I have this book I'd love to barter. I could use seeds for the garden, either veggies or flowers. Things in particular I'm looking for are lettuce (preferrably romaine), carrots, swiss chard, or perennial flowers like Holly Hocks, black eyed susans, purple coneflower, etc. I may be interested in annuals too. Or definitely herb seeds.

If it's still available later (or even if the book is now promised to someone), I can save hollyhock seed, anise (3' tall bushes, purple flower spikes) and something that I'll have to research again as to what it is! I"m having a brain cloud right now. It looks like coleous, but will get 3' tall and real bushy in the sun w/ reddish purple and green leaves. It has very small flower spikes and reseeds readily.

I just checked and the only thing I saved was black eyed susan as everything just reseeds all over the area.
I do have some 2009 seed, the germination might be pretty low, but you can have it if you like: lemon basil, swan gourd, Tennessee Spinner gourd -
I'd be happy to share some 2010 seed: pumpkin, zucchini, black diamond watermelon and some yellow crookneck - these are GMO seed, I'm sure as they are Bently which is owned by Monsanto.

Next year I'll have non-GMO seed that I'll save and share.
