Sweet peas as in the non-edible flowering plans?

I think some Noir des Carmes came in late, and I know that Jewels of Opar will get into your package.

Is anyone interested in lemongrass seed?
I would be interested in the lemon grass. I'm learning to cook Thai food and finding lemon grass around here is a rare find.

Kind of overdid it today in my seed buying trip, $212. :oops:

Shortly, I'll post what is available.

Suggestions for seed saving this year...

Herbs - the more exotic or "rare" the better. There will always be a much higher demand for Mrs. Burn's Lemon basil, than Lemon basil.

Lettuce and other greens, especially Asian greens.

Peas - snap, snow, shelling in that order, with few requests for soup/dry peas.

Tomatoes - that super tasty unknown to just about everyone variety, 20 to 50 packs, if you're up to it, would go a long way in making the swap successful.

Unfortunately, I've had no time in the past year plus to even look at catalogs, paper and online, to order seeds. Maybe this upcoming winter.

Please add anything you might be looking for.

Is there anyone from Canada in the group that might consider ordering from a Canada only shipping seed Company -- Heritage Harvest Seeds? And has Paypal??? Reason I ask is because I'm a beanaholic in US and there's 3 rare bean varieties they have that I can't find for sale in the US that I'm dieing to grow. I'd pay for the order & postage but share the seeds between me and the group. Just thot I'd throw this out there & give it a whirl. It's not like I don't have plenty other varieties to grow (thank you Gary!!!)

I recommend that you put them on your wish list, if you haven't already.

I didn't know there was a fb bean group. I've tried searching previously but apparently didn't use the right wording. thank you so much!
