If anyone interested in growing them please let me know here or Pm and I'll mark them for you. I will not send them for general swap because I don't want them to end up in the toilet.

It would likely be best to send in small packs for those that request it, and one bulk pack, which I won't throw out. There are almost always late requests for varieties, and I could make up a few packs, if necessary. If it's not on someone's list, they are not getting it.

It's almost like Yellow Pear!

I'm sending in:

Shadow Boxing Dwarf (3 packs)
Soul Patch Dwarf (5 packs)
Aladdin's Lamp (5 packs)
Cherokee Green Pear (3 packs)
Butterscotch Beefsteak (4 packs)
Black Cherry (3 packs)
Black from Tula (3 packs)
Black Beauty (2 packs)
NOT Kozula 179 (it grew large beautiful orangish-red tomatoes that were absolutely delicious) (22 packs)
Jalapeno Mild Pepper (2 packs)
Banana Pepper (2 packs)
Rosa Bianca Eggplant (2 packs)
Ashley Cucumber (2 packs)

How big of plant does Lempi Chocolate get?

indeterminate, but not huge like sungold and the like can get.

oops on there now

WARNING , SPOILER ALERT, DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU LIKE SURPRISES !

hi everyone,

I wasn't going to post a spoiler alert but since I am almost done drying seeds it occurred to me to perhaps send in some " common" flower seeds from my garden I save every year and some who do not already have it may want it. Please add them to your wish list or post here so I have an idea if anyone wants them and, if so, how many packs to send in.

Cleome - I've been saving seed from these for more than 15 years since I got seeds from my grandmother's garden in Tennessee before she passed. They reseed like crazy and attract pollinators to my garden.

I will also send in:

Bronze fennel - host plant for swallowtail butterflies.

Chocolate Joe Pye Weed

Not So Dwarf French Marigold - I have been saving my marigold seeds for 15+ years , every year they put on a show and get almost 3 feet tall so I labeled them Not So Dwarf ....

Any interest in Hosta seeds ? I can send some in if anyone wants some ?

Update: I thought I was sending in some Mimosa tree seeds but I discovered the birds have poked holes in almost all of them !

I am only going to post a few tomato seeds I am sending in so some will be a surprise.

Cowboy
Buzau 22
California Sun Gold
Raspberry Beret
Rebel Alliance

sending in double blue butterfly pea vine (flower) and Zinnias!

Empress GMO 25 packs of about 20-24 seeds/pack

Lovely Lush 2 packs (I was short on these seeds, but didn't see this on the master list)
Orange Peach 20 packs
Pink Jazz
Porterhouse (stabilized from hybrid, 16 packs, only one plant this year, but it is a great producer!)
Tropical Sunset 14 packs, one of my favorite cherry tomatoes

Peppers:
Orange Habanero 1 pack
Purple Beauty Bell 1 pack

Other:
Paw Paw tree seeds 1 pack, keep cool and moist, currently in my fridge, treated with 10% bleach to prevent mold
Egyption Walking Onion bulblets ( 1 or 2 packs, noticed the request, last yet to pack, not sure how to best wrap these)
Edit: I have both bulbs well dried, and ones outside with green tops that I expect are best for fall planting.
I have both large ones, and the tiny ones that often form in a 2nd cluster.
I guess I'll package one dry, and one with green tops, mostly tiny for numbers.
They are fairly light, but I don't want to run up the postage if there isn't a large demand.
Once they are in a community, they multiply like rabbits! Thanks Tormato for the advice!
I'll also pack one bulk pack of garlic chive seeds for Tormato, however these are better shared locally by dividing clumps.
The seeds are notorious for low germination after the first year. I'll send the marigold seed I brought in a few weeks ago to dry,
and save the most recent for myself that are still outdoors.

Any interest in garlic chive seeds, or is this a weed for most folks? I eat them from early spring through late fall.
I also have some tall marigold seeds, yellow and orange if desired.
