I'm looking to buy some heirloom seeds and was wondering what site my fellow Canadians use that's reputable. Tia
Seeds of Diversity has samples of 48 varieties of heritage garlic bulbils (these are not the same as cloves/bulbs) available for a limited time.
They cost $15 (this includes shipping) for 5 varieties of bulbils. They guarantee at least 10 bulbils per pack, though I have found usually there is quite a bit more.
To order, click on the store tab (under "About Us") at the Seeds of Diversity website and scroll down to the "Garlic Bulbils Available for Planting" section.
Sales are limited to Canada.
If you plant bulbils, be prepared to wait for two full years before harvesting fully-grown garlic. Information on how to grow garlic bulbils can be found HERE.
I could not moderate or realistically access reddit without 3rd party apps like RIF. Let's all show our support 💙
I thought you could get them from rare seeds.com but couldn’t find any. Just looking for a wide variety of heirloom tomato and pepper plants. Not having much luck at my local greenhouse. Thanks
My patch of dent corn was attacked by rats and I wanted to salvage the corn for seed. they are not dried but are showing signs of denting, if i picked the cobs and let them dry in a safe place would the kernels still be viable?
thank you
Hi Folks,
I see a lot of threads on this sub regarding suggestions for good websites to buy seeds. However, they are mostly US focused. As you know, ordering seeds from other continents is an issue so I was wondering if anyone here know good EU websites to order tomato seeds (Heirlooms).
Much appreciated everyone!
I'm on the search for rare, heirloom garlic varieties. I was wondering if anyone knows of some good website that ship to the UK or of any independent garlic collectors / growers here on the UK shores. Looking forward to hearing back!! I'm already aware of most of the bigger seed companies, I'm looking for really obscure cultivars from far afield. Thanks so much. M
Hello growers, I’m searching for rare, heirloom and heritage seed varieties that have interesting backstories, historical significance or deep indigenous roots. Look forward to hearing back.
Does anyone have experience growing this? Do I understand correctly that it’s white/yellow in the milk stage but turns dark in the dent stage? If so, are there any varieties of sweet corn that are multicolored in the milk stage? Thanks, and I’m so excited to have found this sub!
Haven't found a single site for heirloom gourmet mushroom spores/culture/grow/mycelium/syringe/...seeds. Not with google searching, not with beta.sayhello.so, haven't tried others but I won't beat a dead horse and try to ask when I don't know what questions work in the algorithm. I see heirloom mushrooms, so I know they exist. BUT I DON'T WANT TO BUY IT GROWN, I WANT TO GROW THEM TO DO MY OWN RECYCLING, and for the better price and fun of it. EDIT: seeds4planting on amazon had some black truffle non-gmo, as well as porcini, black morels, golden chanterelle, some other stuff too. Not heirloom specified, but idc if crossbred at this point. (Found it a week after this post)
Hey, new to this reddit. I mainly hear heirloom seeds being talked about in the US. Does anyone know where you can buy heirloom seeds in europe? Either Poland, Portugal or Sweden would be great (I live in two of those places and have family in one).
