I bought my first home two years ago and am trying to establish a diversity of native plants, and a few non-invasive ornamentals that provide nectar when few natives are in bloom, as well as edible and useful plants.  

The Butterfly weed I planted last year is blooming now, and hopefully there will be some other flowers soon.  Mostly common stuff like Echinacea and Rudbeckia, common milkweed...

If anyone has seed to share or trade please let me know.  I feel like seeds should be free, and I plan to do more guerilla gardening and might even start a native plant club in my town.  I want to get more proactive about slowing down this insect apocalypse.

want Elecampaign? rose campion? Dame's Rocket? Valerian? Canterbury Bells and Columbine? I can send you a mix you can toss out. Mostly Biennials, so you'll forget about them then they will bloom their heads off the 2nd year and self seed after that but none to the point of being invasive.  text address to 4424299867

I have some paw paw seeds, Susquehanna, from Pennsylvania. And some small heirloom tomatoes seeds. I'd be interested.

I have been curious how well paw paw grows from seed, have you had much luck with it?

Paw paw from seed does work but they take a lot of patience. Cold stratification is pretty much essential and then germination can still be slow and erratic. Worth a go if you've got seeds to spare.

They take a long time to germinate. I got them in a bit of water in the fridge. You can put em in the ground in the autumn through the winter they will come up in the summer, I think it's about 9 months lol. The fruits so good. If you can find grafts. I have bunch planted int the woods last year they finally sprouted up.
