"this corn can be eaten as a sweet corn when young" 

 It CAN be eaten as "corn on the cob", in the young stage, otherwise known as the milky stage, before the kernals mature into the blue coloring stage.

So it was quite a useful multi use plant, to the Hopi, and some modern folks too.

7. Cantaloupe - Hales Best 20 seeds

8. old Acorn Squash seeds - viability unknown 20 seeds

9. Rhubarb seeds - viability unknown, I let the parent plant flower, and set seeds. I pulled of the browned seed pods. The parent plant, is over 40 years old!  I never tried growing rhubarb from seed, and haven't had time to test the viability of the seeds. 10 seeds

Will take just about any veggies in trade, EXCEPT AKA NO hybrids, patented or trademarked seeds, hot peppers, tomatillos, kholrabi, or brussel sprouts.

I'm not heavily into flowers at the moment, and have x flowers already planned for this years garden, but I could use more borage, and calendula.

For herbs, I could use more basil, cilantro and comfrey root divisions/cuttings.

For veggies, I can use more beets, spinach, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabega, and Rose Quartz Tomato.

I will consider whatever you have though.

 I'm not familiar with most flower types, and don't quite know what to do with perennials, because they'll return, and need a permanet place to be, and my plan and bed placement, is not completed yet. I don't want to plant them, and have to dig them up later.

For postage only, Tomatoes only, will be one stamp, or 50 cents paypal. sent in a greeting card & envelope.

Non tomatoes only, or non tomatoes AND tomatoes, will be $1.50 paypal, or 3 stamps to be sent in a reused bubble envelope.

Re: Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter! It was an awesome day in church. We have a new pastor with very different ideas. There's a guy in church with long hair that looks like Jesus. He appeared after the choir sang. He served communion. I still get chills thinking about it.

Re: DIY self watering container

Pepper Rancher, you remind of a story i rarely tell. When I worked in a wholesale nursery, me and my partner, Pat were in charge of filling orders. We were pulling tomato 6 paks. We got down to our last pack and we were short two tomatoes. I grabbed 2 yellow fruiting tomatoes to fill the order. Maybe something like that happened to you? Also I know kids and adults mix up the labels in the garden centers.

Re: DIY self watering container

The plant was purchased from CCN labeled as "Ghost pepper".  When I contacted them explaining that it turned out yellow, they assured me that it was a natural mutation from the ghost pepper seeds that they got from New Mexico Chile Pepper Institute, and that they were indeed ghost peppers...
So either they lied to cover up their mislabel and they are fatalli... or they are yellow ghost peppers.
This is just one season of growth, and it was a neglected almost dead plant mid-season when I put it in there.

PS
Thumbs up on the video if you like it :)  It will help my youtube gardening channel out :)
