Just a quick post today, been working OT at my job and its leaving little time to do all the things I want, plus sleep, lol. I want to make sure I do 2 post a week here. One on the weekends, plus one during the middle of the week, so here is something I’m throwing together for you all to look at.
A Great Site for Seeds
Now I want to tell everyone about a nice site that my friend Johnny Max set up. Its at www.heirloomseedswap.com. Unlike other seed service sites, you don’t have to pay a membership, and you can post your seeds for free. There isn’t any cost to you, you can create an account, sell seeds, trade seeds, or post a list of seeds you want all for FREE. This is nice, but eventually I think Johnny will need to do something to at least help pay for server fees and all.
My Seeds
Now I do have seeds listed. I picked some nice apricots off someone on craigslist. (I love that site too) The Apricots are wonderful compared to those I’ve tried at the grocery store. I had 19lbs of them, so I have probably close to 100 seeds. I’m gonna start some and sell the trees, and others I’m posting as sets of 10 on the seed swap site.
Want a link to my post, here it is. http://www.heirloomseedswap.com/item/137
Now the site is new and so it still doesn’t have a lot on there, but with time and more members, we’ll make it into a great site for swapping seeds. I’m gonna grab some heirloom tomato seeds from my brother-in-law, some for myself and some for trade. He’s got some nice cherry yellow pears that can just produce more than you can imagine. Great heat tolerance too. Within 2 days of my apricots being posted, I had 2 offers. I am getting bloody butcher tomato seeds for my greenhouse this fall, and amish blue popcorn. Kids are already saying “yuck” to blue popcorn, lol, but it will be neat to grow.
Final words
So if everyone could stop by and sign up and post any extra seeds you may want to swap, it will help make that site grow. Why should we always buy high priced seeds that are mostly hybrids from seed companies, when we can trade heirloom seeds for free. Heck you could probably trade non heirlooms too.
Have a great week,
Josh
