Just realized my local library has a seed swap box in the lobby
I was picking up a book in Portland last Thursday and saw a little wooden crate labeled 'free seeds' next to the community board. It was full of little envelopes people had made from folded paper, with stuff like basil, cherry tomatoes, and green beans written on them. I grabbed a pack of lettuce seeds, which is perfect because a head of lettuce is like $3 at the store now. It got me thinking about how growing even just one thing on a windowsill can cut down a grocery bill. Has anyone else tried starting a mini herb or veggie garden from free or swapped seeds?
