I can send you seeds. I'm going to follow this with a lot of advice and I'll probably sound bossy, but I don't mean to. If you'll set up your Messaging and send me your address I'll mail you seeds. I have mostly flower seeds, but I can get you started. 1. Go to your settings and set up Messaging. When you click on my username it will open to my page and itn the upper right corner it says "Message". That's how we talk to each other privately so we don't share private information like addresses with the world. You'll need to get your Messaging set up. There's a post closer to the top of this thread for Newbies. 2. Edit your username. If you'll notice, behind our username there's a number. Example: val (MA z6) . That means Val lives in USDA hardiness zone 6. That helps us know what plants will grow in her area. I'm in zone 4/5 in Nebraska. Edit your username and put your zone. You get a bonus point for putting it in your message! Good job! That's how we match people up and it's easier for you to make connections that are most productive. 3. Go to your Ideabook Wishlist and put down a few things. You can be general (any annuals for zone 6) or very specific (Tagetes patula 'Joker'). The more information you put down the better it is for us who want to send you seeds that make you happy and thrive. You can say things like, "Cottage Flowers" "Red and Yellow Flowers" "Fruit and Veggie Seeds for zone 9" 4. If you'd like, check out the Round Robin Forum. There are groups that have monthly swaps. Also--fall is when several swaps come up like the Secret Santa Swap. We send each other Christmas Cards with seeds in them. Welcome to the club! I'll look for your message. Heidi

Hi Tylor, (at 105 trailing vine, irvine, ca 92602) This is Tom Nguyen, can you send me some ochna seeds please? I am at 22162 Padova, Laguna Hills, CA 92653. I have live plants such as aloe vera, shiso, that I can bring to you. Thanks, Tom 949.701.5441

Patty, a slight delay but the seeds are officially in the mail as of today. Good luck. Tim

Hi All, Many of you will recognize me from the Newbie Seed Project. We offer a variety of seed packs to newbies here on GW/Houzz their first year, and/or if for some reason they are starting over. I putting this ask out early, as people are starting to collect/save seeds, and I would appreciate any extras you have to donate. In the past couple years, there seems to be a higher request for veggie seeds (maybe 3 to 1) than flowers, tho we get requests for both. Questions, please message me..and/or for my mailing address (which is new..just moved this summer) THANK YOU in advance! Val
