Is there a seed swap happening this year? I've done a search but haven't found one for the 21/22 season. Thank you. I just joined and am looking forward to learning from you all.

We have a "Seed Forum" within this site. They are constantly posting seed swaps, seeds for sale, seeds that are being looked for. That's where you should go.

A couple of swaps have already taken place, one just ending half an hour ago, but I think there are a couple more on the horizon. In the menu bar at the top of this page go to Tools, then select seed swaps. You will be able to see what's ended, current, and what's coming up.

Thanks everyone for helping me find the right place. So excited by this forum (she says as she falls down the rabbit hole!). Is there a place that talks about proper "etiquette" for swaps. Basically I don't have much to trade this year but hope to learn more about saving seeds this year so I can participate in the future. Is there a place or way that I can locate seeds that don't require a trade this year. I would of course be more than willing to send a SASE if that is allowed here. Apologies if that is against the rules. I'm new an learning how things work Thanks again!

The tutorial that that Janine mentions above is what tipped me over into joining a group swap this yr. It made it so much more easy to be a part of the fun. nodding
