Not to butt in on how ya'll are doing things but on a candle group I was on many moons ago we did a seed swap. The way we did it was one person kinda headed it up. She was the one everyone sent their packets too. I think there ended up being like 10-12 people participating. So you made up the 10-12 packs along with instructions and a self addressed and postage paid padded envelope. Then she separated everything and placed the envelopes in the mail. Worked out neat. I can honestly say that I never did use one seed from that swap not sure why. (I really need to try and find that envelope. Something in there might still be viable)

Currently, we are up in the air about whether to make raised bed gardens while tilling and prepping the actual area we want for a regular garden (doing prep work so we can sow directly into the ground next year), or if we till and mix in enough compost, mulch, fertilizer, it would be ready to go this year and just skip the raised beds.

NOTHING has been planted on our homestead AS FAR AS WE KNOW since at least 2001.... but more than likely not since a LONG time before that as well. I am thinking it might be best to do a few 4x8 raised bed gardens in a closer area, and then doing a good years worth of tilling and mulching the 1/2 - 1 acre we want to do our serious planting on. Any suggestions?

I have raised beds in my community garden. Since I don't need the soil level raised for drainage or to contain amendments, if I had it to do over again, I would just frame in the walking / kneeling paths instead. Remember, if you really do decide you'd like to use a cultivator, you can't. Of course, if you are handicapped a very tall raised bed is the way to go...

I have broom sorghum and mennonite sorghum. Chicken Crack. LOL.

I have limited supply of both.

My 2000 sq foot garden is now under our newest barn. Sigh. I tried to container garden last year. What a waste of time. I can't figure out what to do with the garden. I miss the fresh tomatoes, and the pickling cukes. I cannot figure out where to put a new garden! Sniff sniff.

I live in the city by necessity. If you have a choice of where to put a garden, I'm jealous!

HAVE TO SHARE: BLACKBERRY LILY SEEDS
i live in zone 6; barely. Cleveland Ohio. I bought Blackberry Lily (not edible!) seeds from Monticello in Virginia, and started them last year. They took OVER 2 MONTHS to germinate (I started them in peat pellets) but I got a good percentage of starts. The iris plants look like standard on-the-small-side bearded iris leaves, and there are multiple flowers orange/yellow with spots) on each stem, but be aware the flowers are only about one inch diameter. The PLANTS I bought at Monticello (in case the seeds didn't start) seeded like crazy. If anyone wants some seeds, send me a self-addressed stamped envelope. When you get the seeds, I would recommend putting them in a damp, not wet, paper towel and a plastic bag, and refrigerated them until spring; it might improve germination speed. Maybe keep half unrefrigerated and do a side-by-side? Seeds are free; share if they do well for you! If I run out of seeds I will keep your envelope, and if my plants survive our Polar Vortex winter weather and seed again next year, I'll send them on.

P.S.: I have old Ohio Native milkweed seed that may or not be viable. If you'd like me to include some to try, tuck a note in the envelope.

I would love the milkweed to try!! I have eggs being shipped in someday this week and could mail out envelope when I go to post office to pick up or if I go out earlier this week. I don’t leave the house much lol..I’m Northwest Ohio I’d love to attract monarchs!
