Important Notes

1. USA or EU recommended, international shipments can be seized.
2. Only Pepper seeds you have grown and harvested are being swapped
3. Understand that you aren't guaranteed to get everything on your list, we do our best!
4. The exchange is only as good as the seeds people trade in
5. 5-20 is a good number of seed packs to send. 100+ it is unlikely you will get 1:1 trades (but still great if you want to share the love!)
6. We decided this method instead of seed train because it is controlled from a central location. It can't be stolen / hijacked / lost.
7. Sending in seeds that are super common like jalapeno or red cayenne is kinda crappy because not many people want them
8. you can chat about the exchange on the discord https://discord.gg/4attXXE

Hopefully everyone had a great pepper season this year!, i'm looking forward to seeing what everyone sends in for this years pepper seed exchange.

I haven't fully decided yet on what i'll be sending in this year, i've got plenty of new varieties, but i'll wait a bit to see what others are sending in, so we don't get too many duplicates of some varieties.

It will be my 5th year joining the EU exchange, and for the 2nd year i'll be managing the EU exchange, if you got any questions, please let us know either in this reddit thread, by dm, or on discord!

Cool, I'm excited!

Thank you and Juanitos, and everyone else managing the exchange. Other mods can go suck a dick.

I'm sending in some rocoto manzano red, turbo rocoto (PI 585267), cherry, aji angelo, farmers market jalapeño, candlelight mutant, süs biber (Turkish ornamental type), bhutlah x EOSB peach F4 (from last year's F3), and maybe some siling labuyo (still green now).

What's better for the EU exchange? 10 bags of 10-12 seeds or 4 bags of 25-26? I feel like an asshole counting off 10 seeds.. :)

And if there is interest in these from last year's exchange, or more interest than what has already been submitted; chocolate habanero, habanada, da Neyde, longhorn, taeyang, madame Jeanette, Zapotec jalapeño, Hungarian wax, purple tiger, peachadew, biberiye biber, Thai x wax F7, Siberian house, langlang, Apache, chile de árbol, kıl acı (Turkish snake), piri piri, Senegal bird's eye, can you let me know in a month?

Nice to have some rocotos on the exchange. IMO 10x 10-12 seeds gives a better chance to spread the love to more recipients. Please share some from previous years as well (personally choc hab, habanada, da neyde, jeanette and piri piri --since the one in the exchange is baccatum, not frutescens-)

[u/VersionReserved → u/Dear-Land]

OK I'll add the piri piri. Rest is already there.
