Hi. I have a package of Golden grande Onion seeds. (Cebolla Grande Dorada) It's from Burpee. I bought it but did not even open it. It is from this year. I would love to trade for some of the bird egg gourd.

Did you have any luck getting seeds? I know it's late in the season, but I'd be happy to send you some Pequin and Tepin seeds if you want.

Flax seed is very high in magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin E, carotene, B-group vitamins, calcium, sulfur, potassium, phosphorous, manganese, silicon, copper, nickel, molybdenum, chromium, and cobalt. Also, Omegas 3 and 6, as well as lignans that enhance the immune system. I used to feed it to all my pregnant and nursing mother hammies so mom AND babies could reap the benefits of the tiny grain. It has cancer prevention properties and as well, research suggests that it aids in the eye developement of fetal and newborn babies. In a pinch (when I was out of bird feeder seed) I would feed my home made hammy food to the birds and they didn't seem to mind the flax at all. Any hammy owners out there? If you are, check out my home made hamster feed recipe. I buy all the ingredients at Bulk Barn and when hubby and I calculated it out, you save over 50% of the cost over the highest priced commercial brand seed mix and don't get all the crap seeds like corn and millet.

black oil sunflower seeds will attract the most birds, but you WILL get squirrels too. You can plant native trees & shrubs instead. Do a search for native shrubs for wildlife.
