I haven't been an active gardener since I moved to SC, so don't have any seeds for trade. While there are a few shrubs and trees around, I haven't collected any seeds nor rooted any shoots. I don't even know yet which seeds I would like, except I love cosmos pink and maroon.
However, I do have some Czech Easter Eggs called Kraslice I made two years ago. I have several dozen which need acrylic sealant/ shellac but wondered if trading is allowed? I have a photo of some I did many years ago--the new ones aren't as good--but will give you an idea if I can figure how to post the photo.
Here's a photo from the web, but mine are sometimes done with a series of color. Czech Easter Eggs
A Google search is best if you use "Kraslice eggs", but there are other decorating methods included such as wheat glued in designs, scratched designs in white on dyed eggs, and one where the wax remains on the egg instead of being removed after the egg is dyed.
Czech eggs are similar to Ukranian eggs, but are easier to do since they are done using pin and nail heads dipped into hot wax and applied to the egg with different movements. Commas and explanation points are the basic lines/forms used to make these eggs. Ukranian are done with a tiny funnel dipped into the wax and moved across the egg. I always get big blobs of wax, but that's what you start with on the Czech eggs!
If such trades are not allowed or if no one is interested, I can always beg or buy seeds I'd like. Hope someone will be interested.
Thanks. Ann1

Hi! Thanks for the positive feed-back. We were getting ready for a trip to FL, but changed our minds. I will reply privately to those who offered, but the eggs probably won't be finished until after 1 Jan.
I really don't need a lot of seeds but I've been seeing some I'd like to try. My green thumb probably stayed in MO with my father-in-laws collection of garden machines, but maybe we can reclaim a bed or two around this house without breaking our already aching backs!
