"I’ve got a big crop of red lettuce seed to harvest :) I also have Molokai seeds (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corchorus_olitorius) and a bunch of random stuff! It’s hard to know what might interest you. I also have a Cuban oregano plant if anyone…"
"Well, I am very thankful for what she did. It was an amazing service while it lasted. I miss it so much!"
"Nice! I have some heirloom lettuce seeds I can share with you as well. My lettuce is mainly a green leafy variety. I would love some red lettuce and radish seeds. I would not mind trying some arugula too. I also have cilantro too. I have…"

"I am in Glendale. I don’t have any specific seeds in mind. I like to save seeds and would love to share or swap. VPA had a seed library at a Glendale library once a month, but that ended many years ago. I don’t really know what resources are…"
"This group evolved in a few directions. There are now seed libraries available at many libraries and seed swaps happening around town.Are there any seeds you’re looking for specifically and what part of town are you in?"
"Is this group still active? I don’t see any posts since 2015."
Is anyone interested in an Urban Worm Bag set up? I have used it for a while but realized I just don't have enough green matter to keep the worms happy. If anyone is interested, contact me (lafitzpatrick@cox.net)
Well, I wanted to say thank you to this community and the knowledge you share. My seasons with this group are coming to a close physically as we are moving back to Oregon.
