Newbie, Have list, trying for a trade

11 years ago

Hi,

I'd like to try trading seeds and plants. I thought posting this might be a good start. I think I enabled messaging without including my social security number. I would send seeds in a small bubble envelope.

I live in zone 6 in New England and I'm interested in fresh onion seed (onion, scallion, shallot, leek, etc), fragrant flowers (not too wild or unmanageable), berries (bilberry, et al), medicinal plants, and green leafy vegetables.

From my garden last fall, I have chamomile (the fragrant type for tea), vincenza blue lavender (easier than you might think), African daisy (tender perennial), chervil herb (from 2013).

Purchased this year from a Maine seed coop for 2015 growing season, I have an extra packet of black krim tomatoes that I won't use; red cored Chantenay carrots came with way too many seeds (a couple hundred or so); Alaska Shasta daisy, dozens more than I need.

2014 from seed supply source:

Black King Eggplant

Pink Princess Gene Pool Cherry Tomato

Tyee Spinach

Yellow Pear Tomato

2013, from seed supply source:

Large-leaf round mache

Purple Pac Choi

Osaka Purple Mustard

I have some Red Russian Kale, if you'd want any. Could trade for carrot seeds.

I have a small quantity of Copra,Candy and Ruby Ring onions. I also have King Richard Leeks and Ambition Shallots. The packages have approximately 30 to 40 seeds. The seeds are fresh for 2015. I would be interested in your African daisies, vincenza lavender and pink princess tomatoes. Karen

Welcome to gardenweb!

Would you be interested in trading some of your chamomile for some Clemson Spineless Okra?

I don't have any of the other things that you mentioned but I do have tons of Okra:-)

Happy Gardening

Thanks all for responding to this post. I'm out of the Vincenza Blue lavender.

seedtraderyandex, I already have a lot of kale (russian red and lacinato). I wasn't able to find other seeds you offer.

katjaqu, I live in zone 6 where it's probably too cold and I'm not a huge fan of okra (unless it's in a veritable Southern gumbo).

ohiopeppers, phylis and others who messaged me: Thank you for getting me started with first trades. Cool :)

Sorry I missed your comments. My first 3 trades were overwhelming and then actually using the seeds filled my quota. Denise I might still have pink princess and you are welcome to send sase for them. I'll send an email once I can see if there any left if you are still interested.

I have:

Onion - Blanco Duro - 2014

Onion - White Lisbon Bunching - 2014

Basil - Lettuce Leaf - 2014

Of yours I would like:

Purple Pac Choi

chervil

Osaka Purple Mustard

Any chance for a trade of some sort? I have other greens as well (Swiss Chard - Orange Fantasia - a few seeds - 2014), just gotta find `em. Most would be 2012 or 2013.

I'm totally into collecting purple, lately. I also have Royal Burgundy beans (2014), which are purple until cooked, then they turn forest green. - PLMK!
