2013 Spring Seed Swap

[gaitngirl]

Welcome! Requests are accepted and hopefully I will be able to fulfill some of them. I have a list going so its easier to keep track of when I start sorting.

Great! I'll get my seeds and packets together this weekend and get them out next week!

When postage was more reasonable we used to do perennial swaps on another site, too. Some of my best (and favorite) plants over the years have come from swaps - local and online both. Gardeners are always great at sharing. I guess Chicken Peeps are, too, lol!

Mine weighed 2 ounces with twelve seed packs plus the return mailer envelope so the post office put on postage for 3 ounces for the return mailer. I'm not sure how much more that was but not much. Hope I sent enough!

Lol.. I still have to gather all my seeds together. And then move all of the pots of Plumeria out onto the porch so I'll have room on the shelves for the seedlings!

denasfarm - I'm glad to know i'm not the only one started! I've already up-potted 12 different varieties of tomatoes, 4 different melons, 4 varieties of winter squash plus eggplant, cucumbers, artichokes, parsley, and basil. In my greenhouse i have lettuce, spinach, beets, broccoli rabe, cabbage, celery, kale, radishes, and potatoes all up and growing and my peas are coming up in their own little cold frame bed too. waiting on the asparagus to start showing up. My spearmint is a perrenial weed in my yard that meanders at will. One year it took over the cantalope bed then the next it moved to invade the strawberries, last year i put it in pots but it still showed up in the corn. It's like a hundred leg octopus!

I don't have room to start this early especially so I have not.

So jealous of those that are starting already. Our last frost isn't until May, so I won't be starting seeds until mid-March. At least I have plenty of time to get everything ready.

I just transplanted from the germination tray into 6 packs and peat pots broccoli (from a seed swap 2 years ago and it's still germinating just fine), cauliflower, green cabbage, peter peppers and egg plant. I still have about 12 types of peppers that I'm waiting on germiation and then in about 2 weeks I will get the tomatoes started. I got my new greenhouse set up yesterday so hopefully tomorrow I can get some shelving in there and get the flats out of my dining room.
