Interesting how different plants behave in different parts of the country/world. In my garden, I have not seen a single seedling from S. 'Fireworks' or E. 'Gateway' in the 10+ years I've grown them. I am getting ready to plant S. 'Little Lemon' if the hot weather ever lets up, but I am not overly worried about it spreading invasively by seed.

Adam, Thanks for your response and interest in acquiring some of these plants. I will bring a flat of 18 along and you can take what you want if no one else shows any interest in them. I will bring more if I get more responses to this thread. I will "hold" at least six of the best for you at the exchange for a while to give you a chance to find them - let me know if you would like more than that. I am not expecting one-for-one trades for these plants because folks should be growing multiple strawberry plants - who wants to have only one or two ripe strawberries at a time to pick and eat? That's barely enough for using in a single bowl of cereal! I am not looking for any plants in particular to acquire in trade, and to avoid confusion or mistakes on my end I want to avoid making "side agreements" to the exchange. I am certain I will find plants of interest to me - I always have at past exchanges I have attended. If you do not have anything that interests me, you can have the strawberry plants anyway. I would rather not have to haul 'em back home. :) -Tom

There are several very active seed exchange and seed bank groups on Facebook, with instant real time messaging. Some have fun games, like Wednesday Wishes, Trading Tuesday, and Give & Take. Just search for seed vault, seed exchange, seed library, SASE, etc. Once you find and join one group, you'll get recommendations for other groups. I just discovered this seed trading place as well. https://www.globalseednetwork.org/
