read me first





This is the extensive version of my trade list. I will update as often as possible. And, I will include specific information about each variety as I have the opportunity to provide it.  Please feel free to make an offer if you find there's something of interest to you.


If we've agreed to trade, please trade in good faith as I keep track of bad trades so I never again have to deal with people who have offered something in return for what I have and then not follow-thru. Your name and personal information WILL be posted here if you're found to be one of those individuals. 

ORGANIC GROWING
I'm an organic grower so seeds from plants grown within my garden are grown organically. 


HEIRLOOMS/OPEN POLLINATED
While my primary interests are growing heirloom and open pollinated varieties, I will consider growing some hybrids, specifically those which have not been genetically modified in any way.


SEED TRADING
For the most part, I do not trade seeds that have been given to me in a trade.  A few exceptions would be a neighbor providing me with seeds where I'm able to view the seeds from where the plants are derived and seeds from trusted garden friends. However, rarely, will such seeds be made available.  It is my preference to always grow out the items first to determine if the variety is labeled accurately. However, if they come from a source other than my direct purchase or growing out, I will advise accordingly.

Unless otherwise note, I trade a minimum of 24 seeds for standard sized seed (stock, broccoli, etc.)  and 10-12 seeds for large seeds (beans, peas, etc.)

PLANT TRADE
While I have many varieties of plants available, I do not have time to list them all at this point.  If there's something in particular you're interested in trading that is a plant, please do not hesitate to inquire. 

HEIRLOOM/HERITAGE ROSES
I am very interested in obtaining cuttings of heirloom/heritage roses.  If you have some you're interested in trading, contact me and I'll forward a list of what I have available.

SHIPPING
Unless we're trading for a significant number of packets, each trade goes out in a standard envelope where the packets have been enclosed in bubble wrap prior to shipping.  At this point, I've had great success shipping this way and there has not been a problem.  If we are trading a large number of packets, all packets will be placed in a large envelope (6x9) which is also wrapped in bubble-wrap. If this is an issue for you, please advise before trading.

I confirm once packets are dropped off at the post office so the receiver has an idea they're on their way.

If you find there's something of interest to you and you'd like to trade, please feel free to contact me.  I will respond as quickly as possible.
