Heritage Seed Swap

[orloff]

Would anyone participate in this if it was started? Must be a heritage variety meaning

a country's or area's history and historical buildings and sites that are considered to be of interest and value to present generations (http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/heritage.html)

Many heritage things are here: http://www.sandhillpreservation.com/catalog/seed_menu.html

I would I have a ton of seeds from Baker Creek that didn't get planted. but Heritage may be too restrictive.

I'd love to participate in a seed swap- I've got a small amount of seeds from a lot of varieties- not sure if "heritage" would apply to all-- but they are all open-pollinated/ heirloom/ non- hybrid seed varieties- if that would work! (ie- types that can be saved from year to year and reproduce the same)

What about a organic only seed swap? MUST be organic.

The word organic seems to have different meanings to different people. I don't use chemicals in my garden- so I consider it organic. I don't have anyone's seal of approval, and probably can't prove it- it's just something I practice.

I may list what I've got to trade in my own thread, and see what others have in trade for mine- might work well that way.

Just because you use no chemicals in your garden means organic. To me it has to be from organic seeds in natural soils.

I am getting rid of any seeds I have right now that are not organic and replacing them.

What do you want to get rid of?

Corn, Beans, Peas, everything you would grow in a normal garden. I am only trading them for organic things.
