Hometown seed giveaway #2 (Survival Seeds)
14.9 years ago free, giveaway, seed storing, seeds
Hometown Seeds has again graciously offered up a selection of their non-GMO non hybrid survival seeds. These are advertised to keep in storage for 5-10 years but also are open pollinated so you can grow them this year, collect the seeds and create your own stockpile in preparation of any future catastrophic food shortage.
They include a selection of the following varieties:
- Lincoln Peas
- Detroit Dark Red Beets
- Kentucky Wonder Brown Pole Bean
- Yolo Wonder Pepper
- Champion Radish
- Lucullus Swiss Chard
- Black Beauty Zucchini
- Waltham Butternut Winter Squash
- Bloomsdale Longstanding Spinach
- Scarlet Nantes Carrots
- Long Green Improved Cucumber
- Rutgers Tomato
- Golden Acre Cabbage
- Romaine Paris Island Cos Lettuce
- Golden Bantem Sweet Corn
- Yellow Sweet Spanish Onion
They will be sending me the seeds to no restrictions on where these can be mailed to, so simply add a comment by 2/16/2010 2/19/2010 and I will randomly select a winner in one week.
Update — 2/16/2010
I got the seeds in the mail from Hometown Seeds and I was very surprised in the weight of these seeds. Well over a lb of seeds in this package. They come in a sealed lightproof wrapper as you can see below:
Though the seeds would last longer if I kept them in this packaging, though I just had to rip it open to see what was inside (winner’s package will not be opened):
As you can see there are quite a few seeds in this package so you may want to think about who you may want to share these with if you win.

I live on 7 acres. With these seeds I could feed my family plus make some bank at the market and have plenty of seeds to trade next year.
Awesome giveaway!

I’d love to win this. With a new baby in the house, I haven’t even opened a seed catalog, nevermind actually placing an order in a reasonable amount of time.

I love seeds especially ones that will sprout and provide food for the table and these seem perfect for a new area in my garden.

I also think you should do a review of the Earthbox and give one away to one of your faithful followers who never wins anything. (I pretty much just ensured I’m going to win these seeds now, didn’t I!)
I’ll send them your blog if you like! 😀

Its nice to find a good review about products nowadays that written in a nice and informative manner. Thanks again for all the hard work you put forth.
With each review maybe a link directly to the retailer, kind enough to donate the item would prove helpful for the lazy and Google inept type (myself) .

Awesome idea! Thanks for the chance to win. Seeds are so expensive, yet so worth it. We are planning to have a big garden this year. I want to teach my kids the value of hard work, plus we love fresh produce.

You can make your seeds remain viable longer by storing left over seeds in an air tight container with one of those moisture absorbing packets and keep it in the fridge. That way you can buy the bulk sizes, which are much more economical.

Those who control the seed, control the feed.

I’d love these seeds and could put them to good use… I have so many people and places with whom to share them. My tip to help with longer term storage would be to put a packet of silica gel in with your stored seeds to help keep the humidity at a minimum. These packets are often included as “throw aways” with many new purchases to keep them dry. Just reuse the packet!
