Seeds of Change Free Seeds Have Arrived!!



There can be no other occupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling. ~Mirabel Osler


They're Here! They're Here!! Today my 25 free packets of organic seeds from Seeds of Change Arrived. Twelve days I wrote a blog entry about Seeds of Change giving away free organic seeds through their Sowing the Millions Project. It took 5 minutes for me enter my information and pay $4 for shipping and today they arrived, just like magic! As of today the program is closed because they gave away 1 MILLION seeds!! If anyone else reading this received free seeds, please email me what you got and let's keep up on what you do with them!

I plan on planting some and giving away others. I'd love to hear the list of what you got and see images of the seeds growing and being harvested.
