MVNewf, there are indeed several American seed companies who have proprietary seeds and not all ship here. I've had difficulty finding Billy Biker Jalapeno F1, just for an example, so thank you so very much, roper2008 for setting those seeds aside for me.

I read that list over there and found some tomato seeds that I have to help make that list a little smaller I've set them aside for you.

You're my hero, Toni. I only hope I can return the favour on the way back.

Cant wait....this train is going to be so much fun!

Ciao MVNewf-

I found these and thought you might be interested:

Brussels Sprouts, Catskills
Cauliflower, Purple Cape

Let me know if you'd like me to set them aside.

Sorellina, sure I would love a few of those.... I have brussels sprouts growing in the garden right now, but they are the most common kind "Long Island Improved" and the only cauliflower I have is called "Snowball" I think, so any new kinds for me to try is very welcome...thanks... I never had a huge interest in my veggie garden after October...but I love fall/winter veggies.....this is my first year growing right into the dead of winter in my veggie agdren, and so far it is growing amazing.....but this time next year it will all be growing inside a hoop house...and I am excited for the new varieties of fall/winter seeds....saves me from having to buy many kinds to try.....

That's awesome, MVNewf - I hope it works out like you want. I'm sure you're aware that "man time" and "woman time" aren't calibrated the same most days. I love their strength, but I find myself holding my tongue so I don't constantly say "when exactly did you say this would be done?"

Ciao roper2008-

If you happen to have

7 Pot Brain Strain Pepper
Trinidad Scorpion Cardi

would you set a few seeds aside for me? Duane would LOVE those.

I have plenty of white flowers, but primarily annuals - Sonata White Cosmos, White Seashells Cosmos, Miss Jekyll White Nigella, Polar Bear Zinnia, Dorothy Eckford Sweet Pea. Let me know if you'd like any.

Sorellina, I have both those varieties of super hot peppers if roper doesn't have any....I grew out 6-7 kinds of super hots last summer, they grew amazing here when it got to be late Sept, I donated the plants to the horticulture class at the high school, but kept a few pods of each to save the seeds from.....I grew them all in pots, and it worked out well....I saw the hort teacher last week and he said the peppers love the greenhouse so much, they are on their second wave of producing more peppers....LOL....these peppers have scoville units of 1 million+...I would never eat one, but just grew them, because I had to see these things for myself....

[Sorellina]

Wow, excellent, MVNewf, thanks! Those particular varieties are mostly known in super pepperhead type circles. Duane likes to make concentrates with the superhots and then use that paste as a base for hot sauces.

I'm having lots of fun with this train already, even though it's still somewhere in the midwest probably. I get to play Santa, filling stockings with little wishes.
