Interested in growing some of the seeds I harvested last season?
I've decided to distribute vegetable seeds to other people free of cost. Here is how it works: You send me an e-mail, and I'll send the adress to which you shall send a self-adressed, stamped envelope. I'll put a small (but very useful) packet of each of the vegetable seeds you choose into your envelope and send it back to you. Be sure to check what's available and let me know what you'd like (see the bottom of this page).
"Is this some sort of mail fraud?"
No, no it isn't.
"So where do the seeds come from?"
All of the seeds distributed are grown by me in North and West Vancouver.
"I don't live in Canada, can I still get some free seeds?"
You can try. Just make sure you have adequate postage paid on the the SASE you send me. I also can't guarentee the seeds won't be denied entry to your country. Some places have phytosanitary regulation prohibiting seed imports.
"I want tonnes and tonnes of free seed - Can I get three packets of everything you have?"
No.
"Why are you distributing seeds this way?"
I'm doing it because I believe everyone who is able to should at least try to grow some of their own food. If my free seed offer helps even one person get into growing food, it will be worth it to me.
Also, I enjoy growing all sorts of things, and would like to put most, if not all, of the seeds my gardens produce to good use. In short, I've got more than I need, so I'm shipping free seed.
Currently, I'm sending out mixed Brassica seeds (mostly Kale), Peppercress (Lepidium sativum), Bronze Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and 'Cossack Pineapple' Groundcherries (Physalis pruinosa). Next year I hope to have a greatly expanded catelogue, as I'm growing out several good tomato and bean varieties for offer in 2010.
