Seed & Plant: Inventory & Trading

January 28, 2012 Update:  I’m behind in updating the following list, just a bit.  I may or may not be out of occasional things so just give me a holler and I’ll check if you see something you want.

For those who have traded with me before, you might notice a slight change of direction in my tastes.  I’ve begun shifting things towards simplicity.  I’m working on developing my own adaptivar landraces for most things.  My years of stressing out about keeping the various cultivars & strains separate and pure are over.  Hrmph.  (My eternal thanks to Joseph for the inspiration!)

Those listings crossed out, I have just enough left for me to grow for seed.  If you really, really want some, go ahead and beg and I’ll send you a few if I can so you can grow out for seed.
