Will there be a Seedy Sunday this year, or did i miss it?  
 
Liking at past threads, it was mid February to early March. I see onlineinfo for other Towns like Winnipeg, Yorkton, Estevan, but not Brandon.  
 
I'd like some heirloom Black Krim and other vegetables. Sounds like Heritage Seeds out of Carman is a cool source! Are they coming out to Brandon this year?

T and t seeds out of Winnipeg have heirloom seeds and have a deal on shipping on up to 10 "a" vegetables and flower packets. Everything in their catalogue is NON GMO. Online and catalogue sales

April 9th at the Daly House this year!

Thank you Happy Trails! It will be m my first year, looking forward to checking it out.  
 
I tried some adventurous container gardening this past year and had encouraging results. Who knows what I'll try this year.

Thanks for the info, can't wait

William Dam Seeds from Ontario is my favorite source for seeds. Their prices for the amount of seeds is fantastic and offsets any shipping. They also have no GMO and their seed is untreated, which I prefer.  
 
I have bought Black Krim from them in the past and will be doing so again this year because of possible crossing that happened with my seed last year.  
 
They have many heritage and organic seeds to choose from. They are excellent to deal with and is my first choice for seed.  
 
I am aware that as much as Heritage Seeds out of Carman is popular, you don't always get the pure heritage result as you might be led to expect. I have heard this from a few people who have bought and grown seed from them. Others may have better results, but it can be inconsistent. I believe their purity standards are not strict enough and so why this has been happening. When they began, I contacted them about being a grower and chose not to go with them for this and other reasons that I no longer remember.

Thank you, that is good to know.  
 
How tall do your Black Krim grow?  
 
I only need a few seeds, any idea where i could purchase 5 or 6 locally?

I let mine ramble over the ground. The year that I know they were pure, the plants got quite large and produced very well. Last year, I got everything in late (the ground stayed wet) and it was a very rough new garden, so my results were quite different.  
 
You only need a few seeds? My packet will have 65-80. I am sure that I could spare a few. If you have something unique yourself (other than tomatoes), maybe we could swap (a few seeds or houseplant slips work for me). I like bartering.  
 
PM me, Heritage, if this sounds good to you. Also let me know what else you are looking for.  
 
I will be placing my order this week and can let you know when the seeds arrive.

Hi, flutterby! I'm sending you a pm.  
 
Anyone else getting anxious to start seedlings?

ok, scratch that. I can't seem to send a pm. It keeps asking me to login each time I click. once I'm logged in it boots me to the front page again.  
 
If you are still willing to share Black Krim seeds, that would be great! I unfortunately have no seeds to share with you as my first year was last year and I went with box store seeds.  
 
However, I am crafty and can think of a few ideas that might sweeten the deal for a gardener!

That is strange. Ask Adam what is up with that.  
 
Yes, I would still be willing to share some seeds. It will be a little while before I get mine as they have 1 to 2 wks backlog right now.  
 
Once Adam fixes that inbox glitch, maybe we can exchange information. ;)

Wanted to remind everyone that this is happening today!  
 
Due to weather it's moved to the community center on 500 block of 4th street.  
 
At 1 pm free demonstration how to make a planner out of pallets (aka cheap)

Heritage, I have my Black Krim seeds. I will try to pm you. If you still can't make that work,we will have to figure something out to swap info to get them to you.
