Welcome aboard everyone. We're up to 70 participants...what a great showing so far.

ScottinAtlanta, by all means, please send in the seeds you mention. Please label them with the middle eastern name. Someone may very well be able to translate. I just ask that you don't send in seeds that do not have a name (an unknown variety). I realize you may not have the english name, but if at all possible to write a bit of a description on the envelope describing the tomato or pepper as best you can, that would be very helpful to whomever receives the seed packets. Let me know if have further questions.

Understood.

Where there are no names - the Iraqi tomato packet says simply Tomato Seeds in Arabic - I have been using an English name when I circulate them, in that case, Babylon. The Far East seeds mostly have an English name - such as Caribo - that is not on Tania's database, and I use those names wherever they appear.

Hi everyone,

As promised, here is a list of highly sought after varieties from last years exchange. The names that appear on this list appeared frequently on wish lists, and in most cases we didn't have enough of that type to filll the wish list. Please keep in mind that there are hundreds of other types of seeds on wish lists. This list only includes those that appeared at a higher frequency level.

I will post a list of seeds that we tend to get way too much of or frequently appear on "do not want" lists shortly. Still working on that.

Me again,

Here's a list of seeds we tend to get way too much of, or that frequently appear on "do not want" lists. The intention is not to restrict you from sending these seeds in. I realize there are a lot of newer participants that are just starting out and only have these types of seeds to share. By all means, send them in. We'll make sure you'll get some new varieties in return. This posting is made at the request of a number of participants that have asked for this info, in particular those that have lots of seeds to choose from, to help guide them a bit. Here goes:

TOMATOES

Brandywine regular
Green zebra
Large red cherry
Marglobe
Regular beefsteak (simply marked as beefsteak)
roma (regular)
Rutgers
Small red cherry
yellow pear

• A note on cherry tomatoes, we do tend to get a lot of cherry tomato seeds in. A number of members send in quite a few cherry tomatoes but indicate that they do not want cherry tomatoes back. If you send in cherry tomato seeds in, you will very likely get some cherry tomato seeds back (different ones than you sent in of course). This is to be fair because of the volume of these types we receive. There are lots of cherry tomatoes that appear on wish lists. Just want you to be aware that if you send some in, plan on getting some new cherries in return 

PEPPERS

California wonder
Cayenne Red (any kind of red hot- large or small)
Habanero orange
Hot cherry
Jalapeno regular
Mixes of any kind

Hopefully this info is helpful to some. Thanks....Heather

Thanks for those lists Heather! I added some of the more sought after varieties to help out with other folks wish lists even though I didn't have a lot of them. Tried to stick with less common or unusual types . Very happy none of mine are on the do not want list lol!

Welcome aboard everyone. Have sent everyone that signed up a private message with more details. We're up to 88 participants and only a few days into this exchange. Great participation. And we have lots of new people joining us this year. You're going to have so much fun opening those surprise packages when you get them
