Good evening friends! How are you? Blake is looking for more help in acquiring some very historic Serbian, Croatian and Bulgarian crops to help restore his community's past in Chicago to edify everybody this year and beyond. One of the crops I already have is the Futog cabbage and it's grown from the 18th century.
Here's some targets I'm hunting for.
1. Osmak eight row white corn
2. Serbian white pumpkin
3. Serbian oval gray pumpkin
4. Cerovaca Old Serbian melon
5. Serbian or Croatian red onion
6. Serbian cucumber
7. Bulgarian long cucumber
8. Balkan cabbage
9. Bulgarian long lettuce
10. Serbian buckwheat
Most of these will be hard to bring into America at this stage because of the obstacles. I never had ordered from Europe before for anything. I'm looking for the absolute best to grow for my community and edify all. Please reach me at the Purple Moosage page to discuss more ways to acquire these historic crops so some of my quests can be accomplished. Good night!

I don’t have seeds to offer but it is inspiring to hear about your project so I will offer my admiration and encouragement instead!

Good evening M! Your beautiful encouragement is more than welcome and it's an inspiring sight. Wish there's more people out there to aid me on my quest. My love for horticulture and nature has been a treasure and they empowered me lot to aid others and myself. Take care friend.

Good evening friends. Blake back seeking a few key targets for his Balkan garden this year and beyond to help his community remember their past. Here's a short list.
1. Osmak white corn
2. Serbian white pumpkin
3. Sunny Creek (Serbian) cucumber
4. Serbian or Croatian red onion
5. Serbian or Croatian carrot
6. Serbian sweet melon
Needing more help to accomplish a successful European settler garden in Chicago where I have one of the largest Serbian populations in America and among the largest Balkan populations in the country outside of their motherlands. My community has a rich economic and religious history of these ethic peoples who have contributed greatly despite scars being left behind.
If anybody has seeds of any of those, please message me on the Purple Moosage so we can discuss ways to obtain them this year since I don't know anybody from the Balkans and will have trouble bringing them to America due to the legal obstacles. Be blessed.
 
There will be plenty of time to discuss your objections when and if you return. The cargo is this tiny ad:
