I like getting things from the wonderful bulb exchange, and I am amazed at all the work Dell does. I get the digest form of the messages. I don't get a chance to check E-mail every day; sometimes, not for a week or more. So I often miss bulb exchanges. However, sometimes when I am checking E-mail I see the BX is not yet closed. I often get most or all of what I request. I realize sometimes I get something that somebody else might want but did not get. Not all of us can grow all these things to perfection. But when I do grow something and get seed, I send it to the BX so the people who missed out the first time can get it. I think the people who get things I wanted but missed have the same attitude. And I take comfort in knowing a lot of the people who have better conditions than I for some of these plants are frequent contributors to the bulb exchanges, so I will probably have another chance at something I really wanted.
