I would love to see some pictures of your favorite plants from the seeds you are listing in the swap. And maybe a little information about them.
I will start with this Smallhead/White Doll Daisy. This is 4 second year plants up against a 4' fence. I was so excited to see them get so full. They are going to look great with zinnia in front of them this year.
I am zone 5b/6a and they are a perennial that have no problem in this zone.

Mountainlakecorner, That daisy looks beautiful and would work as a nice screen in my front yard which faces my neighbor's backyard (he's on the corner)! I hope to put up a partial fence of some kind too! Yours here is so pretty!

Mary Jo, the fence is a necessity to keep in the pups and the deer out. Because of our town restrictions it is actually considered temporary. We get it in 2 panel sections from Lowes. We have been adding sections for 8 years and they older ones look as good as the ones we added this past year.

I'm so glad this old, travel-weary male monarch butterfly found rest on my swap milkweed this past summer. Despite its name, I've come to discover that moist, not swampy is the best location for this milkweed (Asclepias incarnata). Swamp milkweed is deer resistant and great for monarchs young and old! For this swap I am offering seeds collected fall, 2021.

Toni, I have deer too. Does your 4' fence keep them out? I've seen them jump fences over here. Thanks for the tip as to where you got yours!

Mary Jo,
I guess I let the dogs into the garden enough that the deer stay out. We even see the tracks in the snow go around the fence. We are on one of their paths and they come through on a regular basis.

This is Sunkiss Tickseed Coreopsis, it is a perennial and in its 3rd year. They are compact and about 18" tall. It bloomed all season. It produces nice little seed heads that are easy to harvest if you wait until the seed heads are black to pick off.


I am in zone 5b/6a.

Please join me in posting some of your favorites you are listing.
This is Blue Mistflower that I winter sowed last year. It was about 3' with leaves that resembled mint and had late season blooms.



This was the only picture I had and did not do it justice.

I haven't grown these yet, but I am SUPER excited to grow them this year!

@aprilard1 I haven't seen these before but they look a little like the cupcake variety. I just planted the Zinederella Peach.

Is there an interest in Marigolds here? If so, I have a seed jar of these French Marigolds, and will make up some seed packs for this swap. Seen here with Thai Basil, already listed.

Are you going to have any seed from this listed thanks

@thomasjones2266 Yes I am going to put in 3 packs, if you don't get one let me know and I will reload with more.

Disco marigolds, a Park seed that I WS.

Blue Hubbard squash and Violetto triumpho beans.

Scarlet runner beans

Bright Red Ricinus Communis Castor Bean
And violetto triumpho beans

These are Arizona Apricot Gaillardia - Blanket Flower. These are only about 12" tall and make a wonderful boarder plant. These are perennials and were also winter sowed last year and got first year blooms. They bloom most of the season with bright daisy like flowers and leave behind puff balls after the petals fall off. They are very easy to harvest seeds from.

Clematis My Angel



Strawflower copper red

Lobelias perennial white and blue, offered separately

love the lobelia but I'm afraid my deer would eat them
