Mad German, it won't let me e-mail you, until you add me as a friend? :D

Christina,

 

Yes I do, let me perform a germination test this week, they've been in the garage but should be fine. Email me and let me know what you're needing and I'll set you up.

 

Thanks Mad

TCLynx has some luffas at reasonable prices; but request a seedy one (the peeled luffas are very pretty but the seeds are gone; the ugly ones have lots of seeds).

I am interested in finding some luffa seeds if anyone has any.

Mad German, do you still have some of those giant sunflower and hibiscus seeds? I would love to get my hands on some, but I don't have anything to offer up yet, this season. I am very much a noob to heirloom seeds (heaven forbid, I used hybrids for years!) and aquaponics. I am looking forward to learning all I can!

Teresa,

I just joined this group and came across your comment. The lemon you are speaking of may very well be a "Meyer Lemon" which are known for being on the sweet side and give a LOT of juice. Meyer lemon trees are believed to have originated in China and came to the USA around the turn of the 20th Century. They are thought to be a cross between a Lemon and a Mandarin Orange because they are a bit on the sweet side instead of tart like normal lemons.  They aren't sold in grocery stores so I have to get mine from people in my area who have a tree on their property.  Just 3 or 4 of these lemons provides me with enough juice to last a month! :)

Thank you Teresa, I would love to try growing that lemon and other fruit. I would also like some wild flower seeds but what I need is in that list. At present I have a decent collection of both flower and vegetable seeds so don't really need those at this time but will make good addition to my personal seedbank.

My mailing address is:

No.3 Yangfangdian Rd, 9-1-3, Haidian, Beijing, PRC, 100038

Thank you again & I hope you have a Happy NY too.

Cheers

Hi Carey,  You said US Post, Priority mail is best. 

I have some seeds I collected from a lemon (70 seeds from one lemon-unbelieveable amount).  I made a glass of lemonade from that one lemon and it was so delicious I plan to plant some in the spring.  Unfortunately I do not know what kind of lemon it was.  An 86yr old gentleman I befriended a few years ago brought several lemons from his tree to me on Thanksgiving day. It could be some kind of hybrid, as the taste is not the sour bitter taste I had expected.  It was a nice lemon and citrus flavor.  I can't wait to get more and grow a tree of my own.

I have some veggie seeds I could send, (heirloom), though nothing noted in your list.  Post the address you want us to use to send care packages, lol.

Take care and Happy New Year!
