Fall bouquet for your enjoyment!

We’ve got two varieties of Nigella, two of Allium, and two of perennial Poppies. Also a couple of Cardoons.

https://www.freeheirloomseeds.org/ Incredible low-tech website just sending seeds in the mail on a site that looks very 1998!

Growing things, hand-coded websites, and free things in the mail are some of my favorite things #indieweb #website #seeds #snailmail

The lovely family running http://www.seedfreaks.com.au are shutting up online sales for a couple years as of Oct 1st so that they can look after their toddler. So if you want some fantastic heirloom and heritage seeds, scoot over and order fast.

"To reduce direct competition for space and resources between parent and offspring #plants, there is an evolutionary drive for plants to disperse their seeds as far as they possibly can... the #SquirtingCucumber uses high-pressure explosions to eject its #seeds at high speed across large distances... the seeds can achieve speeds up to 46 km/h and reach shooting distances up to 12 m"

Dear masto, anyone of you newly into, or further into chili 🌶️ and would like a collection of seeds from me?
The seeds are probably 10 years old, that's about when my stomach decided against chili forever, but it's always fun to try to germinate old seeds, and I'll pay for shipping! All I want in return is photos next year when you start growing them in January!

They are labeled, and I can look up what I have if you want to know in advance. One of them, my favourite, grows in a gorgeous upright bouquet 💐 (it's not ornamental, I got it from the supermarket but never recorded it's name)

I want to send them all to the same person, and not several different people.

Boosts welcome so these seeds can get a new loving home! 💞

editing and boosting because seed catalogs are hitting the mailbox:

Because I was still on the mailing list for some reason, let me remind you to NOT BUY from #BakerCreekSeeds because of their blatant support of right wing ideologies and white supremacy.

Better options: High Mowing Seeds, Sow True Seed, Heritage Seed Market, Alliance of Native Seedkeepers, Southern Exposure Seed Exchange, Fedco Seed.
