Welcome to the forum, and to seed saving... I think you'll find, as I do, that it can become a bit of a "problem", lol. I do believe my boyfriend is planning an intervention for me any day now. For the seeds I believe the standard count is 24 per trade unless it is something particularly rare, in which case it is 5. You can always trade smaller quantities but simply have to state so (i.e. "half pack" or whatever. Also use your commonsense... I tend to put more of things where the whole plant IS the veggie (such as beets, carrots, lettuce, etc.) as opposed to "renewable" plants that keep producing, like toms, cukes, squash etc. I do believe I can help you out in the beet and carrot department, I have several varieties of each including an awesome round carrot variety I loved last year (though no differently colored carrots I'm afraid). I also have several heirloom vegetables. Check out my list. Let me know if you'd like to set up a trade, wouldn't mind some Mortgage Lifter, Hungarian-Italian Paste, Fortin's Family. The latter especially... are you a fellow Quebecer? I ask because the breed was originally preserved by a Quebec family (and I see that you're 5a, and I'm in Mtl and am 5a too). Also let me know when you find out about those flower seeds, I could be interested.

You have mail.
