Anybody have some chive seeds they would be willing to trade?
Chive seeds are common and cheap... would cost at least five times the
price of a seed packet than two people would pay postage to accomplish
the swap.

Wow - what country do you live in? Seed packets around here are $2
and up for herbs and the like, and if I add a trip to the store, that
costs me another buck in gas at least - so $3 minimum.

First class stamp is under 50c.

But anyway, saving a little $ is probably not nearly as important as
sharing. That is a lot more fun.

I live in the same area that you do and it sounds like you are doing
your seed shopping in the wrong stores. The "dollar stores" like Dollar
Tree and Dollar General sell quite a variety of seeds for less than what
postage would cost. Just yesterday I notice that Dollar Tree had their
"10 for $1" seeds out already (and yes, they did have chives) and Dollar
General had their large pack of seeds for "4 for $1". Wal*Mart also has
seeds at less than $1 a pack (and they sell the more expensive seeds
too). Walgreens always has their "10 for $1" seed coupons in the
weekend ad insert.

I have never had any problem with "cheap seeds". They germinate just as
well as the expensive seeds and have been true to the what is listed on
the pack.

I agree with you that sharing is important but, even in this newsgroup,
you need to be careful giving someone your address. You just never know
who you are dealing with.
