Neither.

1. All AEG members are on the Seedex list unless they specifically
request 'no seeds for this year'.

2. There is no 'list of available seeds'.

By the time the seeds arrive from down under,
those from the north are bursting to sprout. So we have no time to issue =a
list
and wait for people to choose. We also have no staff to do this or to
compile peoples choices.

The Seedex volunteers simply distribute the seeds in as fair a manner as =is
possible trying to get something interesting to everyone. We can tell fro=m
your collection inventory (assuming you keep it up-to-date) what might be
of interest to you.

The amount of work in doing a Seedex is enormous and only managable on
a volunteer basis by keeping it simple.
