I have A LOT of veggie seeds and not nearly enough soil to garden them all. So, hello giveaway.
To enter this (my first!) giveaway, leave a comment with your choices (one from each group). Or if you want a surprise pack, let me know (it'll be random seeds from those listed below. Not sure about the types? Google 'em!) That's it! Resteems and upvotes are deeply appreciated but not required. If less than 10 people enter, then those 10 people win seeds. If more than ten enter, then it'll be a random selection of 10 winners.
CAVEATS:
- I have more of some seeds than others. If many people want the same type, the 10 winners will split the seeds I have. So, you may get a couple (enough to grow seed for next year's garden) or more than a couple.
- Once in the mail, it's out of my hands.
- Not all seeds are guaranteed to germinate (herbs are notorious for being fickle) or do well in your area.
- Giveaway open to US citizens only (I'm sorry! But if there was a way to ship things internationally with little hassle and little cost, I'd be all for it.)

Upvoted and resteemed for your kind offer. Personally, I am taking a year off. I have busted my ass for years now, and between drought, heat, wind, late freezes, grasshoppers, voles, birds, bugs, even my cows and chickens, I am SICK OF GARDENING. Not forever, but I am taking a year off. When I do another garden, it will be in a greenhouse, I am DONE fighting the elements around here. If I sound a little angry, I am. I LOVE to garden, but since we moved out here I have not had one good harvest. Work and work and work and then go buy the stuff I need because some animal ate it before I could... Yep, taking a year off. Maybe next year I will have my sense of humor back...

The grasshoppers, voles, birds, bugs, chickens, and cows say, "Don't give up! We love you!" :) My arch nemesis is the slug. I feel your pain. Enjoy your summer!!!

Have you tried coyote urine? One can buy it, spray around the garden and it scares critters away. https://www.amazon.com/Pete-Rickards-Coyote-Hunting-8-Ounce/dp/B00C9DKMUY
If you've tried it already, my bad. I've just heard glowing things about its ability.
Hugelculture could maybe help with next year's garden. It creates a garden area that acts as a sponge. Saw a great article about how a tomato plant went a year without watering. I've built my own and they do extend the growing season by staying warm as the underlayer composts. https://richsoil.com/hugelkultur/
Well, when you get your gardening groove back, I hope you have an excellent harvest!

Honey, I've been around the gardening block. I've made Sepp Holzer's been sauce, I have actual coyotes peeing around my land so scratch that idea... I just need to step back, regroup, and get infrastructure completed before I do anything else. I am getting too old to do everything the hard way lol!

Sepp Holzer books are definitely a great recommendation for someone, who would like to have a little helper in gardening. Thanks, dear @fishyculture for remembering me on it 😊

Group five sounds good to me. I shall make an assessment of what i have and perhaps duplicate your game. I enjoy growing things, even though i have a brown thumb. Works very well for making compost.
much love, good luck, extra-ordinary skill

Hi Mandireiserra! I would love the collection from Group 4! I garden to grow as much of my veggies as possible and to share the produce with friends. I would also, love Basil, Dill and Thyme! The tender green bean would be very welcome too!
