The Seed Exchange

WANTED: Seed Library Petition

9 years ago

Dear Seed Swappers,
There has been government agencies going after seed libraries treating them with the same laws that apply to seed selling vendors. This is ridiculous.
The next thing you know, they will be going after forums like this.
There is a petition to sign on the link. Please sign it, I did.
Thank you,
Remy

Send me an email. If you can, let me know the specific types of veggie/fruit they would be looking for. I host a large tomato/pepper swap along with a bean/pea/legume swap. There are always too many leftovers that need a new home. Gary

Hello! I noticed you were looking for some clematis seed. Not sure if you have found any or not (dont' come here often either), but will start!! Anyway I have the following: clematis Hagley c. alpina "Frances Rivis" c, "Miss Bateman" c.viticella albo luxurians c. petit faucon c. Nelly Mosier c. scarlet clematis(clematis texensis) There were several things I was very interested in from your list: Lobelia grape knee hi Shaggy masterwort helenium mardi gras and runinzwerg ligularis britt marie crawford thalictrum flavum ssp. glaucom rudbeckia maxima dumbo's ears I do have a few other clematis if you have found any of those or aren't interested. Also you could check my list(though No clematis are listed there) there are many other things. Thanks so much, Melinda PLMK.

There are several options for trading seeds by mail. In many gardening magazines, you will find classified ads where people post what they have or want, their address, and the terms (SASE, for example). Check your local library, newsstand or bookstore for issues. Call your local County Extension office and see if they know of a local organization that has a seed exchange program. Here in Olympia, we have a community-based organization that collects and distributes seeds. I googled Ã¢ÂÂseed exchange Spokane WAÃ¢ÂÂ and found a program called P.E.A.C.H. (People for Environmental Actions and Community Health) at your local Fresh Abundance Local & Organic Foods, located at 2015 N. Division Street. They had a seed exchange last February, and undoubtedly will have another next spring. But, by and large, GardenWeb has the largest seed exchange network I have found. The URL is http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/exseed/ Be sure to read the instructions for the exchange site. The imbedded 'Special Instructions' links don't work, so here is a link to that page: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/exseed/msg0521403931765.html?74 Tammy/bejoy2

Florida Petit where to buy seeds?
Q

It may no longer be available. You could contact the University of Florida and ask. They released it. be sure to spell it correctly "Florida Petite" Looking at the seed foundation page for Florida I'm not even sure they have found sellers for the other similar lines which probably "replaced" it like "Micro-Gemma" and "Micro-Tina" Here is a link that might be useful: UFL Tomato Germplasm Release
