Seed Swapping


https://sites.google.com/site/thedummyfarmer/home


I have just started to look at sites for which you can trade your seeds, and I have started my own, well a list. If you follow the link above, you can view my seeds. I just started to build this web page today, so I haven't quite figured out the details, but if there is seed that you would like to trade for, email me. Most of the seeds that I am presently offering are store bought. This year I intend on seed saving and will be offering next year one year tested garden seeds . My soil is all natural, I could opt for an organic status but choose not to, expensive. Ideas, suggestions are welcome.

I have discovered that there is a "National Seed Swap Day", the last Saturday of the Month in January. This phenomenon started in Washington in 2006 and since then cities across the nation have joined the celebration.

http://www.backyardgardener.com - backyard gardener - forum - seed exchange – many offerings – not a very friendly user site.

http://www.blossomswap.com/wiki/swap-seeds-on-blossom-swap - blossom swap - Post your list on The Seed Swap forum. In this forum Blossom Swap members offer seeds for trade and request seeds they are interested in. Lists may also include offers for postage. When your seed is gone you must edit your listing to remove.

http://www.emilycompost.com/seed_exchange.htm We have decided that we have to shut down the seed exchange at least temporarily. We have been overrun with spam e-mail to the point that it is uncontrollable. As we redesign the remainder of the site we will redesign this page so as not to generate spam. Thank you for your support. Keep checking the site for a redesign.

http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/exseed/ - recommended by mother earth news magazine - this site trades seeds and plants and garden articles too. just about anything that goes in your garden can be found.

http://www.garden.org/seedswap/ - national garden association - traditional swaps are a 2-way trade. interested parties will contact you by phone or email. We store information about your seed offering or request in our database, along with your email address. when someone wishes to swap seed with you, they will submit their email address. we will then send you an email with that person's address so that you may contact them and make arrangements for the seed swap.

http://www.seedswaps.com -Seedswaps is a community where we make seed trading with others easy and convenient. do you have more seeds tahn you need for your garden next year?would you like to have hard to find seeds for your garden?

http://www.thriftyfun.com/board_seeds.html - this is the easiest web site so far for swapping. Over 310 listings!
