Seed swap

What an awesome idea! Right now the only thing I would have to offer is Jewelweed, in limited quantity as I am competing with finches for the seeds and Himalayan Balsam, which is the same family, but with more food applications than the smaller Jewelweed.

I also save seeds from year to year and usually have small quantities that I could trade (or even donate to the right people). I am in Western NC--just almost in a temperate rainforest--so many of my seed stocks might not work in other locations. A short list of what I have in small quantities: Old Timey Mountain White Half Runners (a family heirloom seed stock for 50 years, a very prolific, tender, traditional climbing green bean), White Bunch Beans (an early bush bean, also a 3 generation heirloom), okra (family heirloom--no idea of specific type, been planting and saving seed for 3 generations), and a very prolific, large type of cooking pumpkin (unknown variant, again, been planting and saving seeds for 3 generations--it makes a 20+ lb pumpkin that is light orange/salmon in color and is excellent for making pumpkin butter and pies...). I usually have tomato seeds for heirloom Hillbilly's Stripeys small yellow cherries, small red cherries, small yellow pears and others but I harvested no tomatoes this year and thus no extra seeds due to an over-abundance of rain that caused all my tomato plants to die--maybe next year! Anyone need anything my email is backcountrymedic2 at gmail

Can we come back to this again at the end of this growing season? It would be nice to have a big seed swap in the community! I will have lots of Northern acclimated seed for those in that climate.
