The first few shots are from the seed swap area alone… amazing! What an incredible selection… and all free! I was volunteering in the swap room for 2 hours, so I feel like I did my time and got amply paid.
All the swap seed together:
Tomatoes only:
Other vegetable seed:
No pictures of the packets of pea and bean seed, but there were quite a few.
And then these are my “paid” purchases: a couple of garlics, some zucchini seed… plus some neat knit-and-leather gardening gloves in return for a donation to the Perth-Dupont Community Garden. That’s where the broken garlics (Music) below came from. The whole garlic is from Cubits Organics.
… and here’s Naomi Rivka, helping me plant it all! Well, (l-r) Clematis virginiana, white boneset, nodding wild onion, blue false indigo and bluestem goldenrod. All native species, though I’m not sure I will actually end up planting them all out. The boneset does not look lovely, I must say.
The blue false indigo, actually, didn’t get planted, because the seeds need scarifying. Lacking sandpaper or any kind of file to rough them up with, I followed the package directions and am currently soaking them in hot water overnight (while letting the hot water cool off). I will hopefully plant them in the morning.
Oh – I bought some of Gayla Trail’s clever little garden buttons, too… but I’m too tired to take a picture of them now, and one of them (I {heart} dirt) is already missing. Waah! :-(((
All in all, a most tiring but successful day!
