Hi All! Some of you will recognize my name. I run the Newbie Seed Project, which Bakemom started and ran for 10 years before passing the torch! I know many of you are still in your gardens, working and some have just started to collect/dry your seeds this year. Please keep the Newbie Seed Project in mind...and we would greatly appreciate any and all seed donations - flowers, herbs, veggies! The Newbie project has been going for 13 years now...WOW! Let's keep it going -- helping newbies get started with some of your extra seeds! If you can donate, please message me. THANK YOU! Val

Our seed exchange pretty much only accepts seed that is organically grown in our county. That way it is climatized to this zone. A lot of people grow an extra row or a few extra plants just for seed. Nancy
