I use stenographer's (steno) pads for everything. These are the 6 x 9 inch pads that are spiral bound at the top which people used to use to take shorthand. If you know what I'm talking about and are willing to trade for the following seeds, let me know.
I will trade 5 packs of seeds for 3 steno pads. (Big Lots has the steno pads really cheap.) Each pack of seeds contains 20 or more seeds, unless noted. Some contain 100 or more, depending on what quantity I've collected. Most of these seeds were gathered from my own gardens in 2005. A few are from commercial packs. I have these seeds:

The smallest trade I'll do is 5 packs of seeds. You can mix and match the seeds. You don't have to get 5 of one kind. You can get 5 different kinds in exchange for 3 steno pads measuring approx 6 x 9 inches. (No regular spiral notebooks or legal pads please) You can also mail them by media mail if it's cheaper than first class.
I mail all my seeds in REAL bubble mailers to insure their safety. So let me know if you're interested in trading for any of these.
CLOSED: Seeds for Steno Pads
I am interested- you have dmail!
Thank you to all of you who responded. I'm getting about 30 or so steno pads, thanks to you all. So I think that's enough to last me another year. I'll have to think of something else to trade my seeds for since you guys are so receptive. Any ideas?
I've emailed all of you back. If you didn't get a response, dmail me again.
Thanks everybody!
