In the past TyTY has operated under many different names online at the same time.
I understand that if you walk into their nursery, know your plants, and are able to see what you are purchasing, they can be OK. But buying mail order is a form of Russian roulette.

Biorag, I am sorry, I am at a remiss for not thanking you for your kindness. I apologize. And I would love to try your plum also if it is available as seeds.
Again thank you very much. Now what can we do for you?

biorag, would you want some of these peach pits? I don't know much about them, except that it must be pretty hardy. it lives at about 8000 feet. The peaches are small and tasty. And it grew from a pit to begin with, so presumeably is one of the types of peaches that do that well.
I appreciate you saving me seed. THANKS merci beaucoup?

thanks biorag! i am saving pits from our dwarf peach tree also this year. i believe it's Gala, will have to check. when three years old it produced loads of fruit and now, it's fourth year, it is still producing like crazy. we had to put up several tripods to help the branches not break. the peaches are medium plus sized and extremely sweet and juicy. very very cold hardy trees.

Ah, Bunkie, if you have a few pits to spare, could I raise my hand for some?

Very good ! Sorry Silverseeds, I forgot to answer you about the peaches : I don't search any fruit seeds because the limited area, but that's not a problem. |

thanks biorag! i am saving pits from our dwarf peach tree also this year. Thanks Bunkie ! As I was saying to Silverseeds I don't search any fruit seeds. Maybe other seeds ? or nothing. I grow too many plants and my problem is to limit myself because the place .... and sometimes my wife ! |

Val, your cherrie seed are FINALLY all planted and the boys are credited for the science of planting said seed AND for making the frame they are now living in. Today they will create a new frame for the strawberry seed recieved from Alan.
I'm loving all this talk about the peaches and other fruit trees. I've got a few market pits that I'm gonna try just to try.
Question, about when will we be having all the summer seed catalogs ready to share?

Bunkie& Silver Seeds, please try to save me a few peach pits. I need some that are extra hardy. |

Let me clarify that question I posed... What time frame can I be thinking about having most, if not all, of my seed ready for trading?

Jo: We usually have it pulled together about the end of October. Our growing season extends to the first part of October, and we generally get so far behind it's the end of the month before we are done with the actual seed saving and have everything properly catalogued. By then our albums have been online long enough most people know what they are going to want , so the avalanche starts almost immediately. Just watch for the start of list posting, and you'll know.

flowerpower, val and silverseeds, i am canning up batches of 'our peach' jam as we speak, and saving all the pits!
biorag, what kind of seeds would you like? aanything special?
as far as planting these pits, do you all sprout them first and transplant? or just put in the ground in fall and allow to chill naturally and come up ion the spring?
we have two 18 plus year old European Plum trees, that we planted in 87 as babies in Mt. Raineer then moved over here with us, that produce medium plus fruit wonderfully every year. they do not really ripen till after the first hard frost. every year the critters, goats, ducks, dogs, etc... gobble down the ones that fall on the ground....and every spring we have brand new little trees. will save seed for any one wanting any...

We just do what Mother Nature would do only a little deeper. Anyone else does it differently?

they saif they will have some of various types this fall. Likely sold out by december. so anyone interested in that, I guess it will be available in short supply. They told me to check often if theres a certain type I want.
