Hi LizM,

You're wonderful to be setting this up! I'm in zone 7A, in Bethesda, just outside DC. Beautiful full-sun and semi-shade light. I've only done flowers so far. I'll give back seed gratefully.

Thanks, Ellen

This is an excellent idea. I'm very much a newbie and would love to grow my own veggies. This year will be my first garden. I'm in Southeast Wisconsin, according to the maps Zone 5b? I think. LOL Lots to learn.

Thanks for doing this!

Kim, I'm fairly new to gardening myself but we have plenty of seeds that I stocked up on. I'd be happy to share them with you. I am also zone 5 and will gladly give you the info I have for our zone, although I am not as north as you are. My garden is protected from severe winds as it's between homes and it has permanent raised beds. If you're doing container gardening, please let me know when you send me your snail mail info so I can supplement the resources I have. WELCOME to the wonderful world of the freshest veggies & herbs...there's nothing else like it!!!

Seeds? Yes Please!! Wow what a great idea! My husband and I have decided to give this vegetable gardening thing a go. We have been buying local for years but I feel lazy buying local. I want to grow my own! We started turning our yard yesterday. I would love some seeds as all I have at this point is dirt and veggie dreams!!! Wish us luck!!

I am an "experienced" gardener in zone 6 with some seeds to share. Mostly standards like lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, spinach, basil and some flowers. I love the square foot gardening method for beginners - it's a great way to get started without getting overwhelmed!!

How do we know which newbie needs a garden?!

This is exciting!!

What a great site! Yes, I'd love some seeds please. I'm in Georgia in zone 7 if I looked it up right. I found this site when I was looking at the Farmers Almanac site, looking to see when it would be best to plant. I have started getting the ground ready already. I've only grown wildflowers, and potted tomato plants before. I'd like to try some beans, tomato's, onions, herbs, peppers, and other veggies. So if anyone has any seed to share, I will really appreciate it, and can pay it forward next season :) Thanks!

I think this is a fantastic idea- I live in Key West and central NY, where I do the majority of my gardening. I will be happy to share seeds, as I always have some leftover, and some saved from my own plants, mostly flowers. I would love to find someone locally who would trade with me in this way- I would share seeds if they would start some of those that need a head start. I don't have a suitable place for seedling starting right now, and I won't be in one place for a solid 6-10 weeks to keep an eye on them.
