I know it's a bit late to be looking, but I was in the hospital and recovering from surgery, so I'm behind a bit... And now I can't find a few seeds I would love to plant this year.

Mint-- any kind-- especially the different and unique

Lavendar-- any kind at all!!!

Lemongrass, lemon balm

Any other "smelly", fragrant herb you might have that's good for teas and potpourris.

Stevia seeds.

I can pay you for them, pay postage, or trade for some of my seeds. I've got a whole bunch of various seeds, mostly heirlooms and open pollinated-- if you let me know what you need, I can see if I have anything!

I have some black anise if you'd like. I use the seeds in baking and to flavor dandelion root tea (because it doesn't have much flavor on it's own). They have a delicate sweet/spicy licorice flavor to them. The plant is beautiful and unusual looking (bamboo-like stalks with very dark, dill-type foliage). PM me if you're interested.

I've got three unopened packets of Lavender " English tall" that I can send you, plus some other surprises.

PM me your address and I will send them out to you free of charge....

I have lemon grass but you won't get it through a winter in your area unless you have a greenhouse.

Do you know if it does ok in pots ? I have a LOT of large pots hanging around ( left behind in a shed by the previous owners) so I can grow in pots if it does ok in them :)

It does fine in pots, the bigger the better. Even then it will need to be divided several times a year. The clump gets big fast. If you try to grow it inside it will need a very sunny window or a strong grow light. It is a tropical plant that grows in open grassy areas. If you want to give it a try PM me your address. I don't charge for it except for the postage. (about $3 or so)

Just a quick post/ update!

I've received my lavendar seeds, black anise and Angel trumpet seeds, and my lemongrass shoots ( these smell divine!)

I'll get my return parcels in the mail on Monday or Tuesday, as I"m working a hectic schedule all weekend- but wanted to acknowledge what I've received-- thanks SO MUCH!!!


Still looking for mints if anyone's got any :) Will pay or trade - let me know :)
