The seedbox has arrived! Are you curious about what the seedbox is and how I received it from @beatitudes8?

Here's the original post with all the details.

In a nutshell, it's an awesome way to share seeds and meet some fellow homesteaders.
Each person receiving the seedbox will take a few of the seeds while adding more to the pack for the next person. At the end of December 2018 it will be returned to @beatitudes8.

Here's what we got in the seedbox.

What we are putting back in the seedbox

There are two types of green beans. These are special to us as they have been in our family for over 100 years! We call the Clovis beans, but that's because it's the name of the original family member that started sharing them 100 years ago. In these parts good seeds are shared forever because they are proven to grow well in our harsh winters at 3000 ft of elevation.

The other green beans have also been passed down in our family for a very long time and are called "cut shorts". Obviously these are not scientific names :)

The third thing we added is heirloom German Pink tomatoes. These came from our 92 year old neighbor who said he has grown these from the same seeds his entire adult life. They were great for us.

Lastly we have added some very hardy zinnia flower seeds. We love these because it's one of the few things the deer doesn't eat here.

Thanks to @beatitudes8 for starting this and @goldendawne for all the help and support.

Who will get it next??
