Seed Bank Project

[Farhan Ahmed]

The Start.................

Excellent Idea .. I totally support it. I can contribute with seeds of cineraria , Shasta White Daisy from winters.
I dont know how to collect seeds of Petunia and Antirrhinum, otherwise same can also be shared. From summer season annuals I should be able to contribute few more varieties at the end of the season.
Who will be managing the seed bank at Pindi?

[Farhan Ahmed]

Our Bank is "Tahir Khan".....looking forward to your support

[jdashraf]

I also have few seeds of rare (dats wat I believe) Blue Pea butterfly vine..

Gr8.....lets hear form Tahir Sb, how/what address he wants the seeds to be dispatched to him.

I think it will be hard for a single 'Bank' to take care of all the seeds pouring in.More seniors will have to vacate their stores

[Tahir Khan]

Great, I'll prep another glass bottle then

What i see.....you will need a trunk i near future

It means i have to empty our deep freezer then

JD sb, i'll be managing the seed bank, i live in pindi
petunia and snapdragon will have a dry papery seed pod after the bloom fades, i would recommend only to save the petunia and other flower seeds if they are not F1 hybrids, only save seeds that come true from seeds...

you are right some senior members already have seed banks including me so any other member joining hands will be a great help

Let me chip in with my two cents:

If other members have their own seed banks, why don't we make bank branches rather than collecting at one centralized bank?
Seed viability may be an issue from place to place. All members can disclose their seeds treasure in the list here- the rest can benefit from individual bank branches.
