I've got mostly veg and some annual flowers, but that's just me. If there's a bunch of folks interested, I can compile a list.

I have no seeds to give but if anyone has extras I'd love to receive as I'm expanding my garden pretty dramatically this season.

So here's my recommendation since I started all this. It would help to have 10-20 folks attend, at a minimum, so there's a decent variety to swap. That being said, if this group is still interested, I would recommend putting your seeds to swap in groups of 5 or 10 in labeled envelopes with the following info: seed name, source of original purchase (if known), any germination or other pertinent growing info, a picture of the plant if you can too. Everyone should come with a list of what they've got so folks can easily peruse a list rather than rifle through a bunch of envelopes. I've got over two dozen varieties of vegetables and annuals. I am happy to host over the weekend in N. Tacoma, but I believe someone else offered as well.

@naomi -- I'd say add your event to the FeedTacoma Calendar at www.feedtacoma.com/events/ and I'll help get the word out a bit. Thanks for your gracious offer to host!
