Hey everyone, I have available for trade the following Garlics (bulbs and bubils.)

-Osage

-Italian Loiacono

-Siskiyou

-Georgian Fire

-Music

-Chinese red and white

-Belarus

I also have Yellow Potato Onions for trade (sets and seeds)

I am looking for other Garlics, most notably Elephant, but, make an offer and we can work something out. I would also love to try creoles, but really, any named variety will do :)

Also, I'll try growing anything once (maybe twice ;) so shoot me an offer, and maybe we can work something out.

Hi There! I would be interested in some of your very tiny garlic bubils! We don't have any garlic to trade but have wanted to grow some interesting varieties for our garden and eventually use them in our cooking as we LOVE garlic and cook with it every day! Let me know if you can still send us some. We have a lot of flower seeds we can trade you for! :)

Thanks!

I've got Carpathian garlic bulbils that I would like to trade for your Belarus (bulbils if you've got them; not bulbs). If interested send me a message.

If you want a compact sweet potato, Amish Bush Porto Rico does pretty well. It is a variant of the old Porto Rico. My personal favorite is Bradshaw aka Mahon. It is a a very good general purpose sweet potato that produces a good crop even in short season areas. Most important, they are much better flavored and have better texture than Georgia Jet. I've also had very good results with Covington which is a recent release that produces much higher quality sweet potatoes than industry standards like Beauregard. Sandhill's business is first come first serve. This is why it is important to order early. It is not a matter of being on a waiting list, you will be on a waiting list if you order from virtually any sweet potato supplier. Get your order in early and Sandhill will almost always ship slips in a 2 week window timed for your location. Mahon is also available from Johnny's this year so if you are ordering from them, consider getting sweet potato plants too.

Not many varieties of garlic do well here in SE Louisiana. You have several that do. I would love to have of any of the Early Italian Purple, Inchelium Red, Lorz Italian, Red Toch, or Ajo Rojo. I would like to have some Potato onions and shallots also. I have never seen a potato onion yet. The only alliums I have to offer are some bulbils of Egyptian Walking onions. Promethean Spark; Back in the '20s and '30s Cajun people were being treated pretty badly. Many spoke only French. They would gather in homes and barns and play music and dance. This outlet of expression helped many thousands get through the hard times of the depression and persecution. Today's Zydeco music is a product of this wonderful and vanishing heritage. My family had many talented musicians and singers. Not the least of which was my mother and her beautiful voice. Y'all keep up the good work Promethean Spark! I have a pretty large "HAVE" list. I hope you find some seeds there you like.

Hi Ann, I used seed, sets, and plants over the years and settled on plants. So long as cost or special varieties are not major factors I think you'll find plants more convenient and productive, and there are many varieties available. You do want to plant them as soon as the soil can be worked as they are quite cold hardy. If you don't think your soil will be workable by the end on April, just ask Dixondale to ship a little later. I would suggest a sweet variety such as Walla Walla, and a longer storage type such as Big Daddy. Garlic usually goes in the ground in mid October. Plant the cloves pointed end up (no need to peel them) about 2-3" deep and cover with a good 2-4 inches of mulch. You can grow both hardneck and softneck types in your area and I would suggest a mix. As with onions, make sure the soil is well worked (compost recommended), and space them about 5-6" apart in rows 12" apart. The best place I have found to buy garlic is from local growers, who can often be found at local garlic festivals or gatherings in September or October. They will have varieties well suited for your area and can provide a lot of professional advice - and they are cheaper! Plus I have found larger heads of garlic from them, which does affect the size of the garlic you grow. Plant only the largest cloves from each head and eat the smaller ones. The Ron Engeland book is very good but is aimed mainly at commercial organic farmers. Another good book is "The Great Garlic Book" by Chester Aaron. Both are available on Amazon. Hope this helps! Tom

I do not have garlic to trade but really would love to try some. I live in central TX so not sure which ones are good here. I have Fig tree cuttings, blackberry cuttings, and tons of veggie seeds.

hi, landscraper, are you still interested in trading some garlic?

i have two kinds of leek seed, and some cuban tobacco seeds...

i am particularly interested in the siskiyou garlic (i live in siskiyou county!!! i believe this is where its from coincidentally) as well as whatever you think is the hottest and most flavorful.

besides the leek seeds and tobacco i have a large trade list HERE

if you see somethings you like, maybe we can trade. it doesnt have to be one for one, in fact, if you find some seeds on my list you want, we can do 3 for one type of garlic.

anywho i cant see your message link, but you should be able to message me.
