Seeds needed for garden

11 years ago

I'm a young newbie gardener looking for any type of seeds. If you have any spare seeds please consider sending them my way. Thank you so much.

    I have Red Russian kale,

    cantaloupe-Hale's best,

    Tomatoes...

    Amur tiger, red & gold ping pong ball sized, and...

    Copia seeds from a fused flower/fruit-may fuse again or not-Copia is usually a yellow slicer with red stripes or blush.

    I have a cherry cross tomato, that mostly bears red cherry tomatoes, but may bear some plants with amber colored fruit.

    Mixed radishes-random ratio of Cherry Belle (early), and (Sparkler White Tip (later).

    Acorn squash. Unknown variety.


    Tomato seeds only, are one stamp, or 50 cents paypal sent in a greeting card I have here.

    non tomatoes only, or non tomatoes and tomatoes, are 3 stamps or $1.50 paypal, sent in a bubble envelope I have here.

    Tomatoes, cantaloupe & squash, are 20 seeds.

    Kale & radish, you can specify how much you need, or I'll send an 8th TEAspoon, which is about 20+.

    will you be willing to trade any of those seeds for broccoli seeds?
  • 11 years ago

    I have several hundred of these seeds

  • 11 years ago

    Is the broccoli a hybrid? Perhaps it doesn't matter if it is, if I can't get them to live long enough to make seeds, in my short season.

    What would you like of my seeds?

    Just consider each variety of mine, 20 seeds each , but you'll get more diversity from me, and some seeds are bigger, so, if you can do 200 broccoli seeds, for one of each of mine, I guess I could do that.

    If you only want half the varieties I have, it will still cost the same shipping of about $1.50. So I'd still like 200 broccoli seeds, if if that's doable for you.

    I need that many, which sounds like a lot, because it'hard for me to grow them here. Last year, I only had one plant survive, and not long enough to flower and set seed.


  • 11 years ago

    What state are you in? The type of broccoli I have is unknown to me, but it has done well in both hot and cold temps. So if I could get you the 200 seeds, what is it that I would get in return?

  • 11 years ago

    I can also add 10 of romanesco broccoli seeds.

  • 11 years ago


  • 11 years ago

    And I was able to get 5 plants with 8 seeds. So these also tend to do well.

  • 11 years ago

    For 200 broccoli seeds, you could get 20+ of EACH type of my seeds, or whichever you want.

    "so, if you can do 200 broccoli seeds, for one of each of mine, I guess I could do that."

    "If you only want half the varieties I have, it will still cost the same shipping of about $1.50. So I'd still like 200 broccoli seeds, if if that's doable for you."

    So, your choice of...

    20+ Red Russian kale,

    20 cantaloupe-Hale's best,

    Tomatoes...

    20 Amur tiger, red & gold ping pong ball sized, and...

    20 Copia seeds from a fused flower/fruit-may fuse again or not-Copia is usually a yellow slicer with red stripes or blush.

    20 cherry cross tomato, that mostly bears red cherry tomatoes, but may bear some plants with amber colored fruit.

    20+ Mixed radishes-random ratio of Cherry Belle (early), and (Sparkler White Tip (later).

    20 Acorn squash. Unknown variety.

    If you want more than 20 of Red Russian Kale, I could do that, but all you need to do, is let one or two kale plants overwinter, and set seed, and they'll make hundreds if not thousands of seeds and seed pods the next year.

    The same for the radishes, except, they'll set seed the 1st year, in the fall.

    I'm going to deliberately plant a black, round radish this year, just to be seed parents, while planting this mix myself, to eat.

    Next year, I'll plant the black radish to eat, and a pink one for seed. This way, the different radish types won't cross.

    I'm planting a different type of kale this year too, and could plant Red Russian, just to eat.

    The same with parsnips and carrots. I overwintered some of those, and hope they become seed parents this year, while planting others to eat, and leave some to over winter. That way I can get fresh seed every year, and some to eat.

    Well, let me know which of mine you'd like.

  • 11 years ago

    Ok, so would I be able to get:

    20 red Russian kale

    20 cantaloupe-Hale's best

    20 Amur tiger, red & gold ping pong ball sized, and...

    20+ Mixed radishes-random ratio of Cherry Belle (early), and (Sparkler White Tip (later).

    20 Acorn squash. Unknown variety.

    Say I send 250 seeds for these, what's the difference I would have to pay?

  • 11 years ago

    There's no paying involved in a trade. :)

    You send the broccoli to me, preferrably in a small bubble envelope, to protect them from the mail machines, and I'll send the ones you want above, in a reused bubble envelope I have here. That's it!


    Both postage amounts should be a dollar 50 cents (3 stamps).

    So every thing is even. You pay for 3 stamps you stick on my pkg, and I pay for 3 stamps to stick on your pkg. Same cost for both traders.

    Often, a seed trader can reuse the bubble envelopes they get, and save money by not needing to buy any.

    Yes, you can have all those from me, and even more kale, or radish if you want.

    Some people succession plant radishes, to have an ongoing supply, so may need more than 20 seeds. I have plenty. I even still have some in the pods, I need to get out.

    Some people pick kale young, to use in salad mixes. This may kill the young plants, so they may need to reseed, for a steady supply of young leaves.

    Other people may use the adult leaves, so might not need that many.

    If you have extra this year, you can plant them next year to eat, while your overwintering "parent" plants are making seed.

    Many seeds I actually give 25, instead of 20, in case some don't come up.

    I planted 6 squash seeds, and only 5 came up. One never knows, weather the'll all germinate or not, so I include 5 "bonus" seeds, of tomato, squash, cantaloupe, etc, just in case some don't come up.

  • 11 years ago

    Sounds good, so I'd be able to trade you 250 broccoli seeds for seeds of the 5 different varieties I listed? Just trying to clarify.

  • 11 years ago

    Thank you so much. I'll get the seeds ready, do you want them in or out of pod.

    And you can send your seeds to:

    CAN Enterprises

    7379 Rose Lane

    El Paso, Tx

    They went out today, with 3 maya angilou stamps on it, in a postal mail box. Please let me know if you get them

  • 11 years ago

    I will, I will also send mine asap, I just need to get the envelope. I'm sending you between 250-300 seeds
