The Plant Exchange

want: pretty much anything for zone 5 in trade for seeds or aspen cutt

9 years ago

We recently moved to a house and land on the high plains (zone 5) which has no landscaping and only a few willow and aspen trees, so I don't have many plants to trade at this time. Is there anyone willing to trade plants for seeds? I normally do trades of 15-20 seeds, so if you want more than that please let me know. I don't want anyone to feel like I've cheated them.

For record keeping I have just started using my Excel program. I have just up dated it to the point that I now use separate pages for those I have filled and those that need seeds and those I have requested seeds, etc. I found that for me the best addition I have started adding to the program is the Posted by: Hyperlink. These has allowed me to go directly back to that persons home page for more information, such as what they have to trade or their want list. I found they do not always state what the original request was. For me it is easier to check their site to have a better idea what their wants are and how to contact them later in case I run out of seeds but have fresh seeds later, etc. I post the date, name, hyperlink, email address, physical address, request and my response. Once the order has been filled I cut off that page and paste it onto my finished page. Cuts down on the confusion of having to check if I have filled their order, etc.
