Hello BP, I wanted to see how many are showing interest in the Exotic Seed Exchange this year. Let me know if you are interested and it will help to calculate costs. This is quite a cool and fun thing we do here.

Below is from post on General Discussion.


I'm taking over the exotic seed exchange this year since Leif is in college now. How it works is, send 50ish individual packs of seeds, throw in some cash in the envelope and a few months later get 50ish random seed packs from all contributors of really cool seeds.


As in years past looking for about 50 contributors.

Shipping costs are a little higher this year and looking into the most cost effective way now to ship (around $15 bux max].

AWESOME!! Im still waiting to hear back from some "sponsors" to make this happen, hopefully they come through with some samples to go around. Spread the word, I will post instructions and such this weekend. Seeds will be sent in January, cost will be $15 bux, if you are tight on $$ then $11 would be fine, Not looking to make $$ on this at all. lets keep it fun and going.

I will throw in Star/Sun gourds what do you guys have?

Happy New years Exotic Seed Exchange folks! Here is a quick update I have received 23 Seed packs so far, still plenty of time to join and send in seeds.

Also we have another sponsor who is actually a participant in the exotic seed exchange. There are special symbols on one of the seed packs. If you receive that seed with the special symbol you get $50 Compliments from the very generous Grower Farmer Brown AKA Chris Brown. Thank you Sir!!
