Hello BP members!

Here is the Official exotic seed exchange sign up. I dont recall who started this but I have enjoyed it for quite some time, thank you all who have handled this in the past!

After talking to previous Exotic Seed Exchange people this is limited to North America only as seeds have been destroyed arriving in other countries, So sorry about that.

Whats the Exotic seed exchange? Read here

We also have a generous grower give us a seed from a pumpkin called Maverick, Thanks Travis!

Plus there is chatter of getting some awesome samples from some killer companies. Stay tuned!

Ok 3 sign ups so far, thank you!

Please put Exotic Seed Exchange in the subject bar so I don't lose it in other boxes.

Thx, EVandy!

Hopefully everyone will participate... I think people will follow through.
It would be nice to get it to expand a little beyond this core group though. I think there are some seed swapper groups online that we could link in to.

Thanks Gritty, thats not a bad Idea at all. I think last year as I recall there was 36 participants.

We are up to 9 sign ups as of today, keep those seeds coming!

I sent an email to sign up but didn't hear back. Can you let me know if I am one of the sign ups you received? I should have seeds packaged up in the next couple weeks. Thanks

Hi. I've sent a couple of emails but no response so I'm assuming they made it to your spam folder. Could you hit me back on email with details? thatsacall@gmail.com
Thanks!

BeeDub, I just replied, thanks for following up. We are now at 23 people joining, I've received one package but expect more to roll in after Thanksgiving. Thank you all!

Throwing this out there, Engagement is low as of today in the exchange. Anyone have some special seeds they aren't going to grow and can donate one to random person who is joining in the Exotic Seed Exchange? I plan to have my Daughter film my Son Randomly putting seeds in the bags while I am out of the room, then seal them up, put the shipping labels on and DONE! That will be filmed too by the way, total randomness and I will be excluded from that drawing of course

I wonder if people thought that the previous exotic seed exchange post was where to sign up,it seems like there was more entries on the previous one than on this post,so everyone please get signed up on this one if you haven't already!

A friend of mine will probably want in... I'll send another email soon once I figure that out. So will we be at 30 seed packs? More? Or less?
Ps Yeah with random goodies, its easy to seal the packs, shuffle them up, and lose track of where any bonus items are. Every pack will look the same.

I think I may be in your spam folder also, I have sent two emails. I did not realize seeds were being sent already. Please let me know I and will get them out. elitedig@yahoo.com.

Mine went to his spam folder as well.

Are we sending in 30 packs of each item? I am packing up seeds right now just wanted to triple check before I pack any more.

11/28/2022 5:40:20 AM

Grittyville, WA

I'm in favor of 30 because I have two sets of seeds done at that number. Is that the official number of packs to send in?

Little Kins, send in what you have and what you are generous to donate. All is appreciated. Thank you! I am hoping this weekend I can send a participant update and what we have as far as seeds so far. Fingers crossed, I do work full time and a father of 3 so if I am late please forgive me. Thank you all for participating!

11/28/2022 6:46:51 PM

Thx... yeah no worries take your time. I'll do another 30 packs tonight and then send em in.

Yes if interested please send them in. I've have talked to others who have ran this in the past, Most likely Seeds will ship out in February this year so you still have time.

Also one thing to add, That handsome seed named MAVRICK showed up and will be dropped into some ones seed pack randomly (my kids will pick the envelope while I am out the room) then I will seal all them up, stick on the shipping label and hopefully one of you can announce who got it. Best of luck!
