| Thanks Cathy, a little etiquette goes a long way. Thanks for sharing. Also here at DG we've access to seed labels print out, which can be found at Saving Seeds forum. This feature was generously added by Paul (PFord1856). One can just simply select the type of seeds with picture, or some generic ones to be filled in...

| Loved the article - I have received several trades thus far this year and have to giggle when I open an envy and all it says is the common name and nothing else so then off to plant files I go or to one of my reference books to double check germination requirements, soil and sun requirements etc...I mean I'm glad people think I'm that smart LOL this may be an overly optimistic opinion on my part :)~ |

| Nice article Catherine. I think I may have been guilty of using too small of a font -- hope you weren't one of the recipients - but when i noticed that I had trouble reading the label... i knew i had to make it larger.

| Great job! You rock!
I wish I had this info when I started, because I had a few traders that read me the riot act when I didn't have anything but the common name on it. I felt about 1 inch high. Not good. |

| That's a pity Robynznest - people like that can sure take the fun out of trading. They miss an opportunity to reach out and help people... |

| Robyn -- yes, that is a real bummer.. probably make me gun-shy for trading. hopefully that is just a select few.
I got a bunch of seeds once, and one packet said something to the effect of ... "Well, it may be ***** "
so, basically mystery seed. I still have them somewhere... should plant them just to see what comes up... the FUN of trading. |
