Send me a personal message or email if you need my mailing address, or grab it from the image on the bottom of my web site.

Shipping to usa only.
$30 Paypal, Venmo, Zelle.
Also accepting cash or 1 ounce silver to my po box.

Please send shipping address by email, and notes about connecting you with the payment, since the payment processors don't always share contact information with me.

Let's take care of this soon. They need to be shipped before the weather turns frigid.

If you would like, you may also request that I add Egyptian Walking Onions, or sunroot seeds to the box. I'll send whole flowers that have some seeds, because the goldfinches didn't eat all of them this year.



Will you post in October if you will make this available again? I would like the roots, seeds and walking onions if you have them all.
Thanks, Tina

These were so popular that I dug a second batch. I expect to have them available for the next week or two.

I dug sunroots today. I'm offering to ship them within usa, same conditions as last time. This population sets seed prolifically. They represent the best 15% during three generations of my breeding project, pooled together into a common population.

You may also request sunroot seeds, rich in diversity—some may  have crossed with wild Kansas stock. I’ll send whole seed heads in a paper bag for you to finish drying and threshing yourself.

As a bonus, you can receive my radish–tomato-turnip mix—a joyful blend of the Going to Seed radish grex and direct-seeded tomatoes descended from the Profoundly Promiscuous & Totally Tasty Tomatoes project. The seeds come pre-mixed to encourage sowing them together (about 2 weeks before average last frost). The brassicas nurse the young tomatoes, protect from insects, frost, and weeds, and help the tomatoes adapt in your garden.
