I would be willing to do this ... :)

The method of planting peas I've heard of for this far north says just bury the peas in the snow as close to the ground as you can. The snow doesn't harm most of the seeds, and as it melts it triggers the peas to sprout, the ground is nice and soft…

Well, this seems as good a place as any to announce my similar news. I just got word yesterday that I have a job offer up in NW Iowa. I will be moving to Sioux Center in about 4 weeks and, regretfully, leaving my gardening spaces here in Des Moines.…

Jennie, I'm open to anything if there is extra. If anyone plans on heading out to the garden, I believe I still have some seed savers melon seeds in the shed (the back shelf) that are available for the swap. I didn't have much luck with them, last y…

This is a great idea. I could use ideas for gardening since we just moved in this winter! And it would be great to spend some time with "garden heads". I really love the idea of sharing packages of seeds. I plan to attend.

Umm... I hadn't given it that much thought dear. :-) Probably chairs at tables. The little bowls idea would work if that's how you wanted to do it. I just have all my seeds in clear ziplock baggies. I'll probably pre-package some, but also trade for…

I agree, I have a propensity for negativity ad criticism. I am trying to work on that and it is difficult. I might over criticize things because I tend to feel people rarely say they dislike something and just accept things the way they are. Which I…

Donna, I read your post a few times and contemplated not responding, but....here I am. I guess first of all, it seems to me that the tone of your posts have been a little bit negative and maybe even critical. I'm not sure where you got the idea th…

Christine and Sandy, If y'all have something you're looking for, let me know and I'll see if I can set them aside for you on Saturday and get them to you at a different time. -Jennie

I will have my daughter in town and plan to bring her as well! We will need to leave early to be at the Civic Center for a play at 1:00 but am looking forward to sharing out seeds :)

Oh! I forgot to mention, this event is kid-friendly. I'll have my little crawler. So, Bring 'em if you got 'em. If you have one at that age where counting is fun, they might even enjoy things. Other kids will probably find it pretty dull, so bring s…

Yeap fowarded that email. I don't think many people in the neighborhoods know there is a Community Garden and if they do I am not entirely sure they know what a Community Garden is. To me, if there are people living in a Community with an establish…

I'm sorry Donna, but your post is very confusing. Thanks for inviting the Drakers! That's awesome. Did you forward the email that I sent out? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> If any of us want to get more members or a waiting list we should canvas, it is suppose t…

I just invited the Drake Community Garden members. If any of us want to get more members or a waiting list we should canvas, it is suppose to be a Community Garden. And while I think individuals should have a plot, there is suppose to be a rotation.…

I posted a comment to Donna's Page, I hope you two can propose a date for the seed swap! Emily and I have some seeds that we can divvy up. I would prefer a weekend afternoon.

I think either the library location or Alexanders space would work great!
