Hi Kathy,

I have some of the things you are looking for if you want to do a trade again.

I have some of the Uncle David's that are seeds I saved from a squash last year.
Zephyr squash- will share some of my stash. This is a hybrid so can't save seed.
Any type of pattison scallop type squash- I have a white patty pan, plus maybe some of the seed you sent me last year from yours.
Lettuce seed, - Can do have several, with red. Can send a mix of:
Cracoviensis
Deer Tongue
Red Salad Bowl
Cimmaron Romaine
Misc. leaf

Romanesco zuchinni - If you are willing to wait until my order comes, I can send some.
Dmail me.

WE can hold off a bit till the romanesco comes in. I got a big seed order coming in also. So glad you have some zephyr they are so expensive to buy. glad to get some of that dakota again also. I'm thinking those are the ones that died from powdery mildew last fall.

Let me know which of mine you want, and i'll set them aside for you till we do our trade ok

I have a yellow scallop summer squash OP that I can trade for Giant Nobel Spinach if that is still available. LMK

I think I would like to try:
Siberian Dwarf Kale
Parks whopper banana pepper
Quadrato D'Asti Giallo (yellow bell)

I have some other new winter squash coming you might be interested in also. ;)

I'm sorry cajunky I got some of the yellow scallop already. Got any other kind?

Cyndie, I'll put those seeds aside for you, do you remember which other winter squash you purchased?

I bought some

small wonder
honey bear acorn
sweet dumpling
cornell's bush delicata

Also got some of the Savor melon coming
I bought something called snowball. I'm not sure if it's squash or melon LOL I'll have to look it up.

Just yellow crook neck.

I think I will have some of these to share:

Jarradale
Confection
Bush Butternut
I have regular butternut, too

I may want to try that confection I've grown the jarradale, didn't like it, and have plenty of butternut also. I'm turning orange with all the butternut squash I'm having to eat this winter LOL Never want to grow it again ha ha.

Hi Kathy-Ann,

I have lots of veggie seeds. You'll find them here: www.freewebs.com/garden-gnomes-adventures
Under "seed lists"

I would love to trade against yard long beans.......

Hi Tuinkabouter, I'm kind of leary of exchanging seeds out side the USA, takes so long to get there, and costs more to ship than to USA trades. I'm sorry.

Cyndie, These squash are from your seed last year, Do you remember the round yellow one? it's awesome, and has the texture of the spegetti squash but half the size. I haven't tried the buttercup yet, I only got 4 or 5 off the vines before frost. We had a very early frost and It halted my squash growing quite a bit last fall. Will have to start earlier this year.

Kathy, I think the buttercup is the Uncle David's?
The other one looks like a Jaspee de Vende?
I like both of them.
I start my plants inside about 3 weeks before time to plant out. It helps me get a head start on the season here if I can put out a plant. I use the jiffy pellets. By the time I put them out, the roots are growing like crazy out of the pellet and they are not disturbed as they would be if I moved them from potting soil into the ground.

Where did you get your Uncle Daves Dakota Dessert squash, cause I can't find a single thing about them on the net.

Your right on the jaspee de vende, I had no idea that was what that one was LOL I had one for supper tonight with spegetti sauce and fetta cheese on it, while everybody else had pizza. LOL

I'll be starting my seeds about 2 weeks before easter here, cause we have a freeze at easter time then after that I can plant anything.

I got my seeds from willhite in and they didn't send the savor melon seeds, I had called after I placed the internet order and asked them to add them to the order. They didnt charge me for them, but I really wanted them. They are so very expensive. Now I guess I won't grow them cause I don't want to pay shipping on them again. I've only found them at willhite and johnny select seeds. their expensive at both places.

I get Uncle David from Fedco seeds. It's a co-op here in Maine. They have a great catalog and prices are cheap. I order from them every year.
You have to click on the seeds link. They also have other catalogs, like Moose tubers. ;)
http://www.fedcoseeds.com/

Also looking for Mini pak choy or tah tsai asian greens

or golden wax beans I forgot to purchase these

And Orient express cucumber

Multiplier onions or egyptian walking onions



I got one of my lg seed orders in, and have more to trade if anybody is interested

Have:
pink eye purple hull pea
Georgia Southern Mustard Green
Snowball cauliflower
Black beauty zuchini
Alaska green pea
Long island improved brussel sprout
honeydew gold rind
Rocky ford green flesh melon
cobb gem
Blue lake bush bean
Kandy Korn

Red veined malibar spinach

Cyndie , do you have to be a member or something to order from them?

What the heck are moose tubers LOL

No Kathy, Just download the catalog. They sell to everyone. They haven't done online ordering very long, so that part is not very sophisticated, but they have great stuff. They are very environmentally conscious. You can also order a paper catalog. It's a lot of fun to read and has beautiful illustrations.

I guess you have to be from Maine to appreciate the term Moose tubers. It's potatoes. Hehehe.

I bet you don't get to grow too many summer veggies up there. Bet it 's beautiful in the fall though.

I grow as much stuff as I can get in...The trick is to fool Mother Nature. I try to pick short season varieties and I put things out already started.
The only time I seed directly is when the spring is early.
Peas get planted here as soon as I can push the snow away. They grow over 6 feet tall.
My tomatoes are stunted compared to yours, and I probably don't get the yield you do on squash. But I have managed to get some of everything. I am happy with that.

Yes, we do have a beautiful fall...
But, as I get older it gets harder to put up with winter if there is a lot of snow and ice.
Snow starts in November and sometimes is not gone until May. (Last year) This year, not so much and I have my fingers crossed for not much more. That being said, we still have about 2 feet covering the ground. I keep a journal and the typical ice out on the lake is April 15th. The next day the loons come back and spring is around the corner.

We are making a list of warmer locals for retirement. I would love to be outside year round.

Man, I have to replant peas if I plant them in the freezing cold. That's not fair LOL

I still haven't got my peas planted yet. Farmer's alminac says early feb or end of january, How do they ever germinate. I guess I need to get them in to the ground soon
