Greetings fellow growers!
Do to Phil not being able to continue the seed swap my wife and I have agreed to take over the seed exchange.

Here is how it works:
The number of participants will be limited to the first 50 who post "I'm in and what your are sending.
Next, you need to send in 50 individually labeled bags with a decent amount of seeds included. For example.....if you are submitting large seeds, three seeds is fine, if its a small seed, 15 or more seeds are expected. Send 50 bags of the same seed and consider including another 50 bags of an additional type of seed. The best growers usually submit 3 or 4 different types of seed! You may combine different seeds in each bag, but make sure members can tell the seeds apart AND label accordingly.
In a separate baggy/envelope, include your shipping money and a pre-addressed label. This can be hand-written on a piece of paper (neatly) or printed from your computer. Make it large enough to go on the top of a box.
I will try to send your seeds priority mail, but need to wait and see what the volume of seeds looks like.
Shipping per box will be $8.00. You can send cash, money order or pay via paypal. No checks please.
If you want to use Paypal, send to: paypal.me\LTaylor516
US shipping only. Next year we may expand to International shipping.
PLEASE send your seeds to me by December 1. I worry about seeds getting lost/damaged during the Christmas rush.
Mail your seeds, payment and return shipping label to: Kreig Taylor, 745 Lakeview Dr. Collierville, TN. 38017
I understand some of you have been wonderful donors and some have just barely participated. Let's all send great seeds and fair quantities this year.

Let's make this the best year ever.

I am very excited about the EXOTIC SEED EXCHANGE this year. If you have questions, call me at 901-483-4851.
Sign up now!

Andy H do you know what your us postage usually is?

10/29/2018 10:41:44 AM

Brooklyn Corner, Nova Scotia

It's never very high from the states, but I would be happy to send you $15 U.S. to cover postage

10/29/2018 12:39:34 PM

Grittyville, WA

I would consider donating $50 to help get our European friends on board but the big issue there other than cost is confiscation and destruction?? Maybe folks can email you if they know of any helpful ins and outs. Its just great that its going and we all hope it will turn out good.

10/29/2018 2:07:41 PM

Grittyville, WA

Thanks TNo! Ps I for one dont mind if someone out there wants to throw in some boring vegetable seeds if theyre unique or exceptional in some way. The reality is I dont have space for fifty exotic plants even though thats the fun part. I wont cry one bit if someone sends in good seeds you should run it by TNo first though.
Like, the peppermint celery was a good one in between exotic and edible. The seed was from 2016 or 2017. I will post a pic of it.

10/29/2018 3:03:01 PM

Guelph, Ontario

Can Canadians be part of this, with extra postage ?

10/29/2018 5:54:13 PM

Hot West Tennessee

That will work Andy H .

11/3/2018 11:30:35 AM

Hot West Tennessee

Yep good old customs.

11/3/2018 11:31:45 AM

Hot West Tennessee

irischap Andy is sending $15.00 that would be fine. Looks like International Priority is 24.95?

11/3/2018 11:37:10 AM

Hot West Tennessee

Looks like we may get in under 30 this year?

11/3/2018 11:39:01 AM

Grittyville, WA

I’m fine with with it being smaller but wish we could get some new growers involved, folks who have an interesting heirloom seed that performs well or people who just know of a varietal seed that they think everyone else should try... Then it’s not just about sharing seeds it’s about sharing knowledge too. Maybe the culture of family heirlooms is gone.

11/3/2018 1:54:43 PM

Brooklyn Corner, Nova Scotia

Thanks TN. If you can, let me know what the postage will be I will send you that amount via paypal. If it's $15 or under, disregard.

11/3/2018 2:04:05 PM

Grittyville, WA

I found a few seeds I thought you all might like. So ten packs of seeds from me. If there are fewer growers it will mean I can send larger quantities.

Ps don’t make the mistake I made last year... I could have done priority shipping cheaper than standard. The cushioned bags are the cheapest about $7.25 to ship anything anywhere in the US and enough volume they should hold 50 (or 30) packs of seeds. I got 100 ct small plastic zip bags for about $4 at Michaels which is an art/hobby store.

Walmart or Amazon or Uline may have small small plastic bags or envelopes just FYI.

11/3/2018 2:18:21 PM

Awesome LindaT. I was part of the previous seed exchange that Phil and his wife had.
I read up in the thread where someone stated it was ok to mix multiple seeds in the same bag. I received those in the past and some seeds especially exotic seeds where not what they where marked as.
Just a suggestion to participants please mark clearly the seeds and make sure they are as pure as possible.

LindaT thank you for letting me participate again this year. Tim

Kreig and Linda,
I grew over 3000 gourds this year and have seeds from the best 75 for the seed exchange. I choose them based on shape, color and how unique they are. We keep them on display until after Thanksgiving - you can see some from tv coverage at http://bit.ly/2Aznohz . I will send out in about a week but want to make sure they are dry before I package them.
Thanks for doing the exchange - it must be a great deal of work.
