If I don't bag or have a fairly reasonable assurance (like the first fruits of the first plant to bloom, or a mix of fruit from a single variety patch) that there isn't the likelihood of a cross, I won't trade the seed. I may save it and grow it out for myself...but nope, not trade it. I even warn that the not bagged seed is not bagged and if it wasn't, why not.

I prefer saving seed from more than one fruit, because I like having a fair amount of it. I prefer having at least 30 seeds of any variety and of course I like having some on hand to trade...
