Hi all,
Seeing that I am in Both of the swaps at for this year I have decided I am going to change it up a bit. I have some seeds in both swaps, but the majority are in one or the other. I want you all to get a taste of some of the different varieties I have. So watch both groups to see what I have in each one. Add to the fun.

I'm doing the same. I'm saving most of my self-collected seeds for the "Not Off The Seed Rack" seed swap.

Great idea ladies. I'm short seed wise this year and I know I have 4 swaps here. Some can make all 4 swaps, some can't. But I have also made sure I have things that are different to all 4 swaps.

Oh, I'm a little sad! I only have the time and energy for one swap and rarely have enough interesting stuff to contribute to the not from the seed rack swap so I only do this one.

Are you able to see seed listings in swaps you're not a part of?

I don't think you can, but you can sign up temporarily to have a look, and then remove yourself from the swap.

I'm going to do Karen's lightning swap in Dec. I can't do two swaps a week apart-too crazy! I was only going to do this swap but once I got my seed orders in I realized I had enough for another swap. But that's it! I won't be swapping again until 2019.

Ha, famous last words. I was going to quit this one yesterday, because I am just too busy, but 3 pages into checking what seeds are listed I realized I must have been crazy to even think to quit. Now I will just spend hours every night to list seeds, lol.

I only have time/energy for one seed swap, it's a lot of work!
I have been in both D&D and NFTSR swaps, lately had been in the other because the timing suited me best. Now that they are basically the same timing, I picked this one because there were more folks signed up. I am glad to hear some folks are in both, so I don't miss out.

I don't think I could ever skip this swap, lol. It's always been my opening swap since the beginning so I doubt wild horses could drag me away. Smiling I do understand folks having to make choices though and am so glad for those that can join us. The more the merrier. Smiling This is gonna be a great swap. Group hug

Awww, Karen! Group hug You know we love having you in this swap, too. And the more the merrier, absolutely!

@Pistil - I'm super happy to see that you'll be in the swap again. You're part of the DND Seed Swap family, y'know. ;-) It would be sad to not have you.

I love how our membership is growing every year, but especially that I get to 'see' so many of you from year-to-year. It brings such joy to my life to have this seed-family reunion. Lovey dubby

This is my 3rd year in this swap. My first year I only had maybe less then 10 different kinds of seeds to offer for trade. This year I have over 30 different kinds thanks to all you wonderful gardeners so willing to share. Thank You! for helping to make my garden grow! Am so happy that now I can pay it forward.
Happy Gardening :-)

The comradeship engendered by the swaps is even better than the seeds.

I'm right there with you... Between few varieties to offer, being a noobie (& trying to understand this all), I can't do more than one.

You aren't alone. ;)

Lol, who says one is not enough. Do you have any idea how many seeds you get? It's like over 100 pks. Of seeds. I too only have the time & energy to do one swap. So glad I picked DnDs it's the best one out there. Hurray!
Have fun everyone I tip my hat to you. Thank You!
Happy Gardening :-)

I hope no one does not enter a swap due to amount of packs to offer. As long as you can meet the minimum, feel free to join them. We ALL were newbies at one point, and we actually understand when we have new swappers. Me personally, doesn't bother me what or how much you are offering. I'm just happy you joined us. Smiling

Same here. I'm unashamed in my enabling other gardeners. Whatever seeds I don't use (get a pack of 10 tomato seeds, I only need one, so that leaves at least 6 extras) get passed on to others, among with an invitation to start swapping.
