Sweet peas as in the non-edible flowering plans?

I think some Noir des Carmes came in late, and I know that Jewels of Opar will get into your package.

Is anyone interested in lemongrass seed?
I would be interested in the lemon grass. I'm learning to cook Thai food and finding lemon grass around here is a rare find.

Yes, the fragrant ones. Height doesn't matter.

Suggestions for seed saving this year...

Herbs - the more exotic or "rare" the better. There will always be a much higher demand for Mrs. Burn's Lemon basil, than Lemon basil.

Lettuce and other greens, especially Asian greens.

Peas - snap, snow, shelling in that order, with few requests for soup/dry peas.

Tomatoes - that super tasty unknown to just about everyone variety, 20 to 50 packs, if you're up to it, would go a long way in making the swap successful.

Unfortunately, I've had no time in the past year plus to even look at catalogs, paper and online, to order seeds. Maybe this upcoming winter.

Please add anything you might be looking for.
