Poultry Talk Ontario (pto.ca)

I've got extra seed that I'd be happy to share if anyone is interested. If you see something you'd like to try, let me know and if we can't meet up, I can mail them or possibly piggyback them with someone going your way. Also, if you have any extra seeds you are willing to share, post your list here as well! Also, want lists...for instance, I personally am looking for pumpkin varieties, since rodents found my stash of Big Max and Sugar Pie and ate everything but Kakai!!! Usually I wrap cucurbit seeds in tinfoil, but I got lazy last year with the pumpkins. I'm also looking for Romano beans, english-type cucumbers, tomatoes, sweet bell pepper varieties, zucchini, icebox type watermelon, or really anything you don't need or won't plant I love to try a new variety or five every year.

All varieties are heirlooms unless otherwise noted, All tomatoes are indeterminate unless otherwise noted. The "Jan's Special" varieties are ones that started life as hybrid seeds or plants years ago, but I've saved seed year to year because the offspring performance has been consistent and as good as, or better than the original. Original variety that gave rise to these seeds is noted.

Tomato varieties:
Azoychka (medium sized yellow beefsteak type)
Believe it or Not (huge beefsteak)
Cow's Tit (paste type)
Gardener's Delight (red cherry)
Howard German (paste type)
Jan's Special "Nugget" (orange grape/mini-plum)
Jan's Special "Super Sweet 100" (red cherry)
Persimmon (Orange beefsteak type, extra large)
Roma (paste type, INDETERMINATE)
San Marzano (paste type)

Calendula, Double Yellow
Cantaloupe (Hale's Best Jumbo)

Cucumber (Chicago Pickling)

Stodgy rich folks that buy annuals at garden centers every year, then pat themselves on the back at how much better their own yard looks compared to the other members'
