Does that mean I missed the jump on my beans/peas? I actually haven't started anything and was planning to next week. First frost around me says about the 1st-2nd week of May. I imagine it's fairly similar for you unless you're a little bit further NW of me. Yes, please keep me posted on any...

Jen whatcha got in the seed trays growing??

Yeah I wouldn't expect that some of you folks with a whole bunch of property would be interested in something like this necessarily. Awesome if you are though! Like you mentioned before, flowerbug, I have to find a local seed exchange event. Seems like a great time and always fun interacting...

Yeah that makes sense that it's a bit too late for most people, even including us way up in the north. Let's see if we can bring it back to life over the end of fall/winter if you're interested. I've browsed around some other exchange websites I've seen pop up in different threads. I would just...

Posted in a different location and just now seeing there is a proper exchange forum! Long story short, I prefer planting a variety of different seeds and treating each new one as an edible experiment. I live in suburban Michigan and don't have a whole lot of gardening area like some on TEG. So...

I'm with you on this Rich. There's something special when you see such a tiny little seed begin to sprout. Through all the stages of our plants lives, God is ever present. Makes me feel even more blessed that I have the ability to help carry out His "small miracles" every growing season.

That's very exciting (not the less gardening part though :\)! I wish you the best of luck on the move. I'll be moving here soon also so I understand where you're coming from. My seedling will be started in my new "home" and continued container gardening for me for the upcoming season.

Wow Jen! 30 varieties last year, you weren't messing around haha. Why the downsize?

Welcome from a couple states over in Michigan! Interested in keeping up with your progress through the season as you're also in another historically cooler state. This will be just my 2nd season gardening and 2nd season on TEG. Glad to have ya!

I've yet to try a currant variety of tomato (from what I can remember last year). That's exciting though, I wonder if I can get my currants to grow and produce like yours or if it was just that type specifically. :fl

@Collector Uh oh what was the story with the Alberto Currant? I don't know whether to be intrigued or worried haha. I'll let you know how the 4th of July Hybrid turns out if it crosses my mind! Will have surplus of all if anyone's looking to exchange. I'll be making a thread for my general...

Hey Collector, This is my second year of gardening and made the rookie mistake of not keeping track of really much of anything last year. I know I had 2 or 3 types of cherry tomatoes and one large, beefsteak type. Here's what tomatoes I'll be trialing this year: -Fourth of July Hybrid -Tasty...

Would love some strawberry plants! ...but it's still cold up here in MI. Would love to exchange some of they were seeds. You'll find some takers, I'm sure of it. :(

I'm actually not familiar with what this is. I'm still pretty novice with any and all things gardening, relatively speaking. Still a lot to learn in my time. Can you elaborate a little bit on the "Salad in a Bowl"? Is this just kinda planting all the relative vegetables in a salad all together...

Hiya everyone, Just wanted to get this up and going with a few questions, lessons learned from last season, etc. Feel free to share anything related! Last year was successful as my first real year of gardening (in my eyes). I had a bunch of "makeshift" containers and had success with my...

@thejenx I've added these to my shopping cart from a local Michigan gardener's website. If you're interested we could exchange some or I can link you to the website!

You're off to a heck of a start! My gardening style is a bit more compact and I tend to grow veggies that are delicious when eaten raw (for the most part). I feel like I'm behind, but the freezing temps keep reminding me that I'm A-okay. Last frost here is still about two months away, in...

Just purchased my heat mat at Menards today and developing my plan on how I want to start divvying up seedlings for next week. I have a 72-cell seed tray and 26 different varieties of plants I want to try out. Bunch of tomatoes and beans specifically then a bunch of random stuff I've never tried...

Okay, here's my seed lineup for the year (some still shipping, but arriving soon). Please let me know if you're interested in exchanging for any! -Tomato: Fourth of July Hybrid, Tasty Treat, Cherokee Purple, Land Race Currant, Tiny Tim, Tigerella, Japanese Black Trifle, Tommy Toe -Bean...

Zeedman, thanks! I keep seeing these suggestions pop up about Baker Creek and seems I need to give them a look. I don't expect a whole lot from these "too good to be true" seed packets being advertised. My expectations are held within reason and just want to see what comes from them. By no means...
