yeah i have a bunch of milder varieties growing and some sweet too.
sweet i have cali wonders, king arthurs, orange and purple beauties, cubanelles, giant marconi, greek pepperoncini, and tangerine dream (they can be a bit hot towards the stem)
milder 1s i have are jalapeno, ancho, cherry bombs (cool 1s that grow upwards like ornamentals) and shishito (but sometimes they are solely sweet..hit or miss) and anaheim.
then the list continues bumped up in heat lol
i will defo list everything before the swap starts, im kinda superstitious when it comes to appeasing the pepper gods, so i dont want to count my eggs before they hatch, so to speak lol

I'm afraid most of my seeds are going to be commercial this year. Things are flowering very strangely. The godetia are just reaching peak in July!?! The campanula hasn't bloomed yet but the dianthus has finally started blooming. I haven't even started any summer flowering seeds yet! I still have a ton of seedlings to plant but no room since the Spring plants aren't done. I hope my petunias survive in peat pots! And I haven't seen a lot of pollinators which is worrisome. The daylilies have finally brought in some bees. All I seem to have is flies, ants and mosquitos!

Elena,

I understand what you mean about the strangeness. We are too. Even though spring was basically the beginning of March, things that should have bloomed by now are just beginning, things that shouldn't have, did. Our spring is ending now in a weird way. Usually, June 1st, the heat is coming and the rains are gone. This year, we still have rain. The weather is trying to take my gardens out this weekend, but we are prevailing. So far. Usually by now, we're already in the hundreds and dry as a bone. I'm still not watering like I should be due to the rain we get. Hang in there, they will come, just later than usual.

I will look for commercial seeds in a while , some of vegetables I have ,
plants are really taking their time this season
Hemerocallis , small sprouts , Have about 8 or 9 of these here


sprouted some Beard's Tongue in the fridge Next to the clod in the middle , these are tiny 4 or 5 weeks at 40 degrees
and sprouts




Morning Glory , looking september or october for these to bloom





Almost Double now , Orange Mandarin Echinacea , It is Cardinal flower red though

You guys need to move to PA lol I'm on the verge of a legit jungle. I haven't seen many bees either. Has me contemplating starting an on-site colony next year....free local honey too!!!

J Erb -you should! We can both start and compare notes. I have been wanting to have my own bee hive for awhile now. It looks like I just might get that chance...

I'm pretty sure my husband and I have found a house, so if all goes well, we will be moving in the next 2 months!

then we could wear those cool suits! lol
congrats on the new house!!! good news.

tbh haha i dont think im truly doing bees lol. im kinda allergic and, most importantly, im a pepper addict...they self pollinate ;)
you should do it tho dnd! would be cool AND useful

Dnd! I am so excited for you! This house has been a long time coming for you. You are going to have to post pictures when you get this secured. And this will be just in time for the swap. Let us know how it goes. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, you two!

I am trying not to count my chickens before they hatch because a lot rests on the appraisal, but we don't anticipate any issues.

i hope this mod MikeD gets online one if these days to ok my pics ive submitted for some acorns to purchase not a raffle raffle tickets with haha ... peter pepper seeds or bust!

JErb it tends to take awhile. I'm not even sure MikeD is still moderator. The last couple of times someone else approved my stuff.

The peanuts are coming along. Here's a pic of one plant.



I'm going to need to move all the stuff around it. I put it there so the stray cats won't use it as a litter box. It's hard to see in the next picture but it's starting to get flowers!

All my other ones were approved by other mods...the 13 remaining all have miked posted as the mod to approve or disapprove lol. Wake up miked haha

Robertduval just approved my photos..15 new acorns!!

Elena did you plant store bought peanuts? Real cool

No I bought the seeds. They are supposed to be wild jungle peanuts. Supposed to be striped and taste different. The seeds were striped. If I get some peanuts I'll offer them for the swap (if they taste good).

Jungle peanuts, eh? Sounds so exotic!

Is it already that time of year again, time sure does fly. I'm glad we are getting a jump on the trade talks early this year. I'll go ahead and start collecting now and maybe come November I'll have some unique things to share. Thanks for hosting another trade DND last year was a blast.

Always welcome! ;) I'm looking forward to seeing what seeds you have available this year. There is still plenty of time before the swap to list...

So far only the Daylily and maybe the poppy are all of some interest that I have ,
a Double Gardenia From Elena
a Pardon me from libby ,, These are growing only will be a while ,

My drama queen poppy did not do all that well A couple finger full offers I might do ,
About 12or 13 Jars of seeds are finishing though ,,
