Looking for your grandparents and parents keep growing for decades

I have tomato's multiple varieties like Japanese black trufle or Russian crimea, peppers a lot of them multiple types of the sweet ones and jalapeño, poblano, padron, lemon drop, letuce and multiple cabbages. I have also coffee seeds (the Australian one till now I was unable to get the Bolivian one)) ephedra seeds, and some more. poppy (got the one used in Turkey) and have also a Nepalese one and some ornamental varieties, some crazy plants that I make myself grafting multiple diferent species in a rootstock like my echinopsis having 9 arms and each one is a diferent echinopsis specie, or joining two that people usually don't do like potato rootstock and I tomato as graft and the inverse that is kinda a joke because it isn't useful and a cool thing that I got from my father a ocimum minimum crossed with a ocimum basilico var thai. (the plant is good looking but i still don't know if the offspring of this cross is viable

Im looking for the breeds u don't hear about like the pepper your dad was been breeding since u remember. And seeing how this change in diferent parts of the world and getting closer to what I can call the "endemic" specie or variety of a region.

So yeah many of my seeds don't have a labeled var I just know where that plant was growing before it reached me and the plant characteristics so if u are OK with a unlabeled tomato from some region of china u could get from me and have something to offer just reach me.

Do seed companies ever send seeds to people who are struggling but have a little land for gardening?

I’ve started a business but it’s far from taking off. I was kind of pushed into this because the last job I had closed. I know it will work but it’s going to be really tight. Do you guys know of any seed companies that send seeds for basic garden vegetables or maybe vegetables that don’t sell well to people who are struggling rather than throwing them out/destroying them?

Update: thank you for everyone sharing their experience or ideas on how to find some free or inexpensive seeds. My local library has seeds for things like peas, carrots, lettuce, etc. and I agreed to give new seeds the first chance I have so someone else can get them if needed for the next growing season.

Looking for various things (thyme, lavender, lupins for example), and have LOTS of different stuff to exchange.

I have a big ol catalogue at the moment, from a variety of sources such as the library, local exchanges, and my own meanderings. (5b)

I’m looking for herb seeds, as well as perennial flowers.

Thyme, rosemary, tarragon, basil, oregano, lemon balm, chamomile, and creeping thyme would all be welcome.

For flowers, I’d love some lupins, and am interested in getting big showy perennials established (delphiniums, columbines, hollyhocks, lavender and the like)

Honestly I’m interested in whatever folks have to trade, I think this is one of the funnest parts of gardening!!

For my self, I’ve got all kinds of veggies, flowers, and even a hyacinth bulb or two to exchange (both store bought, or collected out in the world)

Seed exchange

I have some watercress if anyone wants to trade something. Let me know what you have, I grew some indoors of another pack and it got to the size of microgreens, but I don't have a continuous water source to grow outside for them to get bigger. 300 seeds in an unopened pack,I bought it in April of this year. I also have extra hollyhock seed and purple morning glory seeds.

Spineless Water Caltrop

Does anyone have, or know where to get, the spineless varieties of water caltrop that come from India? I have seen the spiny devil head looking ones for sale, but not the spineless. It seems like the spineless ones would make a much better food crop!

Looking for TSP potato seeds

I'm really excited to try potato breeding. Looking for TSP potato seed of any kind to start sprouting and growing known-flowering varieties. I love the long finger or "ginger root" shaped potatoes, and purple ANYTHING. I have a huge list of seeds I can offer if anyone has potato, or I'm happy to shoot a few dollars over a cash app to cover shipping.
