Jim, you probably already saw this, but if you're looking for more Parris Island Cos seeds, I have some self-harvested seeds from this year.

If I remember, and there's extras left, I'll stick in some Valmaine romaine.

I think I got a bonus pkt once, of "Red Romaine". But I would have to find it and split it, so don't assume I'll manage that. 'Tis the season to be hectic.

'Flashy Trout's Back' = 'Forellenschluss' = Austrian heirloom is a loose, open head speckled romaine, and I know I'm going to split up a recent commercial pkt of that.

I also know I'm going to split and label this recent purchase:
Breen Lettuce 45 DTM = Red mini Romaine type w' pale green mid-rib and veins
Early, compact 8" tall mini head. Medium bronze red.
Best for mini heads, also for red baby leaves.

I seem to mostly have "oddball" romaines!

I really appreciate that , Hurray! Got to have my chlorophyll , Hilarious!

usually more seeds than this year here , sunflowers and few got going , everything else hum drummed through the season ,

Some of these photo's are fuzzy , the humidity here in part does this ,,
I have a few of these hanging around , these are walking onions ,, they remind me of the old onion potato soup that was served years ago . an off tasting critter If you like I have a few of these , Try for bean size I will ,, some are too big

This picture below was suppose to be a lime basil , it tastes like lemon cleaner , but it turns red purple in the cold , , has not seeded and is 4 ? years old this year ,, Red Basil what is about this , Basil is not perennial here ,, This could be a red lemon catagrass basil ,, yeah that is what the older folks called it .. I don't think a Thai Basil would either (be perennial here) This took two weeks of well below zero last and the year before . I am perplexed . Red Mint or Red Basil .. nice puzzle to have so far ,,
usually a few seeds of these things I have

I have everything bagged I have listed , Couple I have listed ,labeled ,are misplaced , After Christmas the week before actually trading starts , gives me time to look over any "wrongs"
Any that are already easy labeled , to add to the trade I may do so ,

Planted some seeds yesterday , greens to go with ?

That mustard seed tragedy and a few labels got washed of a couple big bags ,, Gave me the idea to wait until everybody was into something else after the holiday ,

The little Baptisia plants I have growing are from seeds from 2010 that I tried this year , That is another the info says declines rapidly as a seed , not so ,, they go hard dormant for a while though , might not grow for a couple years , then they will again ,, not difficult with say 8 or 10 seeds , always usually a few ,
I know they keep as long as Tomato seeds (roughly)

Good to know, Jim! Thank you for sharing your results.

No worries, I imagine that's the same for everyone. Big Grin I encourage everyone to re-check the lists on the 2nd or early on the 3rd because I anticipate a bunch of changes will happen once everyone is back from their vacations and holiday parties. Smiling

I just listed some Livingstone Daisy seeds from 2008. Just wanted to assure everyone that they are viable. I grew plants from this pack in 2014 & 2015. I even was able to harvest seed this year but it all got taken in the Beta swap.

Thanks jimard8 but that is a bit tall for me and salvias really aren't my thing. Save it for someone that really loves them. There are lots of people on ATP that really do!
