Hi! I do all my growing in containers on a paved patio. :) I have five freshly harvested, organically grown chives seeds from my chive plant. Had no clue who to send them to till now. :) Have African blue basil seeds (saved from my garden)to share too. Despite many claims of African blue basil not being able to set seed, it sets seed fine in my tropical climate. I think it needs constant high humidity and a long warm season to set seed. LMK if you want Hawaiian basil (similar to Thai basil) seeds; they will be ready in about a week and I can include a small amount of those if you want to wait. :) Also have dwarf blue kale seeds. This does great in containers, and may be kept alive a long time for cut-and-come again harvesting. A real prolific plant. :) Beets do well in containers that are at least 10" deep, and if grown in shallower containers their greens may be used identically to chard. Want some beet seeds? Finally, seeds of a Filipino mini eggplant that is similar to 'Bambino'. Small fruited, compact & well suited to containers. I am interested in your bianca borage, sweet pea old spice mix, and browallia. Please reply by email, thanks!

Wow, Melanie, I just got my Parks seed catalogue! My order is going out tomorrow..... I am interested in your Moses in the cradle seeds. Maybe some others on your "have" list, if you can find anything on my list that you would like. Sherrie

I grow mine under the benches in my tropical greenhouse. This plant is commonly called the brazilian firework plant or the rose pinecone flower. Expected height should be about 8"-10" and just as wide and makes a terrific houseplant.As was previously stated, this plant flourishes in warmth and shade, and is in fact one of the better plants for a north or east window. Make sure to feed once a month ( I use a Mixture of fish emulsion and guano) and keep moist all year. Do not fertilize during winter months as our sunshine levels are too low to produce abundant growth. Although I have grown this plant outside during the summer months, it is so pretty as a pot plant that I now always keep them potted.

I thought I'd post the list again. I know I missed someone either sending or receiving. Please double check your name and let me know if I made a mistake.
