Yup... unless you complain about stuff. I got a free bathroom light fixture from Ikea the other day. The previous one died after six months of use...

didn't ikea change to a lifetime exchange somewhere? "getting tired of that 20 year old cabinet? Exchange it for a new one!" I can't remember where, saw it in the news not too long ago.

So far they're mostly talking about flowers but there might be somebody in here to exchange seed with that won't have to have their seeds go through customs.

Thanks hennible. Next yr I hope to have tons of quick growing mater seeds if they do good.Supposed to be 55 days. I usually grow early girl and they are 65day, and do real good. I am switching to bloody butcher and alaskan fancy, both open pollinated so I can save the seeds. Any suggestions on other quick growing open pollinated tomatoes?

 

[hennible]

Hmmm well technically all mine are open pollinated...
I'm not to sure nothing I grow is quite as fast... Maybe some of my yellows are that quick ( with good sun exposer) "lemon boy" is a great tomato, firm, flavourful, easy to grow indeterminate, with more flesh and less seed... I have these "cocktail" tomatoes smallish, red and super yummy, but I don't know the breed... I saved those seeds from a few I got at the grocery store... I do that a lot.

I grew some yellow cherry tomatoes a few years ago. Three plants grew many gallons of them, super sweet but I prefer red tomatoes.
By open pollinated I mean non-hybrid, heirloom. I'm not growing any hybrids anymore. Hybrids don't breed true. I've been growing non-hybrid golden bantam sweet corn for years, and never thought of saving the seeds. The family likes it just as much as any 'super sweet' hybrid sweet corn.
The only seeds I've ever saved was dill, just because they are easy, pumpkin, and we have foxglove flowers growing around my garage, saved them to plant around our mailbox.

I think I already did mess it up.

I don't do hybrids either. Mostly heirloom and organic in their origin and open pollinated, and I continue to keep them organic... I did end up with what I assume is a hybrid ( we will see, could be a mutation ) orange cherry tomatoes popped up last year...

@hennible Want some of these seeds? I don't know if it is good for
chickens but they eat some, it grows all over around my place. When it's small it looks like dandelion, we think the kids fed some to the rabbit. We thought the old thing was finally dying. Hardly breathing and didn't move all day. Next day it was fine. I thought it was poisonous giant hog weed, after looking it up and comparing pics I found out it was lettuce opium. I had a bunch next to the back side of our house that I don't mow grow twenty feet tall!! This pic I think it's around twelve feet tall cause the plywood on my garage is eight feet to the z flashing, the two cement blocks are another sixteen inches. The ones by my house the yr before were bushier.
