Seeds for the garden

Jul 06, 2014 22:32

I have rather more vegetable seeds than I can really use in a small garden. Anyone up for trading seeds for other seeds or taking a few seeds and sharing a few samples of the results? All these came from Kings Seeds (numbers are best-by dates). I haven't harvested anything from the first set yet, so can't comment about them.

Radish "Watermelon" 01/17
Radish "Easter Egg" 01/17
Mesclun blend "Winter Greens" 01/17
Cabbage "Space Saver" 01/17
Brussels sprouts "Long Island Improved" 01/17
Broccoli "Precoce Romanesco" 01/17
Cauliflower "Violet Sicilian" 01/17
Salsify 01/17
Lettuce "Little Gem" 01/16

Tomato "Aunt Ruby's German Green" 01/16 [good]
Tomato "Riesentraube" 01/15 [good]
Tomato "Oaxacan Jewel" 01/16 [good]
Tomato "Indigo Rose" 01/16 [good]
Basil "Genovese Giant" 01/16
Tomatillo "Purple" 01/16 [very prolific but not really to my taste]
Salad burnet 01/16
Spring onion, red 01/15
Cucumber "Spacemaster" 01/16 [good]
Watermelon "Golden Midget", 01/16 [failed to set fruit successfully; might try again though]

Eggplant "Golden Egg" 01/16 [very small fruit]

I'm currently planning on ordering some more seeds later this month. Does anyone want to collaborate on an order? I've got a printed catalogue if anyone wants to browse, or visit the Web site at http://www.kingsseeds.co.nz. At this point I'm looking at: [See comments for actual purchase]

Zucchini "Zephyr"
Tomato "Window Box Red"
Tomato "Black from Tula"
Pepper "Black Olive"
Melon "Banana"
Ice plant "Crystal Leaf"
Cabbage "Conehead"

Loose-leaf lettuce of some sort
Daisy "Kingfisher" [not edible but caught my eye]
