Looking for Cabbage Collard and Old Time Tennessee Melon

Mullins, SC(Zone 8a)

Hi, I'm looking for a heirloom variety of collard seed that my grandma used to grow in NC. She called them cabbage collards, they were a very tender variety and had the best mild flavor...some people call Morris Heading variety cabbage collards but I find that this is a very different cultivar, not at all like the ones my grandma grew. She's gone now and I would love to get my hands on some of these seed so I can grow them out and save my own seed.
Also would like to find seed of the heirloom Old Time Tennessee melon, this is a large very fragrant and I believe oblong shaped muskmelon.
LMK if if anyone can help, maybe we can work out a trade for something.

Thanks,
Diana

Remind me will go to Logan's Trading Post and get some of the seeds and send to you.I love collard cabbages.

Are you listed in the address files?

Thank you! Yes I'm in the exchange :) Is there anything in particular you're looking for? I have lots of seeds but can't guarantee the freshness of the ones I traded for. I have several daylilies I could split a couple of fans off of too, also lily bulblets, or I could reimburse your expense, whichever way you prefer...thank you so much!

Diana T will get collard seeds sometime this week and get in the mail to you.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I like them better than leaf collards.

Thank you so much LavinaMae! Can you give me some idea of what sort of plants you like and I'll see what I have to send in trade :)

I really appreciate this, you have no idea how much!
