Hi!

Can anyone tell me when this will happen?

I still have Broad Bean Giant Exhibition Longpod for the veggie exchange.

Thanks. Bill

It normally happens after the Pumpkin Seed trading is done. Here is the deal. You send your seeds to us. 15-20 prepackaged exchanges. Then we will combine all exchanges and send them back to you. Anything Giant or Unique with controlled pollination is exceptable. Last years seed exchange had some really excellent exchanges.

Bill please remember that you will need to obtain a Phyto Certificate if you are sending any Seeds to the USA. Here is a link that will help with understanding this requirement.

Unfortunately Broad Beans are subject to tighter restrictions than Pumpkin seeds in addition to a phyto cert. they are supposed to have an import permit issued in the USA and the seed is treated don't know what with.

I have a few giant seeds that got inspected last year,it should just be a matter of picking up the phone to get a certificate for those.If so I will send them to Shannon and pass around whatever comes back.

Put them in a bag and label it as soup mix...I understand what they are trying to accomplish but I think they go overboard sometimes.
