Frugal Gardener Garden Procrastinator I helped beta test the first seed swap Plant and/or Seed Trader Seed Starter Region: Pacific Northwest
Photo Contest Winner: 2014 Avid Green Pages Reviewer Garden Ideas: Master Level Garden Sages I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! I helped plan and beta test the plant database.
Don't forget to count the cost of sending seeds to DnD. That's at least $2.50, even in a weighed bubble mailer sent early enough for First Class mail to get there.

But I hope more "vegetable people" sign up!

To me, the hardest part of seed trading is listing oddball singleton seed packets. When I have only one of something but don't want it anymore, it seems like a lot of work to list just that one, older packet. But I used to join Heather's tomato and pepper swap, in Canada but accepting US members. So I have many odd packets getting older every year.

Ignoring for the moment how old they are and whether I already gave it away but fialed to reocrd that fact, do any of these sound desirable to you?
