Okay, so I'm cheap. But presently I don't have the disposable funds to make a $15 order. That's what Double Helix Farms requires. David and Linda Hix put us onto this company in our last meeting, back in November. They specifically mentioned Little Bells Tomato. I would like to try this variety. This company's seed strikes me as kind of expensive. But I don't grudge them for it. They are offering a lot of unique varieties and I get the impression that they produce a lot of their own seed. $3 a packet (roughly) is well worth it for a good variety.
So, if anyone else would like to do an order from this company, let me know. Maybe a couple of us can go in together on an order.

Okay, great! I know they have a $3.95 shipping charge and a minimum order of $15. I would like to order Little Bells Tomato and Malabar Spinach, which comes up to nearly $6.OO. I'm willing to split shipping. What do you want to order? Let's see if we lack yet for an order.
Anyone else wish to go in with us?

Thank you Gary. You make it harder to get an order to the minimum! LOL. But that's alright!

I was interested in pigeon peas and Arkansas Purple kale. They're 2.99 each.

Macmex. I am not seeing any bittermelon on that list. What a disappointment!

Yes. I have not yet come up with a source. Though, somewhere in my seeds, I may have a 12 year old sample. I wonder if it would grow? We sent off our order now. So, I should comment, for others, that the offer to go in on an order is closed for now.

I think it would be interesting to try growing those old sedes. Cool. Soak em in wáter for at least 24 hours as the sedes have a very hard coating on them and be patient. Fresh sedes come up fast though.

I have some Bitter Melon seed on order. I get a cataloge from www.kitazawaseed.com every year. I have never ordered from them but they have tons of interesting Asian type vegetables and herb seed. they have about the largest selection of Bitter (Gourd) melon I have seen. they call them bitter gourd.

I am excited about your bittermelon seed order. Fantastic. Have you ever grown it and if so how do you use it?
