I'm Italian and I'm graduated in agronomy in the university of Milano, i enjoy the agriculture since i was little To pay my university i have work as seasonal worker in viticulture and wine making process, and in corn trial fields.

Hi Rammstein,
PM your address and I'll send you some tomato seeds. I already sent off all my peppers to Cortona, another friend from Italy.

I will send them in August.

I received a rare corn from Italy called Agostino o agosintello.

Can you translate this for me? It came from the Rieti area.

I am always looking for Italian Beans.

Welcome to the forum. These are nice folks.

Welcome to this forum!
My community has a sizeable immigrant population from Italy. Many of these people brought their favorite seeds, especially pole beans, tomatoes and peppers from their homeland. As a young gardener, I took notice of how they grew their gardens...so in a wide sense, feel 'mentored' by their experiences. Several neighbours introduced me to keeping rabbits as well. As nearly every Italian-from Italy, home on small or large lot in my neighbourhood when I moved here twenty years ago, kept a backyard chicken coop AND a small rabbitry.

I carried on their tradition.

hi..is nice to see that i'm not the only italian that found this forum!
for 12540 agostino or agostiello are two person names, but at the same time it speack that it can be a variety that are arvest in august (agosto is august but in the past some people are called gosto or agostino probably due to the birth period) but a little corn that are tipical of august can be called in this way... hope that this help a bit!

Hi,

Have either of you Italians ordered anything from Four Sementi IT?

They have some really interesting onions. A cipolla Rossa Savonese. You can eat it autumn through winter as a fresh onion or let it overwinter for dry onions in Spring? Really my Italian just gets worse, but these do look
onions I'd love to have in my trial.

Happy to have you here. We have a seed trading area, so you should be able to trade for many things you want, once we all have our crops in. My parents just came back from their second trip to Italy, where my mother's family came from early in the 20th century. She's in love with your country.
