    Anyone up for doing a plant or seed exchange this spring?  We're starting a garden and have a lot of seeds and probably have a few veggie starts to share.

    @ Miss Chocolate: Sure.  We have seeds that can be grown in containers.  Where are you building your house?  We're just finishing ours, so if you ever have questions, feel free to ask!

    I just realized that this is a Seattle post... (oops). Is that okay?! I'm sorry!!

    We live in Texas. If my FH gets hooked with an accounting firm here, then we'll build close to Houston. If not, then we want to move to Austin and build!!! Thank you so much for offering advice!! I can't wait to start on it!!

    Just found this post and I'm super-psyched!  I'll save some starts and seeds for sure.  I live in South Seattle and am putting in a gigantic garden this year..... well, we have a gigantic yard and we're going to put part of it in a garden.  What a fab idea!

    Hi Magenta, no need to feel dumb!  Buying seeds in a store is a great way to start.  You'll probably notice that there are WAY more seeds in each seed packet than you need for your space, and seeds keep for a few years, so it is easy to send your extra seeds around (in exchange for others' left over seeds!).

     

    After a few years, if you are interested, you can keep your seeds from crops from previous years that did really well.  But for now, just save the extras you don't plant if you want to participate!   Good luck!

    Hi Joey!  Always great to meet others who live down here in S. Seattle.   I'm hoping to get at least some starts going in the next week or so... yikes, so much to do on top of wedding planning.  I'm sure we'll have extra starts/ seeds, so I'll look forward to trading!  Cheers!
