    Hi Kathy,

    Thanks for your recent comment.

    It’s also great to see someone else trading seeds, but you aren’t very clear here what to expect from your seeds.

    Not everything you list here is heirloom or open pollinated (OP), and others require some special techniques if you save your own seeds for example isolation to prevent cross pollination.

    I can’t take anymore seeds in my garden right now! Some other people however might appreciate knowing what is OP, F1 and/or self saved.

    Hi Patrick,

    Thanks for the tips and you’re right, I do need to be more descriptive! All the vegetable and herb seeds listed here are straight out of the packet and most of the flowers are from trades or Seedy Saturday. I haven’t listed any of the self-saved seeds as I think they were cross-pollinated with other varieties. I’m definitely going to find out the proper way to save seeds, specifically tomato, so that I can have good seeds for next year.

    One more thing to go on my To Do list! :)

    Jack in the pulpit seeds ?? That’s quite intriguing to me- one of my fave plants of all time- easy to grow from seed ?

    Hi mmcateron! I had two clusters of berries last fall that I saved the seeds from and I tried winter sowing them earlier this year. They didn’t germinate so I’m not sure how well they’d do, maybe they’d do better under nicer circumstances. I’m definitely going to try again.
