i'm looking for any and all vegetable seeds, specifically corns/runner beans and squashes. i'm planning a zuni waffle garden and would like to try a different cultivar in each waffle. Some of my wants:
Borage
Garlic(s)
reccommended squashes(?)
Corn Cultivars:
Black Mexican/Iroquois
Black Aztec
Bronze Orange
Fiesta (flint corn)
Little Jewels (flint corn)
Rainbow Inca
Texas Honey June
Bean Cultivars:
Scarlet Emporer (runner bean)
True Cranberry (pole cranberry bean)
Hopi Purple
Desiree (white runner bean)
Painted Lady (multicolor runner bean)
chick peas (Cicer arientinum)
lentils (Lens esculenta)
Tepary (Phaseoulus acutifolius var. latifolius)
all my seeds are listed in my trade list. I only need about 8 seeds per cultivar, if that's possible. I just want to try and save myself the hassle of hunting down and purchasing these seeds if someone here has them :)

looking for vegetable seeds
what is a zuni waffle garden? I have bunch of vegetable seeds but the only thing on your list that I think I have is scarlet runners. I would have to check when I get home.

it's a bio-intensive and companion planting technique to produce higher yieds on less water in less space.
That's very cool. I'm thinking my vegetable garden next year could benefit from that. I will check through the veggy seeds tonight to see what is there. I am really bad about buying seeds and then not planting, so there's no telling.
if you want to trade varieties so you can do this, too, here's what i have:
corn:
sweet chorus (sweet)
honey and cream (sweet)
indian calico (flint)
bean:
tongue of fire (pole cranberry bean)
malibu (pole green bean)
tomato:
old german (bicolor)
brandywine (pink)
black krim (black)
green zebra (bicolor)
san marzano (red)
pepper:
green (sweet)
yellow (sweet)
squash:
swan (calabash)
I have spaghetti squash seeds, if you want some.

Will you trade a few of your tongue of fire pole been seeds for a few white borage seeds?
I grew a plant this summer of blue flowered borage and it has been a magnet for all those tiny beneficial insects. So I got a packet of white but will never use them all ...
