Seed Swap Anyone?




 
I would like to broaden my garden at the cheapest manner, so I will start saving seed this season.  I was thinking about doing a seed swap with anyone who is interested in participating.  I thought I would put the idea out there so everyone who's interested can start saving seed for next season's use.  The seed can be for flowers or veggies and they can be purchased or saved.  Seeds from your garden must be heirloom only and all exchanges must be free.  If you're interested in participating please leave me a comment.  I'll provide details on how the exchange will work later.  

I'm thinking the more participants the wider range of seeds that will be available.  If you have followers that would like to participate, please post a link to my blog so they can let me know.  If you have suggestions or ideas I'd like to hear them.  Looking forward to swapping seeds with you.

  1. Rhonda, are you on Facebook? If so, go to the gardening page "Great American Seed Swap Project". There are a ton of us there trading seeds and cuttings left and right. And if there's something you want and can't trade, most of us will send them to you for SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope). Hope to see you there!

  2. I would love to join in on your seed swap! I was planning on saving seeds from my garden this year so I could start trading with other gardeners. I look forward to hear more about this.

    1. Great, I'm looking forward to swapping with you. I'm hoping to get at least 10 people to join in so we can get a pretty good variety. Lets see how it goes.

    1. Looking forward to swapping with you Ann. I saw your onions and peppers last season, they were huge. I want to grow onio them like yours. You need to do a post on what you plant.

  4. This is a good idea. I see many blogs doing this. I am afraid to commit because I am notorious in posting things out in timely fashion or saving seeds, cataloging them or understanding how much seeds I need. I am still very new to all these.

    1. No problem, I'm sure someone would be willing to send you some if there's extra.

  5. Sounds fun! I have some pictures from this weekend I am uploading. Lemon trees are starting to bud out and we have a few other flower seeds saved from last year we are starting to plant.
