I like seed starting, so it just makes sense.

I have been organic gardening for about a year. its going okay.

i have some stuff down here in Costa Rica that might interest some folks.

I always save more than I can use.

results in a plant that is illegal in most states. Having said that, feel free to PM me if you're interested.

- Tommy Chong in "Up In Smoke"

Uh okay...bonghits 4 Jayzuss...

I just saw this. Well, bless your heart. Enjoy your stay, Sparky.

On edit: "Posting privileges revoked." Well, color me surprised.

Okay, where I live (I don't know the name of zone) it has been unusually warm this winter. To the point where I was just SURE our weather karma was waiting for us in March! Having seen the forecast for the next week (with temps some days in the 70s!), I am wondering if it's too early to start planting. I mean, what if we get a blizzard in a couple of weeks--would that destroy any sprouting plant?

Some things like beans and corn will just rot in cold wet soil. You can start things indoors and let them enjoy sunny days in pots, but bring them in when it gets cold - freezing temps (32 and below) will kill most everything (except the cole family, perhaps beets and lettuce - though any growth would be harmed).

I know how tempting it is - we are due for solid 70s, near 80, for the next 15 days - still a surprise frost would ruin everything! I've got lots of stuff growing, but comes into the garage if freezing temps are forecasted

D'oh! I forget that we can just start things in little pots! (I'm a newbie!

Tomatoes- heirlooms including pineapple with a fruit that can weigh up to 2 lbs and is so sweet, non acidic. Brandy wine, money maker. Zucchini, summer squash, butternut, cukes, basil, purple plum radish, arugala, blue Hubbard, jalapeño, green emerald and purple peppers.... Lots more

Would love to do a seed exchange for the 2013. Message me if interested.

My cilantro finally sprouted! I had forgotten I had planted it!

Nice info. Thanks for sharing . I love gardening work.

I have a surplus of fresh grass seed.

One is shade grass, and the other is called "the Dominator" (It's for sunny areas)

Anyway, I'd be happy to share some with a DUer.

my saved seed is 2-4 years old at this point, but I've got small amounts of schronce's black skinned peanuts, japonica corn (striped leaves, dark purple ears), calypso beans (half black, half white), seeds from a decent sized, thick-walled white pumpkin, variety unknown, blauschokker peas, moon and stars watermelon, and what looked to be small white lima beans (which were supposed to be something totally different according to the package, but when harvested sure look like small white limas Also some of what I think are dragon's tongue beans, but can't recall, I'd have to replant and wait to harvest to be sure.

I have Zucchini, Yellow squash, Long of Naples squash, pumpkin, and Greek red squash seeds to trade if anyone is interested. All seeds GMO free
Just PM me your email address

Thanks bunches for the welcome. My husband had been a member for a long long time. He saw the gardening group and I jumped at the chance.

hope you have fun and we all can learn from each other!

I grew many more things from seeds this year, but, of course, I didn't need most of the seeds, even in the tiny packets I bought. Still, I saved a ton of money. I plan to use those seeds for starts again next year, but I'll still have plenty left over.

Cheers!

onions just a few, tomatoes as long as 12-14...most are in between.

I love to share seeds with folks, but things are pretty busy - if someone contacts me, I am happy to share some.

I am just starting my seed saving for the season - ground cherry, a few tomatoes so far.

I hate wasting them, but I also don't want to waste resources I don't have in order to avoid wasting them.

Still, all right, I'm buying tomato seeds for next year, and apparently, the year after, and the year after that. That's one veggie I still bought starts for this year. Thanks!

I've sent thousands of samples of seeds to folks over the years - one of the main tomato people in the Seed Savers Exchange.

If you ever want to try some really cool stuff, let me know. Also a big eggplant and pepper seed collection.

It would be great to try grow some tomatoes. (It's funny that I say that, noting how many of the buggers replant themselves most winters.) Still... Cheers!

Is this still active?
