Come join us! 3rd Annual Tomato & Pepper Seed Exchange

[RJ_Hythloday]

I wish I could join you again this year. Two weeks before planting out my military housing community put the kibosh on all gardens. I gave my tomato plants to a fellow gardener who put them in a new bed behind his new house where nothing prospered this year. I've moved cross country and gotten out of the military, I'm in student family housing and will be able to have a small plot next year, yeah! Unfortunately I don't have space to start seeds and nothing to trade this year. I will be back in the community though, and back in this trade maybe next round.

We're up to 100 participants. Looking to break last years record of 120. Come join in the fun !!!!

I live in Central Florida and will have a few peppers I'm growing this winter. I'd like some tomato seeds. Anyone care for some Big Jims or some White Habanero's. The white Habanero's are beautiful and abundant.

I'm late getting into this. Sorry. I'll send what I've got. I'd like to participate.

Welcome GatorStamp

I'm sure there will be a number of people that would love to have the peppers you're growing. I just sent you a private message with further info.

Thanks....Heather

We're up to 104 participants. If anyone has been lurking...there's still time to join. If you live in the US or Canada, as long as you're able to mail your seeds by Nov 1, they should get here in time. For those living outside Canada and the US, you still have time if you can mail your seeds within the next week or so.

Mine will be leaving this week, and i will PM you the day that i send them, Heather.

2 questions:

1) I have quite a few more seeds of some varieties than I will need for next season. Can I donate additional packs so others can get more then what they put in (if they haven't put in the max)? For example, I have enough Black Cherry tomato seeds for 15 packets.

2) I have some hot pepper seeds that I saved, but they are all open pollinated. Since peppers are at a higher risk of cross pollination, should I NOT send them? I have plenty of tom seeds to meet the 40 pack max, so it really doesn't matter to me.

Thanks for coordinating all of this!

Today I received seeds from:

* idahowoman
* ontariocanada

Thanks....Heather

As a friendly reminder...if there's anyone that previously signed up for the swap, but has changed their mind for any reason - please get in touch with me to advise so I don't hold up the swap unnecessarily waiting for an envelope that isn't coming.


Thanks for your consideration everyone.
Still time to sign up if you haven't already done so. We're up to 106 participants and lots of great seeds coming in.

[franzb69]

Franzb69, I received your seeds a week ago. Sent you a private message to advise and posted in this thread. I guess you never saw the notes.
