Thanks for the idea Beno - there is a real shortage of vegetable seeds nationwide. If you have extra seeds to swap, list them here, then pm details with the reply.

I guess i’d better go first. Like i said in prior thread i don’t gots much to offer.
small numbers of Panama gold passionfruit seed, heirloom yellow cucumber (delish) and heirloom cherry tomato (2 varieties) seeds.
Will swap for kent and/or butternut pumpkin, silverbeet (prefer fordhook giant), Herbs or anything interesting that will grow in the sub tropics.

I have spare * rainbow silverbeet (mixed but mostly red and white with some yellow), * some mixed onion seeds (they come out some red some brown due to cross pollination weirdness but if anyone wants to try them ...) , * bronze fennel * spaghetti squash
Just small amounts but it's something at least

It was 3 weeks ago we went to the local "Seedy Saturday" event.
It is a place for all manor of gardening stuff, seed exchange, so on.. Sweetie got several packages of heritage green beans. I'm a black thumb, and we live in zone 2 growing season.. I got to talk to our neighbor who keeps honey bees. He keeps 20-30, maybe more hives.. Said I had not heard his big 300 magnum last summer and fall..... Having bees, you can imagine he usually has much trouble with bears... He said, I have a secret about that, stop over when you can.... OK... Now I'm interested..

“seedy saturday” hmm sounds like i'd probably be interested in that day no matter the outcome.
Looks like most have got their seeds sorted. that’s a good thing.
