I have a collection of seeds that I had sent over from the US....mostly open polinated [heirloom] seeds that I don't have the time to plant this season and will offer them free to anyone who is serious about keeping seed strains pure and will replace them to me at a future date when I have time to return to the soil.

I have several different native American strains of corn,

some beans, lettuces, falang basil, chilli peppers many variates, tomatoes and more.

If anyone is serious and knowledgable about seed saving, send me a PM and I'll try to have a more detailed list available to return to your email address. Preferably in the CM area..

Free seeds for serious seed savers and now is a good time to plant.

Phew. I thought you were handing out Farang seeds. They're already like weeds everywhere around Chiang Mai.

Also try in the ladies forum; asking if anyone would like some Farang seed should find a receptive audience there as well.

(Sorry, it's Friday)

I thought it was guava seeds you were giving out.

I should have known that my post would bring out the 'tv fruitcakes'. Why is that we can never stay on topic??

I didn't know you could grow fruitcakes from seed. That's interesting, I'd like to try some of those.

You mean they actually grow farangs in Thailand now. I thought there were enough moving here from abroad already.

I find this rather worrying.

55555......yeah, I guess my OP was a bit misleading, but it was a serious attempt to share some hard to get seeds.

One corn seed may be of interest to some is Hickory King Dent corn .....the one that is used to make real masa tortillias. It grows well here in the CM area and could be a money maker if someone wants to grow and process the corn into masa flour/tortillias.

I've searched all over this country for a decade and haven't been able to find masa flour and the Mexican restaurants can't locate it either and substitute yellow corn but not the same taste.

I guess we're talking about a substantial amount of seeds right, enough to plant a crop for at least a rai or so? I do have land that would be very suitable for corn, but currenlty not the time or expertise to really act on it. So if someone has either the time and expertise (or willingness to gain those) then that might work.
