The Cal Hort Seed Exchange is open to members only. If you're not a member, please click on the "Membership" link to your left to find out how to become one! For those of you who are, you received a printed version of this list in your January Bulletin, along with the order form. This is a copy of that list to match the numbers up with the seeds.

We had planned to have photos accompanying the descriptions this year, but started too late to actually recieve many photos. So, plan ahead for next year and take photos of your plants to further aid everyone in their choices. See plant numbers 52, 150 and 253 for examples of how this will work.
