February 2017 - NEWBIE SEED PROJECT
Comments (40)I am a musician. And when I'm not playing the drums I'm playing in the dirt. I am building my clay soil through wood chips and composting. That takes time. So I have been picking up mulch from the city and last year I laid down a strip across the front border of my property and stuck as many things as I could in there. I have a bee hive and they survived the winter!! I'm excited to see what they think of all the work I've been doing to feed them lol. I have a friend that has over 20 hives and I convinced him to turn his back yard into a bee Buffett. So I'll be setting him up this year. I have mulched about 1/3 of the tree lawn and that is where I put some of the pretty, ivansive plants. Im just discovering the world of hardy/perennial and self seeding vegetables. (Sorrel and arugula are on my watch list) It all started bc I didn't want to mow my lawn but my passion for giving plants a life in my Yarden has beecome so much more...fruitful....See MoreSEED DONATIONS--Esplly Flowers-NEEDED FOR NEWBIE SEED PROJECT 2018-19/
Comments (20)Hi Val, I'm not technically a GW newbie but haven't used it since I lived in Kentucky a decade ago. I live in Minnesota now and I just moved from a house/garden I worked on for several years to a new home with nothing but a compacted yard, a few scraggly hostas and Lilly of the Valley, and 3 struggling hydrangeas, ack! Unfortunately the sale and move happened so fast I wasn't able to bring any of my plants with me so I'm starting from scratch again. Would be grateful for a starter package of seeds to get a jumpstart on the scope of work I have ahead of me! Not picky, a mix of flowers and veggies, or anything for z4 would be so helpful! Once I get some plants established, I'd be happy to donate back for the next gardener in need! TIA - Angela...See MoreNEWBIE SEED PROJECT - Seeds for Newbies - MARCH 2019
Comments (16)Val, I received the package. I was delighted to see so many different varieties! I am very excited to start the plants indoors, and when it's warmer will sow some outside. Thanks so much!...See MoreNEWBIE SEED PROJECT - Seeds for Newbies - APRIL 2019
