Garden posts

I am re-posting my seeds, because I have given some away and added more seeds. I can usually mail these seeds, within reason, of course. BC = Baker Creek. Go to http://rareseeds.com/ to read descriptions. Otherwise, seeds are home grown and/or harvested.

VEGGIES:
- EGGPLANT, THAI YELLOW EGG: BC - '08. Needs longer growing season than I have.
- EGGPLANT, THAI PURPLE EGG: BD - '08. Needs longer growing season than I have.
- EGGPLANT, PURPLE GLOBE variety - Home saved seed 02.

I have 3 of these wire baskets made for hanging plants on a wall or railing. You have to use some kind of moss to keep the plant and soil inside the basket. These have a flat back and a triangular shaped front, and are made to be hung on a flat surface or off a railing, not suspended in the air. They are similar to the ones one the site below, although the shape is more triangular. http://www.podington.co.uk/wall-baskets-boxes/traditional-green-wire-wal...

I would like some interesting sunflower seeds.  I particulary would like Ruby Eclipse Seeds, Orange, Mahogany or Ring of Fire Seeds or anything similar.  I am looking for brown, red, rust, orange and ruby colored petals. 

I have a healthy Swedish Ivy and Spider Plant to give away.  They are both good plants to cleanse the air in your home.

This is also know as the Winter Cherry plant.  Roots of the plant are used by Ayurvedic healers to reduce inflammation, decrease stress and invigorate the body.

Here are plants that I am curious about growing. If you have seeds or plants or even if you just have feedback on growing the plant, or whether you liked it or not:
Basil (Thai, and Holy), Cumin, Corn Salad, Mini Bell Peppers (red, orange, yellow, or green), Paprika Pepper, Purple Cabbage, Nantes Carrots, Endive, Purslane, Radichio, and Salad Burnet.
Plants that I have grown, but do not have seed for:
Spinach, Basil (Sweet), Sun Gold Cherry Tomato,  and Zephyr Crookneck Squash. 

This is "amended straw" for mulching, composting, or amending your soil, I have 4 sheep and 5 goats that spend the night in one barn. Almost any time of the year I am open to cleaning out the barn. The offer: You and I clean the barn together and we load it into your truck for your garden. I use this "amended straw" all the time on my garden, my favorite use as a thick mulch layer that feeds the soil below, as it breaks down. The barn gets dirty faster than I can use it. Contains partially broken down straw, sheep & goat poops, and urine.
 

I have many plants that self sow around our place. In the spring, there are usually plants in places I prefer them not to be. Often, I just have a lot of them and some can be dug out. Most of them are deer resistant, otherwise they would not have flourished so well.
Lamb's Ears, Rose Campion, Feverfew, Catnip, Lemon Balm (Melissa), Oregano (mild with big leaves, I use mostly in salads), Walking/Egyptian Onions (onion sets in fall or plants in spring or summer), chives (limited supply), Mint (naturalized and very hardy).
