Hi Heather. I received "the envelope" today - Christmas Eve - a very nice Christmas present. Thank you! You mailed it on December 7, so it took 17 days to travel 1304 road miles (77 miles a day).

Here's MY result:

I contributed 14 varieties of OP tomatoes in 36 packets, 4 varieties of dwarf tomatoes in 17 packets and 1 hot pepper variety in 2 packets, a total of 19 varieties in 55 packets.

I requested 22 tomato varieties, 3 sweet pepper varieties and 2 hot peppers.

I received 41 tomato varieties of which 12 matched my requests (55%), 4 varieties of sweet peppers of which 3 matched my requests (100%) and 18 varieties of hot pepper of which 1 matched my requests (50%). I received 63 packets in exchange for my 55 submissions. Overall 59% of my requests were matched. Not bad at all, a success in my book. Thanks again, Heather, AND to all the other contributors, as well.
