Seed/Plant Search

17 years ago

I've been thinking about this for quite a long time and can't see why it couldn't be added... when searching member's trade pages for certain seeds/plants, why can we not include a search criteria for Canada vs. USA. Currently when I search for a specific seed, I have to read through all the member profiles that come up, to see that they are all USA members. As a CDN I can not legally get seeds from American citizens without going through the phyto certificate process which kinda defeats the purpose of trading seeds inexpensively. If we could add CDN/USA search criteria to what's already there, it would make searches for specific seeds MUCH more efficient.

Thanks,

barb yes can you just need to find the small seed quantity importation form filled it out by the American sending you the seed. There is similar form that would need to be filled out if decide to send seed to an American.

But if it's that simple then why aren't Canadians allowed on the American/USA seed exchange forum? It's set up so that CDN's can't post there.

If you can't find seeds, you might look for mail order nurseries. (This plant grows VERY slowly--I planted a small bare root one from mail order 2 years ago and still haven't seen a bloom.) One mail order nursery I was looking at just the other day that has dictamnus listed is Fieldstone Gardens. I've never ordered from them, so I don't know if their plants are nice.

Mom was never into gardening or plants in general, but she really resonated with orchids. I know very little about orchids outside of how to identify one, so I will put faith in the seeds you're willing to part with. Much appreciated. grieverus@gmail.com

I'm sorry to see that no one has answered you yet! I guess this thread is more or less dead. :-( I do happen to have a few cherry tomato seeds, and I will have some Goliath tomato seeds later, once they ripen (3ish inches across and still growing. I'm so excited). While it is late in the planting season, you can always wintersow. I imagine this would be interesting for your kids as well! If you are still on this site, PM me if you are interested! Thanks, Hannah :D
