I've spent the past week organizing my seed orders for this coming year. Before I place the orders, I thought I'd see whether anyone out there has reliable seeds (or even better yet for folks around Portland Oregon, plant divisions!) I could trade for. Most of the seeds I order will probably come in packets with more seeds than what I need, so I could trade those, or trade some of the plants we have around the yard, or the extra plants listed at my Discount Permaculture website. If you have extras of any of the following and want to trade, please email me at scrub@corrupt.net

That is a huge number of plant varieties! I can't wait to see the photos of your garden.
Are you also going to grow more "traditional" food crops like tomatoes ? Are all these varieties what you want to eat or is this more for research?
I can send you some butterfly weed seeds (A tuberose). I also have a ton of canna bulbs- some I dug up and some in the ground. I will talk to me wife about wether she really wants to replant them- I don't like them much, I think she wants to keep them.

Hi waehner,
We want to grow all the plants on the list I posted in part so that we can eat them in the short term, in part so that we can gain experience with them (especially the natives we may wind up harvesting from wild patches in the future), in part so that we can research their value integrated into forest garden systems, and in part so that we can propagate and spread them around to others or use them to rewild degraded natural spaces with food-bearing plants.
We will also grow some standard annual vegetables this coming year...we want to shift away from annuals as much as possible and replace them with perennials and self-seeding annuals/biennials, but we may not find acceptable substitutes for all the annuals! I think we have enough perennial greens planned that we won't need to bother with annual greens anymore, and I feel excited about all the perennial root crops we'll be trying out which could allow us to mostly or entirely phase out the carrots, beets, turnips, parsnips, radishes, etc (unless we can get self-seeding patches of some of those; Samuel Thayer includes wild parsnips in his book The Forager's Harvest.)
I expect we'll still grow some tomatoes and squashes, though maybe we can get them to become self-seeding patches themselves). Maybe we'll grow some spices like cumin, stevia for sweetener, etc...
I'll email you directly about your kind offer of canna bulbs & Asclepias seeds, thanks!
I found this page by searching for a source for hog peanut seeds. I'm interested in planting my zone 5, northeast, wet shady area behind my house with native edible plants, so I'm compiling a little list, but having trouble finding sources for seeds or plants. What a big list you have! Where do you find these things? How is your project going?
I have some scarlet runner bean seeds I could share with you, but they're old so I don't know if they're still alive. There are also some ramps in the woods near me, so I could gather seeds of those fresh this year and send them to you if you want to trade.

Hi Norris,
I see you planned to buy:
Peltaria alliacea - Garlic cress
Cardamine hirsuta - Hairy bittercress
Oxyria digyna - Mountain sorrel
How do it go?
And could you let me know a source for the seeds? (I'm in Denmark.)
For what it's worth, my favourites are red mustard, saisai, sorrel and 'beauty heart' radish.
John
Aloha,
Writing from the beautiful Island of Kauai, Hawaii and stumbled upon your site searching for the livingstone potato. I have not been unable to source the tuber locally and haven't had much luck online. I was wondering where you aquired such an amazing plant. Given that the island of Kauai imports about 93% off all consumed goods, it makes sense to create some local food infrastructure and the livingstone potato could be one of the foundations. You never know when the boats might stop coming. I would be happy to track down some tropical seeds if you're interested in a trade. Much Mahalo,
Troy
