Sharing Seeds

Hi! I have been saving lots of seeds from my Gardens the past few years and would love to trade to get more diversity and variety! Im in Zone 5 Ontario, Canada I have always grown organically and have been doing more landrace style the past couple years. So most of the seeds types will have multiple varieties mixed together and have grown for a few generations on my farm. I will put a list of what I have below.
Feel free to put a list of your seeds on this page!

Hi Dawson,

I would be interested in a melon for melon trade if you would like.

I saved seed from 3 classes of melon so you can tell me what interests you most:

  1. Earliest/Tastiest melon. These are mostly orange fleshed because that’s my preferred flavour.
  2. Biggest melon, I got a couple melons much larger than the others so I saved them separately. These were all green fleshed, still tasty not as good as my favourites.
  3. Watermelon, I don’t have too many seeds of these but could part with a few. All ice box size early ripeners in many colours.

Alternatively, I have a lot of melon seeds I have collected from neighbors, seed swaps and purchased and I could send some of these.

Id love to swap some of my butternut squash seeds for a mixed variety of your zucchini seeds! I am also intrigued by the rhubarb seeds you have, as well as the jalapeno and ground cherry.

I dont have much for my own seeds saved yet since this is kinda my start up year for everything, but i do have a few things saved from last years garden:
Black radish
Russian kale
various tomato seeds (black cherry, roma, zebra, a beefsteak that might be cherokee)
Red nasturtium
Leaf lettuce
a very spicy little round yellow hot pepper
Kuri squash
And a bunch of trombocino squash seeds but the squash was picked early so might not be high germ rates. I have some leftover from the original seed pack i could give you as well, since i wasnt fond of the trombocino.

I also saved seed from buttercup squash and honeydew melon grown locally at small farm stands but they could potentially be a hybrid of some sort.
