Sure, why not!

Here is the link to the document. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...wwELpyGP8/edit

Duplicates do happen sometimes, but hey, you are getting so many of free packs of seeds, who cares.

For real. They can be traded for something else or shared with friends and neighbors.

I don't know about others, but my old puter does not like google docs. It froze and then I got a bunch of pop ups from the site.

I have to look for wishes on the Spoiler thread and post mine there too.

The only thing I suggest if you do that is take whatever you get and put it in the freezer. The reason I say that is because most of those places don't clean out the bins fully and with them sitting wide open, tiny almost microscopic little bugs will be in the seeds sometimes and that way you can kill any hitch hikers that may be along on the seed hiding.

Starlight, if you want, PM me your Wish List when it is completed and I will post it on the document for you.

If anyone else has the same issue, I would be happy to help you out too.

(Gee, I hope that my puter likes google docs.)

Thanks MissS. I appreciate that. It will be a big help.

Not sure what I want yet. I still got seed from this last swap I will have to do next year. I wanted to do all I had gotten but one fall broke two toes and fractered top of foot then just about got it healed and took another fall and broke two toes on other foot. Still had some head issues and balance at time from accident I guess that caused the falls.

Of course there are the days when I can trip over the invisable lumps in the carpet too.

AlittleSalt · July 28, 2016

Good idea Star. I am so tired of microscopic bugs.

Where can I hire a nanotek warrior?

No doubt. Really not complaining (at all, I am humbled and thrilled that Tormato willingly coordinates this swap). I just seemed to recall a lack of duplicates the last time that I participated and imagined that it didn't happen strictly by chance. I just couldn't remember how. The Have List is the answer. I am delighted to send my Have List along with my seeds. Thankfully I already have it typed up (alphabetically and in columns) from the last time that I participated and have updated in in the years since, so hooray!

ETA: and I would have no problem if the Have List was not an option and it was left to chance/wish lists. I am confident I would not be as patient and generous as Tormato, but since he is willing, I'm happy to send my list along

Before buying any, PM me a list of what the feed store has. I wouldn't want you sending me the "Cherokee Purple" of bean varieties (that half of participants might also be sending in).

AlittleSalt · July 29, 2016

Tormato, I already have some "Cherokee Purple" bean varieties that I know you don't need. Top Crop and Black Eyed Peas. I'll PM you in about a week.

There were loads of Black Eyed Peas the past few years, but almost no Top Crop beans.

Starlight · July 29, 2016

Can you do a germ test with paper towel in baggy for bean seeds? I got some what I think is special beans. They a special heirloom. I didn't grow any this year, so want to make sure germ is still good on them before sending in.

cmwsquirrl · July 31, 2016

So how do i join?

Tormato · August 1, 2016

You may want to contact fusion_power about test germinating. I'm thinking there's a thread, somewhere here at T'ville, about reviving old bean seed.

Al@NC · August 2, 2016

Count me in! This will be my first year and I'm excited!!

cmwsquirrl · August 3, 2016

Would love to join need a sponcer though

I have several questions.

1.) Is this swap just for tomato, pepper, and bean seeds?

2.) I don't have seeds to send in. I could help with postage for someone who wishes to participate who lives on a fixed income or who's budget is very tight. Is this possible?

3.) If # 2 is not an option could someone sponsor me, please?

beasl004 I would be very interested in the German Queen tomato seeds. I wanted to grow some this year and couldn't find any for sale in the garden centers or farm supply stores around here.

Starlight, I enjoy many different kinds of lettuce. I've been wanting to try some Chinese cabbage varieties to see how they do here....
