I want to write about this because it’s something strange for me. Some days before I tried to clean my basil seeds and I start sneeze. My basil seeds had the same effect in me like smelling pepper. I have no idea if this is normal or not.
Do you sneeze when you clean your basil seeds?
I think it’s autumn. Well, ok I am not so sure about this. The weather is crazy the last months here and it’s like sping before summer. Only the nights you feel some cold but the most of the day you are ok with t-shirts.
But my chrysanthemum knows that it’s time to blossom and give me those beautiful yellow flowers like every autumn.

As waiting autumn I also waiting my greens to grow. I already eat fresh green onions from my container garden but my other green salads need more time.
I receive some greek seeds from a seed organization and they give me a book also where many people from Greece offer their seeds. The bad think is that most of them don’t wrote the exact varieties they grow.
It’s the first time I try to save tomato seeds from the organic tomatoes plants I had in my plot and I was not sure if my seeds are good or not.

So I deside to try my seeds now. The weather is good like spring here, so I thought it has the right temperatures for growing my seeds. Now I have many seedlings and i don’t know what can I do with them because winter is coming soon.
I save seeds from 2 tomato varieties but I don’t know the names of these varieties because I just bought them from one nursery near the plot.
I also save seeds from my Yellow Pear tomato, but they are only 6-7 seeds and I don’t try them yet.
My container garden for autumn growing nicely and I like it very much.

It’s the second year I try to grow green onions from small onions and I harverst the first green fresh onions already. Maybe some time in the future I will try to grow onions from seeds.

It’s my first year in vegetable container gardening and when I wanted to start it was difficult to find seeds. I didn’t wanted commercial seeds, but I bought some of them. After this, I start search in (european) ebay to buy some unknown for me varieties. I spend some money for these seeds but it was not the money the problem, it was the bad feeling mostly .
I grew in a family where my mother give plants everywhere. It’s not new for me, I grew with this. In my neighborhood most trees are from my mother’s plants.
Patrick ask for help in seed exchange and I like it but I have no many seeds. I already send some seeds to Patrick and easygardener these days and I feel very good about this.
So the seeds I saved from my plants this year and I can give you are
- Five O’Clocks
- Hibiscus coccineus
and…
- Pinus Pinea seeds if you want to harvest pine nuts after many years.
I know they are not vegetables, but as I said I am new in vegetable gardening. I try to save some tomato and pepper seeds now. I can send seeds only in EU.
