Howdy all.
I've been doing my little part with biodiversity the best I can.
So far I have mailed seeds to:
BlueJay
Digit
And, so far I have seeds in bubble wrap envelopes ready to mail out soon as I go to town next time for:
SeedO
Thistle
And, probably in the next few hours I'll have bubble wrap envelopes filled with seeds for:
NinnyMary
Honeycomb
Journey
What I am tyrying to do is rotate through my seeds before they get too old. I have boxes of seeds. Lots of Tomato seeds, and as you might guess, many of them are from my own hybridizations. The very few oldest are from 2004, but most are newer than that. Also have brassicas and some lettuce. Some of the brassicas are or may be crosses, the worst of which will make fine collards or kale, but there should be some cool things in those. Also there are some winter radishes, some of which may be crosses of china rose with long black spanish. Those should be fun.
I notice that picking and choosing what to put in which envelope is not very easy, my poor ole brain. I have plenty of these envelopes, so if I did not put something in I should have, let me know and i'll send some.
If I am FORGETTING anyone I already said I'd send seeds to, just remind me.
Anyone else want to be on my seed mail out list? Let me know, and pm me with your address.
Oh, I still have more of those purple seeded golden podded pea seeds, but I'll soon have to get some from the 2nd best plant, which was a high percentage of purple seeds, but not 100%. That may actually be a good thing because the purple seed color behaved like a CODOMINANT gene and codominant factors are hard to figure.
Got lots of an excellent selection of freckles romaine lettuce from 2 really good plants, one strongly splashed, the other lightly splashed with red. Lettuce acts like a random pollinator, and these 2 plants were like 15" apart, and flowered simultaneously. Freckles has silvery seed.
