I'll let you have some pineapple.  Perhaps you could chose a well behaved, medium heat chilli for me to try.

I haven't got many tomatoes growing and I think you all have my favourite black Icicle. I can save from that. I have a few others.
I also have quite a lot of old seed from the Tom circle - I did get rid of loads....but if anyone wants a certain variety or want to try growing one or two plants for saving seed I will dig them out.

I am happy to organise the swaps?
I can make up different bags for each of us if some aren't interested in some things etc.
I hate bagging up so if I only need to bag up 10 packs instead of 20 that will please me.
I have a few beans drying, black Icicle, black c, and quite a few flowers

SP - I had the same thing happen with my snap dragons!

As for numbers - tomatoes generally come and if you only save a handful of seed - 3 is generally enough? I would happily go for 1 if numbers are low. 5 or 6 is plenty, same for chillies.

So far, it's looking like I can contribute

Calendula "Sherbet Fizz"
Tomato "Yellow Pear"
Tomato "Blush"

Trying to save some beans as well, but nowhere close to anything drying out on the plants yet. I don't think I'll have any peas/mangetout at this rate. Can't figure out if my cosmos (Fizzy Rose Picotee) will come true to type. Same with my sweet peas (Purple Pimpernel, but a random red sweet pea plant appeared). More investigation needed.

I also have some other tomatoes (Marmande, Plum Roma, Gardener's Delight, Black Cherry, Violet Jasper - but the seeds have been saved with my usual lazy method of scraping onto paper towel. Happy to send some along if anyone wants them. I'm going to try to use the recommended seed saving method for the two I listed above.)

I don't think your flowers will come true - but I don't think that matters?

I had pink sweetpeas from a seed swap - mostly pink came, with a random burgundy and a few purple.
I saved cosmos - the magenta double click- I got mostly magenta and a few pink.
But crosses with flowers don't bother me?

Scraping into a paper towel is fine. Tomato seed is very forgiving.

I didn't think they would either and I don't want to disappoint any swappers. I'm happy to put them in if anyone is interested. Likewise, I'm happy to only send things I'm sure will come true.
