This is on my "wants" list!! I would love to try some! If you can spare enough for a 4'x4' square (16 good plants) that would be awesome! If enough for two squares, even better! Please check my list, I have a pretty good variety of heirloom tomatoes and some other heirloom veggies, herbs, and tall zinnias that are great for cutting. Also, by "purple echinacea", do you mean traditional purple coneflower? I have that too... Lori Here is a link that might be useful: Vikingkirken's Trade List

The Cherokee Squaw Corn I'm growing has some variation in the size of kernels, though all are much larger and flatter than say, the corn one gets at the feed store. I'd say that it behaves a lot like flour corn when being ground. I'm pleased with how easy it is to shell and grind. After working with it, the contrast with Mesquakie is very noticeable. Mesquakie Indian corn has a lot more flint-like qualities. It even pops (poorly) when parched in the oven. When we lived in Hidalgo, Mexico my favorite corn for meal and grits was the really large kernel flour corn which one sometimes sees up here, sold as corn nuts. It came in either red or white. In Mexico they make it into hominy and use the kernels in a soup called Pozole. This flour corn was extremely easy to grind and we enjoyed it, both for grits and corn meal. So, I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from trying a flour corn. They are very nice. As an aside, let me tell you an anecdote on our life in Mexico. The first two years was characterized by frustration and hardship. We were grappling with the language and also with the environment. Our family suffered a good many illnesses until we adjusted to the new environment. After two years we were fluent. So the language problem was much relieved. Every six months to a year we'd go to Texas, for car parts and supplies, etc. While there, we'd stock up on some things we couldn't get in Mexico. Two items on our list were always grits and cornmeal. Mexico is the land of corn. But they hardly use cornmeal as we know it and grits are unheard of. So, we'd stock up and then ration until the next border trip. After 5 or 6 years in Mexico, I got to thinking about our love of these two items and the fact that we were surrounded by corn! That's how we learned to grind our own. We experimented! Suddenly we didn't need to ration these items! I often thought that this was taking adaptation to a new level! Blueflint, I'm going to try that recipe. It looks good! George

HI, I no longer have the german red strawberry tomato seeds, either of the corns, the onion or the bunching onion. sorry for not updating this sooner. I must not have checked the send e-mails to me box. Ug. I always forget that. I have updated my list, but I have since learned it is best to post that in the seeds trade list. Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I won't mess up again. Mary
