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.

Yes, the fragrant ones. Height doesn't matter.

Looking through Fedco -
Eastern Magic broccoli
Gypsy broccoli
Cylindra beets
Borage

Flowers -
Beneficials Mix organic flowers
China Aster Princess Mix (Crego Mix), (Matsumato Mix)
Drumstick Flower
Four O'Clocks
Globe Amaranth
Lupine - My Castle
Lupine - Red Ryssekk
Strawflowers - Monstrosum fire ball

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

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.

Melon
Watermelon
Basil
Okra
Eggplant (Asian)
Zinnia
Cosmos
Winged Bean
Yard Long Bean
Arugula
Amaranth

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!!!)

Have you asked in the Heirloom Bean group on Facebook about the beans you want to try?

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

I will add to my forum thread wish list. Thank you.
My box with seeds I'm sending in already got mailed out today. It just might make it before the recommended deadline

Yes there is, Heirloom Bean Addicts Anonymous is actually the correct name https://www.facebook.com/groups/HBAA1
Russel Crowe is a member, he is the owner of "A Bean Collector's Window" website in case you haven't found it yet https://www.abeancollectorswindow.com/index.html

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!
