Newbie Seed Project - Thanks to everyone!

11 years ago

I just mailed out the last pack from the Newbie Seed Project. What a great year it was. The donors were incredibly generous and the newbies took insturctions like champs. It's the best and the brightest group so far!

I am committed to continue this next year and am already planning to do a count of states and number of participants to post for your amusement and amazement!

Last time I kept records, we had touched 40 states and between 300 and 500 people! That is very exciting! I love when former noobs turn around and donate back...what a gift to all of us!

this is a labor of love and really, no labor at all. I have it down to a science and maintained 24 hour turnaround with each and every package. Next year will be year 8 or 9 I think!

Thank you to the best folks in the world! Now if we can spread this generosity to others, who knows what we can achieve!

I am a newbie attempting an indoor/porch garden. I have a small apartment on the second floor with a nice sunny fully windowed back porch that gets plenty of morning to noon sun. Anything at all that you could send (if you have anything left lol) would be a huge help to me and very much appreciated. I'll send you an e-mail now. Thanks so much for your generosity! Tricia

I have seeds to send to you for the Newbie packets but I lost your address. I'm so sorry I haven't gotten them to you sooner, the holidays and Real Life happened and frankly, 2016 is for crap thus far, but I want to get these out to you since you very kindly sent me some seeds last years right after we moved. Please let me know where to send them and I'll get them out to you right away.

I had an off season this year and depression got the best of me. But I’m definitely planning to donate seeds this next season. I really appreciate you and the people who donate.

Hi my user name is leslie_cunningham3 My real name is Leslie Cunningham I’m in 6b zone I am new to gardening in Kansas. We have REALLY SANDY SOIL. I had a garden growing up in Louisiana with my father. I was miltary wife and grew flowers only. When I moved to KS in early 90’s I have had gardens off and on but have always had purchase plants from stores. I had some success only when used chemicals and use potting soil. We have huge problems with insects and gophers. Last yr I lost over 3/4 of my garden to aphids squash bugs and gophers. Each yr I struggle with the decision to continue gardening. Which why Im super happy to have found this site. I did not see a seed exchange for KS on here nor have I found any local seed exchange. So this year I like to grow from seeds. I am looking for veggies herbs and flowers. Perennials and herlooms would be great as I would like to try organic gardening. I also like to learn how to gather my own seeds. I would like to send $ through PayPal I have edit my profile to include mgs from anyone. I have verified my email address and sent 2 emai to Val ( I forgot to include my mailing address in the 1st mgs)l. I have not listed veggies or seeds I have as I’m just starting out and I would like any kind of seeds available.
