How many seeds do people typically want when they ask for trade? It is usually 'assumed' that there will be about 25 seeds...the standard for most seeds. Many things are regularly traded in much smaller quantities, and are often noted on the member's trade page, or in their post. A couple of things that are often traded in lesser quantities, are tomatoes, peppers maybe tree seeds maybe shrubs-(who really needs 25 lilacs?) morning glories sweet peas, specialty seeds, or more expensive commercially bought seeds and I'm sure there are numerous others. Communication is key...so the trader knows just what they are getting for sure. Many members send a LOT more than 25 seeds, but that is usually when they have a ton of a particular variety that they want/need to get shared b4. Taken from the FAQ here.... How many seeds are considered a 'fair' trade? A fair trade is whatever you and the other trader agree to. Generally, two to three dozen seeds should be enough to ensure germination and growth of a satisfying number of plants. However, the most certain way to assure both parties will be satisfied is to discuss quantities when negotiating the trade. All the Seed Exchange FAQ that need some updating as far as postage costs. I will get to that in time. Sue >

Absolutely nothing remotely close to Sarah Lynn pops up in the AHS data base, so this must be unregistered and hence a garden name that someone ( perhaps its hybridizer) has given it. Webster's Pink Wonder is a great plant and you will enjoy it!

Surving the cold without power. We lost power for 4 days because of an ice storm about 4 years. Winter time, temps in the 20's during the day and teens at night. We camped out in our family room for 24 hours, with only a fireplace for heat. I hung big winter blankets over the doorways to keep the heat in the room (brilliant). On the second day we sent our kids to stay with friends, they had electricity. We had 2 dogs and a cat and stayed home to care for them. We had electrical workers in the neighborhood and they kept telling us it was a matter of hours before we got power , that turned into 4 days. Long story short- we burned alot of wood and honestly it wasn't that bad. wouldn't want to do it every year.

Thanks for the answer, Linda. The ENGLAND is stamped in ink under the glaze - there is a crackle finish over the entire bowl. I just have a regular camera, but I'm going to take some pictures of the bowl & the serving pieces. I don't know how to post them, but could email them to you to have a look at when I get them developed. Sue
