have some seeds.

[gfrancie]

I am going through my collection of seeds and being realistic about what I will be able to plant and tend to this year. (a baby arriving in late Summer makes one re-adjust the plans a little) I have some seeds to give away if anyone is interested. (kind of a first come first serve, as supplies last sort of thing)
All heirloom varieties.

Yellow Hickery King Dent Corn (as described from the Baker Seed website) Large, yellow-kerneled variant of White Hickory King. It is also harder to find. This variety is still grown in the Appalachian region, where it has been a favorite since the late 1800s. Traditionally used for making roasting ears, hominy, grits, and in hidden mountain spots, moonshine! Huge stalks are quite strong.
Yeah! Moonshine!

Bianco di Maggio Onion 80 days. Flat, Italian "cipollini" variety. These delicious, small white onions command a high price at specialty markets. Very sweet and mild, used in Italy for pickling, grilling and in salads.

Carentan Leeks -French variety from the 19th century.

King of the Garden Lima Beans -easy to grow and eat. Will require pole supports.

Just comment and we can coordinate email/mailing address stuff.

Right on! Anything in particular you want?

[robiewankenobie.livejournal.com]

Whatever amuses you.

I might send you corn and beans. (fun stuff to do with the kiddies) I know you want to make moonshine.

If you've got any left over, I would like corn and maybe one or two lima beans. :)
I am also thinking of a way to thank you for your largesse. Sometime in the next two weeks. I have plans. :)

[gfrancie.livejournal.com]

I can probably send you some corn and a few beans.

That would be awesome. I'd literally only need maybe 3-4 seeds of each. We are hoping to rent a tiller next weekend and get busy on the garden! It's been fallow for 20+ years, so hopefully it will have nice, rich soil. I think we'll add some compost, too, and manure. Yay, manure! ;)
Re: toilet-training, did you buy A. the book "Everybody Poops"? I just love that title!

You can't just save them for next year?

I am saving some, but I thought it would be nice to share some.
