Wow, what a long list! You sure know what you want.

I have blue love in the mist growing here and could collect you some seeds this year if you remind me. I did not collect any last year as it self sows so well. That flower gets a lot of comment! At my last home I had a huge patch of it where it self sowed one year and I had an argument with a neighbor about it. He said my "weeds" were taking over and I said that is a FLOWER and he had to eat his words later when it bloomed. It makes an interesting cut flower later, but it does look a little like a weed at first!
Mine are an heirloom variety I got from Fort Vancouver educational garden.

I've barely started my list!

Savingdogs, I have way more pumpkin seeds than I could plant in a lifetime. HOWEVER, they are not necessarily heirloom. Some are organic. Others, no clue. If want them let me know. I would be happy to send some to you so they don't go to waste.

Shilo, I have quite a few things on your wish list. Some are heirloom, some organic and others not sure...LOL. I do have dutch bantam sweet corn, which is heirloom, and I also have black oil sunflower seeds. Like I told savingdogs, WAY more than I could ever plant. Let me know if you would like me to send some your way.

That reminds me, it is also time for me to put together a couple of donation bags for churches doing food ministries. Something to keep in mind if you have a seed surplus. Quite a few churches in my area stated doing this when the economy went South. So don't let those seeds go to waste people. Call or ask around. I have also given away seeds on freecycle.

Hee hee,
Left out an important part.
Check out my previous post. I edited it. Thanks

Damu, I will check my seeds and see if my cilantro is heirloom or not.

That reminds me ... I also have a "weed" like that that I can share this year if anyone is interested. My husband kept mowing them down because he thought they were "horse weeds', but they are lovely in bloom and TOUGH. (at least in Missouri)

My "weed" is called Linaria vulgaris by folks who know. Grandma Nettie always called them Butter n' Eggs and I have heard them called Toadflax. They are about 18 - 24 inches tall and bloom from early summer to frost. Once established they self seed AND spread by runners. I got my start from Grandma Nettie, who got HER start from her Grandma.

I never see these grown and they are supposed to be a native wildflower. If you would like some seed let me know and then remind me this summer and I will be VERY happy to share some.

Oh! I always thought those were just a wild snapdragon when I was a kid. They are so pretty. The gooberment considers it an invasive species.

I think they are really a ditch flower, but when you civilize them into a real flower bed they are outstanding.

You can achieve almost continual bloom all summer long if you keep them deadheaded, which I used to do using a hedge trimmer.
