:) thank you loz! i will add one more thing. if any complaints are validated, the name of the violator will be posted in a "members to watch-trade at your own risk" topic. i'm chosing not to start that here, just yet, to give everyone a clean start.

This is my first day at the forum. What are the rules for trading seeds? How many seeds are expected? Any info is appreciated. I belonged to a seed swap before and have quite a few seeds I'd like to share.

Hi Gail, (shortening your name unless you mind?) Welcome again
The usual thing for seeds swaps is as much or a few more than you would get in a standard packet. Unless you discuss the amounts with your trading partner. It should all be easy and fun.

Hi Tina!
Thanks for the info. It's fun trading seeds from all over the country. I even got some seeds from Canada (Canada Mayflower). I have to look some of these seeds up because I've never even heard of them before. Snow on the Mountain??

Can anyone tell me how to retrieve a private message waiting for me? I think it's somebody that wants to trade seeds.

You just click on the "my stuff" icon at the top of the forum. That's where messages are. It is flashing if you have a message.

Mike

PM me

For seeds.......Sorry to hear of your health problems. Praying god gives you a Happy New Year..


Nice having you back..

Mike, I sent you a pm

Is there a seed exchange, a hosted one, going on at our site here now? I am searching the forums, but have not as yet come up with anything.
If there is, would anyone mind sending me the actual link to the page? I am horrid at finding my way around sites sometimes, and today seems to be one of those times.
Thanks to all, and it's so great to be back. :)

we don't have a hosted one yet. still debating/working on that.

Hello,

I will trade Black-Eye Susans for vegetable seeds. PM me if you're interested and for all the other details.


Have a great day!

Hello i'm new to gardening and am doing pretty well with the vegetables but i would like to try my hand at other stuff mainly yucca or golden dragon as i love them as house plants, i currently have no seeds to swap, well apart from the kind you can pick up from your local supermarket, but i am desperate to grow the two i mentioned i can pay p&p if anyone is willing to help, i cannot find where to buy anywhere online,

Hi welcome to the g helper.
I am dodge from Pennsylvania.

You planting Yucca for a house plant?

I will check my seeds an see if I have yucca left.

dodge

i live in the uk and the yucca doesn't like the british climate but loves indoors

Oh, sorry , we cant ship there.
Crazy rules on plants an seeds, forbid us to do it .

ah it was worth a try.... i'll keep looking, i dont know if the yucca i have will flower as it not in its native country well have to see.

Here it is an outside plant. I have white, and just started red from seed. I must of traded off the extras.

They are little but the white ones arent. Cold weather plants here.
