Description

The listing, LOTS of Unique & Rare Seeds!!! ALL EDIBLES!!! has ended.

The winner of this auction will recieve OVER 35+ unique and some rare seeds from my completely organic and open pollination gardens. Grown here in West Coast Central Florida, all of these plants have shown to grow extremely prolific!

The List!

12+ Lemon Basil
6+ Red Zinger/Jamaican Sorrel/Rosella Hibiscus
6+ Red Caribbean Papaya
5 Muscadine Welder Grape
3 Tamarind
3 PURPLE Sweetsop/ Custard Apple
10+ Heirloom Plum Tomato

The lemon basil has been one of the most fragrant flowers in my garden this year. Excellent for cooking with just about anything in my opinion.
Red zinger hibiscus, used to make the famous red zinger tea, is EXTREMELY high in Vitamin C concentration.
The papaya have been fruiting twice yearly with the weather and as you can see with these 3 year old papaya in the pic, I'm left with pounds of fruit from me to tree!
The PURPLE sweet sop is my gift to share with whoever wins this auctioa! Sweetsop itself is a bit of an unusal fruit, purple strain is rare, and a tad bit sweeter than the green. The reason you dont see sweetsop in your grocery store? Short harvest season, cant be picked pre-ripe and ripened for shipping, so it makes it cost inefficient, while the rest of us miss out on truly a delicious fruit.
Tamarind is another oddity most are unfamiliar with. fig-like large bean shapped (legume) large tree bearing hundreds of pounds of this fruit per year once mature!
The Muscadine Welder grapes have always been a real treat. Consistent yearly producers, so sweet half the people that try them think it's candy before fruit! Thick skinned amber colored grape when mature, excellent raw our for jams and wine! Yes GREAT for wine!!!
And finally the tomatos have been consistent bearers that keep re-seeding fairly easy with an accidental fallen tomato here and there. These guys are sweet, have a good hang time and are fairly hardy.

Best of luck to you all and thanks for takin the time to look at my

I know that most of these would not be zone 4 hardy and will need to be brought in when it gets cold (as it typically does up north), but how about the grapes and the sweetsop apple? Are they hardy enough to come back after an alpine zone 4 winter?

Great question. As far as the muscadine, they are rated for zones 7 and higher, a more southern facoring grape, however, i firmly belive if you get these in the ground after last frost, have them mature a season, i think you can get fruit from them. They grow all summer (long season, sometimes multiple harvests) and then are ready by august, september. Even here, the leaves die off for winter, they turn to viney sticks, and in the spring explode open again. They get about 100 years of productuon, and i think these guys could potentially weather the storm. The sweetsop is a cold sensitive baby, and prolonged temps below 13 degrees C (~55 F) can begin to cause damage. However!, that being said, I believe someone with vigilance who keeps her potted can help her along her way. Ive read plenty of sights that say bring them inside when it dips below 40, and since they arent huge trees and they do mature very fast, i think in a 3-5 gallon pot, she could do fine with a bit of attention. Sorry so lengthy, hope this helps. Best of luck!
