Description
The listing, Large Seed Lot has ended.
This auction will go as follows:
For every 600 credits I will add 1 seed pack. I will start with 1 pack as soon as there is a bid at all, at 600 there will be 2 packs and so on. If you choose the GIN option I will include 80 different packs of seeds as well as cute pair of Digz gardening gloves size med. This is a huge savings as some of my seeds have sold for 2000-5000 credits each. I have over 600 seed types in total and while it's not practical for me to list each and every one, if you win I will let you pick some of your seeds directly from a trade list I have made up that includes several varieties I have available. I have 200 different tomato varieties, lots of veggies, herbs, and flowers. I will let you tell me what you prefer and I will make you a seed package you will love. I have sold quite a few single packs of seeds and this is my first attempt at a large tiered auction. The number of seeds in a pack depends on the seed type. Some of my most rare seeds I only have about 5 per pack, but there are only a few of those. Most of my packs will include 10 - 50 + seeds and some will include 100+ depending on the type of seed. If you have any other questions feel free to ask, and thanks in advance to those of you who bid!
Terrific auction! I've been collecting many heirloom veggies and would love to get more. I have 34 types of heirloom tomatoes so far too. I'm trying to figure out how to plant them all and not have any cross-pollinating going on. I wish I had acres of land to work with, but no such luck! Lol! Watching and new fan! :)
Yes almost every vegetable seed I have is heirloom and organic.
Here is a list of a few of my tomatoes. I have tons of other heirloom vegetables and herbs and flowers as well. Almost every pack I have were harvested in 2013 as well. I only have about 10 out of close to 600 packs that are older.
Here is a list of my tomatoes: (The number beside the name is the number of seeds I have for that type.

@Okika As lewisconley said you can hand pollinate tomatoes pretty easily. Just to elaborate a bit, Heirloom tomatoes are OP which means they pollinate themselves and do not need insects to pollinate their flowers. Bees are not really fond of tomato blossoms and will look elsewhere for food. Since they self pollinate there is very little chance of cross pollination by growing them naturally. Somewhere around 5% from what I have seen. You will get an occasional oddball cross if you don't hand pollinate but most tomato growers just work with them as is. If you have a specific type of tomato you are trying to grow or breed and get 100% true to type instead of 95% then by all means cover the blossoms with paper bags and use the back side of an electric toothbrush to touch the back of the flowers and it will shake the pollen loose. Plants such as squash, melons, cucumbers that are not OP need to be hand pollinated if you wish to keep them true to type. Hope this helps.
