Honestly, seeing happy bumblebees cuddle in my squash flowers is adorable. However, I understand the concern with seed keeping. I might plan some more native flowers/herbs in my backyard garden this season to distract them, since I'll likely be saving seeds.

Is anyone experienced with mixing neem seed meal in soil both as a fertilizer and to repel gnats? I'm thinking of getting that.

Some bad news, I had to kill my baby bean plant because its soil was infested with little baby gnats and it wouldn't survive because I foolishly used dish soap to get rid of the gnats. Don't worry, I can always start over. I'll buy an organic insect repellent to add to my potting soil before I...

If anyone is interested, Sistah Seeds, a very new seed company (their catalog just launched today) that specializes in heirloom seeds from the Black diaspora, has a few beans and bean relatives with interesting history available. Their catalog is very limited right now, but it's worth taking a look.

First flower(?) peeking out! I know that early flowers like this are somewhat common.

Welcome back from the outage, everyone! Here's another bean update from yours truly.

Alright. I'm selling seeds now. If you have any questions, let me know.

It says hello! (Yessica's Inca Bean)

Has anyone seen Ducks4You lately? They haven't been online for three days and I'm a bit worried about a seed swap we did.

Just wanna drop in the not-so-fun fact that Facebook's moderation isn't entirely AI, and the humans who do work there have to be exposed to very stressful content no human should ever see. There's reports that Facebook moderators have developed PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) from this. If...

According to this article by Smithsonian Magazine, plants might make ultrasonic squeals when stressed, that are so high-pitched humans can't hear them. It's not peer reviewed, but it's an interesting thought to have. Perhaps if we got technology that allowed us to detect plant squeals, knowing...

Thanks for letting me know! However, I said next year because my family is currently in a car situation. I likely won't be able to attend the seed swap in Noblesville. It's okay though, I can wait a few months.

I wish I could go to a physical seed swap sometime! Maybe I'll beg my mom to bring me next year.

Growing setup for the Yessica's Inca Beans. It looks like I'm doing something suspicious, hehe.

Garlic and Shallot!

Interesting! I would love to send some Yessica's Inca Beans to Russ if it all goes successfully.

This isn't directly related to the network, but I planted two Yessica's Inca Beans in an Eco-container provided by Xfinity. Placed the container on the heater and hope they will germinate. Anyone else have heard of that bean?

I have... Lettuce - 3.00 - This is a mix of seeds I harvested from my apartment complex's community garden. Because they were growing for eating and not seedsaving, this is definitely a hybrid mix. You don't know what you will get. 1 bag available. Thai Long Green Eggplant - 3.00 - This is an...

Previously, this thread was a single post for some tomato seeds I need to get off my hands. This time, I've decided to turn it into a thread for seed sales! I am doing these seed sales to support myself. I do not have a PayPal for myself, so profits will be going towards my mom's. I am currently...

Okay, this seems like I might be oversimplifying things, but I have an idea. If any of the Chickpea plants perform well, I might save seed from those plants. And I'll keep growing out and then saving seed from good plants again and again until the Rarámuri variety is more northern-adapted. It...
