Got Yellow Pear?
I do, but prolly not lots. Looks like around 120 seeds...more than enough for me. Orig source Northrup King, about 1995.

I can share if you have requests but no supply.

But also a question. Another of my interests are potato onions. First time ever, my white potato onions sent seed stalks up in 2021: I allowed them (and a few red, yellow, and white sets nearby) to do so, knowing crossing was likely.
I seemed to get white, yellow, bronze, pink, and brown-skinned multi-center the first year (22)

Depending on what comes of it, I'd be pleased to share with like-minded souls...but also recognize that there may well be limits to Gary's gracious patience, even physical ability to act as clearing house.

So, asking what you think. IF my plantings.produce something interesting, interested?
Even if there are few, or no, other requests for allium seed, I'll take anything you got.

In my garden, the rankings are #1 tomatoes, #2 legumes, #3 squash, #4 alliums, and #5 is everything else.

the yellow pear seeds are from 2021; probably still good. The original seed packet is gone, but my notes refer to this 1995 date

Regarding potato onions: This would be actual bulbs, not seed.

I will share later next summer, renewing conversation to try to get an idea of demand.

Thanks!

If you are entering a category, its 10 packs of one variety. If you are just entering the general swap then send whatever you want and or can. Don't worry about being late, many of us are. He has seeds coming and going all year long. If they are too late for this years swap he will just add them to next years stash.

I have always been afraid to do the MMMM. I am afraid that I would be overrun with seeds of too many varieties to choose from.

Extremely rare is the participant who can set a limit as to the number of varieties that will be sent. But they can be accommodated for, as long as it's communicated clearly. Start working on your wish list, please.
