Seed sharing carousel with @powellx5

in seeds •  6 years ago 

When @powellx5 first mentioned a post about a seed carousel to me, I thought she was going to describe what we in the south call a "lazy Susan."

I was very misled, and I'm so glad!

She sent me seeds!

A classy way to keep our addresses covered, eh?

There's so many seeds in here. The idea is to take some and put some others in.

The original list of seeds is in her post. Of them, I took Contender Beans, Black Vernissage Tomatoes, Gold Medal Tomatoes, and Sweet Chocolate Peppers. I added a pack and a half of okra, canteloupe, watermelon, and the carrots that didn't do well here in Texas.

I realized soon that my seeds are probably not heirloom seeds. It doesn't say they are. That's why I put in more than I took. Talking with @powellx5, I learned the difference between hybrids and heirloom seeds, and have ordered a Baker Creek seed catalog. Progress. Maybe I'll do another carousel myself one day to make up for not having awesome stuff this go round.

Shari set the rules such that the person having the seeds decides where they go next, so I am deciding to send them to @goldenoakfarm. If you could get with me on discord or email and shoot me your address, I'll try and get the seeds headed your way this week :)

Thanks for everything Shari, we're looking forward to your return to steem!

It'll be up to @goldenoakfarm who gets it next and what she'll add! Give her a follow :) Shari wants the seeds back in November and her return address is included in the package, so there's time for a fair number of folks to get in on this cool seed sharing project!

Stay relevant
