The Seed Exchange

WANTED: wanted: colorful vegetables

9 years ago

I want to try growing vegetables that come in different colors than "boring"!!!

I see my gardening friends posting pictures of their carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, squashes and other stuff and it comes in purple, orange, red, gold, lavender, white etc etc!!!

But I don't know the names of any of these things. I can rattle off the names of a hundred different flowers, but a carrot is a carrot and a tomato is a tomato.... Lol!!

I have a lot of seeds I can trade, but none of it is other edibles save for some melons.

Please let me know!!

I have old ivory egg tomato-pale yellow egg shaped tomato. See photo of these tomatoes, with a real egg among them.

Copia tomato med beefsteak type, mottled yellow and red.

I have some HOT "afterburner" Chinese white radishes.

I thought they were going to be long, white and mild, boy was I surprised! ooh, ahhhh, woooo!

If you want them.

I have some milder radish mix, that includes Cherry belle and Sparkler white tip.

Detroit red beets, hale's best cantalope,ect.

I will probably have extra seed to silvery fir tree tomato, that has fine, lacy foliage, short bushy stature, and red tomatoes.

if u want any of these, u can send a SASE.
