So, as we established earlier, the economy is doing pretty badly right now. And, from what I hear, it may take a few years to recover. Enough of the sad stuff!!! Even though we are saving money or do not have as much money to spend, we should still try to grow some plants, fruits and/or veggies. Growing them can help save money and you know what chemicals you are (or you are NOT) using on them.

Growing every plant whether it is a flower, fruit plant or vegetable can be space and time consuming.  So, in my neighborhood, we give each other seeds or extra plants that we grew. You know, the ones you are not going to use! It seemed like a good idea, to me, to expand this swap system. So, if you have extra seeds, veggie plants and/or fruit plants post the type of plant and a location you would be comfortable meeting someone to swap.

I will do the first post:

Plant: extra lettuce plants I grew
Location: I would feel comfortable meeting at the Lowe’s in New Haven.

Any takers? Any swappers?
