Please count me in for purchase. This is my first year for heirlooms so I don't have anything to offer other than Brandywine Suddeth and Amish Paste seeds (everyone already has those). I love hot peppers, I have some leftover Jalapeno and Habanero seeds I purchased from Heirloom Acres earlier this year to offer in exchange...but as they aren't marked heirloom, I don't know if they are or not. Thank you!

I have neither and would love both, so you are moooost welcome!!

I'll be sending in some pepper seeds cultivated in South Africa, so you have a balance of trade already!

Hi everyone,

A quick note about wish lists. If you are maintaining your wish list on some sort of electronic document, feel free to just email me that attachment if it's easier for you. If you don't have a wish list, but you are maintain a "have" list of your tomatoes and/or peppers, feel free to send that to me by email attachment for reference as well. I'll do my best to try and find varieties that you do not already have.

Most people just slip their lists in the envelope with their seeds, but if you have entensive lists and prefer to send me information electronically, that works for me too.

We're up to 86 participants so far. I'll be accepting signups until the middle of October. The more the merrier. If you're still lurking and haven't decided...come on in and join the fun

Wow, this is running nicely and chances are great that we'll have over a hundred people having fun come October ~

Can't wait!

Welcome back from your hols, Heather. Hope you have lots of energy for this swap, eh?

RJ_Hythloday · September 6, 2009

I'd like to participate, but haven't joined in earlier as I don't have a lot to offer. I'm saving seed from Rutgers right now, and will save seed from Vinson Watts and Marrianna's Peace when I get some nice toms. (didn't save seed earlier from splits due to heavy rains).

I purchase cover crops like sweet clover,mammoth red clover, and hairy vetch in bulk. Could I include some of those?

I have a sweet chocolate pepper that is OP if I get some fruits soon.

I also have extra hybrid sweet and hot pepper seeds if it's ok to include hybrid that are clearly marked.

I'm over wintering peppers and hope to eventually stop starting new peppers from seed except for the ocassional new variety.

I'll be limited to what I can harvest during this month. my growing season goes till mid November.

hmacdona · September 6, 2009

Thanks Huntsman. I'm all revved up and ready to go. I really hope we get to a 100 this year. I'm pretty confident we will as well.

Hi RJ Hythloday, we'd love to have you join us. I'm sending you a private message with a few more details. We're sticking with only tomato and pepper seeds for this swap. (unless someone is sending is something to give away as bonuses).

Thanks....Heather

Yep, sounds good. I'm intersted in some of those egg plants, I'll make a note of it in the wish list.

hmacdona · September 6, 2009

Great. I've noted your "eggplant" wish on my records.

Thanks so much....Heather

guruofgardens · September 7, 2009

I'd love to send what I save. Very late season so I will send them when they're ready. Right now I have Black Sea Man tomatoes saved and dried. I'd love to try a few eggplant seeds, too.

We're almost to 100!

hmacdona · September 7, 2009
