Giving away free tomato seeds(or will swap for Sun Gold F1)
Comments (5)I would like to have some tomato seeds but I don't have SunGold (F1). You may have a hard time finding them for trade. Since they are hybrid you cannot save seeds from them. Most people just keep the extras for next year because the seeds will be good for several years. www.wintersown.org has a variety of seeds available. A lot of them are very desirable varieties. The selection changes frequently and she does not always have SunGold. Most are free for the first 6 kinds but since the SunGold is a hybrid you have to make at least a $5.00 donation to get them. With the donation you can get a total of 10 varieties. Do a Google search for tomato seed sources. A lot of places have economical seeds but no minimum order. Be sure to check shipping cost. Some companies charge an arm and a leg! Margaret...See Morewanted: wbf/ brad gates types, will trade 2 of mine for 1 of you

Comments (15)I agree with John above. That is why I begin with FEDCO seeds and pick most from there. Then I move on to Sandhill Preservation and then I see what is left over. I am then down to a few special plants and I will usually order extra seeds so I dont have to order every year. I save so much money at Fedco that I feel I get to buy the other seeds for free from other companies. They also have excellent selections for northern gardeners. Johnnys is ok but when I compare prices my low cost yankee blood orders from Fedco. Johnnys is getting into all the newest hybrids. I prefer OP. I buy at minimum 40 different seed packs each year. So it would be easy to spend an extra $100 if I was not careful. Territorial for example. If I purchase 1 seed pack it might cost $4 for the pack plus $7 for shipping. That is way too much. I can get some of those same seeds from FEDCO for $1 with free shipping. a huge savings. Of course in my example I have maximized the difference for impact. I think $7 minimum shipping is outrageous. The maximum shipping charge at Fedco is $3 and it is free if you order $30. Fedco is extremely honest and professional and sells only seeds at the highest quality. Sandhill is very different. They make their own heirloom seeds. They are into preservation and I like to support their efforts. A great small home company doing wonderful work. they have hundreds of heirloom toms. I purchased 5 different types of long keeping toms this spring from them. Great company. some wonderful rare seeds that you will want to grow. learn more about these two companies and you will like them also....See MoreCould you identify Sungold by its smell?
Comments (22)YES, I CAN identify Sun Gold plants by the smell. On a sidenote, I'm growing 2 Sun Gold here from Burpee Seed, and not only don't they smell correct but they also are producing orangy RED cherry tomatoes! My buddy is growing 2 from the same pack and he said they don't taste anything like the Sun Golds grown last year (different source.) His 2 are golden orange. I jokingly told him they were incorrect back when we sowed them since I usually spell the name as one word and Burpee's pack is two words; YES, I know it's often spelled both ways depending on who/where. By the way, the seed at precisely 2 up approximately 7 o'clock on the napkin is Sun Gold. Of course it may not be Sungold......See MorePupillaCharites
