I would like to know if anyone would be interested in a vegetable seed swap.

It would be limited to a maximum of 30 verities per swap.

Seeds will be accepted till late October to give everyone a chance to prepare their seeds.

Commercial seeds are welcome.

You can send a wish list with your seeds and I will do my best to send you as many as possible.

If youÂre interested let me know.

Thanks.

Tod Hess

    Tod-You need to repost your link. It doesn't go to your Seed To Seed Gardens page or your exchange page.

    I alphabetized your tomato's list and fixed some spelling. I can do your whole list if you like but you can add in your numbers..it makes looking for and trading easier :)

    You have some varieties I never heard of like Apielson. I'd love to hear more on your garden and see pictures.

    Please read my list and hopefully we can trade.

    I also am starting a community garden with over 100 varieties...for starter seed I can gladly save and return at harvest....we are..... well, here's the list followed by the First Fruits blurb.

    First Fruits Harvest Garden 4644 M-33 Hwy. Onaway, MI 49765

    While there are many needs in other countries and hungry everywhere, the goals of First Fruits are to:

    *Feed the local community with organically grown, open pollinated, local vegetables. To be distributed through the FOOD Pantry currently established on site.

    *Provide a place for those who wish to grow their own produce and provide seed, etc.

    *Open pollinated seeds will be saved and used/given away. No hybrids will be used. This establishes a fresh Seed Bank as well.

    Current and future goals are: raised-bed gardens, grains, water supply, storage and greenhouse. We are asking for a tax deductible donation to start "seed" money for such a project.

    Should such a project fail, monies would be donated to the local food pantry and people would still be fed.

    Projected Budget-
    $500 establishes the garden plot including seed.
    $3600 establishes a greenhouse and storage area.
    Overall projected budget of operation to start is $4100. After the initial investment maintenance follows and the budget reduces.

    Thank you for helping
    Project Manager, Earl Bassett
