Dear Diane, What a wonderful idea! I'd be more than happy to about seed saving techniques. The February date works perfectly for me, as I'll be back from visiting my sister by then. I think your plan for is very practical - those small envelopes will be perfect. I'm so pleased that other neighbors are interested too. Priya's pepper varieties sound fascinating! I'd love to try growing some of those. It's amazing how can connect us to our heritage and family stories. We had our first frost here in Calgary last week too. I managed to before the cold hit. I'm wondering if we should create a simple spreadsheet where everyone can list what to the exchange? That way we could all plan better. Looking forward to February! Marissa
