Seed Shopping

[ysabetwordsmith]

Today I set up the first order targeted for self-replicating seeds. These include landrace, grex, wild-collected, old garden, mixed, etc. options. Some of these are primarily for insects, some for birds, some for humans, and many for multiple users. :D I want to see if these types grow better than commercial varieties, especially after last year's frustrating experience of planting several packets of sunflower seeds to get only two (admittedly gorgeous) plants. I also want my garden to have a happy hippie sex life with promiscuous pollination. Promiscuous plants tend to have open, accessible flowers that produce lots of pollen and nectar to attract pollinators.

Note that I bought the minimum quantity of each; some are also available in larger packets. Most of these are $3-4 packets.
