Seed Exchanges

If anyone enjoys seed saving and/or growing heirloom vegetables and flowers, I recently found and joined a friendly, active online seed-exchange group. The link is HERE

Thank you Nenupar. I'm always looking for seeds.

Today I was researching 6 foot by 3 foot raised bed vegetable gardens and ran across this. The total space is 6' by 3" and each 12 inches square with the following plants in each square.
