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.
