Seeds I have to trade:

• Free Seed and Plants by Garden Visit, or SASE.
• SASE Method #1: email, then send postage with note Via Paypal, addressed to: 4jules@chek.com. Put your address & Want list in the detail box. I have padded envelopes, and use US Priority Mail boxes, so I welcome their labels/Postage if Dahlia Tubers are wanted, live plants, or enuf stuff for a larger box.

• Edibles/Herbs:
• Varied mescluin mix seed:
• Purslane (good in salads)
• Arugala - a couple kinds, peppery.
• Green Amaranthus - Edible leaves & seeds in August when most other leafy things are done. 'Viridis'Amaranthaceae. *Not* OK in some areas - eat young leaves a few weeks, then YANK stalk for compost *before* seeding begins - OR don't grow! Tiny seed keeps coming even if cut regularly for the kitchen. Chop/stir fry or stir into Pasta Sauce.
• Elephant Garlic Seed
• Pearl Onion
• Catawissa Onion
• Chinese Garlic Chive (Glossy, broad sword-leaves Oct-May) YUMMY! (Seed or Perennial bulbs; edible white blooms form small angular black seed as they dry, cut and put in a bag to collect)

• Salad Burnett - tiny leaves w/scalloped edges - dark green -look neat in salads. Easy to grow. Seed pods interesting. Great in Cucumber salad.

• Dahlia Tubers - still some dry guys left July 2006!
• California Achillea (soft pink/white) forms a soft spreading mat of verdant green, with relaxed flowers leaning to all sides. I use this in a roadside bed. No mowing, spreading evergreen.
