Seeds!

I spent some time last week going through and packaging up all the seeds I have saved so far this year, and I realized – like probably many of you – that I have way more than I can possibly sow next year (or in the next five years, in some cases!). ย One of the most important things you can do as a gardener is to save seeds (and share them if you’re able to do so). ย It is not only rewarding, but essential to the sustainability and preservation of future crops – not to mention maintaining diversity. ย And it doesn’t matter if the plants are “common” – everything counts…or will, someday.

So…I have a bunch of surplus seeds I’d like to share with you, if you’re interested. ย These selections completely fall into the category of “common” plants. ย But it’s nice to get free seeds! ย Right?

This is what I have to offer:

CALENDULA

LUPINE

(Perennial, hardy to zone 3)

ROCK SOAPWORT

(Perennial, hardy to zone 3) – you can read my blog entry about this plant here)

soapwortfp

CHERVIL

(Herb)

All of my plants are grown chemical-free. And while I did my best to ensure proper collection and storage, there is always a risk that some of the seeds may not germinate. ย I’ve tried to put a good amount in each package to hopefully combat that, and you’ll have to keep them stored properly until you decide to use them.

Unfortunately, I can’t send them to locations outside of Canada – I wish I could! ย But if you live in this country, ย click on my Contact Form and write your name and mailing address, as well as the types of seeds you’re interested in. ย I have a very small gardening space so I only have limited quantities, but I’ll try to get you what you want. ย I will mail them out as soon as I can – you should get them within about two weeks.

Enjoy! ย ๐Ÿ™‚

    How very generous of you. I love collecting seeds and have a shelf full, some will germinate years later.

      It’s such a wonderful feeling to know that there are seeds stored away for future use! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Good morning! Are you located in Labrador or Los Angeles? I will gladly send the seeds if it’s the former (in my first reply, I automatically assumed it was the latter but perhaps not)! Please let me know and I’ll get back to you asap! ๐Ÿ™‚
