I'm a new member to this amazing site and so excited about the information I've found already. I live in Morgan Hill, CA and am just able to start planting as I just moved into an apartment that has it's own backyard! Before this I was limited to balcony planting so container gardening or failure should I say is the little information I know.

I've worked for an Agriculture Dept for 4 years now and have great access to seeds and information just never really was able to use it personally until now. I have seeds that I'm willing to share and trade with others. (Pumpkin seeds, Flowers, Peas and others)

I'm currently really limited in space so I'm looking into dwarf fruit trees such as figs, persimmons and jujube trees. Other interests in dragon fruit and papaya. I live in a usda zone 9 so i think the majority of what I'm looking at can grow here. I'm just learned that some of these trees can be grown from cuttings...

Hi Joanna. Welcome to NGA!

My first thought was that you might enjoy participating in, or just watching, a seed swap. You can find them by pulling down "Tools&Apps" fro m the menu at the top o0f the screen, then selecting "Seed Swaps". After that, find a swap you might be interested in and read some of the threads or browse the swap lists. Of course those are "under construction" and will be added to right up to and into the swap itself.

My second thought was that you might be interested in articles, posts and plant lists by @ediblelandscapingsc (Daniel Erdy). I think you're both interested in perennial edibles. He might have suggestions about edibles you can propagate by cuttings.

I hope to see you around the website and in seed swaps! I mostly trade vegetable seeds and have an interest in Asian greens (Brassicas) and spinach, chard, lettuce and corn salad.
