WANTED: All Sorts of seeds

19 years ago

I am looking for any variety of Climbing Butter Beans. Especially the ones that Watkins (now Yates) put out a few years ago.

I am at the moment using the Carnival brand from The Warehouse but they do not seem to be doing as well as the Yates variety.

I know that Kings put out a bean seed but I was wondering whether anybody had the old Yates variety available.

I am also looking for dahlia tubers. I used to have several hundred different varieties but with time and shifting tubers have died or were lost.

Contact me through this page and we will set up something.

I would like to swap vege seeds of all kinds with anyone interested so let me know all who read this. karlene66@hotmail.com

Recently I got interested in maintaining seed stocks because MAF is destroying all incoming legumes and I can't find my favourite bean seeds anywhere. So count me in if you wish to organize something. Currently I have only ordinary varieties of veg and flowers that we plant year to year. But I would be happy to help grow and maintain an NZ seedbank or something. I do have a small amount of NZ soybean developed by Crop and Food before life got so complicated. If there is interest I'm happy to share. Selected for hardy, cool climate.

Merry Christmas!! I am so humbled and thankful for the appreciation and compliments. I was SO worried..lol. I tried really hard to find at least SOME things on wish lists and share other things that I had just a bit of. I'm just plain thrilled that everyone seems so happy thus far. Thanks to all of you for making this a fun and wonderful Christmas that I hope we can start a yearly tradition of doing. OH~ and by the way, our dear Texaspinkie's seed package finally arrived after looking thru many many states...lol. I'll be talking to her after Christmas about how to proceed with getting these seeds out to you all. If you receive a card in the mail.. that'd be why :) Merry Christmas to you all, may you find peace and joy in your gardens and in your lives in the coming year. ~Wendy
