Lambs Quarters grow very fast. It was a huge success. In the fall when it starts getting cold, the Magenta Spreen stop growing much sooner then the normal Lambs Quarters.

no sprouting yet!!! Maybe I should freeze the remaining seeds to "reboot" them?

Steve did you save seeds off your plants? Any to share?

Thnx Michigan Roman...
I'm in Mississsauga and have some good places for organic produce but am always looking for places in Ontario to buy other raw stuff and have been looking for a seed place. I've bought some from a fairly large raw food supplier in Ontario but haven't had greatest of luck with the seeds for sprouting.

Gonna check out the site. If you have any more great places in Ontario, please let us know.

* theyve a million flower seeds / bulbs , and many vegi seeds . but i dont think sprouting seeds , but can ask . these people are PRO FARMERS that develop seeds FOR FARMERS = theyre dead serious about the seeds they produce and it shows in the quality of the plants their seeds create

I've got 62 buck worth of seeds in my cart at rickter....and I'm not suppose to buy any more, lol!

I'll need to think on this......

I found richters has yerba santa leaf, so I will likely be ordering from them too. Thanks for the link MR, I ordered their catalog. Next year I won't pull the lambs quarter that springs up around here.

68 dollars with the shipping!!!

It's coming out the food budget, folks, so help me!

[Mary Kay]

Woohoo T-Bird, thats a lotta seeds!

Was just thinking about this thread yesterday, when I just didn't feel like going out into the deep snow to get some kale in the garden, and I whipped out my container of frozen lambs quarters to put into the kids' juice in the a.m.

Man, I'm so glad I took the time to freeze those this summer/fall. It is so worth it!

I was just looking at a catalog that came to our house from Gurney's...not organic or anything, but they have walnut trees and almond trees, that they say are good down to zone five. I'm in zone five. Hmmmm.

Woohoo T-Bird, thats a lotta seeds!

And I've got 2-300 worth of seeds at home already....I'm hopeless, probably insane.....I swore I wouldn't get anymore for 2010....

[Mary Kay]

LOL, You're probably not alone. A lot of us have big eyes/high hopes!

Maybe you'd like to divvy up some of the packets?

I'd be interested! Might be more trouble than it's worth though.
