The Seed Exchange

seed trade - have herbs and veggies

15 years ago

Gee whiz I'm so envious of the scope of some of your gardens! I have a small second story apartment with east-facing windows and north-facing entry/stairs. At least I'm in Florida so shade might be okay to prevent scorching. I'm not completely new to gardening but am just beginning my own in containers - tons of baby basils and sage, tiny thyme seedlings and stragglers of oregano and chives. Also nasturtiums and luffa (still deciding where to put them). I have a lot of seeds leftover of these and some vegetable seeds which got pushed aside in favor of herbs. Most of the seeds are from last year. Stored them alright in a tin. Got 100% sprouting with basil.

I don't want the leftover seeds to go to waste and also would love to get a better variety so email me if you want to trade!

This is what I have:

luffa (09)

spinach "bloomsdale, longstanding"

turnip "purple top white globe"

beet "tall top early wonder"

dill "bouquet"

chives

garlic chives

common thyme

oregano

basil (sweet, genovese, purple ruffles, lime, siam queen)

sage

fennel

cumin

What I would like:

Other varieties of oregano, sage, thyme, parsley, other culinary herbs and spices. Fenugreek. More unusual herbs like what are not sold at large chain stores, especially medicinal. Calendula, Roman chamomile, borage, comfrey, angelica, wormwood, anise hyssop, sweet woodruff. Almost any edible flowers. Breadseed poppies, too. I'm fascinated by somniforums. Herbs which can tolerate shade or indoor growing would help. I do have a nice light set up for my little ones.

Thank you!

Hi Karly, Thanks for the interest and offer. From your home page I could not tell where you live but I would be very interested if i had a greenhouse to put them, but from what I read here in zone 5 they would be a container plant that I would have to move around. If you are growing them in a similar location as me please let me know. Thanks Again and Happy Growing! Erin

I'm interested in trading or sending an SASE. I'm just getting my feet wet with tomatoes this year. I'd love a few of all the varieties you have, especially Violet Jasper. From your list, I have Straight 8 pickling cucs and Sugar Baby Watermelons. I do have more seeds if you are interested, nothing particularly rare though. I also have an overload of fennel if you are interested.
