Seed Keepers

["John Kane" <jkane6@students.kennesaw.edu>]

I have seeds from some lovely elm trees and also heirloom snapdragons from the period gardens at the Marietta (Georgia) historical museum. I also have some white oak, Chinese sawtooth oak, and willow oak acorns. No vegetables as yet, but I have high hopes for this fall.

To the  Seed Keepers,

 

I just want to say thanks to Lawrence London for putting this list on the web and so carefully and prudently leading us through a name change and taking care of all the changes necessary.  I know I speak for many as I appreciate his good work.  Thank you, Lawrence.

 

And thanks also to all the rest of you who have answered questions, shared information - the links to useful web pages and lists of good seed companies and other seed saving groups.  This is shaping up to be a great community here.  Let's keep focused on seed.

 

Now, let us get back to sharing seeds and information and encouragment.

 

I have been going through my seeds and like many of you, I've started planting indoors.  I see I have a few more extra seeds of my family's favorite winter squash - Sweetmeat - which I am willing to share or trade...  This is an old NorthWest USA favorite - developed by the Gill Seed Company in Oregon a long time ago.  We've been selecting seed keeping for about 20 years here. I expect a few times over the years a bit of pollen from another C maxima has found its way into this wonderful squash but I cannot see any effect from any outcrossing - certainly not detrimental - this is one of  the wonders of the gardening world.   It's  a medium size (8 lb) long keeper of the very best eating quality.  I'm happy to send 6 seeds to a few folks here  who request some.  I'm still looking for pole beans to try out and possibly incude in our collection too. 

 

all best wishes to Seed Keepers

Woody
