Last week, @dain and I got together to have a chat and do a seed swap! Exchanging seeds is a great way of saving money and experimenting with seeds you might not have bought.
Just make sure that the seeds you're swapping are in date, write the names on an envelope and when to sow them and you're good to go! You can even take photos of the front and back of the seed packets and save them in a folder on your phone.
But the main thing is to sit down and have the chats with a friend! Happy seed swapping!

I always have random seeds spilled in the bottom of my seed box. Periodically I throw a handful in a bed that I call my “wonder garden”. I call it that because I throw the random seeds in and wonder what will grow.

Hello from California!🌞 I just found you and Catherine over the weekend and have been enjoying your channels! You ladies got me so inspired, I spent yesterday writing out my garden goal while watching your chity chats, lol!😊 Quick tidbit of info: our seeds do not expire. The seed companies are required to only sell new seeds for the calender year, and that is why there is a date on the seed package. Seeds want to grow!🌱 The thing is, the older a seed is, it has a lower germination rate. Just like you were talking about in this video, just sow extra seeds to give yourself a better chance at germination. People have come across seeds in old envelopes from decades gone by, stuck them in soil and they got plants! 🌿 I hope that was helpful! Im gonna move on to your next video now! Enjoy your day!!❤

Oh I so needed this 😂 thank you for your endless exuberance and giggles☺️planning to start some seeds by the end of January. My growing season won't be till the snow is gone 😫 but not going to let that dampen my excitement! I wish the garden centres in my area of Quebec had coffee shops attached to them like you do in the UK. I feel like they're missing out on something. One of my kitties was having the zoomies this morning and she stopped when I started your video. She was watching you intently as you went through the seed packets😻Syd usually only stops to watch when there's a fish keeping video on 🤣 Have a lovely week Karen and Catherine p.s. I think my seed box is bigger than Karen's 😱😱😱

I did a bee keeping course a few years ago, it was very interesting. In the end I decided it wasn’t for me, it was more involved than I thought & there was nowhere near that could set up a hive or two. I didn’t want to risk setting one up in my garden for two reasons, possible neighbour problems & the fact that you don’t know if your neighbours are using pesticides. Also if you want more garden space & a workshop, try to move heaven & earth to get it while you are young, time passes fast, you’d only need about a third or a half an acre garden to achieve it.

Yes I have a Karen seed box but my husband went wild with the seed catalog pictures. He bought seeds that can't grow in a dry arid climate like Texas and in packages of 100 tomato seeds or 100 cauliflower seeds. My nursery owner wants to buy organic seed from me. ha ha Then he "ordered" 11 tomato plants. All indeterminate and patio or grape varieties. That 3x6 bed was a jungle of vines so yes I laughed when I saw Karen's box. You two are so much fun. Thanks for the video. If you two were rich: Catherine you would have a flow bee hive and David Beckham would be your bee keeper. Karen would have full time staff just to weed the garden. Take care you two and stay warm.

As for the seeds, I know what you mean, you see a packet with like a million seeds and you think how many plants you could grow and how much money you would save on buying plants already grown! The pictures on the front are soooo lovely too! and wild thoughts of that beauty growing in your own garden for just a couple of squids! I have stopped myself from looking at them now, I dont have a green house but I do have a conservatory but I usually end up with so many plants they take over. I am hoping to move this year, so goodness knows what I will be like with a new garden to play with!

Organizing by month is exactly what indid for this year. It doesn't feel so overwhelming. I've started my wintersowing and if I dint see any activity by mid February I will sow the seeds again. I think that will also help me narrow down exactly when I can start. Mid March for me is always the time I can guarantee start seed sowing but now that I have a cloch maybe I can start sooner!!!

Locally grown and harvested honey will help with allergies if u have any. Add to tea or toast daily. It helps me a ton with mine! It also helps cats and dogs with their skin allergies or other allergies as well. Our vet has us give our three dogs (see profile pic) a tsp of locally harvested honey in their breakfasts daily. Our dogs r quite large tho so I wouldn’t give a cat or small dog a tsp - more like 1/8-1/4 tsp in their food daily. It’s important that it’s locally harvested tho bc the bees r pollinating the local flowers in ur area. We get ours from a local health food store that stocks the honey from a local bee keeper.

I had great tomato harvest from my 4 plants on my balcony, but because it was such drich summer last year it took till August for them to start ripening, and some had rather tough skin. Will grow tomatoes again and some peas, and my strawberries hopefully will survive the cold weather 🤞🫶

During swarming season you can ( if you know how) capture a swarm of honey bees. Few years back a swarm arrived in our garden, I rang our local beekeepers association who told us to not disturb the swarm, and let them settle for the night. Early in the morning, they came with a hive moved the queen inside and took the swarm away. Bees are beutiful

Loved this...I needed some SeedSisterTime!! While I've injured my leg and kinda couch bound.. I did get my seeds out, just to hear the shake, shake, shake! I have Aster, Strawflowers and Stock that I'd love to grow... Life is about a seed box dreams, huh! Thanks... 💐

I had so many seeds, I went to Dollar Tree and bought little containers to consolidate all the packages that were alike. I have an illness, ha. Im afraid I have to buy multiple bags incase they dont come up. Have fun. 🌲🌺🌲

I’ve sown seeds that are 5 years old. The seed companies have to put seed dates on the packets to sale their products. Seeds can be good for up to six years and longer.

Great video! I’m pleased to see its not just me who buys more seeds than I have room for. I’d love to grow the colourful carrots but I don’t have space. They look great! Was it zinnea that Catherine said don’t like to be disturbed? I didn’t make a note and now I can’t find it without watching the whole video.
