dewayx said:I'm noticing a lack of cacti/succulent and tree seeds and wonder, why there are so many flowery and cabbagey bits around? Also not a lot of indoor/exotic/tropical plants in general, which is quite sad. Searched through the whole 60 pages of swaplist and found only three items that would remotely be of interest.
Am I too specific in my search or are others too focused on green leafy
edible things?
Hammerojustice said:Does anyone have any Consort black currant seeds? I'd rather not have to buy another bush/tree... My wife will kill me if I buy any more... lol... I've already bought 21 fruit trees and 10 blueberries, 2 honeyberries, a 6-pack of boysenberries, and a red currant... I got free strawberry runners from a neighbor assuming I didn't get them in the ground too late... but I was hoping someone might have the black currant too. Just curious

No black currant seeds here, but just a note on the strawberries. Here in Zone 6A early November is an excellent time to transplant rooted strawberry runners according to a fellow who grew large quanties for many years. He said too much earlier and the heat may kill them. Now is a great time.
dewayx said:Oh that brings me to another question...
Some Kalanchoes are unable to produce seeds but make tons of bulbils along their leaves. Are only seeds allowed or cuttings, "runners", and bulbils too? As long as we can ensure they survive shipping, of course.

Kathy547 said: I would offer pecan tree seeds but I don't know how to harvest them. I seldom offer seeds I've collected myself because I don't know how to collect seeds & am afraid of doing it wrong. Of offering chaff while throwing out actual seeds . I buy vegetable seeds from my local feed store, which usually sells by the half pound, pound, etc. so I just divide them up. When I buy flower packets or other seeds, I usually get 1 or 2 extras to have for trading.
I'll have Mimosa & redbud tree seeds if I can get to them in time.
