Who would participate in a produce swap?

WOW that is expensive! You're in Alaska...I know your food is much more expensive. We would probably have to adjust some. I don't know what the equivalent would be because of the drastic differences in cost of living. I guess whatever anyone would be willing to part with for it that both parties are agreeable on you just can't argue with. I'd be willing to send a box of fresh produce or several dozen hatching eggs for a quart. My kiddo goes through some syrup. Here the maple is around $30 a quart.

It costs that much, because of the ratio of sap to syrup. Its 100 to 1, whereas with Maple, its 40 to 1.
We really are a bit more expensive then the lower 48, but nowhere near as spendy as Hawaii!
Probably not a good idea to trade it for anything.

Oh I didn't know...must be very very time consuming to make that stuff then! I bet it's worth it though!

That would be awesome too. You got my interest with those heirloom peas. All my stuff came from Johnny's this year, but none are on the list of Monsanto seeds. Next year I was going to do Bakers' Seeds.

We planted all we had this year, so I will get you some dried out here in a few months

Awesome! I do so solemnly swear on this bag of mulch never to sell your seeds.

I just looked at the seed swap on TEG and it's a bit daunting. Since it started over here, I say we can just run one here. It could just be cause I don't like making new friends. I am just feeling comfortable here.

sune I think that's as good an idea as any. We like you over here with us anyways

You wanna head up the seed swap then?

ETA: I have no seed to swap right now...all mine is in the ground

Start it? Sure, in this thread or a new one? I will have to go look at the seeds I have.

ETA should we have some ground rules? # of seeds, that sort of thing?

Johnny's??? I never heard of it. I get mine from Sandhill, I could let go of some sugar snap and wando peas that I have extra from sandhill... seems I misunderstood my mother (we split the order) and I ordered twice what we needed/wanted.

Now, to google to find Johnny's!

Let's do a new one so we can keep it seperate from the produce trading we will do later on when folks gardens get to coming in good.

I don't either, but you two seen how well I get along with people! lol

sune42 will be starting a seed swap thread for us as soon as we define the rules. If anyone wants to give some input on what rules we should consider feel free to toss out ideas to us.
