Here is what I have, with number of seeds I'd send you:

Concord grape (5) (In my understanding, these require several months of stratification)

Pineapple Ground Cherry (5)

Black Sea Man Tomato (5)

Cylindra Beets (up to 75)

Lemon Cucumber (5 or 10)

Baby butternut squash (5)

Calypso bean (5 or 10)

Snow White Cherry Tomato (5)

Tigger Melon (3)

Charentais/Charantais Melon (5)

Sage (5)

Peppermint (15)

Basil (5, 10, or 15)

Parsley (5)

Lavender (10)

I like interesting colored veggies and prefer open pollinated seed. I am especially interested in:

Purple pepper

Thumbellina carrot

Sweet yellow (hungarian) wax pepper or golden bell pepper

Aussi tomato

but I am open to anything.

Thank you for reading. This is my first time on the forum, so please let me know if I'm doing it wrong!

Hi Chris, I have quite a few tomatoes on my list, so I'm sure you'll find something you'd like. I would be interested in your carrots in tape, plus blood red, nutri-red, purple dragon; tall utah celery; and radishes in tape. You can chose two tomato varieties for the seed tape, since I know that is more expensive. Maria Here is a link that might be useful: my trade list

Update: I am out of lavender, but I think I still have everything else.

Can't believe my luck in getting my wants :-) Thanks for the awesome trades. If anyone still wants to trade, I am especially coveting Rainbow tomato, a tasty green cherry tomato, a tasty black cherry tomato, and a tasty ribbed/ ridged tomato.

I'm interested in your:
Black Sea Man Tomato (5)
Cylindra Beets (15 or so)
Baby butternut squash (5)
Calypso bean (10)
Charentais/Charantais Melon (5)
Sage (5)
Maybe the Peppermint (15), but only if commercial seeds. Peppermint doesn't come true from saved seed.

Please see my trade list- I have several OP veg. varieties and some OP herbs for trade.

Besides what is listed there, I also have a few "Yellow Belle" OP sweet pepper seeds and 5 seeds of a purple hot pepper called "explosive ember" that you might like.
