Seed Traders Thread!!!
 



This thread will be a spot for members to discuss & arrange seed trades with other members. :D





You can list the seeds you want and also the seeds you have to offer. Frankly, I have too many to list, so I'll just start with my most recent.


Here are some new seeds I got yesterday that some folks could be interested in. I thought I'd show pictures...









































I also have some passiflora varieties to share too, but I'll check out my supplies and list what else I have soon. I'm also getting more new seeds shortly...








Feel free to list your seeds too and discuss trading here. It'll be neat to find out about the seeds others
have. :goteam:

How do you have room for all this? Is there any food in your fridge or just seeds?:ha:

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Nevermind the smart-ass wisecracks today mister...what seeds have you got to trade?


You're on the blacklist anyway...no seeds for you! :ha:


Plplthplplplplplpplth!!!

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
I always want to participate in all the threads that I can, and do have a ton of seeds. At this very moment I have a lap kitty and cannot disturb the QUEEN to get new pictures. I promise I will get some new pictures to post here soon, but will post these that I have already taken just to get started.



A lot of my seeds aren't in pretty packs though. They are some I have gathered and saved from my own plants or gotten more than I can use from prior trades.

So, to be accurate and not rely on my swiss cheese memory, I will have to sit down on the floor with my big seed bin and my computer to type in the varieties.

This will be a fun thread! Thanks Sherry!

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Blacklist is my middle name!:ha: Frankly I have to admit I got most of my seeds from you and most recently JaNan sent me some great stuff..... I'll have to go check out my seed storage file in the root cellar.

The Hollyberry Lady 03-19-2011 05:04 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
JaNan...I want some of those peppers, but just pick me out the seeds that look like they came from a white variety. :ha:


I'm hoping this thread might bring a lot of seed traders together. ;)


I'll show a few more shots of some stuff I have available shortly...


: )

Jananas Bananas 03-19-2011 05:15 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Yeah Sherry, I wish I knew which was which. But maybe by fall I can have some white ones for sure!

I have a lot of Esperanza AKA Yellow Bells seeds. I don't have any pictures of my own but here are a lot of nice ones when I Googled it!

esperanza plant - Google Search

And a few left of one of my favorite evergreen bushes, Texas Mountain Laurel!

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
I've also got these ones available for trade too:


"Caerulea" passiflora...





These are the most stunning marigolds you'll ever grow and even though the seeds are ridiculously priced, they are well worth it. I've got extras for trade...





These ones are fun to grow...





Florida Star strawberries...

I've also got lots of "Masquerade" hot pepper seeds, collected from the fruits of my plant from a previous season...

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
How do you grow those water lotus?

The Hollyberry Lady 03-20-2011 12:09 AM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Real easily, Dean! ;)


You just file the seeds a bit to allow moisture inside and then you put it in a dish of water. It'll sprout within 3 days if things are warm.


The plant can be grown in a container pond like I did one season. I even had minnows in the container to eliminate the algae & mesquito larvae. Here was mine so you can see if it's something you'd be interested in growing. It was still young in this shot but just so you can get an idea...





You bury the sprouted seedling about an inch below the soil in the container.


Half barrels are ideal to grow these plants in. If you'd like, I can send ya a seed or two. :D


: )

Dean W. 03-20-2011 12:12 AM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Hmmm! Thanks for the offer. I better not though. I can't grow everything.

The Hollyberry Lady 03-20-2011 12:44 AM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
If only I could learn that rule, Dean! :ha:


I like posting shots of the seeds I have available for trade, so people can know if they're interested in growing it. I suppose there's always google but I have pics of most of my stuff, so why the heck not. ;)


I also have a lot of "Amythest Beautyberry" seeds available too...

Goodies we have up for adoption:

SEEDS: (refrigerated)
Eriobotrya Japonica (Loquat)
Datura Wrightii
Nicotiana Rustica
Nicotiana Tabacum (also fresh n. tabacum currently in blossom)

And:
Loquat seedlings from 4" to 24" tall.
Will be "parting out" a hefty Blue Java corm, replacing it with something shorter.
Allium Tuberosum (Garlic Chives) some seed, but mainly bulbs/plants. (they grow like weeds here)

Looking for:
Veinte Cohol
Dwarf Namwa
Panache / Tiger fig
:03:

The Hollyberry Lady 03-20-2011 08:04 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
I have a Veinte Cohol plant and hoping it will produce pups this season. :08:


Oh yeah, I also have Wisteria seeds....both Chinese and Japanese Floribunda. Plus I have purple Castor Bean plant seeds too. :D

Wish I had my Veinte Cohol, it got set back by winter. But I have my fingers crossed it will re-grow.:lurk:

Is the Mammoth Russian the real tall type? If so how tall does it get?

The Hollyberry Lady 03-22-2011 12:47 AM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Yes, they are huge Dean...like 10 feet tall!!! :eek: The flowers are 10-14" in diameter and are produced on tree trunk like stems. :ha:


May require staking due to the weight of the seed head.

Dean W. 03-22-2011 12:48 AM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
I'll pm you!:woohoonaner:

The Hollyberry Lady 03-22-2011 12:51 AM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Oh and I also have some flatleaf Italian parsley which I prefer over the curly forest green type.





I can easily share those sunflower seeds with you Dean! I'm shocked you're interested in something so huge. I just got them for trading but I'm not intending to grow them. :ha:


They're just too damn big! :eek:


Glad you seem to like them though...I knew someone would. ;)

The Hollyberry Lady 03-31-2011 02:34 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Cool Dean...thanks a bunch. ;)


If there's anything you else you want, please don't be shy. I've posted more since we talked last, so if anything else catches your eye, be sure to let me know...

:waving: Hi Seed traders!

Sherry those Bells of Ireland are stunning! My niece used them in her wedding bouquet and I got to take some home with me to put in vases. I loved them. Can you tell me what zones are they rated for? And have you eve grown them yourself? Difficulty? I like that Dark Opal basil too! It looks black it is so dark!

Bob3 I would like to try some loquat seeds if there is anything I have you might be interested in.

Dean is that pequin pepper that is native to Texas and can just stay out year round as a perennial bush? If so I would like to try them. Sherry are those the same as the Texas bird or something like that - that you have? I think we were talking about it in the hot pepper thread one evening.

Penny, I need you to PM your mailing address for your Hot Marble Pepper seeds if you still want some and Blake I will be mailing your seeds tomorrow. I think that will have me caught up then.

~JaNan

The Hollyberry Lady 03-31-2011 03:12 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
I have lots of Loquat seeds too...I got them from Zac! :D


I can surely send you some of the dark opal basil seeds too JaNan, but I've grown it and it's a dark purple with bronze in it sometimes too. It's my mom's favorite. ;)


Yes JaNan, I wondered the same thing about Dean's bird peppers...if they were the same as the Texas Bird ones I have...which never came up for me, by the way. Not one! :( I got the seeds from someone else so maybe they were too old...not sure. Still waiting but it's been three weeks already.


Ok let me get the seed packet for the Bells of Ireland ad I'll be back...


: )

Dean W. 03-31-2011 05:06 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Hey JaNan,

Yes, those are the native peppers/ bird peppers that survive most winters outdoors. My hands were very hot w/ the oil after removing the fruit pod.

I'll PM you about where you can get some.

Jananas Bananas 03-31-2011 05:17 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
OK Dean! Thanks! I've been keeping an eyeball peeled for the bushes and hadn't seen any yet! :ha:

~JaNan

The Hollyberry Lady 03-31-2011 05:56 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
Ok about the Bells of Ireland...

It's an heirloom favorite annual and it's excellent for drying. It grows 2 feet and blooms in summer in full sun. It reaches 2 feet tall.

I've never grown them before and the seed packet says nothing about appropriate zones, so you might have to google some info, JaNan.


: )

Jananas Bananas 03-31-2011 06:07 PM

Re: Seed Traders Thread!!!
 
OK Sherry I will, They are very, very beautiful in person I have to say. If I can grow them here I may want to take a shot at them. I have never seen them here anywhere, so that probably means no. :( ~J

seeds. :D
