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 was putting away some seeds I had saved, and found a few more seeds to give away:
EGGPLANT, THAI YELLOW EGG: Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds - '08.  http://rareseeds.com/  I think this eggplant needs a longer growing season than I have. Only got one last summer on 2 plants.
 
RED ONION: Home grown - '09. The original onions sets came from Sunshine Gardens in '07. This is seed I saved this year, lots of it. I prefer to grow onions from sets, not from seed.

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.

This is "amended straw" for mulching, composting, or amending your soil, I have 4 sheep and 5 goats that spend the night in one small 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 being to make a thick mulch layer that feeds the soil below, as it breaks down. But, the barn gets dirty faster than I can use it. Contains partially broken down straw, sheep & goat poops, and urine.

Most of these seeds I can mail to interested folks, within reason, of course.

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. Some may be available now.
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).
