I went through my seed stash and put them into a spreadsheet and I’m up to 150 different kinds. I’ll probably plant about 70 varieties(10 tomatoes, 10 cucumbers, 10 kinds of peppers, 15 kinds of herbs, 10 kinds of flowers, the rest will be random vegetables). I usually just keep 1-3 of each for myself and have additional plant starts that I give away at the Magee community center or adopt out to friends.

If anyone wants some plant starts comment below about what you like and I’ll try to plant extra to share.

I am setting up my greenhouse for the first time this year. If you have any seeds that near greenhouse conditions to germinate would be happy to grow for you!

That’s tempting. There are a few plants like hibiscus where the growing season isn’t long enough.

I tend to start too many things and then give them away because I don't have the space or time. So I get this. I have, well, a lot of seed packets. I can't resist them. Starting seeds is so amazing - just watching them come up and grow is magic every time.

I've moved mostly to soil blocking and have had good success with it. Have you tried it yet?

Soil blocking looks really cool. I do tiny biodegradable grow bags. It makes them pretty easy to separate and give away.

I'd kill for some herbs! If you'd be willing to share, I'm happy to exchange for baked goods.

Anything you really want? I’m planting basil, thyme, dill, tarragon, winter savory, summer savory, parsley and cilantro. I can probably do rosemary and oregano cuttings once it’s spring again.

I have plenty of chives, garlic chives, tarragon, oregano, thyme, and probably some mints I can share when things green up in the spring!

I like tomaties.

I don't have anything to trade. Except maybe some firewood.

No need to trade anything. I just like giving plants a good home. Tomatoes won’t be ready to plant until at least Mother’s Day, but I have some varieties that are pretty quick to start producing.

Would love some grape tomatoes and sweet peppers! For trading, I am happy to divide a very large clump of chives and to contribute some pothos/begonia Rex/night blooming cereus cuttings!

You got it! I have a few sweet peppers and can give you a mix. I’m trying a new variety of grape tomato and will start a few extra.

I’d love some plants! Tomatoes and herbs (basil, cilantro, and thyme would be great), please.

I am in the middle of moving, so I don’t think I’ll have time to start seeds of my own. However, I have a tons of native plant seeds. If you (or anyone else in this thread) want some, let me know,

I’m definitely interested in some starts! We are huge bell pepper eaters (but open to any peppers) , onion, and would love to try garlic! I have garlic chives that double size each year I can trade(: I have a 11m old (he will be 15m in June) and am due with another in June so not sure how much time I’m gonna have but I want to get my son into gardening early(:

Garlic and onion are usually planted in the fall. I might have a few bulbs around, though. Peppers I can definitely do.
