I'm packaging seeds to give to several Community Gardens, Shelters, Churches and Senior Centers. Some of these seeds are hybrids and some are seeds I saved from my own op seeds. If you would like seed or know of someone that would like seed, just let me know and I'll send some. I follow the Square Foot Garden theory: don't over plant seeds: no more than 3 to a spot...including teeny-tiny seeds like carrots. You can save most seed for 5 years, so why waste them...they can be pricey little boogers!
Rapini Rabb: Early Fall and Early Spring, Celery: Golden Self-Blanching, Celeriac: Giant Prague, Broccoli: Gypsy and Imperial, Carrots: Zeus and Imperial, Cauliflower: violetta, Collards: Georgia and Bulldog, onion: Mt. Whitney and White Gem, PakChoi: Joi Choi, Bell Pepper: Double Up, Radish: White Globe and Crunchy Royal, Squash: a Hybrid Test no-name, Spaghetti and Turnip: Southern Green and White Lady. My seeds are 2010, some are field tests from commercial seed production, some are my own natural non-certified organic op seed saving. Let me know what you'd like. I also have some squash seed I saved from my own organic op winter squash (Australian Butter, Butternut, Sugar Dumpling and Delicata), but my grand kids used the seed to play a counting game and mixed them up...I'll send a surprise package of those if you have the room and or courage!

Well how nice of you. If you have the extra I would love some of the Celeriac. Been wanting to try that ...
Hey I am having a give away too! Just posted it today. Mine is a drawing type as I couldn't do one for everyone LOL...

Hi there!
I came over from Texan! I have to tell you I just moved to Texas (from Maine). Are you in Texas also? I would love to have a mystery pack from you - one that would be appropriate for West Texas. I used to work at a seed company (Johnny's) in Winslow Maine. I am trying to learn about the climate/proper varieties for this new area that we are in. I have SO much to learn - it's a completely different climate then I've grown up in!! If you are in Texas, any advice you may have would be so appreciated :) Thanks!!
PS - I'm missing my chickens - we live in the city and can't have livestock - but I'm looking at property in the country so that I can have my ladies back again! I also like to preserve, quilt and bake too! I am a new follower!!
Laurie: I'm in Northern California...the Sacramento Valley to be exact. We can grow just about anything here: it's farming country for sure! I try and grow whatever I want...if it works I keep the seeds if it doesn't I try and figure out why or usually I just send the seed on it's way. I'm not good with tomatoes and this is tomato country: there are 2 HUGE tomato processing plants across the field from me AND my son is a commercial tomato grower! I plant tomatoes every year and never get more that 10-20 pounds...but I keep trying!
I love Johnny's...that's the first op/organic seed I started with back in the late 70's early 80's...I'm still collecting seeds from those orginal plantings!...even POTATOES! My first fingerlings were from Johnny's.
Let me know if I have some seed you would like: just experiment...it's fun and a great learning experience.
What a good thing you do!!! I would love to try anything you are willing to send. I am brave.

This is so generous of you to share your seeds!! I have a couple of spots in my garden plan I have been wondering what to plant. If you can spare it, I'd love to try the celery.
PS. I'm tomato-challenged myself! =)
Melissa and Kim I have seeds ready for you...send me an address and they'll be sent out on Monday. my email for the seed is:
colusacountyfood@hotmail.com.
Came by way of the Texan and would really love some of your celery seed. I have never tried growing celery though we always garden every year. thank you,
