Well, I always end up the year with far more seed than I can use. I have a couple of seed swap groups, but I'm also plenty willing to just send you a gift of seeds.
If you would like to see what the seeds turn into, here's a collection of garden pics. This is my FB garden album, and it's open to public view like the rest of my profile (you have to be a friend to post, though.) WARNING: I do like bugs, there will be some bug pics there (no spiders at the moment, though.)
I HAVE:
Dill (for the love of little apples, take it.)
Castor Oil: this is a BIG plant. Don't let anyone lie to you. It's lovely, but it's easily my height. The roots are exceptional at keeping burrowers away from the area, though, so I use them to fence in my garden.
Mouse-melons.
Mixed sunflowers (classic, lemon, bi-color, burnt and red) - this one's dependent on the finches leaving me enough seed-heads.
Decorative gourd - small (about fist-sized) pale cream with dark green stripes.
Spaghetti squash, guaranteed clean. It was the only gourd growing in my garden at the time.
Thai Golden round melon. NOTE: This guy is incredibly finicky to grow. I put down 10-15 seeds and got a bare two plants, not that it's slowed them down any.
Sweet mini-peppers, guaranteed clean. This seed was saved from the supermarket variety of snack pepper, and it does breed true.
Aswad Eggplant: This monster eggplant is huge, gorgeous, and sturdy as Pit.
LESS DESIRABLE:
Surprise tomatoes (cross-pollinating might have happened).
Surprise bell peppers (cross-pollinating might have happened).
I CAN GET:
Mixed morning-glory: I have Blue Star, Grandpa Ott and a couple other varieties growing in the farm, but I can't promise a specific one. NOTE: These dudes are stupid invasive. Plant with care.
Cockscomb and Jewel-of-Opar: Gorgeous little annuals, reseed like rabbits on Lovecraftian hormones.
I'LL TAKE:
Nothing at all, if you don't have it.
Any wild poppies.
Any native wildflowers.
Rare morning-glories, particularly double-cultivars.
Red lettuces.
Weird tomatoes.
Sweet peppers.
Exceedingly hot peppers. (If you have access to peter peppers, I'll sell you my pinkies for seeds.)
Clean corn, particularly shoepegs and brightly colored ones.
Any herbs, particularly lavenders.
Surprise me. As long as it's not kale, I'm interested!
