I don't know how the swap bot thingy arranges who sends to who, but what if there are say 6 people in the USA and 4 in Canada in the swap. Then what if the people in the usa swap seeds around, and the people in canada swap seeds, then we don't have to worry about cross border seeds stuff.

Or, we could always just hide the seeds lol and smuggle them across!

I think we would have to set up two separate swaps, one for the US and one for Canada, but I'm not sure.

Yes, we would have to set up two different swaps, which might be a good idea if you all wanted to swap seeds....

Oh, and I have a link for cute seed envelopes!

Ya know I have seen greeting cards made from "seed paper"...you send it like a card and th person plants the entire card!...I bet that'd be a great idea for out of USA folks as well...then you stick it into it's envelope and send it and it's merely "a card"

LIKE THESE?

ETA: looks like they sell the paper itself at Michael's/craft stores...hmm..I like it.

If you used those cards (which are neat) I'd have to send something else.. I don't think anyone sells those here..

I love spring, and spring planting in general, so I'd be up for anything. I'm intrigued by the idea of doing country-specific swaps for seeds, but I'm not sure if that involves a lot of work. I think it'd be fun though.

Ya know I was forgetting in all this what a horrendously busy month April is around here...birthdays out the whazoo....trips to Oklahoma for said birthday's, etc. Literally every weekend...I don't know if I'd even be able to participate let alone host it...

Is anyone able/interested in hosting April's swap(s)? Alieliza?

Here is the link to the thread about the swap (on second thought, I probably should have just added to this thread, but heres the link anyway.

I just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline to sign up is March 31st, and its quickly approaching. We only have 4 people signed up for the US swap, and no one signed up for the Canada swap. Its fine with me if it stays at low numbers, as any seeds are better than none! I just wanted to put a reminder out there!
