Here is every seed I have for Trade, let me know if anything interests you. Feel Free to ask questions, like if there's a seed you wanted that's not on this list (I may have it). I've done lots of Foraging & Grocery Hunting so have seeds of both Wild Edible Plants & Rare Cultivated Plants.

I tried to post the whole list here but it's too large. I'll just link the same one from GoingToSeed Forums.

Below is just a sample of what I couldn't upload in full
Squash (Cucurbita spp.)
- White Seed Fig-Leaf Squash (Cucurbita ficifolia) : [Mild, Taste like Cucumber x Squash with Juicy Soap like texture. Zero Sweetness but also zero bitterness. ]

- Mexican Long Seed Pumpkin (Cucurbita angyrosperma) : [ Sold as "Semilla de Calabaza", I was suprised these Sprout so well & Taste Delicious! The Green Parts oddly have an addictive sweet flavor, hard to describe but good! Maybe this hints that the Fruits have Green Flesh???]
1756225276857.webp



- Tromboncino Squash (Cucurbita moschata) : [ Very Long Neck Butternut type but Much sweeter & tastier. Stored over a Year at room temp.]
1756225319036.webp



- Honeynut Squash (Cucurbita moschata x maxima) : [ Inter-species Stable viable Hybrid, Butternut shape but in minature with improved flavor & sweetness. Delicious!]
1756225525779.webp



- Indian Kabocha Squash (Cucurbita moschata) : [ It looks & Taste a lot like an Inter-species Cross. Got from Indian Bazarr, Tasted like 80% Kabocha Squash & 20% Butternut, delicious! Seeds look like moschata but inflated like maxima.]
1756225534660.webp



- Kabocha Squash (Cucurbita maxima) [ I have Brown & White Seed versions, Delicious similar flavor to buttercup squash but less chessy. Excellent Sweet Delicious Sweet Potato flavor. I enjoy them all the time. Lots of Morphological Diversity, all similar taste. ]

- Improved Turban Squash (Cucurbita maxima) [ At first I didn't even think this was a Turban Squash due to the small belly button, but it tasted Exactly like one! It tastes like Chicken without sauces/spices but with improved flavor/texture compared to the regular Turban Squash.]

- French Worty Galeux D'Eysines Squash (Cucurbita maxima) [ My 2nd favorite squash, it's Super Sweet, among the sweetest I've tasted. Somewhat juicy, has a Hint of Pine Taste. ]
1756225614209.webp


- Flat White Boer Squash (Cucurbita maxima) [ Nice mild Taste Raw, very much like eating a Better Textured Carrot. Taste like a Lesser version of Galeux d'eysines Squash. ]
1756225626737.webp



- Italian Crocadile-Skin Marina Di Chioggia (Cucurbita maxima) [ My Favorite Squash, Hands down the Best Flavored squash! Doesn't need spices, it's already pre-spiced naturally. Flavor is EPIC, kind of like KFC type spices! Harvested when Blue-Green, I've Eaten it when Brownish-Green, difference seen in 1st 2 photos. ]

- Blue Doll Squash ( Cucurbita maxima ) [ Taste like Solanaceae Potato. Huge Squash with a squareish shape and Blue Porcelain like skin. Turns Pinkish if stored long time. ]


- Pink Porcelain Doll Squash ( Cucurbita maxima ) [ Tastes Just like Blue Doll but smaller & pink. ]


- Lakota Squash ( Cucurbita maxima ) [ Up there with Buttercup & Kabocha. Very Delicious Flavorful Squash ]


- Red Hubbarb Squash ( Cucurbita maxima ) [ Taste just like Lakota Squash, Delicious! ]


- Super Juicy Squash ( Cucurbita maxima ) [ This is the most Juiciest Squash I've seen. When I cut into it, It was Dripping. Taste was average & okay. I bet the juiciness would make it a FANTASTIC Summer Squash.]


- Spaghetti Squash ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ Very Stringy but that's a good thing! Scoop out seeds, cook in Oven or Microwave, Slice flesh up like spaghetti with a fork & enjoy. Taste better than Macaroni Spaghetti in my Controversial Opinion.]


- Delicata Squash ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ Delicious Sweet Potato Flavor, with thin delicate skin (Makes Cutting a Breeze) hence the name. ]


- Green/Orange Acorn Squash ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ This is the SWEETEST Best tasting Pepo Squash I've ever eaten. It's just a regular Grocery Store Green Acorn Squash but when it Fully ripens to an Orange color, the flavor is sweet like Candy! Absolutely incredible! My favorite Pepo Squash Hands down. ]


- Mini Orange Acorn Squash ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ Small 4-5 Inch tall Acorn Shaped Squash that's Orange. Flavor was decently nice but that green acorn whooped it's ass in Flavor. ]


- White Acorn Squash ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ Delicious Mash Potato Flavor with an Aftertaste Hint of Vanilla. My 2nd Favorite Pepo Squash.]


- Carnival Squash ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ Excellent Sweet Acorn type Squash, It's sweet but in a different way. Has hints of Nutty Maple Syrup Notes. 2 types, orange & Yellow-Green.]


- Mini Decoration Pumpkin ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ Tiny Fruit but with Very HARD Skin, almost wood-like. Flesh taste Delicious with similar flavor to Acorn x Pumpkin.]


- Grizzly Bear Pumpkin ( Cucurbita pepo ) [ The Most HARDIEST Skin Squash. The Skin Is WOOD HARD, extremely hard to slice. Flavor wise, no better than sterotypical pumpkin but not bitter. ]

Wow, this seed collection is incredible! I had no idea there were so many interesting varieties of squash and pumpkin. Those tromboncino and kabocha types look especially delicious.

I mostly save seeds from heirloom tomatoes and peppers to share with friends, but I'm always tempted by winter squash. Have you grown or cooked the crocodile‑skin Marina di Chioggia? I'd love to hear about its flavor and any tips for getting good germination.

Thanks for sharing this list – it has inspired me to expand my own seed library!
 
Thank you! Yea there's truly an incredible diversity of Squash (Hybrid Swarms tend to create epic diversity)!
Kabocha taste like sweet potaotes & Tromboncino types are like an even tastier butternut Squash!

crocodile‑skin Squash is the best flavored squash, it taste like KFC seasoning x Squash. Marina di Chioggia squash is the sweetest, very good with a hint of pine flavor.

Squash germinate easily in warm soil, just direct sow & water (Oh and watch out for squirrels + deer, they don't allow are garden to exist).


Thanks for sharing this list – it has inspired me to expand my own seed library!
Yes please do! I wasn't able to share my whole collection here, heads up there's a 10 photo limit.

I'm curious what kinds of wild edibles do you save seeds from? After all this is a foraging forum right? But of course garden veggies can certainly be grown as wild edibles too (So many other uses, like edible squash leaves & flowers)!
