Would like to trade for your columbine; have heirloom tomatoes - can I send you my list? Doreen.

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

I also have not received any seeds. I've seen no effort on Olivia's part to contact me. For what it is worth, I have participated in quite a few swaps within this community before and have always found them worth taking the chance...sometimes fantastically so. However, I walked into the swaps recognizing that it IS taking a chance, especially if someone is a first-timer at facilitating a swap, as in this case apparently. I don't plan to stop participating in swaps in the future, but find it wise to gamble no more than I can afford to lose.

While it's mostly tomatoes (some years it's 1,000+ varieties) and peppers (usually 100+ varieties), there sometimes can be a large variety of flowers. I didn't get to digging a bed for zinnias this year, so I still may have a small supply of about 100 varieties that didn't get planted. There should be one to two dozen sunflower varieties, as many people did a Ukrainian theme in their gardens for this year. After that, it's unknown until packages start coming in, or participants start listing (at the link), what they are sending in. I've listed this swap over at the Growing Tomatoes forum. The first to join has a lot of flower seed, but it's currently unknown what the seeds are. Tomorrow it's supposed to rain, here. So, instead of working in the garden, I'l be doing a flower, kale, etc... inventory of what's left from last year's swap.
