I love swapping seeds with other plant nerds around the world.
The number in the listing indicates the year the seeds were grown, or my best guess. Seeds are either grown by me, or surplus I've bought or traded- sources are indicated. Quantity is limited for most varieties unless I have a lot.
For trades, I am mainly interested in uncommon perennial vegetables hardy to zone 7 at least, but I may also be interested in annuals of interesting vegetables, culinary and medicinal herbs, or flowers. See my wishlist below.
Note- not all plants on this list are edible, but most are.
Send me an email if you'd like to inquire about swapping.
