Have you gotten seeds from tod65 in the past???

13 years ago

Hi All,

I don't know if you all are aware but he lost all his seeds in a fire and is looking for replacements of his heirlooms.

I know that he sent me and hundreds of others great seeds for sasbe, let's pull together and get him up and running again!!

Please post here OR on the seed exchange side if you think you can help him.

Lisa,
I have never gotten seeds from tod65 but Email me his address and I will send him everything that I was planning on sending for the New Years eve swap. I don't need anymore seeds for the time being and sounds like he could really use some now. I don't have time to make the list anyway right now. I have so much to do for the holidays. Fire is a horrible thing.

Thanks!

I never traded with him, but I can share some of my seeds. I
always get more than I need in case someone wants some.
What kind of seeds does he like?

Whats the oldest seed you've gotten to germinate?

My great grandpa saved some old melon seeds (watermelon and cantaloupe) probably over 20-30 years ago. Having been my first year gardening (I'm 15 now.), I was rather excited to try to grow those seeds when I found them packed away in our freezer in old glass Gerber jars wrapped in orange and blue napkins. As soon as I popped the lid the smell hit me. It smelled amazing! Anyways, almost every seed has germinated, and I've got beautiful, robust melons climbing up a trellis. They're the healthiest I've ever seen actually....I also planted bush beans that I found alongside the melons, likely saved by my great grandpa at the same time as the melons. I got 100% germination and they're the healthiest bush beans in the garden. Not only were they the first to germinate, but they also have had the earliest blossoms! It's amazing if you ask me. What's exciting is that my mom has stated over and over that the melons my great grandpa grew were the best she'd ever had.

How hot have you gotten your compost, with what mix of materials?
Q

Here is what my first pile looked like in May of last year. It was made with fresh grass clippings and loose hay, some leaves and shredded paper. Maybe a little horse poo, but I don't think I had added any of that yet. In the summer when I use grass clippings, I will alternate mowing with the bagger and not mowing with the bagger. This way I am still allowing the lawn to receive whatever benefits it gets from allowing the mulched grass to stay on it and I still get to use some of the clippings for the pile. I have recently started getting coffee grounds from the corner store. I am finding that the pile is staying hotter longer in using them. I don't really know if it's because I am using more greens now or because of just the addition of the grounds. Right now it's at 165.

Proliferations - Which daylilies have you gotten them from?
Q
Comments (31)
I had a lot of prolifs here this year. Didn't keep track of most of them because they are just a pain to deal with in this climate (have to be potted and babied through the winter). Maybe I'll pay more attention when I have a greenhouse to winter them in. But I did root a variegated one from 'White Stripe' just to see how easy/hard it is to do. And I will probably root one from Mahieu's 'Volcan Fuego' after the pod that is on that scape finally ripens and one on 'Desperado Love'. I also saw them on 'Broadway Gal' and 'Art Of Seduction' among others that I don't remember now.

I participated in the grab bag offer Tod65 made for 2009/2010. It sure looks like I forgot to post my thanks and feedback here, so I'm doing it now. I received an envelope practically bursting with awesome veggies and other goodies. I grew nearly all the varieties he sent and look forward to sharing the seeds I saved with other members now. Thank you again! Here is a link that might be useful: Free Seed / Grab Bag

Count me in - I have some heirloom tomatoes (among other things) I can share with him. Email me an address (yours, if you don't want to send his, or his if he oks it) and I will get a packet off to him in the next week.

Hello Lisa;
I am not a seed person but I do have some that have been given to me and I do harvest from my own each year (why I have no idea as I rarely use them). I did go to the seed exchange and could not find any posting from someone by that name. Can you link me to his/her page? Thanks.

I've traded in the past with Tod and he most certainly is a great guy to trade with. I've already posted on the other thread. As I package up seeds for several large swaps I'm at the momemt, I also plan on putting together a package of seed packets for him too.

Yes! I took advantage of one of Tod's seed offers in the past (very generous guy). I checked out the info. on the Conversations section and I'll get out a package to him soon. Thanks for letting us know. I would have never seen the other thread otherwise.

I don't believe I have ever swapped with Tod65. But I am going to try and get a bunch of Heirloom Tomato seeds and other veggie seeds out to him before the Holidays. I can imagine how devastating it is to lose so much so quickly :(
It would break my heart to lose my seed collection like that .
But I am glad to here that no one was injured in the fire.That is something to be thankful for :)
