I just completed the first swap of the year, also run by Thomas Jones. I would like to know who has signed up for this swap. I think if most of the same people are going to be in the 2nd swap, they may not be interested in my seeds.

I too am wondering this. I was in the first swap and a different one that is just finishing up today. I have ordered new seeds that I can share if they come in time before the Early All Spring SWAP starts. I looked on the list (by clicking everyone on the full trade list) to see if there are new names and I see there are. Also, maybe someone will want something that we listed before that was bid on and they would like to see it in this next SWAP.

@maryjoz5 and @Browneyedsusan I have done all of the swaps over the last year or so and to me it is like going into an antique or thrift shop and each time you see things you overlooked or missed out on the first time. Even if I don't use all my dibs I always end up with some treasures I didn't have. Which of course make it all worth it.

I was in the swap that just ended, but I didn't get around to adding all the seeds I wanted to, so I'll be putting them on this one, in addition to alot of the same ones I grow. Also, I noticed I didn't get the green circle clicked on (managing my swap list), so those will be added as well.
I do hope you'll join in on the swap and hopefully find more you'd like to try. Besides that, it sure is fun!

Same here. I had a bunch of new strains to add but didn't have time and will be doing it in the next swap. There is always something new or missed in each swap which is why I participate in all of them. You never know what you will come across.

And here I am thinking I don't have enough now for this swap and that I might have to bail.... I have only 10 offers to post and that doesn't seem fair to the others in here... As I moved in the middle of the growing season, I didn't get to harvest all that much as I moved before much was harvested....

I get a charge when my seeds get wishlisted. It sends a clear message that someone is interested. Throw it on here and see if it sticks! You may be surprised.

@hammerojustice I sceond @stitchwitch put them on, I have more than enough to cover both of us. I also will be adding more before the swap because I need these to go out before the next seed harvest season starts. We don't want you to miss out on the fun.

I hope everyone joins us. One of the thoughts behind this swap was for folks to share items they were not going to plant this year. I just listed a bunch today. I am new to flowers I have a lot of lilies but I have not got to the point where I can share the seed. I have a lot of roses but old man winter killed them back to the ground. I have a Facebook page where a lot of my flowers are posted. It is roses and other shrubs r us. I have a lot of veggie seed and give a lot more than 10 seed. Please tell your friends so they can join us. I may put up the tickets to ten what do you folks think.
stop and smell the flowers

I think I'll have to pass on this one. I'm a fairly new gardener an new to seed saving so don't really have a lot of extra yet. Beings I was in the other two swaps this year that pretty much took up any extra I had.
You folks have fun an mayb I'll see u this fall!! 😊

Some of us that do several of the swaps also hold some seeds back on purpose so that not all the 'good' seeds are offered in just one swap. For instance, the first swap I offered my Swedish Red peas. They won't be available in this swap but something else will that wasn't in that swap.

Those of you thinking that you don't have enough seeds... I promise you do. We really just want you to join us and Please, Please, Please, take some of our seeds to grow your stash and your garden!

I'm sorry too, but must echo Hammer and leave this swap. I look forward to joining you all again some time in the future, and meanwhile wish everyone a pretty Spring with all the trimmings of green shoots and new beginnings.
