Annual YGG Round Robin Seed Exchange
Posted by Amy on 20 Feb 2010 | Tagged as: Propagation, Seeds
It’s that time of year again! Time to start thinking about growing plants from seed. I had hoped to have the time/space/energy to grow some tomatoes in the basement this year but it just isn’t going to happen. I will probably take a couple of trips to some different growers to find some cool heirloom seedlings later in May or June, instead.
The whole shebang. Most of the seeds were either heirloom tomatoes (the trend continues!) or flowers.
I received the seed package on Friday afternoon, and today I sorted through and chose a couple of packets to keep:
Malabar Edible Climbing Spinach
Nasturtiums
Tithonia Mexican Torch Sunflower
Broccoli Romanesco
The source for all of these is unknown, but I can start them all either directly in the ground or outside when the weather warms up.
What I put in (pile on the left) and what I took out (pile on the right).
I think I put some pretty nice packets (all brand new) back into the envelope for the next person:
From Thompson & Morgan:
Morning Glory “Carnevale di Venezia”
Tomato “Vilma”
Pepper “Chili Pyramid”
Pepper “Mohawk F1 Hybrid”
From McKenzie: (You can follow McKenzie on Twitter now.)
Strawberry “Patio Temptation”
From Burpee:
Money Garden Pepper “Home Run”
Money Garden Tomato “Steak Sandwich” (The name of that one makes my mouth water.)
From Richters:
Poppy Opium Blue Seeded
From Heritage Harvest Seed:
Early Blood Turnip Beet
And from Mr. Fothergill’s:
Lettuce “Romaine”
I hope whomever ends up with these has good success with them!
