Is anyone adding in melons/squash/cukes as bonuses? I don't have any this year, just curious. You know, to add to our rutabaga swap or whatever we said last year.

I might have some watermelon seed if I can convince my kids we don't need several hundred for ourselves. If I can figure out how without hurting myself I might also have some okra seeds.



I have been updating my slot on the spreadsheet as I fill packs and put them in the bag. I will post a list when I am done.

Last month I sent 10 Bags of Charleston Gray Watermelon to Gary. Seeds were saved from a 40lb. specimen in 2015.

Failed to mention I grew melons off those 2015 seeds this season. Did not get any 40 pounders but did get a couple about 25 lbs. and several in the 8-10 lb range...

I have been lurking and resisting signing up for the MMMM, although I could not until I got approved which was just a few days ago. I was strong but spacetogrow's pepper and pea list sucked me in!

So far, these are ready for new homes:

Priddy (non-dwarf)
Holyland
Eva Purple Ball
German Johnson
Murry Smith
Purple Dog Creek
Bedoin/Bedouin
Red Debarao
Blush
Opalka
Thessalonki
Couilles de Taureau

I also have packets of several favorites but the labels on the plates were mixed up.
The varieties are packed separately so you can determine which is what when you see the fruit develop. The bundle will include some of the following:
Magnif Pointe
Magnif Olympia
Murry Smith
????

So I have some okra, but I have not saved seed from it before (this is actually the first year I grew it). I let the pods dry on the plant outside, I have heard this improves germination. But how many seeds should I include per packet?
