I think most seed swaps would welcome you. If you didn't want anything offered in that swap, maybe the organizer would pre-arrange to pay back your one-way postage.

Or you might even see some seeds you'd like to try!

We talked once about setting up some kind of "welcome new member" seed give-away, but no one volunteered to do the work or hold the "stash". (There are also the questions of figuring out what each new member might want, and what might grow there, or be invasive there.)

BTW, if you go into the Plant Database and find seeds or plants that you have, you can "Add Them To Your Plant List" and give them categories like "Available for Trade", "Available For Sale", or create your own custom category like : "Available For Postage".

Then each person who goes to that variety in the database will see the list of people who "Have" that plant or seed. From that list, its easy to see "Available for Trade" and fairly easy to see what personal category you have them in.

The "official categories" are :
- "Available for Trade" and
- "Available For Sale"
We don't have an official category for "Available for Postage" or "Available for SASE". (Yet)
Hmm, "Available for Acorns?" I'd go for that!

I guess someone could list seeds seeds as "Available for Sale", with a price of 0 cents plus S&H.

I have personal categories :
- - "Got Lots: for Postage" and
- - "Seeds Available For Trade" and
- - "Just A Few Seeds Left".
