Seeds Saved at Home  2008

This seed exchange is now closed, check back in the fall of 2009

We can no longer send orders to the United States.
We hope website visitors from the US enjoy their visit nevertheless.

Remember that open pollinated(OP) seeds do not always give a plant exactly like the seed parent.
We have NOT done germination tests on all. Some seeds are in small quantities.
