2016 / 2017 Trades

[reed]

Was updating my list and realized that editing an old post does not show up as new so people might not see it. So, I decided to make a new one for this year's trades.

Reed's 2016 / 2017 trades 

Watermelon, mix descended from seeds provided  by Joseph, Ferdzy  and Oldmobie with a little bit of Sugar Baby and Moon & Stars mixed in. Only seeds from the sweetest fruits were saved. Includes red, pink and yellow fleshed fruits. Some round and some oblong, various rind coloring. 
    +Large fruited - over ten pounds some up to twenty five  OUT
    +Small fruited - under ten pounds some as small as five  OUT
    + All Mix - all of the above mixed together, enough for a couple trades

Muskmelon / Cantaloupe / Honeydew,   mix descended from seeds provided by Joseph and Ferdzy with some Minnesota Midget mixed in. Wide range of sizes, skin types and colors including some with green flesh. Only sweetest most melony flavor were saved. Wide maturity range
    +Large fruited - over seven pounds some up to fifteen
    +Small fruited - under seven pounds with some as small as one pound ***Includes high percentage of "Rock Type" the best melon I ever ate, but kinda long season.***

Tomatoes
    +Paste / Ox Heart types - Includes "local heart" a big pink ox heart from SE IN, Utah Heart, descended from Joseph's short season all kinds mix, one of the best I'v come across, ox heart and round paste types from Toomanyirons and my own PP Rutgers. Most have at least semi-open flowers.
    +pimpinellifolium / lycopersicum F2? segregating crosses, a dozen or so different phenotypes of small sweet fruits, orange, yellow, red. Varies in size from marbles to ping pong balls.  

Beans (minimum of 150 seeds to increase chances you get all the genes) 
    +Common Pole (Survivor mix) - seeds from a patch of approximately 40 kinds that were planted and neglected, no weeding, no trellising, no care at all but some still made. Also includes about six segregations from a cross between KY Wonder and Ideal Market. 

Corn (minimum of 500 seeds to increase chances you get all the genes and so you can plant thick)  
     +Sweet  
            approximately 20% is a mix of around thirty pure Se and Su  kinds left over from purchases in 2014.
            approximately 30% is a mix of those above from 2015 as well as Painted Mountain, Cascade Cream Cap and a few other flour and flints that were detasseled and             crossed to the sweets. Some of these look like non sweet kernels but are genetically half sweet
            approximately 50% is all of the above from 2016 plus disease resistant modern hybrids 
            (*this is an early stage landrace project. Focusing on early maturity, drought and disease resistance and color as well as great flavor) 

**Sorry but I have to ask for $5.00 to cover packaging and postage for the corn and beans unless you have something to trade that I really want. 

Above is just the stuff that I want to move to new homes because I don't have room to grow it or keep it frozen. I am open to trading most anything that may have caught you attention is other posts. 

My want list is pretty short but open to suggestions. 
        Pole Beans - that really do have a short or half runner grow habit, any that really do top out at 8' or less but still are actual pole beans so I don't have to stoop over to pick them.

I never got around to posting my trade list last year, so this time I got prepared early. This will be my first time trading seeds by mail, so any guidance you can give me would be much appreciated. I have been trading with people in-person for years.

I am growing most things in a grex/proto-landrace style. In parentheses, I have listed the parents (or known phenotypes) that contributed to the grex. In most cases, I am still saving seeds separately from individual phenotypes/varieties. If you are interested in certain parent varieties in particular, I am happy to send them, but they will likely be crossed. I’m not sure whether I will continue saving varieties separately next year.

A few things on the list were actually isolated enough that I would consider them “pure” varieties -- they are marked as such. Nearly everything on the list was grown in 2015 or 2016. Most of the proto-landraces are in their first or second generation. Let me know if you have any questions about my seeds.

I have a pretty substantial “wants” list. For many crops, I already have a good stock of germplasm, but would still like to add diversity to the mix. Landrace varieties would be highly appreciated. In most cases, I am only looking for small quantities of seed to add to diverse plantings. That is what I’m expecting to send in trades, but I could send larger quantities of some things...depending on how many people are interested.

Many of these are Canadian either by birthright or from the Agricultural Stations of many provinces and programs for cold tolerance or short-seasons....ex: Canabec..."bec" indicated Quebec...1960-1970s mostly.

There are also the Sub Arctic series-developed in the 1940's to be grown by US Air Force troops stationed in Greenland...sounds reasonable..however I think it was another variety out of the Beaverlodge Research Station (Alberta, Canada) in the 1970s by Dr. Harris.


R. E. Harris
Research Station, Canada Agriculture, Beaverlodge, Alberta. Contribution no. NRG 71-6,
received tutg.24, 1971, accepted Nov. 9, 1971.

Canadian Journal of Science

I also have an early canteloupe and watermelon with limited seeds to trade from Northern MI.

If you seek a certain tomato you heard about I probably have it.

I need Tom Thumb lettuce and any cool Cool season stuff.

Always ready for garden chat

[Earl]

Bluemeadow...per your reply I'd love any non GMO OP corn....Lakota (see if it is different than mine), any

short-season winter squash...any lettuce that has a mini-ball like Tom Thumb....but I have Tennis Ball


Edited to add that I could use some more Insuk's Wang Kong runner bean seeds...

[Earl]

bluemeadow...PM sent

will be leaving AZ tonight so if you do not hear from me in the next couple days...I should have access on Monday

[Earl]

back home, at library and checking in on trades!??

[jondear]

I have a rather short list of material to trade, but saving seed with population enough gives me more seed than I can use at this time...

* Orange endosperm flint corn... Early, mid and late season maturity. I expect and hope they crossed, otherwise I wasted my time carrying pollen😎

* Defiant x Big Beef f2... Last year the f1 performed well.

* Prize choi x rainbow lacinato f2 grew out some seed already, nice in salad mix... Weird as it sounds, tastes like Apple peelings... Lol

* Fortex x Northeaster pole bean f2. Grown in 2015

* Sweet corn grex "Treaty in Paris". Quite variable.

* Rockwell beans. Not isolated from other dry beans. Early

* Kabocha squash landrace. Mostly green skin with the occasional orange one.

* True potato seed

* Poblano x jalapeño f2 seed



Will trade for almost anything you've worked on. "Purity" is of no concern to me as long as there is no GMO contamination.
