I decided to create this community because I didn’t see one already. I had hoped to trade seeds with others, and it’s getting close to the time of year where we’re harvesting seeds, or planting late-season crops (in the northern hemisphere, anyway). Hopefully others will see value in this community.

These have been reseeding here for a few years and building up the stand. There was one rogue blue one in there this year, but 99+% pink.

As I wait for new seeds from my garden this year (and to get this community kickstarted), I've got some seeds I harvested a few years ago that I can trade. I've grown from these seeds this year, so they should be fine.

  • Basil - Lemon
  • Okra - Clemson Spineless

I usually go for edible plants, with a penchant for peppers (spicier the better). Open to other possibilities too, especially if I haven't grown them before.
