You might want to also post what you are looking for in trade in your post, or better yet, on your Member Trade List.

Happy Trading!

I am interested in your angled luffa and bitter melon. What type of tomato is that?

What are you looking for? I have yard-long bean, shark-fin melon, winter melon and others.

Erik

Sue

Sue

Wendy

I'm interested in your Luffa seed. I have a variety of flowers to trade. Please let me know if you're interested.

Is Chinese Pok choi a plant that can survive hot Florida summers? When am I supposed to plant it, in zone 9-10 if I get some seeds from you?

Chinese Pokchoi - qingjiang type could be planted yearlong at zone 9-10. Chinese cabbage aka baichoi has to be grown under low temp, it bolt if the heat is high.
Please see my list for exchange.

thanks
Wendy

Tomato seed need the basic requirment below:
Use seed starting mix,dampped by warm water
Plant your seeds about 1/8 inch (3 mm) deep. Firm the mix lightly to ensure that the seed is in direct contact with the moist mix. The seed needs to absorb moisture during the germination process.
The optimum temperature range of 70 to 80F (21 to 27C).
Germination is delayed by lower temperatures and accelerated by higher temperatures.
Temperatures below 50F (10C) or above 95F (35C) are detrimental to germination
The germination needs 5-10 days.
I had over 30 tomato seedlings from my seeds and they are 3" tall already

I have 180 tomato plant's started this year....i know all about planting & caring for the seed's. These are the only seed's of all of them that will not germinate. I have tried everything, i even started over to insure that i had not done something wrong and still none of them germinated. so now i have planted 32 total and still....nothing!

Melisa

Melisa, that's sound very bad. I know the longevity of tomato seeds is 4-5 years. My seeds I got are less than 3 years. I tried seeds myself first before sending out.
How about to wait a few more days, if still no luck, let me know I can send you some other tomatoes seeds, roma paste or sweet cherry if you interested. Or return you the cilantro and dill.

Wendy:
Already have the Loofa seeds but wondering in Z6 when to plant outside directly into soil (no pre-starts)??; our weather is now above freezing near Lake Erie. Thanks for the info.

Hi, Ginny
For sure, you can do directly seeds into soil. Soak the seeds first.
For me, I like to see them grow out of small pot. Also, due to the long growing time for Luffa, about 130-180 days, I'd like to make sure I will get sponge before the fall frost killed the vine.
I started my seeds about 4 weeks ago. I am going to transplant around mid of May.

I had 4 plant last year and they covered all my top of garage. Maybe 20 feet long. lots of fruit. The flower is very pretty. I had 8 seedlings this year and I will see how they grow on my chain link.

Good Luck

Wendy
