Hello! Been a Long Time/Seed Exchange

Hello to all. It has been a while since I have been on here. I preferred the old format. Oh well. Happy Holidays, and seed saving!

I am looking for seeds to trade for my Need4Seed charity. I accept donations, but I am more than willing to trade for seeds. Also, if there is anyone here in financial difficulty and you need help, please contact me at: http://need4seed.freeforums.net/

It seems my wish list and list of HAVES did not transfer over. What I am looking for is hard to find/unusual food seed. I like veggies , fruits, and edible flowers. I have a great deal of seed, so if you could list your wants, I may have it. I will have to set up my listsa on here again. Meanwhile, give me a try.

For those of you who have or will donate the address is Need4Seed, P.O. Box 31, Columbia Falls, Maine (ME) 04623-0031

For trades, post here, and I will be checking in to see if we can set something up.

Thanks!!

Remember, I have lots to trade, and will be glad to do so. I started Need4Seed because someone on here needed help (house burned down) and had nothing to offer. I sent them all I had, and continued the practice!

Glad to say hello!

No I am sorry, I don't. I have grown cockscomb in the past, but not since I moved to Maine in 2011.

I did have a birthday!! I can not believe you remembered that. Thank you!!! I promise to be a good girl and not leave my chair for so long again. I really enjoy this forum and everyone here. The East coast is awesome!! I can't believe we have been here for so long. The kids are all out of school and my youngest is doing Basic Training in the Army over in Georgia. Can you believe he was only in 6th grade when we got here? We are so proud of him! I have spent all morning trying to find the best car rental to drive over to see his graduation. Two weeks and he will then go onto Airborne School. His training should keep him stateside for at least the rest of this year. We still have most of the fur kids. Two of our oldest cats have gone over the Rainbow Bridge in the last few months. I am dreading the coming year as most of our animals all seem to be roughly the same ages. Every one is in good health so maybe they will stay that way! Our oldest dog is getting slower though. Trish

Thank you Dee and everyone. Isn't it nice to be missed? Just had a little spell in hospital but OK now. Paradisi: The snail plant is a prolific creeper, we have four grown from seed, and they cover the side of the garage. The seeds are in a pod which looks like a bean pod, but black. I believe its proper name is Vigna Caracalla - Phaseolus gigantica family: Fabaceae. That is what some members on the GW told me. It is highly perfumed, something like a gardenia and the shape of the flower is gorgeous. Doesn't last long in water but good on the vine. Thanks Goldhills, Pete has grown plenty of veg this year, tomatoes slow due to weather, silver beet, lettuce, carrots & beans- super, but our first pumpkin. Maria, our Shariffa Asma took a while to take off, as did the English Garden, but the wait is worth while. Heather, my friend, how's everything with you and your family? How different to have gladdies growing on the traffic islands, very colourful. Don't they get stolen?

Hey there, Frugaljon....welcome aboard. I wish to recommend to your pleasure a video on YouTube about the Hanging Hosta of Hampshire. Ever heard of them? I've watched the videos innumerable times, trying to note details of how they manage so many hosta, and what happens when winter comes, you know, just looking and dreaming. I link to one such video below. My hosta garden is 25 x 100 and is in coastal Alabama (near the Gulf of Mexico), and my zone is considered 9a or at best 8b. We have an undependable winter here, but we manage a few freezes and cold temps enough to make dormancy possible. Get ready to join the fun day after Christmas, when the Hosta Alphabet series begins. Until then, similar threads exist for last last several years. Wonderful resource. Here is a link that might be useful: HANGING HOSTAS OF HAMPSHIRE video

Marbles, I'm assuming that since this is a charitable endeavor, you are focusing on seed for edibles? If not, could you clarify what types of seed you are looking for?

Dear marbles, I would love to trade for some vegetable seeds. I am an slp in a small rural elementary school and am helping to maintain our school garden. I do have seeds that I can trade and sunflower and bean seeds that I could donate if that is something you are interested in. I also have a wish list and more seeds on my trade list. Looking forward to your reply.
