CLOSED: Oldies but Goodies!

I have a lot of older seeds I'd like to get rid of - some are last year's harvest, some older, some bought, some traded. Most of them are uncommon. I hope they're all viable, but to make them more attractive, I'm willing to trade five packets of my oldies for any one thing on my Wants list. Please check my lists and see if you'd like to take a chance!

Thanks.

Mary....Do you know the common names for all those seeds? Aunty's just a common ole gal who only speaks common ole language, ya know? Have no idea what the spanish words mean! *lol* Thanks!

Sorry, I don't. As I said, most of them are uncommon, so they don't have common names, at least not English ones. I have put the common name where I know it, and I'll add more as I find them out, but at the moment all I have for most of them is the botanical name. At least with the Latin name you can identify them wherever in the world you (or the plant) come from, if you have enough time/patience/books.
