Seeds Saved at Home  2007

We have decided to have a rather minimal approach to Seed Saving this season, so as a result we will have very few seeds to offer.


We can no longer send orders to the United States.
We hope website visitors from the US enjoy their visit nevertheless.

Remember that open pollinated(OP) seeds do not always give a plant exactly like the seed parent.
We have NOT done germination tests on all. Some seeds are in small quantities.
Please note that some are not available (NA)

- For more information on the requirements for germination check out the following links -
