Wow, I just read that Baker Creek will have 175 new varieties for 2010. I can't wait for all the new catalogs to come out. Anyone spot anything new that they must grow in 2010? I'm after Buhl sweet corn, please let me know if you see any.

Welcome John.

Glad you found the place. If you'd like, there is place under Other Hobbies, called 'a little about yourself' where you are welcome to introduce yourself, but only if you like. The people here are very friendly and trades don't always have to be in seeds, or even always required. Some just ask you to pay it forward.

You can check out my list under Hip-Gnosis Seed Development: Available Seed and Breeding Projects, called "Pugs' seed list". Owen has a nice list too. G&G (grunt and grungy aka Val and Dan) will be posting their list soon, and wow! what a list it is. Also paquebot (Martin) has quite a list and he is great to trade with.

Again, welcome!

Thanks for the welcome Pugs!

I'm kinda out of control about buying seeds. I usually buy way more than I have space to grow. In fact next summer will be my first with my own back yard. I have been collecting seeds for awhile and have about 2000 varieties in my collection now to grow out. I'm kinda worried than in the move some of the seeds might have gotten too hot when they accidently got put out in the garage for a month. This year I'll be trying to save as many old and rare varieties that I can. Hopefully next year I will have a lot of fresh seed to trade. I have much work to do as my new garden area has been neglected for at least 10 years. Basically, I have a two-three inch layer of weed seeds and many of those are puncture vine seeds (ouch!).

Here is a sample of some of the seeds I will be trying to revive next summer. I will be very sad if none of them grow.

John,

Sounds like you've got some rare tomatoes there. You'll be surprised how well they will do.

I think most of us are in the same boat with seeds that you are. I don't have that many, but I keep wondering how I'll grow them all out while they are viable. I've been setting priorities. Which ones can I not find commerically or ones that are not traded much, those are the first I'm trying to grow out. Also age, the older the seeds, the quicker I'll grow them. Tomato seeds will last a while, given half a chance. Peppers, I found don't. Nor corn. I'm not sure about squash yet.

I'm not sure what puncture vine is, but reclaiming garden space is a pain. Good luck with that.

I have no clue what a Puncture Vine is either. It doesn't sound very friendly. lol Maybe you can smother out some of the weeds with cardboard or newspaper over the winter.

Unaware of its invasive properties and capability to puncture my bicycle tyres, I grew Tribulus one year. Luckily it didn't like our cold summers. Anyone eaten it (the reason I grew it)? It's listed in both Cornucopia II and PFAF.

Ive got this plant, didnt know it was edible, but I knew its danger to bare feet and bicycle tires. what par is edible?

From high desert, New Mexico. A blend of arid conditions and mountainous climates. Working towards being completely self sufficient. In balance with my surroundings wide awake, and aware. The possibilities of plant breeding and how little credit most give it amaze me. Earth is a living eco-system, and will have a self regulating system of our removal, if necessary. We must learn to ride the wave

Man, I'm sooooooo looking forward to catalog season already, even though there is very little I can ever fit into the production routine at this point, I'm completely out of space. I just spent four days organizing the seed collection into something roughly acceptable but the rotation still needs to be worked out.

From this point forward my seed production scheduele will be focused on finishing out my breeding projects, introducing the new Hip-Gnosis varieties and producing seed of only the very BEST of the RAREST of what I have. Other things are currently being produced by many others and don't warrant the time investment I'd have to put into them, but the next few years will be exciting!

You grew it deliberately???

Wow! More times than I can remember that I've wandered into a patch of these barefooted. To my lasting regret.

I have heard that the seed kernels are edible, but... who can be bothered? They're so small anyway. Anyway. Very pleased that they didn't survive Norway's climate ;D you'd sure live to regret it.
