Gardening is fun, healthy and rewarding. Pass the love.

What a wonderful post--and a great idea. Many people will discover gardening's a good way to meet your neighbors and get to know them. I really like the idea of neighbors encouraging neighbors.

All my tomatoes this year are heirlooms except for the sweet 100s. I'll be collecting my own seeds from everything else this year. I do have collected squash seeds and some watermelons, beans, and cantaloupe.
