Seeds I have to trade:
i have a lot of:
arugula -roquette -common
wild arugula - sylvetta
red kale
green kale
red cabbage
walking onions- from last year but i think they are still good ~plus i have some very small ones i could pull from a pot, and the older ones are starting to flower.
wild onions - locally wildcrafted
mixed peppers, from the four varieties i grew last year.
small very hot peppers from last year.
yellow guava
papaya\- solo
a gourd for decorating or making things with
^^^^^these are all from my friend in hawaii
i have a little bit of:
broccoli- waltham
cilantro
delicata squash -sugarloaf
blue flax
dill
beets- red ace
beets- red
red poppies, from last year
lemon seeds, fresh from my lemon tree. could send whole lemon for seeds or put the seeds in a tiny jar of water\- lemon seeds must not dry out. have sprouted about fourty of these recently \=) by soaking them immediately and then sprouting them. took quite a while but now they are going strong. i dont know the kind, bought from a nusery, produces lots of sweet yummy lemons.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
tobacco\- 2 kinds\- cuban and an unknown, sprouted a LOT of these recently
and a huge amount of:
mixed kale and brassicas
(bad labelling \= they got mixed)
red kale, green kale, three kinds of cabbage\- red, copenhagen and a green cabbage, with a little broccoli mixed.
well sorry i dont always label very well (trying to break this habit and getting better from learning the hard way)or the precise variety. i grow a lot of anonymous plants, and dont keep track of varieties much.
i get seeds from different sources, catalogs, friends, and i love to wildcraft and forage.
i've tested most of these out and they are good. except for the newest additions to my collection which i am sprouting right now, but should all be viable.
also the wild arugula seed (so tiny!) is difficult to start, didnt get a great return on the seeds, but some sprouted. i read this is common, unlike roquette arugula.
theres more i could add, and i just recently stocked up with a lot of seed.... i am waiting for in the mail soon...
plus my winter garden is all turned to seed. a few more weeks to let them really finish up and i will be harvesting the seeds.
will soon have:
arugula\- roquette
red kale
red poppies
walking onions
red cabbage
a few varieties of hibiscus
malva/mallow
yellow hanging tomatoes
spagetti squash
bought some more nasturtiums, different colors
Seeds I am looking for:
\-i will grow almost anything thats edible. at least try! coastal california can be colder than you might think, this is zone 9, but it really isnt. have a small greenhouse like area \=)
\-love edible flowers, fruit that can produce here, and i grow a lot of veggies. like wild plants too, especially edibles.
what i have been recently searching for, just ordered some of these, would like more:
hibiscus
hollyhocks
other mallows
tomatilo/groundcherries
cherry
plums
passionflower/passionfruit
wild grapes
grapes of any kind
cold hardy short season melon
fruit that will grow here
hazel nut
\-or other kinds of nut.
miners lettuce
mizuna
other greens/lettuce
onions\- any kind/red
yellow tomatoes, small tomatoes
snow peas, sugar snap peas, edible peas
kiwis, have some going...maybe like another kind? and to make sure i have a male (?hoping i do?)
\-would be interested in a lot more than that. will try to grow any squash, melon, veggie or fruit that will make it here.
Plants I have to trade:
i could have some nice cuttings to trade. if someone were interested i could take some fresh cuttings to send. it would be a bit difficult, but i think i could get them there.
what i could cut from my garden:
elderberry, native\- blue black berries
thimbleberry, native
fuschia
all grown from cuttings\-locally wildcrafted a few years ago, now huge bushes \=)
passionflower, incarnata.... i think? found wild\- or probably escaped from cultivation.
theres more too, but thats more than enough for now \=)
