in.
If you think you might have an heirloom or you're not sure, look here:

SO, In honor of Charlie Brown's quest for the Great Pumpkin, here's your opportunity to trade your extra heirloom seeds for other heirloom varieties. Seeds may come from your garden or may be purchased.
If you're interested:
1) Post a note here, telling me you emailed me so that I can keep track of who's interested.
2) Please DO NOT click on my name to email me thru GardenWeb or your request will not go to the correct address for this heirloom swap.
Email me directly at the following email address: mailto:heirloomswap@cheftalk.net" title="heirloomswap@cheftalk.net">heirloomswap@cheftalk.net with a list of what you'll be able to send. This email address is the ONLY place I will respond to you.
If you do not have heirloom seeds to provide for trade, I'll host another one in early spring so start collecting!
