I am starting to plant things in preparation for the coming year's garden - have lots of things I can share - some unusual flowers, lots of experimental sweet peppers and some hot peppers and experimental eggplant, and of course, lots of tomatoes.

I will post a list here later on tonight.

Who else wants to share/swap some of their treasured garden seeds?

Here is a list of seeds that I am happy to share - will indicate which are the most "first come first served" due to relatively low numbers of seed.

Flowers:

Hibiscus - coccinea (tall growing, perennial, red flowers), sunset (tall growing, best as an annual, yellow flowers with magenta center) - both are very easy from seed.

Columbine - saved from pods of plants growing at a garden in western NC - mix of purple and pink shades - perennial, bloom second season, not as easy to germinate (freeze seed, barely cover, needs light, takes a long time)

Veggies:

Eggplant - various saved seeds from hybrids - name the color and shape - I've got eggplant with green, black, lavender, pink and striped skin colors - long (bulbous type) to slender. They are so easy to grow well, especially in 5 gallon pots. Biggest issue is flea beetles early in the season.

Sweet Peppers - various saved seeds, name the color and shape - bell, long (frying type), ripe colors of red, yellow, and orange; unripe colors of green, yellow or purple.

Hot Peppers - various saved seeds, again - name the color, shape, size and heat level. too many kinds to list.....

Tomatoes - can share seeds of Cherokee Purple, Cherokee Chocolate, Brandywine, Red Brandywine, and Lucky Cross at the very least - or you can name the color/size you are looking for and I can see what my seed supply is.

List what you want in this thread (specify from me) - and PM me your mailing address.
