HAVE: Garlic Bulbils, etc. Want Upland Rice, etc.

10 years ago

I have hundreds of German Extra Hardy garlic bulbils that have been in cold storage since fall planting and are still in very good condition. Would much prefer to trade them than throw away. Also have snap and dry bush beans, lots of other vegetable seeds, Jack in the Pulpit seeds, and tobacco varieties.

I am looking only for the following:
Any upland rice varieties.
Named tobacco varieties.
Anise (Pimpinella anisum).
Sausage tomato varieties.
Oxheart tomato varieties.
Hot and super hot pepper varieties.
Smaller sized non-bell sweet pepper varieties (Shishito, Melrose, etc.).
Minnesota 13 yellow dent corn, 200 seeds minimum*.
Glass Gem ornamental/flint corn, 200 seeds minimum*.
Any of the Strubbes dent corn varieties, 200 seeds minimum*.

* I am a seed saver. It is my understanding that a plot of 200 corn plants minimum are needed to avoid inbreeding depression.

Thanks,
-Tom

I am not sure if I have anything on my list you might like. If you could take a peek and see if we could make a trade happen. I lost most of my garlic this year and would love to replace it.

Tom-
I am a new gardener this year! 23 years young and I haven't any seeds to trade. I AM NOT BEGGING for free things, just curious if you would agree to giving me a few garlic bulbs if I mailed you an addressed and postage envelope? I see it labeled as SASE on this seed exchange. Please contact me at freekin_pony@yahoo.com if you are interested, Thank you for your time!

if you do a quick search of this forum, there are several threads about growing garlic bulbils and I've included a link to a thread where I've posted photo's of garlic I've grown from bulbils. There are links within the conversation to a couple of blogs and sites that have really useful information that was helpful when I first started growing bulbils. Bulbils are clones like the cloves, so can adapt to local growing conditions as per this paper http://www.garlicseedfoundation.info/HortSciGarlic809.pdf True garlic seed however are a whole different story :) http://garlicseed.blogspot.co.nz/p/growing-garlic-from-true-seed.html Here is a link that might be useful: my bulbil experiment

If you scroll up and read the second post, it comprehensively explains about growing bulbils. It wouldn't be advisable planting them in flats, there won't be enough depth for the roots to grow. Flats would also dry out too quickly, bulbils are very sensitive to lack of water and their growth will be checked if allowed to dry out too quickly. However, if you prefer to grow them in a container, ideally, allow at least 6" depth. I've had success in both containers and the open ground. The bulbils are useful sprinkled between rows of different varieties as dividers:) If you take a look around these sites, it may help you to identify the group that your hardneck belongs to - http://www.filareefarm.com/ps.html http://www.gourmetgarlicgardens.com/overview.htm This is a great blog with photos about growing bulbils http://goingtoseed.wordpress.com/2010/07/15/garlic-bulbil-harvest/ In the comments, there's a link to Snakeroot farm which explains about the effect of planting on times whether you get rounds or minature bulbs. I prefer rounds as they tend to yield larger, almost normal sized bulbs when you replant them the following year. The exception would be the rounds from porcelains which yields bulbs about 1 - 1 1/2" diameter. This post was edited by zqnmegan on Sun, Jul 28, 13 at 16:42

I go through a lot of tahini, but I use it mostly for hummus. However, I also make a Lemon Tahini Sauce that is fairly versatile: Tahini-Lemon Sauce 2/3 cup tahini 2/3 cup yogurt 1 clove garlic, crushed 1/3 cup lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons) 3 green onions, coarsely chopped 1/3 cup parsley, stems removed dash of salt 1/8 tsp cayenne (or less, to taste) 1/8 tsp paprika 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin Put all ingredients in a small food processor and combine until onions and parsley are finely minced. Store in the refrigerator. I make it for falafel, but I also use it as a dip and sometimes on cucumbers. I use garam masala a lot and usually mix it with Indian curry to make a garbanzo or lentil stew. I don't use too much because it is too sweet for me, but I like using it in small amounts and then add more of the other spices that I like better, like cumin, garlic, onion, ginger, etc to give the dish enough spice. I never follow a recipe for these stews. Lars Here is a link that might be useful: Uses for garam masala

I made this today and loved it! I'm not sure it still qualifies as "healthy" when you return to the pan for multiple servings though:). Recipe found on "Damn Declicious" blog. PS...I only had about 1/2 cup of quinoa on hand so used orzo for the other half and it was still delish. ONE PAN MEXICAN QUINOA Prep Time 10 minutes Cook Time 25 minutes Total Time 35 minutes Yield 4 servings Wonderfully light, healthy and nutritious. And it's so easy to make - even the quinoa is cooked right in the pan! INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 jalapenos, minced 1 cup quinoa 1 cup vegetable broth 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes 1 cup corn kernels 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/2 teaspoon cumin Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and diced Juice of 1 lime 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves INSTRUCTIONS Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and jalapeno, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in quinoa, vegetable broth, beans, tomatoes, corn, chili powder and cumin; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Stir in avocado, lime juice and cilantro. Serve immediately.

I regret terribly that I do not seem to have anything that you desire, since I would like to aquire some of the garlic you have. My much-loved step-dad of many years was a Minnesota German , and would truly love to plant some in his honor. The only things that I can think of is that I have many live oak sprouts that are about 10 to 12" tall to offer you. I also have Russian olive starts that are the same size. Please at least consider this request and offers.

LtlWilli - In your email to me you were requesting cloved bulbs. Once I clarified to you that I was offering bulbils which are the small "seed" clones produced on the scapes (flower stalks), you were no longer interested and withdrew your request. This is completely understandable to me because many garlic growers will not take the time to grow out bulbils because it takes several years to produce market-size cloved bulbs. I took no offense, I simply concluded that you are in that group based on our communications.

Unfortunately at this point all of the garlic bulbils are now claimed. I am working on several SASE offers and if any of those fall through then I will offer the bulbils to you for SASE.

The confusion surrounding this bulbil issue brings up a point I would like to make to anyone reading this and is new to growing garlic: Invest some time to do some research on the plant, how to grow it, how to identify disease issues, etc. Learn how and when to properly plant, harvest, cure and store it. If you do not know this stuff you will make mistakes which will likely lead to mediocre garlic or even complete failure. There are some great books out there but everything you would ever want to know about garlic is also available for free on the web. Anyone can grow garlic. You need to know what you are doing to grow great garlic.
