Hi, I'm Laura and looking for seeds, needless to say. : ) I have garlic, not seed, but can mail you all the bulbs you want. It came from my great-grandaddy's parents home place. We've never saved seed, no need to. It grows, divides and spreads all on it's own. It will die back during the hottest part of summer and again in winter. We mow over it and then it starts coming back. I have no idea of the variety but am planning to find out this spring when it blooms, hopefully. I also just requested tomato seeds from WinterSown.com and will get them in 3 or 4 weeks and would be willing to trade some of those. I won't know for sure which varieties until they get here though. Anyway, if you are interested, I need: broccoli, carrots, radish, spinach, eggplant, crook neck yellow squash (have excellent old family recipe for pickled squash might be willing to swap for : ), asparagus, onions, potatoes, lady cream peas, kale, several types of leaf lettuce, mustard greens, sweet corn sweet basil, holy basil, cilantro, oregano, sage, dill, fennel, rosemary flowers bees like I live in zone 8 so it's very hot and humid, so prefer varieties that do well in those conditions. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks and happy planting, Laura ltaylor8691@gmail.com

I have grown that very onion for several years. In fact, last year I had such a good harvest that I was able to send stock to several people from this forum. I have never been overly impressed with it, but it is a curiosity, and something people seem to be interested in. I plant the bulbs in the fall for a midsummer harvest, I have not left them in the ground as I would expect they would degrade and go "grassy" like garlic left in the ground will. The onion that I was referring to is a scallion or bunching type that has formed quite a nice patch where I can pull as many as I need. They also bloom and produce viable seed. This is a variety that I planted from seed a number of years ago, and no longer have record or recollection of the name. Steve

Do any of you folks have any garlic and onions ( multiplier or what do you have) to offer for trade for some perennial plants? Really would like gardeners advice on the best garlic they grow and how hardy they are. I am in zone 5a. Illinois. Thanks, hope some one has some extras from their 2013 harvest. Trying my hand on growing something I can eat beside the tomatoes I grow.
