I have some old seeds that I’d like to offer to the community. Some of them are from projects that I have been unable to make progress on; others are from the earlier stages of successful projects. Below are photos with descriptions. If you are interested, send me a PM with a list of what you want; I will then ask you to email me a paid shipping label. A box of pods from a planting of “Millwood” Honey locust. They are quite old, but I’ve heard that Honey locust seeds are long lived, and when I planted some out three years ago they germinated. Millwood was a variety developed for improved pods; seeds from it will be variable, some may be thorny. ![2026-01-19 11.16.53](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/3X/3/c/3c74b2626ddd95a250f899755f8b6fcf70baa36e.jpeg) Very old heirloom tomato seeds from relatives. ![2026-01-19 12.34.27](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/3X/2/c/2c44725ca6a969efc224ef459bbeccf2cf7fcc03.jpeg) Old seed from a citron x watermelon project I was working on with some of the folks at the old Homegrown Goodness Forum, before GtS was a thing. ![2026-01-19 11.33.01](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/3X/c/f/cf528ca73303ddddb8224774740f6d0f9fbb8fab.jpeg) Commercial or semi-commercial (GtS) seed that I won’t have a further use for, in most cases because I’m now growing out my own seed derived from what I bought (though the rice was a failure for me.) ![2026-01-19 11.32.00](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/3X/8/c/8c4691cf323ee290c0b969ee7fb6d4b9a29a07fc.jpeg) Some very fairly old corn seed, from Joseph Lofthouse. I lost access to the larger patch of land that would have made it possible to grow out. ![2026-01-19 11.30.52](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/3X/c/b/cba876f8a1fbefa292acac3854821085383fd6db.jpeg) Other old seed from Joseph Lofthouse, purchased before GtS was founded. In many cases, I grew out seeds from these packets to start my own strains. ![2026-01-19 11.30.04](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/3X/8/2/82e332f75240dbc361884681d47dd557b1a86963.jpeg) Seeds I was given to start a pea breeding project by a participant of the Home Grown Goodness Forums. I’ve contacted him to see if he wants them back, so there will be a bit of a delay if you want them. Seed is quite old, probably around 8 years old if I remember right. ![2026-01-19 11.28.08](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/3X/d/e/de34f098e0eb540f0aed0ba093f1d4a8e7947519.jpeg) ---

Wow! You might see about getting on the seed box list, then you can add them to the box. when I had the box last year, I pulled seeds labeled for 2018 and those years, and some have sprouted just fine! Esp the tomatoes. Its an idea ---

I would be interested in the cucumbers, muskmelons, carrots, moschata squash, and the lofthouse landrace dry bush beans if any of those are still available. Also just some of the citron x watermelon seed - I don’t need nearly as much as is pictured. ---

@MarkReed Do you still have any of the bean seeds left? Or have they all been claimed by now?
