Deb Stephens wrote:Darn, I pretty much just went through my 10 years plus saved seed and tossed all but those from the last 2 years into various compost piles and pots (hoping some are still viable and will surprise me), so I only have small quantities of things I intend to plant this year (or already have). I do have a ton of luffa and white cushaw squash seeds if anyone wants those. Here is what I have now and what I will have by end of summer/early fall if anyone cares to keep in touch until then.
I currently have:
- Luffa - probably enough for 50 swaps of 10 seeds each (or more seeds if you need them)
- White Cushaw squash - same as above
- Blackberry and Purple Passionfruit suckers (They are taking over my garden -- they sprout everywhere, like kudzu). I am not sure how to ship these, but maybe I could wrap them in damp moss or paper and they would do okay for a few days in transit. Anybody have experience doing this?
- Baptisia australis (native wildflower -- also called False wild indigo) (only a few of these now, but more after I gather this season's seeds)
- Marigolds (no named varieties -- these are mixed from years of reseeding and crossing in my garden)
- Tomato Riesentraube (only enough for two or three swaps)
What I will have by season's end:
Tomatoes:
Riesentraube
Black from Tula
Cherokee Purple
Carbon
Peppers:
King of the North (sweet bell)
Serrano Tampequino
Red Savina Habenero
Chiltepin (these are the true, wild peppers - round and pea-sized)
Chili pequins
Greens:
Malabar spinach
Kale, dwarf Siberian
Swiss chard, fordhook giant
Mustard, giant southern
Chinese pak choi
Arugula
Herbs:
Parsley, Italian flat-leaf
Oregano
Thyme
Broadleaf sage
Basil, licorice
Basil, Thai sweet
Basil, Emily
Spearmint
Borage
Garlic chives
Lemon balm
Rue
Fennel
Leeks
Chia
Shungika
Spilanthes (toothache plant)
Stevia (fingers crossed it does better this year!)
Melons, squashes, etc.:
Buffalo gourd (native melon)
Poona Kheera cucumbers
Tatume squash
Lemon squash
Spaghetti squash
Yellow crookneck squash
Italian edible gourd (called Serpente di Sicilia because it looks like a huge snake -- but tastes like a delicious squash)
Grains and Beans:
Amaranth, love lies bleeding
Amaranth, orange giant
Amaranth, red caloo
Sorghum, sugar drip
Beans, Arikara yellow
Beans, Henderson's black valentine
Beans, blue-speckled tepary
Beans, Hidatsa red indian
Shrubs and Trees (non-native):
Purple passion flower
Strawberry guava (they may not bear fruit this year, but who knows)
Jujube
Pomegranate, dwarf (they may not bear fruit this year, but who knows)
Fruiting Shrubs and Trees (native):
Blackberries
Pawpaw (haven't gotten large enough for fruits yet, but will watch and keep you posted)
Fragrant and staghorn sumac (fruits make great lemonade and dried make a great lemon-pepper substitute for seasoning)
Wild plum
Serviceberry
Persimmon
Flowering dogwood
eastern red cedar (juniper)
Wildflowers & Native Plants:
We have 75 acres (in the SW Missouri Ozarks) of which about 50 is restored native glades, so we have more wildflowers growing here than you can shake a stick at. We also back up against Mark Twain National Forest, so there are a lot of native woodland plants to gather seeds from. (Don't worry. I am a rabid environmentalist -- I NEVER dig up wild plants and I only gather seeds sparingly where they are abundant.) If you consult a native plant guide and want some seeds of anything that naturally grows here, please let me know by PM ASAP so I can be on the watch for them as they pop up. Flowers, shrubs and trees are pretty much all well-known by me, but I may have a bit of confusion with some of the grasses and sedges. I will do my best to ID whatever you like because it is a passion of mine to get as many people as possible to "grow native".
What I want:
- Native and Exotic Fruits, Melons, Squashes capable of growing in USDA zones 6, 7 or 8 (with protection) -- would love tea seeds (Camillia sinensis), heirloom apples and blueberries
- Herbs (especially, clary sage, horehound, French tarragon, unusual basils and mints, white sage, stinging nettles, lemongrass, fenugreek, chamomile, lavender, marshmallow, mugwort, etc.)
- Almost any kind of flower seeds, but especially natives, edibles and those attractive to bees and other pollinators
- Lilac and hibiscus shrubs, roses (seeds or starts)
- Horseradish, rhubarb, asparagus
Anything interesting or unusual really -- we love to experiment.

I'm sorry, I have been away from this forum for awhile and haven't really had a chance to check in with anyone on this thread. After writing that list early last year, we were hit by one natural weather disaster after another and ended up with a very disappointing year in our garden, woods and native glades. Consequently, I have to withdraw a bit from the previous list, and wait to see what comes back or fruits well this year. (I guess I counted my chickens before they hatched!) I still have quite a lot of the stuff on this list (and of course, will get more as the seasons progress) but a lot of less hardy plants got pretty much wiped out by either floods, drought or extreme cold last year.
If there is anything on this list that you still want, please PM me and I will see what I have managed to salvage or can expect this year.
I am still really wanting a few things if anyone has these...
I REALLY WANT:
figs (seeds or cuttings - hardy varieties)
sea buckthorn -- really, really wanting these, so will be happy to take as many seeds or seedlings as anyone would be kind enough to trade
And any of these things I listed previously (except nettles -- Noel Deering was kind enough to send me a huge pkt. of nettle seeds!!!)
- Native and Exotic Fruits, Melons, Squashes capable of growing in USDA zones 6, 7 or 8 (with protection) -- would love tea seeds (Camillia sinensis), heirloom apples and blueberries
- Herbs (especially, clary sage, horehound, French tarragon, unusual basils and mints, white sage, lemongrass, fenugreek, chamomile, lavender, marshmallow, mugwort, etc.)
- Almost any kind of flower seeds, but especially natives, edibles and those attractive to bees and other pollinators
- Lilac and hibiscus shrubs, roses (seeds or starts)

I see a few things listed since I was here last, so I will be contacting a couple of people here by PM to see if you still have your plants and seed offerings.
Thanks!
