Hello there! I love gardening and just discovered this site. Was wondering if anyone out there would like to trade vegetable/flower seeds with a Canadian gardener? I grow quite a few different flowers and tomatoes especially.
Let me know if you are interested.

Hello and welcome to the vine Manicorganic.

My uncle lived in the Rocky Mountains (Yukon territory) and used to show me pictures of some of the gorgeous flowers that grow there. I would love to have a go at seed swapping if you tell me something you fancy then I will send some - if they get there it is a success and if they don't at least we tried!

Hi Shirlthe girl.
I trade seeds with american and canadian without any problems at all.
Just get a customs decleration form and put on seeds and you will have no problem. I always use a jiffy bag so they don't get damaged.

Hi manicorganic and welcome. Any chance you could post your comfrey ointment recipe in The Herb Bed?

Good to have you on board.
