I really appreciate that Steve is slow to close the SX and that he continues to list old seed still available when he posts a new list instead of waiting for an end of the year sale. I know that has to be more work for him, having all that seed on hand, but it means an opportunity to plant seeds closer to the right time and if you missed one seed exchange you may still be in luck and find seeds from the previous offering. It must be very hard for Dell with so many people wanting the limited supply of bulbs that he receives. I'm amazed he is still willing to be in charge. By my record he started volunteering to do this job in 1999 for IBS. I doubt there has ever been anyone in charge of seed/bulb exchanges for so many years. Mary Sue
