Hi all. I attended the swap for the first time last year and left with tomato seedlings that did very well. They were grown by the dozens in styrofoam cups, but I don't remember the name of the grower. I'd like to get a few indeterminate tomato seedlings again, if possible.

My strawberries need refreshing, so if you have a variety that doesn't spread too aggressively, I'm interested. Many got decimated by flea beetles, so I'd like to start over in large planters with fresh media.

I'd really like to grow raspberries/blueberries/blackberries, if they're a variety that can 1) survive outdoors year-round (so hardy to zone 5b) and 2) can tolerate living in a roughly 10 gallon container (or smaller). I'd be happy to take divisions, cuttings, baby plants, etc.

For houseplants, I'd appreciate Pachira aquatica if you have an extra one or even just a cutting. I also like orchids, but it'd have to be one that can be indoors year-round and can tolerate 50% or lower humidity. I'm also collecting Tillandsia (air plants).

I don't know yet what I'll be able to bring, unfortunately.

Thanks!
