Thanks for the trades and the help in our community garden. To ymaddox, Charlie60, NancyPlants, FarnerGreg, mrs.b_in_wy your seeds will be on their way today, roper2008 return postage is headed your way. God bless you all! We STILL have some trades available and STILL need more help. It takes a lot to plant 1� acres and a good variety of veggies. Be sure to check out our initial post and if you have a surplus of seed and would like to trade or can send for SASBE to help the community outreach, please take a moment and respond. We will start our Greenhouse efforts at the end of February/first of March time frame and plan our community garden�s planting locations to ensure good rotation efforts�.just gotta know what we will have available to plan properly. Thanks in advance, ~Arkseven

I have some Speedy Bush Beans left over from a packet I bought this year, and I would love to trade for some morning glories. Email me if you are interested!

Arthur, I am no expert here...but I have veggie beds (made with timbers) and they work very well for me. I'll post pics for you. Also, this is a really hot time of year, I suggest planning your garden out on paper and starting your seeds based on the growing guide (see link). I have seedlings started for a month or two down the road when the weather isn't so hot right now, but I am keeping them in a shady area and some are under my potting bench in the back yard where it is pretty cool comparitively. The rains we have gotten the last couple of days have helped tremendously. Good luck! Kim Here is a link that might be useful: Central Fla Planting guide

Yitzhak, you can plant ANYthing in soil like that. Just have to figure out if it will have time to ripen before it freezes. I did a quick search for planting dates in Sherman, TX, but was not immediately successful in finding the info. Seems that Sherman has a big sunflower crop, who knew. The link below is the planting info for North Central Texas. I think your freeze date is probably earlier than ours. http://tarrant.tamu.edu/garden/vegdate.htm#Fall
