NEWBIE SEED PROJECT 2015-2016 HAS BEGUN!
Comments (102)Hi Val, not sure if you have many free seeds left, but if you could add me to the list, it would sure be a blessing to me. I empathize with your loss, but so glad to hear you are able to get back into gardening, as it is my happy place, too. I am recently divorced, lost my home in the divorce, which I had spent many years planting so as to be more self sufficient. So starting over again. Has taken me a few years to recoup from my loss, but I know that gardening is going to be good for me, too....See More2015 Holiday Seed Swap
Comments (190)To whoever put the alma paprika and Santa Fe grande seeds into the holiday swap, thank you!! They are positively prolific so far and I'm definitely going to enjoy this year's harvest. Would love to see photos of what others planted from the seed swap as well!...See MoreNEWBIE SEED OFFER FOR DECEMBER 2016 - JANUARY 2017 ONLY
Comments (46)VERY INEXPENSIVE SEEDS. It always hurts financially to pay $5 for a packet of a few seeds, plus $5-8 postage if mail order. This seed distribution project of Val's is wonderful. And I want to introduce newbies to an additional source of great quality almost-free seed. There is a seed company called American that is always sold at Walmart and sometimes at dollar or discount stores. I have never understood how this company can make much profit because printing the paper seed packets probably costs more than they charge. Their seed packets are about 30-50 cents each. They only sell open-polinated, but often the best cultivars of the OPs. The seed packets are put out in Ohio in walmart in March, and generally sell out very fast. I buy all my herb seed from American at Walmart, most of my vegetables (other than tomatoes), and some flower seeds. I have bought this seed for many, many years, and have always been very hsppy with my plants. When I read about Val's wonderful project, I thought I would buy American seed next March to contribute. Then I realized that the postage would cost more than the price of seeds. So it would be less expensive for people to buy this seed themselves instead of paying more postage....See MoreSEED DONATIONS NEEDED FOR NEWBIE PROJECT
