Only the lettuce was a little annoying and luckily didn't take up too much space.<br /><br />June, you're welcome<br /><br />Miss M, you are in and seeds have been counted.<br /><br />Dan, yup somethings went very fast. I think the dried beans might have been the most popular at this point, but I made sure I saved plenty of dried beans and I could always break into my stash of eating seeds. Though admittedly I didn't make sure they were absolutely dry before freezing.<br /><br />kitsapFG, I got it. It will go out today probably.<br /><br />GartenGrl, labels are useful. I've been drying my tomatoes on old coffee filters. I always write on the filters so I don't mix them up. You might just have to grow them out to figure out what you have.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-17601363219911406922009-12-16T13:13:58.608-05:002009-12-16T13:13:58.608-05:00This is kind of my first year collecting seeds...a...This is kind of my first year collecting seeds...and they are all mixed up...erg.<br />I should have been more careful in my collecting and keeping them separate from each other:)<br />GartenGrlGartenGrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094716555306531308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-62032637764093319952009-12-16T09:36:35.387-05:002009-12-16T09:36:35.387-05:00Thank you so much for your generous offering.

A lot of things have run out already (I've crossed them off above), but there are several things that I have tons of that I really doubt will all go. Send me your email with what you want before it disappears. It is fun seeing what people want. Lettuce seems to be the most popular. And the eggplant disappeared quickly.<br /><br />Tenessa, Good luck on that new garden. It is always exciting to try something new.<br /><br />Jody, I already sent you what I wanted :> now you send me your list.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-39436667261937983622009-12-15T13:07:45.812-05:002009-12-15T13:07:45.812-05:00Look at all those beautiful seeds!

I would like to snag a few of them if that's ok. I'd like to try the slim jim eggplant, the early jalapeno's, the zucchini, and the pineapple tomatillo. I'm starting my first real garden next year in raised sfg beds. I've already got my garlic planted and am going to wintersow some of my tomatoes to try it out. Hopefully I will be able to start my own garden blog next spring! You can contact me at tenessaa@roadrunner.com THANK YOU!<br /><br />ps. EG I follow your blog too.

What a generous gesture on your part. Naturally, I have a few on your list that, having followed their progress through the year, I'd love to try, so I'll be one of the thousands sending you an e-mail.

Even if you grow them right next to one another crossing will be low (but possible). You can read about it here:<br />http://daphnesdandelions.blogspot.com/2009/09/collecting-lettuce-seed.html<br />Beans, peas, and tomatoes are similar since they also usually self pollinate before they open. The others (except the pepper) I only grew on of that species so they wouldn't cross. The peppers were the hardest. I had three kinds and peppers will self pollinate readily, but they are also cross pollinated with insects. So I made a screen cage to put over one while some peppers set. Then I took off the cage and marked the isolated peppers and just saved seed from them. <br /><br />If you want to get into seed saving I highly recommend Seed To Seed by Susanne Ashworth as a reference. The book is well organized and has most of the things that you want to grow. It will tell you whan is easy to save and what is not.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-57131801438993845252009-12-15T09:12:19.183-05:002009-12-15T09:12:19.183-05:00Daphne - I'd be really interested in how you s...Daphne - I'd be really interested in how you save seeds from some varieties of veggies - particularly lettuce...Jeff Vandiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200011426236637927noreply@blogger.com
