2023/2024 wish lists

[Tormahto]

For tomatoes, participants may pick up to 25 specific varieties. After that, list the types of tomatoes you'd like (and the types of tomatoes you do not wish for, if any).

This thread is also for wish lists of peppers, either specific varieties, or types.

It is also for any other fruit/veggie/flower seed, although specific varieties very well may not be available. The coming "spoiler alert" thread is where participants can post what they will be sending in. Picking from those lists for your wish lists gives a much better chance of receiving what is requested. It can't all be guaranteed, as sometimes requests exceed seeds sent in.

When posting a wish list, please post just one message, and then edit it the 100 or more times if necessary. When you say you've edited your list for the last time, I'll wait for your next, and final, editing.

It would be greatly appreciated if I receive a paper copy of your wish list and sending in list along with your seeds.

For the Nifty Fifty (sending in either 50 packs of a single variety, or roughly 25 packs each of two varieties, mostly tomatoes, perhaps a few peppers), requires an OK from me in a private PM. Please do not post what you would be sending into that category of the swap, as some of the MMMM should remain a mystery.

Right now I'm pretty set on tomatoes, so I'm also throwing out a list of natives that interest me in case anyone happens to have them growing on their property and could collect them for the next swap. Also I added a few at the bottom that I could potentially collect adn send in if there's an interest.

My wish list:

Tomato:
-Orange Ghabbana

Other:
-Musk strawberry (seeds from larger fruited variety like Capron)

Midwest, NE Native berries & wildflowers:
-Native Purple Phlox (Phlox paniculata, Phlox divaricata, Phlox stolonifera, etc.)
-Jerusalem Artichoke (true seed from different strain) (Helianthus tuberosus)
-Prairie Dock
-Wild Daylilies
-Wild Iris
-Wild American Black Currant
-Wild blackberries that produce well
-Wild huckleberries and blueberries
-Wild ramps

Native prairie grass:
-Big bluestem
-Indian Grass
-Squirrel Tail
-Other ecological & ornamental native grasses

What I have and could collect seeds from:

What I could potentially collect & submit to Mmmm if there's an interest (need to know ASAP if there's an interest because there are narrow collection windows & some require moist stratification):
-Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)
-Celandine Poppy (Stylophorum diphyllum)
-Wild Ginger (maybe) (Asarum canadense)
-Wild Chicory (Cichorium intybus)
-Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana)

Don't go and overdo it,

but I'm interested in ramps, paw paw, and Jerusalem artichoke most, then blueberries, huckleberries, blackberries, and strawberries. I don't know what musk strawberry is, but I'll look it up.

Sorry if my original post was confusing. I just edited it so it's hopefully more clear. The list on the bottom is what I have and can collect whereas the lists above are what I'd love to have if someone happens to have easy access to plants growing in their yard.

I'll make a point then of saving Paw Paws, Jerusalem Artichokes, and Wild Strawberries since I have those readily available and can add others if there's interest. My Paw Paws are wild natives, but they're of good quality, not far off from some of the named cultivars I've sampled. Another thing I didn't list is I do have rust resistant European Black Currents that I could also save seeds from. All of these listed are easy access for me, so no problem at all.

[OhioGardener]

-Big bluestem

I can send in seed for this, but it's a huge plant. Taller than sunflowers.

Oooo...I'd be most appreciative. I have an area that I'm trying to convert into a native tall grass prairie with native species for conservation. Thank you!

[Tormahto]

I have many wild blueberry bushes in the yard, neglected the past two years. Mostly high bush, but some low bush. I'll have to likely use netting on them, in order to save berries and seeds. I have one high bush that is of the so-called "black" type, as it has no cloudy cast on the berries, it's just a somewhat shiny black color. I currently cannot recall the latin name for this type.

Lots of huckleberries about 3 miles down the road, but I don't recall when they ripen, meaning another thing to look up.

Then there is the mountaintop swamp about 5 miles away, 1 1/2 miles of paved road, 1 1/2 miles of dirt road, and two miles of steep, rough, rocky hiking trails, to get to. Hundreds of high bush blueberries surrounding the swamp. Ticks, mosquitoes, coyotes, bears, moose (singular, so far), rattlesnakes, the very rare mountain lion, and the most dangerous of all, gun toting drug dealing humans, are possible sightings.

My high bush blueberries are from cuttings of plants from that swampy area. Some blueberry bushes are very old. The moose beds down under one of them, having a trunk about 6 inches in diameter, and being about 16 feet high.

If I can, I'll take a hike up there, this year. I haven't gone there in about 4 years. To get to the swamp, I have to pass through the dry areas, where there are plenty of low bush blueberries. Roughly, the 1st of July is when I first go looking for ripe berries.

Don't press your luck with the bears or the druggies, but I'd love to have some seeds if they're not too much of a pain to collect. Especially the black-fruited variety because I favor the wilds for their extra high anthocyanin levels, but any wild type is good. The black variety may actually not be a blueberry, but a close edible relative - Gaylussacia baccata.

I think I also found a solution for keeping the birds I looked up the height which is only supposed to be about 6 feet, so it should be fairly easy if I plant them next to my deck. The mesh on these bags allows water and light through, but is small enough to also use as an insect barrier to prevent crossing on tomatoes or peppers.

Now, I just have to get my garden back on track. I'm re-starting seeds tonight after having an eye stroke last weekend and being hospitalized for a few days. Unfortunately it meant my seed trays dried out, but tomatoes grow fast once the trays can be set in natural sunshine. At least the sunflower bed is clear and ready to be planted in a few weeks.

[OhioGardener]

Based on responses, bloodroot and wild strawberries (Fragaria virginiana) are being collected now. Later in the season, mother nature permitting, I'll be collecting Paw Paw and true Jerusalem Artichoke seeds. This won't be all that I'll send in. Just the desirable wild plants that I have growing on my property. The Lakomka sunflowers unfortunately are going to be iffy. While worrying about birds, chipmunks managed to dig up and eat every seed I've planted so far. Currently re-starting Lakomka seeds in peat pots indoors for transplant...

Please keep me updated on any paw paw seed harvest. I do not recommend that you stratify the seeds. It should be up to the seed requester to do so. And, looking at various websites, there is no agreement on how long it takes. The range is anywhere from 60 days up to 120 days. !00 to 120 days is what I've seen. I've been in a few swaps that offered paw paw seeds. There were usually only about 2 to 4 people requesting seeds.

Even though there is no guarantee of seeds at this point, it would be best for participants to put it on their wish lists well in advance of the swap.

I normally wouldn't, but Paw Paw and Blood Root require special handling in order to remain viable. What are your thoughts?
They can't be allowed to dry out and Blood Root may also require cold-warm-cold in order to break the dormancy. I store these seeds in moist sphagnum moss in the refrigerator and will provide brief instructions. Paw Paws didn't have a lot of blooms this spring, but I have 5 acres of them, so I should be able to grab a sharable amount of seeds.
