Seed Keepers

[Pumpkin Lady <pumpkin@xanadoo.com>]

I was going to respond to a post this morning, and I though, no...some 
people have seemed to want conversation to be only seed trading just 
lately, better ask. So I asked, and the following is what I got back 
with my message included so it'll make sense

Ok, people, is gardening talk part of what you're here for or do you 
just want to swap seeds?  Do you want a different list provided for 
gardening conversation?

Morgan, who if she gets a vote on seed swapping etiquette would really 
like to ask that people contact the people offering or wanting privately 
rather than on the list unless private email bounces.
