Garden Start Up Giveaway - 40 seed packs


I recently hosted a seed swap here in Daytona Beach.  I have lots of seeds left over from the swap and I have put together 2 packages of 20 seed packs each to giveaway.  Twenty seed packs will go out to 2 winners.  The packs include a mix of flowers, vegetables and herbs.  Some of these seeds are from plants that I have grown including Seminole pumpkin and Lemongrass.  Others are from my friend the Wooden Bee of the Backyard Florida Gardening Blog.  Others are from seed or garden companies who donated seed packs that were too old to sell.  These companies include Green Winters of Ormond Beach Florida, Garden Hoard of Livonia, Michigan, and Moonlight Microfarm of South Florida.  Finally there are a bunch of wonderful seeds that were generously donated for the swap by WinterSown.org.  There are still a bunch of seeds here for the community garden, so I am hoping to find good homes for these seeds.  The 20 seed packs are:


Seminole Pumpkin
China Aster
Gloriosa Daisy
Thai Basil
Mini Red Turks Turban Squash
Rose Mallow
Lewis Flax
Mixed Lettuce blend
Bibb Lettuce
Marmande French Heirloom Tomato
Aurum Cherry Tomato
White Scallop Squash
Southern Giant Curled Mustard
Lemongrass
White Milan Turnip
Matt's Wild Cherry Tomato
Summer Carnival Holly Hock
Belemcanda chinensis (She Gan) Lily AKA Blackberry Lily
Rio Grande Tomato
Marigold

SO hard to pick just one favorite! I really love black cherry tomatoes, prolific and sweet!

So many favorites -- heirloom tomatoes in the vegetable garden. David Austin roses by the front door. And peach trees in the back yard.

I have tried Lemon Grass before, with limited success. Have any tips or suggestions for growing it in colder climates?

shannonseibel said...

I would love to try White Milan Turnips in my garden!

Aquarian Bath said...

Floridata is great Susan.

Troy, I am sorry I have never tried to grow lemongrass in a colder climate. It just grows like mad here even when neglected. http://aquarianbath.blogspot.com/2013/01/lemongrass-has-gone-to-seed.html

I FAVORITE garden vegetable has hands down got to be PEAS! I love fresh pea pods straight from the garden. I remember summers as a child, purchasing them by the bagful from the vegetable stand down the street. Forget about the penny candy, I wanted pea pods!!

Michelle said...

My favorite thing to grow are tomatoes-all types. I am a tomatoholic!!

Aquarian Bath said...

I adore peas also. It is the only thing I have a hard time saving seed for, because we love to eat them so much.

Unknown said...

I love tomatoes, especially the ones that burn your mouth they are so acidic!

Julie said...

I think my favorite vegetable to grow is tomatoes. There are so many varieties, and I've had a reasonable amount of success with them in my garden. :) Thanks for the giveaway!

Unknown said...

eanagHello! TY for sharing. That's very kind of you Cory.

I've tried to grow Seminole pumpkin, sadly, w/o success. Would love to try again.

Patty type squash are my favorite squashes. Squash is something that I never get tired of.

Thanks again for doing this. It's a wonderful time of year isn't it? Everyone getting ready for their spring garden.

Wish you much success!

Domestic Diva said...

I like growing herbs; also love kale.

Unknown said...

Are you ready for the cold tonight, Cory?

Aquarian Bath said...

Hi TJ! Yes I was ready last night. My husband misread the report. So all the sheets are next to the bed and ready to go. Reminds me, I need to cover my tomato plants at the community garden though.

How about you?
Cory

LaDonna said...

Tomatoes and bush beans are my favorite plants in the vegetable garden!

I love attempting to grow tomatoes from seed. I'm really bad at it but enjoy it, nonetheless.
