Hi all - Haven't done this swap for a few seasons mainly due to California's droughts and increased restrictions for those of us who live in the very high severity fire hazard zones (basically the highest). I've had to take out a few garden beds and reduce plantings (zone 0 is no plants within 5 feet of the home) and that left me with only full sun beds and none with afternoon shade. I did my 6 raised vegetable beds last year and with all the rain/snow this year will be growing more this season. I thought about joining swap #3 and did have enough seed but pulled back and went to ordering small packets from multiple places. Yes,
@ishareflowers I'm another person here who placed a Pinetree order pre free shipping then another after because what the heck, I want them to stay in business. Also bought from Harris and Renee's this year and after looking over the forum adding Baker Creek Orange Hat and Basil Cardinal that I've been meaning to try to my 2024 orders. Curious, has GeoSeed had fall sales lately? They used to but may have stopped after Covid.
@Bluespiral - I'd browsed previous posts and saw your hankering for a tomato to go over an arbor. Matt's Wild Cherry would do it - huge plant, prolific. I only didn't continue to grow it as I don't have little ones to send to harvest cherry tomatoes and with weeks over 100°s here, it's just not fun to harvest loads of the small cherries. I tend to grow only the larger cherries or mid-size tomatoes. But, it was tasty. Looks like both Seed Savers and Pinetree have it.
