UPDATE: As of right now all seeds have been claimed. I can repost if I am able to gather more seeds to distribute. Thank you for your interest.

Do you want to start gardening with your pandemic mandated free time? Do you want to supply food for yourself to circumvent large supply chains and crowded grocery stores? Does this describe someone you know who isn't on Reddit or on this sub?

Growing your own food connects you to your food, the land you grow it on, the ecology that surrounds you, and the community that supports you. To encourage a household abundance of nutritious food and to establish those connections I want to offer as many people as possible seeds to start their own victory gardens. To stretch the resources as much as possible the total amount of seeds will be slightly under 1 ounce. It won't be enough for a 20 acre plot, but hopefully enough for the average home garden. Included in the letter is...

2 herbs (either basil, parsley, or dill)

Scallions

Red veined sorrel

Turnips

1 leafy green (either lettuce or kale)

1 fruiting crop (either cucumbers, tomatoes, or bell peppers)

The options are randomized and exist because I'll probably run out of one crop in the process of filling these. I'm sorry but I will probably not be able to accommodate special requests or mixes. These are free seeds for anyone who wants to grow food for themselves.

If your interested in a small variety pack of seeds message your mailing address. I will send you the seeds and a small rant on why I think gardening is essential and some basic instructions. Limit one packet per username. See update

Thanks and happy gardening.

i am glad i helped inspire it

To keep it simple, I've spent the last 7 years of cross breeding peppers, supper hots with some sweets.

I fear my work over the years might go to waste due to personal circumstances and I absolutely do not want that to happen. Basically send me a DM and we plan out delivery of seeds. You sending an envelope, with a stamp, I'll label what little packet in paper with crossbreed and year.

Understand I put quite a few years into my projects and i want to distribute what I can before the seeds might become nonviable. I don't want to see the years upon years of work just wasted.

Below is what I have, in no particular order. I'm willing to give some away, or trade for other seeds/plants/anything interesting. With the exception of the buckwheat, it's all from Everwilde Farms or Sand Mountain Herbs. I'd be mailing them from New Hampshire.

Kitchen Sage

White Sage (I have a few left if someone really wants to grow some, but these have had a pretty low germ rate for me)

Hyssop

Anise Hyssop

Italian Large Leaf Basil

Genovese Basil (I have lots of this, the best basil for making pesto)

Common Thyme

Borage

Buckwheat

Wormwood

Blue seeded poppy

Yarrow

Purple Foxglove (poisonous)

Nightshade (only have a few of these as well. Poisonous)

edit I ordered and just got in 500 tiny little plastic bags from Amazon... so I'm getting all the requests I've gotten so far ready to ship out to people this week. I'll still have a bunch of most of them, so if anyone wants anything just let me know! I'd be happy even getting pictures of the plants growing in return, I just like sharing :-)

I have way too many cosmos seeds, and will send a handful to anyone who wants some.

Edit: all out. Was expecting to do 20, and ended up doing ~35. Good luck everyone!

Got a little drunk about a month ago and ordered way too many seeds.

I also have way more stamps than I can possibly use.

Send me a PM with your 1st request and backup request, and address.

1 request per "customer".

Will send 15-30 seeds depending on demand to each requestor in the envelope itself.

Here's what I have:

• Sweet banana Peppers

• Purple Cherokee Tomatoes

• Reisentraube Cherry Tomatoes

• Red Pear Tomatoes

• Anna Russian Tomatoes

All of the above were from: https://www.ebay.ca/sch/007miki007/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= a

I have some treated "Bush Beefsteak" tomato seeds that are red, so I may throw in a few of those in each envelope and you can pick them out.

Looking to send about 20 batches of FREE seeds from Toronto for your planting this season.

All refunds will be processed instantly.

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.

The sage (~40-50 seeds) and thyme (~150 seeds) I have growing in abundance. They overwintered well so I do not need any more. Turns out I don't like parsley (extra curled dwarf, packet of 1300 seeds). The marjoram (sweet, packet of 2000 seeds) grew well but I made a mistake buying the annual variety and it did not overwinter (here in zone 7a), so I'm looking to offload them as well.

I am looking for Asian veggie seeds (bok choy, gai lan etc) and English/seedless cucumber. That might be a long shot so trade isn't a must. I'm happy to just send the seeds I have on to someone else who can use them. I'll send to as many people as I can divide my stash up into, thanks, happy planting!

Helo everybody,Im an up and coming gardening hailing from Tanzania east Africa,Im looking for seeds from different countries and climates,for herbs,spices and fruits.thanks

Hi. I have a lot of swamp milkweed seeds to give away. Happy to send a lot to anyone who can use a lot or give them away to others who will. I can grow the plants and collect the seeds but I don't have time to get to seed swaps!! Also some common MW but more swamp.

Not looking for anything in particular, native plants, poppies, sunflowers, hot peppers or those secret plants we grow but don't talk about here.

Dm me, if we are trading cool but if you just want seeds then I'd like a self addressed (your address)and stamped envelope along with a note thatmentions the tobacco seeds because I'll forget. I am super forgetful so when you dm me please mention the tobacco seeds.

Would love to trade for some heirloom seeds. Would particularly love some watermelon, melon, special family peppers (super hots) looking for those seeds that have been past down in your family that are way better than normal anything else unusual and special.

Thanks!

Does ANYONE have a brighamia insignis....male? They're more commonly known as Olulu plants. I've got a female but need a male for seed. Like I said, this is the proverbial needle in a haystack, but I gotta try. Thanks!

First year garden, so nothing to trade (yet). Willing to send a SASE and can replenish the seed once harvested if you like. Need anything that is edible. Trying to garden instead of buying Monsanto food at the grocery store. Appreciate the help if you can!

I am currently looking for the following herbs:

Sweetgrass

Patchouli

Lavender

Lemon verbena

Chamomile

Lemon balm

Bee balm (bergamot)

Borage

Catnip

Valerian

Yarrow

Pineapple sage

Amethyst basil

Banana mint

spearmint

I will send a SASE (self addressed and stamped envelope) to you to pay for postage.
