I have plenty of open pollinated Virginia Gold tobacco seeds. I would like to make a domestic US trade for other tobacco varieties. Anyone interested?

Right now, my only selection criteria is:

Heirloom acclimated to my local climate? Good.

Not an heirloom? Bad.

Life experience has taught me that evaluating quality is always more complex than good/bad based on a surface level label. So I know I don't know what I'm doing here, but I really want to know.

Suggestions on where to buy seeds would be great too. I live in the South Carolina lowcountry. It gets hot here and it's humid all year round. The soil might get a bit clay-like as you dig deeper. I'm thinking of starting a worm compost and trying to use that as dirt? Yard has been poison sprayed to hell and back. Some parts of the yard don't grow anything at all.

I'm looking for:

• Prickly pear
• Tomato
• Ashwaganda
• Ginger
• Hibiscus
• Blackberry
• Blueberry
• watermelon
• mango
• orange
• Storage friendly plants
• Any other great unique plants you know about that a newbie like me wouldn't know of

I also know nothing about preparing soil, irrigation methods, and natural ways of fighting pests T_T

One hail marry I figured I'd throw, is that I want to experiment with giving plants a domesticated life cycle vs a wild-like life-cycle where the plant has to deal with natural environmental selection pressures.

If anyone has experience with any of this, your advice is gold T_T

I want to grow my groundcover plugs from seed. Is it complex or genius simple. Can’t even find my choice Turkish Veronica.
