Between November 1st and November 14th, please send your bubbles. In those bubbles I would like you to put $10 in to cover shipping expenses. I will get them organized and on January 1st I will be sending everyone the complete bubbles. I am trying to avoid packages getting lost in December. Thanks for participating in the seed exchange this year.

I don't know why I put that. I am still drying seeds. Before December would be best. Thanks for the reminder. To all if you have already dried seeds I would recommend making at least 60 packs with labels. If you can send it in the first 2 weeks of November I would encourage it. Mainly trying to save you time so you don't have to wait in the long lines. I would segment an hour of your time of waiting in line at the post office. As it approaches December possibly 2 hours.

Porkchop---you could try G. Kins's's' fan blow-through method, or a low-temp food dehydrator - i thought the fan blowing through a screen was pretty clever---eg

Corn is slow to dry... Not sure I would make the 2 week timeline but a month (Dec. 1) should be ok.

I clean my screen door, set it horizontally between two chairs right below a ceiling fan. All this after brief separate bleach and alcohol soakings. Sometimes I’ll add a box fan to speed it up. Good luck!

Sweet. Count me in. I enjoy growing everything. Maybe I'll get something new for a cool indoor grow this winter.
