I will answer my own question: :)
Yes, I have swapped seeds with friends and family.
Tell us your funniest, weirdest, or most memorable seed swap story.
When they see me - they say " I have enough seeds from last time "
What seeds did you get that surprised you the most?
Lisianthus - they are hard to get in Canada.
I bought them from Amazon - and just 1 seed grew from two seed packets and the squirrels ate it. :twisted:
