Comments (6)I would so love to trade you for these...Just to have seeds from Hawaii would be exciting to me. From your want list I have Mesclun mix Trifetti ornamental pepper However if you are interested in other varieties of pepper plant I do have those, and also many other types of seeds, including 4-5 different types of Basil. Please check my list and see if anything interests you. Cheryl...See Morewant to connect w/other NC/nearby VA growers
Comments (5)Hi Eric - I'm a couple of hours east of you, on the south side of Raleigh (zone 7b). My yard is only an acre and a half but every square inch of it is garden. I've only been at this location for 2 years, before that I was 15 minutes further east in Garner in a large inner town lot which was mostly deep shade. I grow a lot of the freaky stuff but most of what I have now is small and not big enough to fruit or take cuttings off of. I've been gardening most of my life but this is the first time that I have completely nose dived into hard core food production. I drive up to Afton VA. to Edible Landscaping nursery once a year and a lot of what I grow comes from them (it's only 4 hours away). I have also planted some of the stranger fruits from One Green World out on the west coast. I grow a lot of the super tropicals from seeds collected from fruit I buy at the local asian market. One of my successes that I will be able to share soon is 'Cumberland' Black Raspberry. I started out with two plants and now that I have them in full sun they are monsters that out perform all the other cane crops. The flavor is very blackberry ish. Bumper crops, no spraying, no disease, but lots of management due to aggressive growth....See MoreWANTED: hawaiian sunset vine
Comments (1)I might have some in the fall, depends on how well the plant does this summer. It sure is a fast grower!...See MoreAttention: Hawaiian Pineapple Growers
Comments (1)I would try to see if anyone can ship you full pineapples of the variety you want; it seems easier to buy the pineapple and use the tops to plant rather than trying to find someone to sell you a top or slip around here. My favorite place for white pineapple is Olana Farms on Kauai but not sure if they'll ship to you: http://www.olanafarm.com Worth a shot to ask!...See MoreMatt G
