WANTED: Starting Over, need veggies/herbs

20 years ago

Hi all, I'm new here, and just moved to the pacific northwest into a new place. We don't have a huge garden space, but I got pretty good at intensive gardening back in wisconsin. I used to have a huge garden in the midwest, but that was 5 years ago and now all of my seed is too old. I had a seed order all ready to go to Nichols and Johnnys, and then life happens, and we got a huge medical bill, so we know where that money went. I'm hoping some of you might have extras from your orders this year, or from saved seed, that you'd be willing to share? I would post back with anything that I have too much of, as there's only two of us, and pass it on. And next year when the moving and medical bills are paid, I'll return the favour. Here's the list of what we wanted - if you have these or similar items, I'd me most grateful, and will send you envelopes with postage. Thanks everyone!

Artichoke - Imperial Star

Green Beans - Blue Lake

canellini beans - any type

Parsley - Survivor

Sugar Snap peas

Regular spring peas

Zucchini - 8 ball or other miniature

Summer Squash - Papaya pear, patty pan, or other mini

carrots - nantes or other shorter fat variety

beets - any

green onions

basil - any varieties

cilantro - delfino or standard

chives

epazote

sage - any

marjoram

tarragon

sorrel

Pepper - Senorita

Pepper - anaheim or other mild big southwest pepper

Pepper - thai dragon or other tiny hot mean little thing -

Pepper - Jalapeno - hot or mild either one or both

Where in the PNW did you move to? Are you going to the Spring Green Elephant? I'll be bringing tomato starts there and am hoping to find someone interested in sharing an order of onions and potatoes.

We are up in Bellingham. I can't go to the green elephant as we are moving house (again) and that will be the first weekend in our new rental, so I need to work on that. Plus we can't really afford to drive that far right now - you know how tight things can get with security deposits and moving vans and ugh - luckily it's a nice little house with space in back for a garden - I'm very excited about that. I love the idea of the Green Elephant - I'd never heard of such a thing. I will definitely keep my eyes open for the next one and hopefully will have some items to bring to the swap. Plus I'm a great cook, and see that trading for food seems to be a welcome thing ;-) Perhaps next year!

I can send you seeds for sage, early jalapeno and thai dragon pepper seeds, and maybe some basils as well. If you are interested, email me, and I'll send you my info for sending the SASBE.

From one previous Wisconsinite to another...

Do you have a Big Lots store by you? They have veggies; "Sow N Gro" seeds for 20 cents and "Ferry's" for 75 cents.

Hello- I have both kinds of peas, carrots, beets, chives, sage, cilantro... I think that's it- not tons but more than I'll need for sure. Please e-mail me if you are interested.
