There are several very active seed exchange and seed bank groups on Facebook, with instant real time messaging. Some have fun games, like Wednesday Wishes, Trading Tuesday, and Give & Take. Just search for seed vault, seed exchange, seed library, SASE, etc. Once you find and join one group, you'll get recommendations for other groups. I just discovered this seed trading place as well. https://www.globalseednetwork.org/

Bon & Christine - the bookmarks arrived at my place last week, thank you both so very much. Christine, I saw the postmark on your envelope was Dec 19 - it arrived here Jan 19! I can't believe it spent a month in transit. But your delightful bookmark was worth all the time it spent travelling here. Bon, I set both bookmarks/cards to display on my dining table for a few days, until I couldn't stand my husband stopping short and asking (yet again) what that bill was doing there. LOL It gave us both a chuckle.

Hi Cindy, My zone is 6 (some say 6B). I live in St. Louis, Missouri. Some of my varieties that have done well this year are ”black prince”, ”old brooks”, “san marzanos / romas”. I believe they are san marzanos due to the labeling - either way, they are insanely prolific. Loads of tomatoes). Also, my black cherry plants have more than delivered. I have hybrids as well but cant process/ferment the seeds to dry and store like i do for my heirlooms. i also have ”great white” seeds. We pulled an 11 ounce tomato (completely light yellow in color). Also, if you are curious about these or any of my others, i am happy to mail an envelope with a few trial seeds. Have a wonderful evening! Amanda
