USDA Zone 6-9 (\*Note, Tender shoots not frost hardy & may leaf out too early).] - **Ruby Red Kiwi** (_Actinida chinenis_) [Just as Delicious as Golden Kiwi but with a Red Berry Twist (Like Silverberry x Raspberry). USDA Zone 6-9 (\*Note, Tender shoots not frost hardy & may leaf out too early).] - **Green Kiwi Berry** (_Actinida arguta_) [Delicious Kiwi Berry (Just as sweet as golden kiwi, sometimes sweeter). I mega enjoy eating these but they must be wrinkly other wise SUPER Sour (The Bite you back pineapple type of Sour). Among the best berries I’ve tried. USDA Zone 4-8.] - **American Wild Grape** (_Vitis vulpina or aestivalis_) [Small Very Sour Grapes with Nice Crunchy Seeds, sadly there’s barely any sweetness. Foragers say these make Really Good Grape Jelly. I Mostly just eat them as is or add into my oatmeals. The Crunchy seeds are the best part of this grape in my opinion. USDA Zone 4-8] - **Kyoho Japanese Grape** (_Vitis vinifera x labrusca_) [Japanese Cultivated Grapes that are an Interspecfic Hybridized Cultivar. These taste Sweet & Fantastic, however seeds are not nice & Crunchy like the wild species. USDA Zone 5-9.] - **Bronze Muscadine Grape** (_Vitis rotundifolia_) [Muscadine Grapes are Fragrant! Especially when fully ripe, super delectable smell with flavor just as delectably sweet! The skins are thicker but when fully ripe they slip easily, the pulp inside is mostly not sour, it’s the skin that is. Both Skin & All edible except the seeds, which in this species taste bitter if Crushed. USDA Zone 6-9.] - **Black Muscadine Grape** (_Vitis rotundifolia_) [Just like the Bronze Muscadine Grape but slightly better tasting, both very Sweet with candy-like musky flavor. They also tend to slip easier altho that could just be dependent on ripeness. USDA Zone 6-9.] **Trees/Shrubs** - **Spicebush** (_Lindera benzoin_) [Lots of diversity in berry shapes form wild foraging. Excellent Spice is made from dried berries of this shrub. Entire berry edible seed & all but the seed is spicy & Flavorful, unripe green berries also edible & act as a Breath Freshener. The flesh of berry is oily & also nicely flavored. Dried & grinned together as an allspice substitute. Both Male & Female Plants required for fruit set, just graft a male branch onto female bush. USDA Zone 4-9. Extremely not interesting to Deer.] - **Staghorn Sumac** (_Rhus typhina_) [Excellent Sour-Lemon Flavored berries in Summer! I make Sumacade out of these berries, a delicious Lemonade type drink. Can also be dried to make Sumac Spice. Tree to Shrub Bush. USDA Zone 4-8.] - **Winged Sumac** (_Rhus copallina_) [Different species of sumac, also makes delicious sour berries but in late summer or early fall. Useful to Extend Sumac Season! Shorter than Staghorn Sumac. USDA Zone 4-10] - **Nannyberry** (_Viburnum lentago_) [I’ve got 2 differnt phenotypes. Both taste good like dired Plums x Banana flavor. Berries have annoying hard seed in middle but they can spat out easily.] - **Kousa Dogwood** (_Cornus kousa_) [Delicious Fruits in Later Summer that range in flavor & Texture. Some are sandy, fleshy, custard to juicy texture with flavors ranging from pawpaw, tropical, Sweet, etc. Just tear fruit in half, Eat the flesh & discard the nasty skin. Tree has Big Flowers in Late Spring. USDA Zone 5-8.] - **American Persimmon** (_Diospyros virginiana_) [Persimmons are my FAVORITE Fruits, They taste Like Super Sweet Dates but in Soft-succulent Plum Shaped Fruits. Lots of diversity from wild trees, all taste SUPER GOOD. Fruits must be Soft otherwise are astringent. Needs Male & Female Trees to Fruit, just graft a male branch into Female Tree. USDA Zone 4-8.] - **Jujubee** (_Ziziphus jujuba_) [AKA Chinese Red Date when Dried. These are pretty much like Apples but with a Single Seed & No Sourness. Crisp Texture when Fresh/Green and if left to dry turns brown & taste much like dried apple slices. USDA Zone 5-10.] NO PHOTOS - **Red Silverberry** (_Elaeagnus pungens_) [ Red-Silver Berries with Sweet Berry Delicious Tomato Lycopene Flavor but without the Funky Vegetable Taste of Tomatoes (Not Fully Ripe Berries are Astringent). Seeds inside is also edible but takes a long time to chew thru that I often just spit it out. These are related to both Goumi & Autumn Olives and it taste similar, but what makes this species unique is it flowers in fall to ripen it’s fruits in Mid-Late Spring (At a time when no other berries are available). - **Black Gum Tupelo** (_Nyssa sylvatica_) [Nice edible berries but must be fully ripe other wise too sour. When Fully ripe they have a nice grape blueberry flavor. Just spit out the pit/seed like you do with cherries. Requires Male & Female Trees, just graft a male branch into female tree. USDA Zone 4-9.] - **Asian Mulberry** (_Morus alba_) [These berries are like Candy! Super Sweet Candy-Berry flavor! I saved seeds from Purple, White & Black Fruited types, meaning it’s a nice Mix! USDA Zone 4-8.] - **Yellow Rainer Cherry** (_Prunus avium_) [Delicious Cherries that are Sweet! Fully ripe fruits are Yellow-Bright Red, sometimes even pearly Yellow Peach color. Tree was Super Fruitful! USDA Zone 3-7.] - **American Juneberry** (_Amelanchier spp._) [Super Deliciously Sweet Soft Pome Berries that are a lot like Blueberries (In Texture & Flavor, not sour at all). Among my Favorite Berries! Plants are Hybrids of _A. canadensis_ x _A. arborea_ which explains why they had zero fungal diseases on fruits. USDA Zone 4-8.] - **Mexican Hawthorn** (_Crataegus mexicana_) [The Biggest Hawthorn fruit species in the world, these are delicious! The Flesh is **VERY** Dense, giving it a non-crisp smooth chewy texture, flavor-wise it’s like Apple but less sour & more brighter hawthorn flavor. Contains a lot of Pectin, explains why it’s so dense! USDA Hardiness Zone 8-9.] - **Pomegranate** (_Punica granatum_) [Slightly Sweet Pleasant tasting Juicy Arils around each seed. Seeds are also edible & Crunchy. These can be juiced. USDA Zone 8-12.] - **Mejool Date Palm** (_Phoenix dactylifera_) [SUPER SWEET FRUITS, these Taste like Candycorn but much richer & more Complex! These are my Favorite Dates & along with Persimmons are my Favorite Fruits in the whole world! Seeds Store & Germinate Well! USDA Zone 8-12.] - **Small Papaya** (_Carica papaya_) [Non GMO Papaya, Very Sweet flesh with no Funky Foot Taste. This is the papaya that made me love Papayas, before then I dismissed them because of the foot taste. Seeds also edible & taste EXACTLY like Spicy Mustard Seeds. USDA Hardiness Zone 9-12 (Can’t Handle Frost).] - **Mexican Yellow Guava** (_Psidium guajava_) [When Fully Ripe, It has a Sweet Creamy Vanilla like Flavor with Tropical Fruity Notes (Kind of Like a Mayapple). When Green & Not fully ripe, taste soapy so Eat when it’s fully Yellow with a few brown spots & When the Aroma Emitting from the fruit is STRONG. USDA Hardiness Zone 9-11 (Can’t Handle Frost)] - **Pink Guava** (_Psidium guajava_) [Pink Flesh inside, Delicious Strawberry Milkshake Flavor. A lot like the Yellow Guava just a bit more Sour, Rosey & Bigger. USDA Hardiness Zone 9-11 (Can’t Handle Frost)] - **Eastern Redbud** (_Cercis canadensis_) [Edible Pink Flowers in Spring, they have a pleasant acid flavor. USDA Zone 4-9] - **Black Locust** (_Robinia pseudoacacia_) [BEST TASTING FLOWERS! These are My favorite Edible Flowers in the world! Extremely Fragrant, they smell like they They taste, which is Very Sweet like Delicious Vanilla Nectar with Sweet Bean Nuances. Harvest couldn’t be simpler, just strip the flower cluster & eat raw or cooked! USDA Zone 4-9, this tree is a SAVAGE! Also makes really good quality Firewood!] - **Honey Locust** (_Gleditsia triacanthos_) [Fantastic Chop & Drop Tree (& Ecellent Firewood), sadly it’s Barely Edible. Pods do have Pulp inside that does smell & Taste Sweet but in a very weird strange medicinal like something I shouldn’t be eating way. I question the pulps edibility, however the seeds are edible cooked.] **Other** - **Wild American Yam** (_Dioscorea villosa_) [The American Yam adapted to Zone 7, unfortately makes no edible tubers (Despite being a Yam in the _Dioscorea_ genus). But could it be crossed to trigger tuber formation? Idk.] - **Wapato** (_Sagitaria latifolia_) [Aquatic Plant that makes big edible delicious potato-sweet corn-grapefruit tasting tubers. Greens & flower shoots when tender make excellent vegetables according to Sam Thayer.] - **Asian Lotus** (_Nelumbo nucifera_) [Epic Aquatic Plant with Huge Flowers, Delicious Nuts & Tubers. First 2 Photos of Flower & Fruit are taken from Wikipedia, the other 2 I took myself.] Feel free to share what you’ve got as well! I’d love to see your collection! ---

Great collection! I have a question for you and perhaps for others too. I see that some of your seeds are store-bought, correct? Have you already tried to grow **store-bought popcorn corn**? I have tried several times and no single seed germinated. I was told that such seeds, as for example blue popcorn ones are being treated with God knows what (radiation?) to be unable to germinate. And that the only chance to get the good ones is from the farmer’s market. Did you grow such corn successfully? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/4/42636ee3eec77fe4bb957c3e81f176546955a740.jpeg) ---

Thanks for taking all the time and work to do this. It would be really cool if there was an option to have something like this in every persons profile so we could easily see what is available to trade. Or even one consolidated page which could show every plant/seed available from every user in one location. ---

Since that everything has been low maintenance. I kind of gave up mid-way because the deer & Rabbits wouldn’t stop eating everything like Squash, Beans, Melons, Amaranth, Tomatoes, ect (But somehow the Corn didn’t, maybe deer don’t like Corn leaf-Texture?). ---

Deer don’t eat grass and corn is a grass. They will eat the corn seed of course. I am really surprised nothing got it as it was ripening.

> [@JinTX](#): > > Deer don’t eat grass and corn is a grass. They will eat the corn seed of course. > > I am really surprised nothing got it as it was ripening. The squirrels go crazy everytime I try to grow sweet corn. Yea I’ve heard deer would do that. I suspect the Deer & Squirrels simply didn’t know what corn was since nobody nearby ever planted it. I remember the squirrels would watch me from the trees, looking exactly for what seeds I would plant (In their minds, they were looking at what food I was hiding). Ever since I gave up on the Garden, the squireels lost interest & so did the deer. They were thinking “huh, Human is not here no more, he must’ve stoped planting food for us to eat, boring!!!”. Well at least that’s what I think happend. I don’t know why else the deer avoided eating the corn? Perhaps the poor pollination issues on my Corn Cobs didn’t yeild enough food for them to be interested? They did bite the tops of some corn plants off, but after they did that they stopped doing it, probably cuz it tasted really bad. I also remember I planted a Squash at the Forrest edge, Deer left it alone for the whole Summer until Fall came & Leaves were droping all around. They probably then noticed my squash & decided to give it a try. Afterwards the whole plant was defoliated. Squirrels, Groundhogs & Deer are why we can’t have nice things. I would’ve gladly fed them food if they left my Ninja Garden alone. ---

Wow! Any chance you’d be willing to trade with Canada (perfectly legal both directions, no documentation needed for reasonable quantities)? I’m interested in a few of your squash (Marina de Chioggia and your Trombocino especially). Also the sour melon is calling my name, would love some of your hot peppers…etc. I have a wild mix of very tasty maxima squash myself I can offer - my current favourite is a pretty multicoloured smallish pumpkin looking one that smells EXACTLY like canteloupe when cut into, and tastes like mild crunchy canteloupe when raw. Cooked it tastes more squashlike but with a fruity, nutmeg taste still. I kept all the seeds from that separate from the general “tasty mystery maxima” stash. Also have some giant seeded runner beans (phasoleus coccineus), various interesting coated pole beans, tomatillos (mostly yellows), ground cherries, sweet peppers, fennel, a whole bunch of different edible/medicinal flowers and herbs, feral garlic bulbils (and mayyybe true seed? Will have to search the flowers) , feral wild arugula that might appeal to you ---

Makes me wonder how close can we get squash to be a cantalope or if we can breed melons to have flesh so firm that It’s cooked like squash 😂. The super Juicy Squash I have was so juicy, it was a lot like a Cantaloupe in wetness but not in flavor. Perhaps crossing them both could make something very interesting. Do you also have any other kinds of Gourds/Squash/Melons/Watermelons/Cucumbers or any other Cucurbitaceae Family Crops?

What kinds of Pole & Runner beans do you have? Take some photos I’d love to see. ooo… I like Tomatillo & Groundcherries, what kinds of ground cherry do you have? Any wild species? How sweet are your sweet peppers? What kinds do you have? What kinds of Fennel do you have? (I’m super interested in Florence & Bronze/Purple Fennel). Please list all the Wild Edibles you have. The Feral Garlic sounds fantastic but I’m only interested in True Seed as I can’t store Garlic Bulbs or Bulbils in Plastic Bag, Same goes for any other Alliums you have Wild or Domestic. Wild Feral Arugula is awesome! Anything noteable about the taste? Is it a true Arugula (_Eruca sativa_) or is it another wild edible mustard weed that happens to be called arugula? I’m interested either way. What kinds of Tree seeds do you have? Do you have any Raspberries? What kinds of Grocery Stores do you have access to? What about Forrest or Wild Areas to forage seeds from? Feel free to list everything you have. I’m mostly interested in Edible plants wild or Domesticate. ---

Re: Maxima Squash. I started with a wide mix of seed packets (off the top of my head - Wild Mountain landrace, Lakota Landrace, GTS mix, Sibley Squash, Gete Okosomin, Buttercup) and planted them unlabelled to cross and surprise me. Mostly I’m collecting a handful of seeds out of every squash that is tasty as I open them up to eat and mixing everything together. Here is a pile of assorted squash - although the earliest varieties and largest have already been used: ![20241110_172716](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/7/75e1723f834781fc913f8d5b57d93a7f1916e3d2.jpeg) I’m only individually setting aside/labelling seeds from fruit that is super unique - ie the melon squash, and otherwise just letting everything mix up and surprise me as long as its tasty (melon squash was grown close to all the other varieties so probably the seeds will have varying genetics, but presumably some of that crazy melon influence will come through) I do have leftover seed packet seeds labelled with the original varieties if you want - my _guess_ is that the melon squash came from Wild Mountain seed…but that’s just a guess. Canteloupe squash is the prettiest multicolour pumpkin outside: ![20241110_173147](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/4/4eda79a54fc642fe06542c80f64a1cf9d7243031.jpeg) Other curcubits - I have a small quantity of Lodi squash ( another Curcubita Moschata X Maxima like honeynut) both in seed packet and the one adorable tiny squash I grew this year. Tiny Lodi squash: ![20241110_172837](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/d/d1bb69e65c6c0fc264197f42673a8e5154fe6f1d.jpeg) Also Curcubita Moschata - Canada Crookneck and Lunga de Napoli (both untested in my garden - next year Im adding Moschata to my squash patch) I’ve had TERRIBLE luck with cucumbers and melons the last couple years. Something keeps eating the young plants. I have various seed packet melon varieties. And mouse melons (melothria scabra) if the seeds are viable, huge harvest but dunno that any got ripe enough for botanical maturity. Will test I have seed packet bronze fennel, seed packet Grosfruchticher (green herb fennel, stronger and sweeter than bronze), and tons of whatever the mostly Grosfructicher x stray Bronze fennel that goes bonkers in my garden is. Fennel seed for tonight’s dinner. Delicious with rice: ![20241110_174005](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/6/6c62450d5e112f738d3432f8f3647d208028de1e.jpeg) Feral arugula is _Diplotaxis tenuifolia_, perennial arugula or wall rockette. I started a few named varieties 3-4 years ago…dunno if its my arugula that went feral or someone else’s but it’s all over not just my garden but the neighbourhood. Not complaining, it is delicious. Very nutty and robust I have a few different ground cherry/physalis varieties. The mainstream varieties plus whatever related species I could get my hands on last spring. All mixed up, I look forward to seeing what survives my zone 5/6 or volunteers back next year. My sweet peppers are pretty sweet and thick fleshed. I’m on year 3ish of selection, but adding more seeds each year. Named parents include Lesya Red and Lesya Orange, Etiuda, Red Shepherd, Holy Italian and Golden California. But again, I planted them unlabelled and let them cross, collected seeds from anything tasty and early together. I dont have fava beans handy for comparison but I’m pretty sure my runners are bigger. Here are some pole bean varieties next to the huge runners, and on the end some normal scarlet runner bean seeds: ![20241110_174937](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/4/4c4cc8d613e5e065a58701da8a1b5447c2d8ed6d.jpeg) I’ll go search for true garlic seed. I have some kind of super hardy softneck garlic that the previous gardener started. I dont even replant bulbs in fall, when pulling in summer it leaves behind outer bulbs so all I do is a little respacing in the spring (and moving stray garlic back into beds) and I get a years supply of garlic annually. I havent seen true seed but my guess is there must be some seed action because garlic keeps popping up all over the yard - bulbils arent that mobile… I’m in a pretty urban area but we have some decent woody patches and trails for foraging. I also have a few shrubs and trees of my own, and access to a few more in the local community garden. Unfortunately I hadnt been saving tree/shrub seeds for the most part so some of these may have to wait to next season, but let me know if you want them: I do have raspberries - a fall-bearing (“everbearing”) red variety from my own garden. Theres also both red and black raspberries growing wild along nearby trails I can forage. I also have purple-flowering raspberry (Rubus parvifolius) both in my own yard and wild. I have Concord grapes at the community garden and Manitoba grapes…everywhere. A few different kinds of blueberries and gooseberries scattered about. Lots of elderberries (Sambucus spp.) and Viburnum (Pimbina, Canadian Raspberry, etc), various types of serviceberries (Amelanchier). Also have Anise Hyssop, Marsh milkweed, butterfly milkweed, common milkweed, Leadplant, echinacea purpurea and pallida, hopefully my Spicebush will set seed soon. I spend a good bit of time at my parents in downtown Toronto, so grocery store wise I can probably find you almost anything you can dream up 😉 ---

WOW! Those all sound like such Fantastic Squash Varieties that blended into your maxima landrace. I’d love a lil mix of everything, they all look so beautiful! > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I do have leftover seed packet seeds labelled with the original varieties if you want Oh yes Please! I’d love those too! > [@LeeAngold](#): > > my _guess_ is that the melon squash came from Wild Mountain seed…but that’s just a guess. That’s a good guess, is the wild mountian seed the Gete Okosomin? From all the squash research I’ve done, melon flavor is new! Among all the species Flesh Color Ranges from a mix of White, Yellow, Orange, & Green. I wonder if Purple Flesh color is possible? That Cantaloupe Squash is Beautiful, such a good name for it! Another thing is Cantalope has Netting around & the Only Squash that somewhat has Netting is the Winter Luxary Pumpkin or if you stretch the French Worty Pumpkin as a style of Netting. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/b/bf6bf523201382ab2575df2c4423cc606c7ea2a3.jpeg) > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I have a small quantity of Lodi squash ( another Curcubita Moschata X Maxima like honeynut) both in seed packet and the one adorable tiny squash I grew this year. Tiny Lodi squash: That’s a very interesting Squash. Did you get a chance to taste it yet? This website lists it as a _C. moschata_, But it’s bred by the same guy at Cornell Univeristy who Bred the Honeynut. > **[Lodi Squash Seeds](https://www.row7seeds.com/products/lodi-squash-seeds)** > > An open-pollinated evolution of our beloved Koginut squash.

Canada Crookneck looks a lot like Tromboniccino Squash.

I have various seed packet melon varieties. Like an animal of some sort? Or an Insect? The Dosokai Melon is very Disease Resistent & Korean Melon not too far off. > [@LeeAngold](#): > > And mouse melons (melothria scabra) if the seeds are viable, huge harvest but dunno that any got ripe enough for botanical maturity. Will test Fully Ripe Seed Mature Mouse Melons are suppose to be Dark Green almost black in color, like this. Inside seeds are small. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/6/65ef86b594839616ac98afe4b774fdcd778e6384.jpeg) It seems that the fruits can darken off vine over time, so perhaps you can obtain Viable seeds if you wait long enough like a few weeks after harvest). ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/0/05047aa2eb5723a154af87608efc25277404614a.jpeg) > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I have seed packet bronze fennel, seed packet Grosfruchticher (green herb fennel, stronger and sweeter than bronze), and tons of whatever the mostly Grosfructicher x stray Bronze fennel that goes bonkers in my garden is. I love Fennel Hybrids going BONKERZ!!! 😂 😋 I wonder what my Lucknowi Fennel with contribute to your Fennel Landrace? It has very sweet seeds, that probably translates well into the greens too. So you just sprinkle a few raw fennel seeds into your rice, or do you first cook the Fennel Seeds? > [@LeeAngold](#): > > Feral arugula is _Diplotaxis tenuifolia_, perennial arugula or wall rockette. I started a few named varieties 3-4 years ago…dunno if its my arugula that went feral or someone else’s but it’s all over not just my garden but the neighbourhood. Not complaining, it is delicious. Very nutty and robust AWESOME! Very nutty flavor? Like arugula type of Nutty? It seems the feral arugula (_Diplotaxis spp._) is able to cross with Radishes (_Raphanus sativus_) because they are all part of the same _Brassiceae_ Tribe. Might be worth playing around with, I’d definitely love to get those seeds. > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I have a few different ground cherry/physalis varieties. The mainstream varieties plus whatever related species I could get my hands on last spring. All mixed up, I look forward to seeing what survives my zone 5/6 or volunteers back next year. oh wow! Like Different Wild Species Crossed with the Domesticated Ground Cherry? What Fruit colors went into the mix? Reguardless I’m sure we could benefit in Trading our Ground cherry Germaplasm. Ground cherries will volunteer easily if Ripe Fruits are left over or Forgotten about, happens with the wild species all the time. Do you also have any Tomatillo Physalis? I was thinking of crossing Groundcherry x Tomatillo. > [@LeeAngold](#): > > My sweet peppers are pretty sweet and thick fleshed. I’m on year 3ish of selection, but adding more seeds each year. Named parents include Lesya Red and Lesya Orange, Etiuda, Red Shepherd, Holy Italian and Golden California. But again, I planted them unlabelled and let them cross, collected seeds from anything tasty and early together. THAT’S EPIC! Very Thick Flesh & Sweet is exactly what I want! The parents that went in like the Lesya for example is among the Sweetest Pepper Varieties available (Like highest Sugar Content or Brix). This makes me want to Cross my Aji amarillo (Which has the Sweetest Fruity Flavor but Hot Spicyness) with yours & Reselect for the Sweetest Flavor! > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I dont have fava beans handy for comparison but I’m pretty sure my runners are bigger. Here are some pole bean varieties next to the huge runners, and on the end some normal scarlet runner bean seeds: WOW! Those are some REALLY Huge Runner Beans! Knowing that both Runner x Common Bean happens in the wild, those Huge Runner Beans are exactly what a Common Bean Landrace would need too! All of these varieites look fantastic. Can you take a Closer Picture of the Hilum (Seed Attatchment Point) of the Black-Grey Speckled bean? I suspect that Bean is actually a _Vigna unguiculata_ & not a _Phaseolus vulgaris_ based on the way the seed hilum looks like but I need a closer picture to confirm. > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I’ll go search for true garlic seed. I have some kind of super hardy softneck garlic that the previous gardener started. Thank you! From the research I’ve done, it seems you have to carefully remove the Arial Bulbils when Garlic Flowers to allow the True Flowers to Sprout underneath (Not every variety is even able to do this depending on how Severely inbred it’s been). However Leek & Crow Garlic are able to Cross with True Garlic. It may be too late to remove Bulbils but if any seeds were produced, you may still find them (Or a wild Allium that Grows like a weed too, like _Allium canadense_ or _Allium vinelae_). > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I dont even replant bulbs in fall, when pulling in summer it leaves behind outer bulbs so all I do is a little respacing in the spring (and moving stray garlic back into beds) and I get a years supply of garlic annually. That’s Smart! But when you harvest Garlic don’t the Outer Bulbs also pull with the entire root bulb too? or do you manually & Carefully harvest to make sure that the outer bulbs stay in ground & don’t get pulled up as you harvest? Have you also tried the Garlic Greens? > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I havent seen true seed but my guess is there must be some seed action because garlic keeps popping up all over the yard - bulbils arent that mobile… Hmm… that’s a good guess but are you sure all the other Garlics that show up in your Yard truely _Allium sativum_ Garlic? Could they actually be a Wild Allium like _Allium vineale_ or _Allium canadense_ (Both make arial bulbils)? Bulbils & Seeds mostly fall near the plant unless some animal shakes the seeds to fall out further (I’ve done this with the Wild Allium Bulbils where I forage, heck I even throw them long distances too). > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I’m in a pretty urban area but we have some decent woody patches and trails for foraging. Same here 😂, My area is somewhat Urban & Suburban with a few forrests in the Waste Areas inbetween Neighborhoods or Bussiness blocks. Lots of Good Foraging Oppurtunitues exist in Urban Environments, lots of Unique Amaranths, Purslane, Black Nightshade, Physalis show up that way as well as other Vegetable & Edible Landscaping plants that escape (Of course don’t forage food where they spray or is Toxic, but do save seeds from those areas). > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I also have a few shrubs and trees of my own, and access to a few more in the local community garden. Nice! What kinds of Trees do you have? Lots of the Landscaping Plants are also Edible like with Hosta, Kousa Dogwood, some Viburnums, Pines & Spruces, ect. If you need help to ID the Potentially edible Plants around you, take a Picture & I can ID them for you (I’m really good at it). > [@LeeAngold](#): > > Unfortunately I hadnt been saving tree/shrub seeds for the most part so some of these may have to wait to next season, but let me know if you want them: No worries, I do like Tree seeds from Edible Trees. Do you have any Spruce, Fir, Douglas Fir, Pines, Larch & other Pinaceae Plants? Do you have Maples, Tilia & other edible trees? > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I do have raspberries - a fall-bearing (“everbearing”) red variety from my own garden. Theres also both red and black raspberries growing wild along nearby trails I can forage. AWESOME! I’m collecting Raspberry Diversity so definitely save seeds when they ripen. We can trade multiple times, as we acquire new seeds to trade, I’d love to do that! > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I also have purple-flowering raspberry (Rubus parvifolius) both in my own yard and wild. AWESOME! That’s exactly one of the species I really wanted to get! > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I have Concord grapes at the community garden and Manitoba grapes…everywhere. A few different kinds of blueberries and gooseberries scattered about. Nice, them Grapes sounds fantastic! The blueberries are especially Fantastic! You have all kinds of Wild Blueberries & other Vaccinium species? What region of Canada do you live (I roughly know the plants available in each region). Gooseberries!? OOOH, YES I’d Definitely love to get Gooseberries, there are LOTS of Ribes species in Canada, the genus diversity is very Rich in Canada, it’s not just Gooseberries but also many Currant species too! Take Pictures of what kinds of Ribes species you find & I can ID them for you, I’ve studied them so I have a good chance to tell you what is what (Leaf, Flower & Berries is basically all I need to ID). > [@LeeAngold](#): > > Lots of elderberries (Sambucus spp.) and Viburnum (Pimbina, Canadian Raspberry, etc), various types of serviceberries (Amelanchier). Fantastic! I’ve never tried Elderberries but from what I’ve heard they seem boring, very medicinal & kind of Over rated. The Viburnums on the other hand seem interesting but what is the Canadian Raspberry Viburnum!? WHA??? > [@LeeAngold](#): > > Also have Anise Hyssop, Marsh milkweed, butterfly milkweed, common milkweed, Leadplant, echinacea purpurea and pallida, hopefully my Spicebush will set seed soon. Fantastic! I’d especially love to get Anise Hyssop & Lead Plant. The milkweeds i’m not too interested in but what kinds of Spicebush do you have? In North Eastern U.S. an Orange berry Phenotype of Spicebush is found, it be crazy if you had the orange one somehow wouldn’t it? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/landracegardening/original/2X/2/2c604f0729d5d4be7356e4db879777d680d56b42.jpeg) > [@LeeAngold](#): > > I spend a good bit of time at my parents in downtown Toronto, so grocery store wise I can probably find you almost anything you can dream up 😉 OOh! Toronto has many different Kinds of International Grocery Stores too right? As for Grocery Stores I’m interested in all sorts of Melons, Squashes, Tropical Fruits, Spices, ect. Take Pictures of anything cool you find at your Grocery Stores. I can tell you if it has Viable seeds inside or not, or if it’s even worth getting.
