* = commercial seeds.
All my seeds are fresh (most of them harvested February 2002 on), no left-overs from other traders nor from previous years. Open pollinated.
IMPORTANT NOTES: I mail my seeds either in padded envelopes or generously protected with bubblewrap. In order to avoid all the rattle and shuttle, thus unnecessarily calling for some authority's attention, I first wrap seeds in aluminium foil (except for seeds such as Clematis, etc.). I kindly ask my traders to do the same. Thanks.
Since I do not own a computer, sometimes it happens that I do not give immediate replies to my mails. Please be patient: all mails will get a response.
Let's trade!
