Seeds I have to trade:

  • Hello everyone!
  • Take a look and see if there is anything you want. If you want to trade larger seeds like beans, I prefer to do trades of 3 or more to make the most of postage costs. Will make exceptions for unusual or rarer varieties.
  • SEEDS I HAVE TO TRADE:
  • NOTE: MY Home-saved seeds were isolated by as much space as I could allow on my limited property, which is not as much as is recommended for complete purity,( I attempted bagging but it didn't go well) so I only offer trades of home-saved seeds of plants that, according to the book SEED TO SEED have a small chance of crossing occuring. To help identify any crosses I also alternated same species plants that had very different characteristics, such as color so that any crossing would be easy to identify. (i.e put white or yellow tomatos between the reds)I also separated plants by flowers and flowering herbs in hopes that pollinators would be distracted from the veggie flowers.

Seeds I am looking for:

  • I am interested in just about anything, flower or vegetable or fruit or herbs, not already on my list of haves, so try me with whatever you've got. I especially like rare or unusual beans and peas and family heirloom seeds. I am not afraid of home saved, just let me know whether you prevented cross pollinating or not so I know to weed out any crosses.
  • *Only heirlooms or OP varieties UNLESS it is a biennial (broccoli, onions, carrots, etc.) since I don't have the means or the zone to save seeds from those, I will consider hybrids.
  • Also, I prefer trades of at least 3 varieties, to make to most of shipping costs. That doesn't mean I don't want to trade if you only want to trade 1, it just means don't hesitate to offer a bigger trade.
