Thanks for the update Heather and all your efforts to facilitate this wonderful, exciting exchange. I was sad to have missed it last year, it's my first time doing this and participating has been so much fun. If you take this on again, I will be sending you more seeds for your bonus packs. It's so exciting to be getting other vegetables to try, thanks again for your efforts and have a happy holiday and joyous new year.

My seeds arrived today and I am just blown away. If the rest of you feel like I do, this must be one happy bunch of people.
Heather, you have outdone yourself again. And thanks to all the seed packeteers that participated in the swap. Now I have to try to grow all of these out so I can do unto others as you've done unto me. Hope everyone has a happy 2013. Claud |

Grrrr, I`ve been stalking my post box for a week now. Alas, still empty
My question is this: how do you magically make more space available in the garden so you can plant out all these amazing varieties that have arrived in our packages? Seriously though, it's like an evil level Suduko where you move the numbers around and hope they will fit. Any tips for finding or better utilizing space? |

Or just buy a commercial size roll of cardboard and roll it out on any remaining lawn you may have, mulch it, and just like magic your garden grew!

So in 2011 I borrowed some space (1/8 acre) in my sister's backyard in exchange for all the fresh veggies they wanted. And in 2012 I leased some county property (almost 1 acre). And in 2013??? That's how I feed my tomato addiction - as fueled by so many knowledgeable, experienced and generous Tomatovillians! |

I am laughing because my neighbor did the exact same thing last year! What a mess he had!!!!!!! I would maybe try to fit 20 comfortably there in a pinch! 2 staggered rows of 10. With a lot of careful management! I suppose if you were completely insane 32....11 down both edges and 10 down the middle. BUT 66? Thanks for the chuckle Seamsfaster. I think all of us have done something like that at least once!
