Tag: seed box
made it all across the US of A back to SC. When I cut through ten layers of tape and pulled open the lid, those seed packets came springing out like they needed a breath of fresh air.
DH took this one and it is a bit out of focus.
There must be at least 10 times as many packets as were first placed inside the box.
The memo pad is full of words from each of the participants. Hopefully I will be able to let you see/read what each one had to say.
Charlotte - 'Kratz7' - placed some picture 'postcards' in the box for each of us to share. Please do tell me that all of the ten did take one. They are beautiful. Thanks you so much for sharing your photography gifts with us.
The seeds are so plentiful, I will be sharing them with Master Gardeners, friends, neighbors, fellow home gardeners and any of you that would like a small share. Send me a PM with your address and I will mail you several packets of seed as a re-share.
I do so love the thought that our seeds are being grown all over the US. When the veggies and flowers get to the harvest and bloom time, do share photos with the Garden Guides members.
About October we will start another box. Thanks to everyone that participated and all you that kept up with the travels of the Seed Box.

Rain and small storms came through during the night. The weather channel had 1.69 inches listed this morning so that means we got about an inch. It was wonderful just laying in bed listening to the rain come down and the thunder and lightening.
It is rumbling again just now in the distance, so we may get more during the afternoon. Most likely will wait until time for the children to get out of school. My house is just across the street from a middle school (5th and 6th grades). They did erect a cover over the main walkway from the school a few years ago and that helps.
Did some potting up of cuttings from GG friends yesterday, planted some bulbs from GG friends and started a small container of cactus plants from a friend here in town. I call that a good day. And I call all these members that love to share the best ever. Thanks to all of you.
Then decided to make a list of what type seeds I have. Good Golly, didn't know I had that many different kind. Maybe not a lot of each flower but enough I think to start the Seed Box come January. Might just coerce my daughter into participating. She did sign up on GG and sends me a note once in a while. She works from home and is on the computer a lot so I know she doesn't like to spend her 'free time' just looking around. She has some different plants than I do so she would be an asset to our little venture.
Did some housecleaning today. I truly think is it more strenous than working in the garden. At least when you get a garden bed ready, it stays pretty for a lot longer than a house does after you have scrubbed and dusted.
Time to break and get us some vittles. Glad Granny Clampet isn't here to cook for us!! DH watches a lot of Beverly Hillbillies and I do at least have to listen to them.
