Joseph if you are interested this is what I propose: your small gourd mix for mixed non-savoyed spinach and mixed moschatas. Also I am still looking for Jenny Lind melons if you happen to have them. OK. Sounds great!

Just got back from mailing a bunch of packages. I think that will take care of most of you. Give it a week or ten days for transit, and then if I've missed anyone send me a personal message.
Gray, Tim, and Telsing: still got mailings headed to you after I pick the onions, and eat the squash, and receive the shipment that's coming to me.

I have just received seeds from one of my collaborators working on the cold-nighted short-season high-altitude watermelon landrace. The seeds were grown about 20 miles from my farm.
I'm sending seeds to Keen101. After that I'll have a few available for sharing with collaborators. I define a collaborator as someone who will attempt to grow out the seed and return a portion of the harvested seed. Photos, and/or posts to the newsgroup, and/or emails about how they are growing are appreciated but not required.
Because the seed is limited, I am accepting proposals by personal message, and will send seed to those whose garden most matches the target conditions for the landrace: high-altitude, short-season, cool-weather, low-humidity, etc.

I'm digging seed grown carpathian (english) walnut seedlings for the next couple weeks. They are available for sale, swap, or gifting. Send me a personal message if you'd like some.

Now aren't those purdy leetle trees. Joseph, I'm seeding your landrace Ashworth now. I just came in to get another tag. Frosty is still sitting there shivering. Leo says he feels sorry for it. One day it's 70 and the next 40. It's got germination and it's up, it's color looks like butter lettuce. I'm afraid to fertilize because we are not past our last frost date yet. I'm afraid it would put on growth and then slam. So, we are leaving it alone, other than singing to it. It's not quite ready for "I'm as Corny as Kansas in August"....but we're humming "The rain makes corn...the corn makes Whiskey...and whiskey makes me feel fine....while we're raising umbrellas, the good Lord raises Corn...." www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjaf2-32t18

Frosty should be right at home then... It was developed in a garden where daily temperature swings of 40 F are typical day after day for the whole growing season. Color sounds about right.

True Potato SeedsI am currently swap-sharing surplus potato seeds from my potato breeding program. They represent about 60 varieties or landraces of true potato seed that I have acquired since 2009. I jumbled all the varieties together.
Colors and Description There are early potatoes, and late potatoes. The color of the skin ranges from white, to brown, to red, to pink, to purple, to yellow. The color of the flesh ranges from white, to orange, to red, to pink, to purple, to yellow, to blue. Some of them even have bi-colored flesh or skin. The shape of the tubers ranges from round, to oval, to fingerling. Some of the seed is recently descended from Bolivia, Peru, and the Andes. Other seed is domestic. Some of the seed is open pollinated. Other seeds are crosses resulting from hand-pollination. Some plants produce an abundance of seeds, other plants are more reserved about fruiting. Most of them are tetraploids, but there might be a few diploids. Some seeds are brown, some are white. Some seeds are tiny, some are a bit less tiny. I grew some of the seed. Some of the seed was grown by other professional breeders or in the home gardens of my collaborators.
Send me a personal message with your address if you'd like about 50 seeds. Offer me some type of seed. I am currently looking for most kinds of open pollinated garden crops except muskmelon. Particularly attractive to me this year are non-hybrids for: Beets, carrots, onions, and broccoli. Some examples of included types:
