WANTED: Any type of herb/flower/vegetable seeds plse

17 years ago

Hi everyone....

We have just moved to this property and my 4 kids and I are excited about planting "up" our property...They want to plant a flower garden and a vegetable garden.

We are looking for:

Hibiscus seeds

Poppy seeds

Marigold seeds

Moonflower seeds

Angel trumpet seeds

Basically anything that is easy for the kids to plant and manintain.

As for vegetables, they already have peppers and tomatoes started, so anything else such as lima beans/brussels/peas/beans/acorn squash and the such would be great!!

Herbs, any kind would be fabulous. My daughter built a little greenhouse and has spent her allowance on little ceramic pots, so they would be perfect for a little herb window box.

And if anyone has any bulbs, such as canna, daylily or dahlia, that would be fabulous as well.

I will go through my seed box today and post my seeds I have available for trade.

Thanks to anyone that can be of help.

I have lots of flowers seeds from 2008 that I'm not going to grow this year. I'd be willing to give you them for a SASBE. I like to see them go to a good home where they'll be grown. Take a look at my trade list and see if any interest you.

Susan - my pumpkin is not Indian Doll. It is a variety I buy from Indian store and seed-harvest. As you can see in the pictures - it makes an elongated pumpkin in the garden ( my kids call it zumpkin). The vegetable inside is golden yellow ( not orange) and has a much milder sweetness. The rind/ skin is easier to peel as well. I just love the way it tastes and grows. I never fertilize or mound it but have noticed that the vines make fruit only when left on the ground rather than trellising them ( maybe they have more roots to draw their nutrition from). I do not know much about the cantaloupe variety except that the seeds have a high germination rate Yes I would also love to have radish seeds as well - never grown them before. You are welcome to pm me any time!

Hi Penny,
BTW, love that name!!!
Yes, I'm still looking for a variety of seeds to start out with.
Just came in from walking in my yard(i'm between North bay and sturgeon) and things are growing!!! I'm so glad, cant wait to start seeing green things again.
Please send me an email to trulyyours@rogers.com and we can go from there.
I dont have much to trade with right now, just basically some things that I caught in late fall and wanted some of the seeds(bergamont-indian blanketflower) and I have some seed packs that I got when White rose went under(not sure if they are still any good though).
Thank you

I have a bunch of extra seeds. You could send me a SABE and I can fill it with seeds. It is good to encourage kids in the garden. Eventually they grow up and don't want to help anymore.
