Seed Sharing Protocol:
1. Do not share seeds of invasive species! If you are not sure you can go to https://plants.usda.gov/java/noxious?rptType=State&statefips=15
2. Do not share brassica seeds as spread of blackrot can happen, it is a seed-borne disease and many of the seed companies are having a problem with this.
3. Do not share old seeds as germination may be low.
4. label or bring a description of each of the seeds you share including date of harvest.
5. Bring your own seed envelopes or baggies and markers for labeling.
6. Do not bring seeds and put them on another seed-sharers table unless you have a very good description of the seeds/date and crop and permission of the person at the table.
