Seed Listing Reminders
If anyone is still unclear about how to list seeds for the swap, please ask on this or the chat thread, or send me a tree-mail and I will try to walk you through it. Don’t forget about Dave’s YouTube video for a visual boost.

Out of courtesy to our swap partners, don’t forget to choose the appropriate box when you list your seeds to indicate if the seeds were collected by you, are commercial purchases, or are from another reputable trader. Also, if your seeds are more than a couple of years old, please include the approximate year of harvest, purchase or receipt in trade. Old seeds are fine with me and most are viable many years if stored properly, but people who choose them need to know if they should sow a little heavier, allow a little more time for germination, or take other steps to support germination of older seeds.
There are a few seeds with notoriously short viability and pelleted seeds are reportedly of shortened viability. If you think you have a variety with very short viability either don’t list it or be scrupulously clear about age. There are seed viability charts on the internet, and you will find one
