Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! My gardens are not very big, under 1/4 acre typical suburban lot. I just like to try lots of different plants and have crammed a lot of individual plants into small spaces. It is not totally native plants, but I have been adding far more natives than non-natives the past few years. I still have more turf grass than I'd like though.

I've been doing some looking around to try and familiarize myself with the site. I read through some of the posts about the new swap system, but there are a whole lot of them. Is there a summary post of how it all works that I missed? Is it best to add plants to a main plant inventory list that you can use from year to year and then copy entries over to a swap list. I saw the option in the plant list to mark items available for trade also, is that a separate thing from adding it to the swap list. My preference would be to just have things listed as available for a group swap and not individual trades for now.

I think I will have some time to figure it all out after I join, but want to make sure I am doing things correctly. There isn't a way to add things to lists in bulk like with a delimited text file is there? I have most of my seed I trade already in an Access database that I use to generate lists, packet labels, trade spreadsheets, etc. I didn't see an import option, but wanted to make sure I wasn't just missing it before I start adding things manually.

Thanks in advance for any tips!
