I'm .30 away, though it sounds like the well may have run dry. I'm blown away with the generosity at the number and variety of seeds I'm getting already though! This is so fun.

@JessabelleJLH Is there something I've listed that's still on your wishlist? I'd be happy to toss it in your bag.

I have 1 ticket left after the generosity from you folks! Smiling

Who would like me to select something from their offers to get them to another ticket as well?

That is so generous! I have a few so just pick one 😀 I would love arugula or any root veggie (carrot, radish, turnip, or parsnip).

I obviously don't need the seeds but I'm considering participating in the next one just because this is so much fun!

What reddit group did y'all come from? It's very unusual I find things on my own that lead back to Reddit and not the other way around...

I recruited a few people from the seedswap subreddit. Also a few from some facebook seedswapping pages. In total, 18 people registered using my direct link to the site so I got a bunch of acorns Smiling

This is a great way to trade though because of the large selection available and the rush you get when it comes time to place dibs on offers.

I'm looking forward to next year and some of you should see me in a few more trades on garden.org!

Yall made this so much fun. THANK YOU. Thank You! Hurray!

Jess, I have a couple parsnips & I think turnips I'll be glad to share. I don't like them so getting rid of them will free up space for another packet of something else.

I've been away from the site for some time and I'm hoping someone can explain what you mean by "tickets"
Thank you for helping me understand. I tip my hat to you.

I'll join @hammerojustice in admitting I'm an unrepentant seed hoarder. But in my defense, I do pass along a bunch to new gardeners (along with an invitation to join in seed swaps like this onelol)


Thank you! Smiling

In a nutshell:
You join a swap and list everything you have to offer.
Every night during the swap you receive a certain number of tickets. Each ticket allows you to "buy" one item that someone else listed.
You also get an extra fraction of a ticket for each item you sell; you earn half a ticket the first night, then smaller amounts as the swap goes on.
Towards the end, there's always a few people that have a partial ticket left, so I offer to buy something from them to help push them closer to getting one last thing they wanted.

Any other questions, just ask.

@JessabelleJLH Jess, would you be interested in swapping some of your rainbow coleus for Hamburg rooted parsley or Green Luobo radishes?

Wow! what a thrill it's been! I've dibbed on so many items, I feel I'm hogging too many seeds. Seems like the more I dib, the more tickets keep coming! I've gotten most on my wishlist, so if anyone needs tickets, I'll see if I can help.
I've done many swaps on other sites (DG and GW) but haven't had one like this before...

A Hug Thank you Thank You! , Dave and Libby for a fantastice swap. I was hesitant to join but now I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thank You! everyone for offering your seeds.

Absolutely! I'll stick some coleus in for you. I'm fascinated by the rooted parsley. If you want to hold onto them, I've never looked a gift radish in the... root? Hilarious!

Totally happy to share the rooted parsley! It'll be my first time growing it as well. Thanks for the coleus!
