Why did you delete Seed Exchange?

9 years ago

I loved Seed Exchange. I got alot of nice seeds and I gave away alot of nice seeds. This was a special site for beginner gardeners. I made some good friends because of this site. I hope you bring it back!!

Just another example of us not taking enough time to really explore the website. The Seed Exchange forum was never taken away. But Houzz keeps on making much needed changes on a daily basis.

Zackey, you won't lose your friends and contacts. If you get really lost, contact them directly and Tamara will help you.

It's still here zackey.

Click on "Exchanges and trades" on the front page.

Seed exchange will be in the dropdown box that opens.

Canadian Seed Exchange (?)
Q
Comments (2)
There was talk of getting a Canadian Wintersowing Seed Exchange forum since Canadian residents can't take part in the WSing exchange forum. A few people from the US, Denmark and a couple of other countries commented that they would like to take part as well. Now the rumour is that we might be getting a global seed exchange forum. I think it would be very cool to trade with people from other countries, so I have my fingers crossed! I don't know any more details, but if anyone's interested you can check out the Suggestions & Comments forum. There's a couple of posts about it over there. Wendy, I hope you don't mind that I moved this over here, but I didn't want your question to get deleted for being on the other side :) Take care, Cindy

Seed Saver's Exchange: cooking vs. seed beans?
Q
Comments (1)
If you want to grow for dry type beans, The "cooking" beans should do fine. Not as much care is given to maintaining true seed but that is the major difference. Of course if you are growing snap beans, you will not find them in the dry bean section.

Why did my A. palmatum seeds germinate this year?
Q
Comments (2)
Japanese maple germination can be very slow and irratic. It can take 1-5 years for the seeds to germinate. I think it's fun to collect the seedlings and see what you get. The true leaves will show up next year. There is no harm in letting them grow a year. If you like them you can transplant them to another location in you garden or a pot next year. I have a lot of beautiful seedlings.

did you delete my post???
Q
Comments (7)
Considering that I just wrote a lengthy response, clicked on the link to read the rules for the forum and didn't realize it DID NOT come up in a new window causing me to lose everything, it very well may have been my fault initially. However, I do believe I have seen moderator intervention before so that's all I was trying to determine... did they do it again? I think they would have emailed me under normal circumstances if that were the case so it was probably me. Still, I got the word out in this thread. :-) I don't believe that TOFGA is a competing forum and did consider that beforehand. I see these as complementary forums in that, the more that one succeeds, the greater the overall interest in gardening which benefits everyone. Anybody here ONLY rely on GardenWeb for your information??? I viewed the post more as a public service announcement for the folks in Texas. Brad

Zack, if you click on Garden Web Topics in the menu on the top left of the page, the next page that displays, now has four new photos at the top. One of them has Exchanges and Trading under it. Just click on that photo and it will direct you to the Exchange forum.

Thanks for the link. I just get so frustrated every time I come here. I don't know if it's worth the aggravation.

If you always start at the famiar A to Z list, you should never get lost. On the left hand side of your screen towards the top, you'll see a small list. Click on GARDEN FORUMS if you want to visit any of those....just as usual. If you want any of the other categories, click HOME FORUMS or OTHER on that same list on the left side of your screen.

You'll never, ever need to go into the Houzz area, unless you want to. I'm doing some remodeling and refurnishing so I want to. :-)

I expect that you're making it more difficult than it really is. Maybe?

Just stay patient, before you know it, you'll feel at home.

It is alot more work to get on here now. I used to be able to click on my Most Visted button on Firefox and access several different forums. For some reason since it became Houzz I can't get here from Firefox. I have to close out Firefox and open up Internet Explorer.

I'm done grumbling. I can get on now using my email. I wasn't able to do that before. Now I can go right to the latest posts. Jean, I checked out 4 other forums and nothing compares to this one.
