I have lots of oregano and rosemary seeds, and an assortment of other herbs and veggies, and a few flowers. Take a look at my trade list and see it there's anything you'd like. I've been looking for a lot of the things you have- I would love to trade for your Lincoln peas, beets, yellow Spanish onions, salsify, atomic red carrot, purple sprouting broccoli, and/or summer savory. I have limited garden space, so I'm not looking for large amounts of any particular seeds, but I like to grow a wide variety of things each season. Here is a link that might be useful: My Trade List

I have not been on here recently due to illness and Christmas chaos. I am starting to do better, and want to pick up where I left off. I have been furiously filling seed packs (one can do that while laid up), and am almost ready to do a mailing. I will be taking up the offers of respondents here. **REMEMBER** If you, or someone you know, is in need, please contact me for a Care Package. The best way is directly at Robin282mt@verizon.net Thanks so much to all of you, Robin

Gynostemma pentaphyllum is VERY reliable indoors, it is grown in shade or light shade ( it does NOT like sunlight ) and is a very vigorious grower once it is established. i have a few years of experience growing this one indoors and it never dissapointed, it is also really easy to propagate because every stem that touches the ground roots. if you cannot get a plant from the indoor gardening section use a cutting ( or use a rootpiece ) a give it a good wash and root it with rooting hormone. i took a cutting from a plant growing outside and gave it a good wash, it rooted and i had it in a different room untill i was sure it wouldn't carry pests and moved it to the main room after a while. Kumquat are reliable and portulaca species have edible leaves -P. grandiflora is reliable indoors - others often attract pests ( portulaca oleracea is a pest magnet ). Aloe vera is pretty reliable. Alot of people are having succes with lemon grass but you have to grow them out of seeds - you cannot use plants from the outdoor garden centre section because they usually carry pests.... they must be grown out of seed or bought from the indoor section. the problem is that most fruits and herbs need ALOT of sun. i usually grow medicinal herbs like aloe, kanna, lemon grass and that kind of stuff. most fruit species and herbs are very dissapointing indoors , rosemary needs too much light especially in winter and fruit plants often take a long time and the crop can dissapointing. if you want pest resistent plants go for citrus, succulents and cacti.. stuff with thick glossy leaves. most things that are recommended in mainstream media are pest magnets. some turmeric species, ginger species and pepper ( piper) can be grown indoors also. Cardamom ( ellataria ) is reliable indoors but i don't know if it produces a worthwhile crop. coffee arabica ( pretty pest resistent ) sometimes produces a crop but it is unreliable .Stevia can be grown indoors but the taste is not that good when grown indoors. i read somewhere that certain Mahonia species can be grown indoors but i have no experience with this. certain bamboo species may produce edible shoots. Remember to keep space between plants.. certain species are too prone to mites or aphids and once a weak plant attracted them they may infect strong plants that normally do not attract pests.

My partner and I both got a late start but our seeds should be arriving at each other's homes soon. I can not wait to see what I got. Sounds like some of you got some great stuff. Linda
