Seed Exchange, anyone?

Hey neighbor! I'd like to join. How about some aurugula seeds, some wild lettuces, large yellow tomatoes, and in a little while (fingers crossing) nine of the ten hottest peppers in the world. (I'm missing the very hottest). These stinkers take a long time to germinate, and need a lot of heat/humidity to get them going right. Once established, they do well. I try to always let one plant go to seed of each type I'm planting, but boy oh boy the aurugula went nuts. I had to take out a large sheet and put a paper bag on top of that to keep them flying off everywhere. I always vacccum seal them.

Me! Me! I will have pumpkin seeds in October and Indian corn in November. (I harvest the seeds from whatever doesn't sell for decorations and the chickens didn't eat.

I do have seeds left over from last year too. I will have to look.....maybe some pumpkin, indian corn and sunflowers.

We may need to be careful for we who live in snow country. If you look at a seed map, we are in zone 3, so some things that will grow south will not have time to mature here. I try for watermelon every year. Haven't had one grow yet - even when started inside from seed with the tomatoes.

Will be checking this thread to see what develops.

Tomorrow, I will go over everything everyone suggested and take that to a new thread for sign up. It will probably be in the afternoon. Today was a busy day with a 12 hr round trip to Vegas then the rest of the day with the family and my new grandson.

Look for the sign up thread!!!

I have lots and lots of seeds too!

There are a couple of ways to do this. We could all mail our seeds to you in individually packaged quantities and include a couple of bucks for postage. (most of us have a thousand seeds of a few particular items You can divide the packages up so that each person gets one of each. OR

we can mail to each other.. which can be sort of haphazard as to what you get.

I was thinking of either dividing the seeds so everyone gets a little of each kind. Do you think that would be best...sort of a grab bag? If we could have sowing instructions with each kind, that would be awesome. If you send in a particular seed you wont get that back, but you will get what everyone else sent in.

If it's easier to send self addressed stamped envelopes, we can do it that way. I'm going over all the posts and will have the sign up thread post later.

I'm in. I have lots of heirloom seeds as well. Are we doing flower seeds? I have tons of those.
