kazedwards, I have your seeds sorted and packed. Next move is find an envelope and get it to the post office.  blackox, I counted out my Joseph's moschata seeds. Comes to 16 each for you and Zach, 17 for me. So don't short yourself sending me a huge bunch of yours. Keep it fair to yourself. I'll message you my address.  (I had a blonde moment while spelling mos hchata!)

Would you like any seed back for the seed library? That would be great. Whatever you'd like to send. Just remember it's small and has yet to generate much interest. It's actually in the drawer you can see in the background of that pic. Here's a pic inside it.  I hope to one day make it an online thing, with a website. People could send seeds and made up packages. I should make an email address for it and have things sent "care of" to the church or a library, or just get a po box. And it needs a name. |

Here's the list, sorry it's a bit disorganized.
Strawberry Popcorn
Bean, Tiger Eye (half-runner)
Bean, Preston's Old Family Heirloom (bush)
Bean, Khabarovsk (pole)
Bean, Mrocuimere (bush)
Bean, Black Valentine (bush)
Bean, Fort Portal Mixed (pole)
Bean, Steuben Yellow Eye (sort of sprawling)
Bean, Anasazi (sprawling)
Bean, Topcrop (bush)
Bean, Oregon Giant (pole, older seed)
Bean, Cherokee Trail of Tears (pole, older seed)
Pea, mixed (Joseph's breeding clache + Golden Sweet + GS dark seed selection)
Cowpea, Grey Speckled Palapye
Cowpea, Torkuviahe
Cowpea, mottle eye/ brown eye (originally from blueadzuki)
Squash, Mariana di Chioggia (saved from storebought fruit, likely crossed)
Squash, Musquee de Provence
Squash, butternut (probably waltham)
Squash, delicata (very old seed, free if you want them)
Cucmber, mixed standard types (older seed)
Eggplant, mystery variety (saved from fruit that were a bit on young side, probably Italian pickling type)
Poppy, pink peony type
I also have all kinds of older tomato seeds. Most were bought last year - I just have way too many seeds of too many varieties, I'll never use them all.
I always try to throw in bonuses, so if you end up with something that you don't need or probably won't use, pass them on.
Later I'll have -
Squash, Turk's Turban (saved from storebought fruit so likely crossed)
Almost forgot -
Looking for:
Moschata squashes
cowpeas
early flint/flour corns
Anything unusual, very open to new things

kazedwards No, don't worry, I'll be happy to send a few Yellow Coyotes. blackox I'd love a few of your Mrocuimere bush beans for my landrace if you can spare them. I had eight varieties of moschatas blooming at once (Jacare, Corazon de Panama, Guyana, Palav Kadu, Santa Fe Mountain Club, Santa Fe Banana, Shishigitani and Violina Rugosa); the only ones with surviving fruit were Violina Rugosa. These made it through a late freeze, heat, drought, flood, large hail, and a tornado. So this should be the start of one rugged landrace and an interesting grow out next year. Would love to trade some of my moschata seeds for a few of Joseph's.

Sorry I haven't been active on this thread... I'm being distracted by the fall harvest. I expect to have plenty of seed to share in about November. Funny how things ebb and flow from year to year... I was expecting a great runner bean harvest... I might get 3 to 5 seeds from a planting of about 160 seeds. It's entirely my fault for mis-planting. I'll be begging runner bean seed again this year. At least there was some return on investment, no matter how poor. And for the first time ever I expect to have short-season okra seed to share. Today I harvested short-season tobacco seeds. It's looking like there are plenty. I'm also expecting to share a little bit of garbanzo and fava seed. My swap list is somewhat outdated. I'll be realigning the tomato and squash landraces. Spinach, turnips, radishes, carrots, and onions continue to be problematic for me to grow out for seed. Perhaps one of these days I'll get the methods down. |

I have some radish although I 'm not sure exactly where they are right now but I'll find em for you. I don't remember what they are except French Breakfast is in there. They are mostly roundish and mostly fairly mild but some pretty hot ones show up too. They have been selected for shorter (seed) maturing time. I don't really care about that except I've never had much space so often want the spot for something else before they are all ready. I guess longer maturing ones have been selected against in the process.
I also have lots of beans including a few runners and some cool little hot peppers I'v grown for years and years. I'll track down the radishes and make up a list of other stuff.

I too have some interest in trading here this year. It will be a while before I get mine sorted out and listed. I can say short season varieties bred by people on this board are of special interest to me after this entirely too short of a season.

Oldmonie, Kazedwards, and Flowerweaver your seeds are packed just need to get those in the mail.
Before I forget, want to add something to my "looking for" list. Any hubbard-type maxima squash would be great. Hoping to start a landrace, hubbards used to be popular here and many of the local elders know and love hubbards.
