Share the Seed: How a Seed Swap Works

I remember the first time I began swapping seeds with other seed-junkies in 1999, using a then obscure method of communication known as the internet. Back then, most of the people I knew did not have or even know what email was. Finding a group of people who loved to trade and talk seed was like finding a long-lost friend. I was instantly hooked, both with seed swapping and the internet! It didn’t take long before I began hosting large online seed swaps, better known in the seed swap community as a Round Robin. My first Round Robin swap had around 40 participants. Many years later and I am once again hosting a seed swap. This article began as a brief response to questions posed to me by people who wanted to attend the swap, but who had never been to one before.
