Thanks
@pod. Cilantro is definitely on my herb list. Other herbs would be Basil, Dill and Parsley. I know that there are several types of each but I haven't gotten that far.
Not sure if Arugula is a veg or an herb. Victory Seeds has it under herbs.
And now, in no particular order, are some of the vegetables that I'd like to get for the Dallas Public Seed Library. (I'm donating
all almost all of the seeds there.) Some of them I grew when I lived in Austin but only grew them from transplants, not seeds. Thus I don't know if it's too late for starting seeds.
Lettuce
Spinach
Kale
Collards
Mustard
Swiss Chard
and maybe some Carrots, Beans, Peas, and Turnips.
One thing that the Seed Librarian told me the other day was that most of the people who have been 'checking out' seeds are beginning gardeners. He also said that the Seed Library is pretty wiped out. (Feel free to donate.) BTW - in case anyone is unfamiliar with the Dallas Seed Library, the main thing to know is that you don't have to live in Dallas to use it. But you'd have to drive to the main branch of the Dallas Public Library in downtown Dallas. (No small feat.)
I can also get seeds for wildflowers (think Bluebonnets) and various other flowers, including tropical milkweed. I barely got that far last night when I was reading thru the Victory Seeds online catalog. It was making me hungry and I had to quit.
Actually, I know that beans would be a stretch, but there are some on the 'endangered' list that I thought it would be nice to support. And if need be, some seeds can be ordered when it's time for spring planting.
And . . . since many of the seed packets have 350 or more seeds, I
might be persuaded to share some with friendly Texas gardeners.
Thanks again for any advice.
