Woohoo! It was a good mail day yesterday.
In October, I submitted my contribution to the 4th Annual Canadian Autumn Seed Exchange and have been eagerly awaiting my return package since. I think I might even look forward to receiving this package more than I look forward to Christmas.
Like last year, I submitted the maximum number of seed packets (40) along with some bonus packets. I received 56 packets in return, including many varieties of vegetables and flowers that are new to me. Nicky, the exchange organizer, even included a small bag of seed garlic! I wasn't expecting that, and look forward to planting them next year.
The exchange package I received included:
Herbs - basil (Dark Opal & Violette Aromatico), chives (garlic), dill (Frank's Extra Large), lemon balm, and thyme.
