Hi:

I'm looking to try my hand at 4 season gardening....so looking for the following:

corn salad(mache), arugula, cress, spinach, orach, mustard greens, pak choi/asian greens, claytonia (miners lettuce), rocket, chicory, parsley, Good King Henry (chenopodium), Mizuna, Minituna, purple top turnip or other cool weather crops that you've had success with.

I have flower seeds to exchange or I could do a SASE.

Many thanks.....Darrylene

    Hi Darrylene,
    I've got some Tyee Spinach, Ming Choi Pak Choy(both Hybrids), and a couple of Broccoli's that mature incredibly fast & don't seem to mind the cold - Raab Zamboni & Purple Sprouting(both OP).
    Let me know if you are interested. If you still have your cayenne, english primrose & gourds I would love to try a few!
    Cheers,
    Nicky
