Yes, seeds you didn't personally collect are fine, as long as they are fresh (intended for planting in 2013.) Please, swap away!

I am growing long skinny sweet peppers. They are green with thin skin, and ripen to red. They get about 6 inches long or more and are about the diameter of a finger. I think they may be the ones used to make Paprika. My seeds originally came from Turkey. The plant survived through a winter in Central Florida and is still producing. If anyone wants seeds as I harvest the fruit I will collect them for you...

I also have Hopi Red Dye Amaranth coming up from seeds I did not collect last year. These will not be ready until end of summer this year, but I if you let me know you want them, I will collect them for you. The leaves and seeds are edible, as are the flowers (you could add them as garnish on a salad) and the flowers make red dye. I cut one to use in salad, then didn't make the salad: I put the cutting in water and noticed that the water turned pink, so I bet you could crush the stems for a dye, too. The leaves don't have much flavor, but they are a lovely burgandy color, with some green sometimes.

I have never done a swap: do I have join the swap page to list this?

The way our swap works is you claim the current offer up if its something you want then you make your offer and wait for someone to claim it.
