Seeds Exchange Anyone?

10 years ago

Hello Everyone, (7-24-2016)

I'm new in this community so please be patient with me.

I only exchange herb seeds and accept herb seeds. So please don't exchange vegetable or Flower seeds with me. This is only for the time being because I just started gardening. Please check out my Seed List. I'll be unable to send seeds by bubble wrap, only regular envelope inside with a plastic zip lock bag containing seeds.

I'll update this telling you that the seeds exchange is close.

Thank you.

    Hi, DBZ. I have some Japanese Red Shiso, Greek Oregano, and fresh Chives seeds. Red Shiso is a prolific self-seeder and its seeds can be used as a spice as well.

    Hope you know that African Blue Basil is a sterile hybrid and it's propagated by cuttings.

    Just a quick FYI....Post office puts letters thru rollers that seperate them to different zip codes and would smash that seeds that is why something needs put into envelope to keep it from pressing it completely flat.Some other options are small piece of Styrofoam,a Styrofoam peanut or even a penny. I learned this from a man I trade seeds with,I also worked at a bulk mail center where mail is processed before it goes out to post offices to get delivered mail is really treated rough! I have not officially joined this seed exchange but have been reading everyone's info.. A lot of Herbs I plant I just buy them from the spice section at grocery you can buy organic ones too at some stores. Jars of Coriander/Cilantro,Celery Seed, Flax and more it is alot more cost effective than buying just a few seeds at a time. I also let some of my plants go to seed and harvest them myself,so I always have fresh batches of seeds to start over with and give to people or a few local pre schools to teach the kids about growing plants that they can eat along with flowers that are good to grow with edibles that keep pests at bay. I plant a lot of flowers for bees,moths,butterflies and many birds without these pollinators nothing will grow. The kids love this information and participation.Even if it is just starting with a little dirt in a plastic cup,it is fun for me to see their excitement when something begins to bloom and then form a veggie or goes to seed. I started a pineapple over 18 mos. ago and it has 2new ones growing from it. I am really proud and excited especially cause I live in the Arizona desert.

    DBZ, sent you a message.

    Agreed about protecting seeds. Without bubble wrap I get crashed seeds guaranteed. Also, my post office charges parcel prices if an envelope is uneven. Can be quite tricky.

    Agreed with linywiny, herbs can be obtained from grocery stores. French Tarragon, Rosemary, Lemon Grass, Thyme, Epazote, and some others can be grown from fresh cuttings from a store. Ethnic grocery stores are a good source of all kinds of seed. Good luck!
