Ever traded plant seeds?
« on: January 30, 2016, 11:48:25 am »
I recently found a site that matches up people who wanted to trade their plant seeds by mail or by a meeting place. Ever done this? I never knew there was a such thing as that. Nice way to meet people, stranger danger. Interesting day today, must look into seed swap events. Have a gr8 day  :present:

Sounds interesting.
Maybe a good way to keep non-GMO seeds common?

Seedsavers exchange has heirloom, non gmo seeds that they get from farmers and gardeners. 
They sell them though, so to me it's not really trading seeds. 

I save my seeds and pass them to my neighbors, or anyone else that wants them.

No, I have never traded plant seeds.  It is good news to know of a site that does trading of plant seeds.

No.  I don't buy seeds for stuff I won't plant.  And if I have extra I will give them to someone I know.
