Seeds Saved at Home 2009

They are FREE to good homes

Should you wish to send a postage stamp or two AFTER you receive your seeds that is entirely optional.

SPRING 2010 UPDATE - April1, 2010

Many seed types should not be planted at this late date, some are marked. **
This includes those that require longer periods of stratification and/or alternating warm/ cold periods. Seed freshness also becomes an issue for some types.
Slow growing plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons, kalmia, pieris and leucothoe do best when sown in the fall indoors. Seed from these Ericaceous plants is quite long-lived when stored in the fridge in an airtight jar.
