Swap Me Seeds?

Hey guys, I only have a tiny little garden, so the seed packets contain far more seeds than I ever actually need. I was thinking that perhaps I could trade some of these leftover seeds for some other seeds that I need this season to save some money. (I'm just starting out and have no saved seeds yet, so it's been super pricey this year!) BTW, these are all from this year, so germination should be good still.

Here's what I have that I'm ready to trade: (I will update as I use the seeds I need and have some leftover)
CA Wonder Red Sweet Bell Peppers, 26 seeds, certified organic
Kleopatra Cherry Tomatoes
Golden Jubilee Tomato, 148 seeds
Burpee Sweet Basil Organic
Green Arrow Peas, 15 seeds
Yatzy Peppers
Spanish Padron Peppers
Thai Sun Peppers
Tasmanian Chocolate Dwarf Tomatoes
Amos Coli (???)
Thai Duo peppers
Egg Yolk Tomatoes
Burpee Green Sprouting Calabrese Broccoli Organic

Seeds I'm Looking For, Organic Only Please: (especially unique varieties!)
Carrots
Celery
Cilantro
Cucumber
Sugar Snap Peas
Pumpkin
Spinach
Mung Beans for sprouting

Easy way to get some of your seeds cheap
Go to an Asian grocery and buy whole mung beans in a bag. If they are reasonably fresh, they will sprout
Pumpkin seeds, save them from a pumpkin you buy to eat
Beans seeds dry beans at store

yes very interested! But first, some questions.

First, what kind of chamomile?
And do you think I could grow nigellas in my zone? (5) I've never even heard of those but they look very pretty.
I see that you live in Canada, I've never sent seeds before, and I've never sent anything out of the US. How would we go about that? Could I just send them in a letter? Or will it be more complicated than that?

And I know you said to email you, which I will, but here are the ones I'm interested in:
chamomile, nigellas (if I can grow them here), candy lily, and aguilegia

Looking forward to it!

Hey :)

It's just regular chamomile. I think nigella would grow in your zone, its a pretty hardy flower. Seed exchange should be no problem. I can get yours ready to go this week or early next week! Please email me for address swapping!

Thanks,

Nice to connect with you!
