I live in Bowling Green, Kentucky. This year I am starting a couple of gardens, one at my house in the very small amount of yard I have and one at my Mom's house at in the country, where she has less of a yard and more of a field.

So I could use anything, from stuff that grows best in containers to stuff that grows best in a field.
I love violas, or violets as some call them. I am starting to collect a few plants of violas, and I aspire to one day create a new variety of viola, as soon as I figure out what I want it to look like.
I am starting to get into bulbs. Broken tulips really intrigue me. I spotted one at a house down the street, it was a pinkish red color and I loved it. I am trying to get up the guts to knock on the door and offer my first born for a couple of the bulbs.

At the moment I am addicted to any variety of any plant called giants of California. I am working on seeds for petunias and zinnas and haven't found anything else yet, but if you know of anything, even if you don't have any, let me know that it exists.

I am also on the anything heirloom is awesome bandwagon.
Right now I am almost open to anything on trade, because I don't have much. I am sure in a year or so I will only have the small whorled pogonia on my want list.
I am trying to get more to trade with, so more people want to trade with me.
In about a year I should have cuttings from my vanilla bean orchid and moth orchid ready, I don't think anyone wants to wait this long, but the more you know, the more you understand.

TRADING: I send all plant trades via priority mail, unless it is something really hardy or dormant. Please do the same for me. I send all seeds in bubble wrap. There is nothing worse than getting that pack of seeds you have wanted all year to find they have been pulverized to dust.

If you want to trade me just ask.

I live in: United States

My zone is: z6 ky
