I send you a message with a request to join the April project. It will come from jackiezimmerman442 and that's my real name!

Could I Join this project?

Hi, my name is John, and I would like to join the April project. We moved in to our house a few years ago, and sadly I have let the yard go wild. I'm looking forward to include my 12 month old daughter in this adventure, and regain control of my backyard :)

Hi Kristan, you can! As a newbie you can join one time and request a newbie pack of either flowers or veggies. Read the post above and send me your info :D

Hello! This is my submission for the seed project :) My real name is Cami Raben and I’ve included the rest of my personal info in my message to you. We’ve had to pull up our entire yard and refill/regrade for drainage purposes after some flooding. I’m building new garden boxes and going to begin rebuilding our garden! We’re in climate zone 8.

Hello, I would love to join the April project. I have never thought that I'd be a gardener cause I'm afraid of bugs, but got my first house and I found that I love gardening! I have/am pulling up 1/2 acre of invasive weeds, and am looking for long blooming deer/rabbit resistant flowers to replace the mugwort, stiltgrass, garlic mustard, etc. Thanks you so much! zone 5/6 Pa

Hello, I would love for help with more seeds! I'm just starting out my
garden. I bought a greenhouse and everything. I live in a cooler climate
so the greenhouse is paramount. I love herbs, succulents, cacti, vines,
trees, and flowers. I grow so veggies too. I love it all. I'm low on
cash since I put all my money into the greenhouse and a raised bed. I am
looking forward to trading with all of ya'll. Thanks!

I would like to join the April project please.

Those of you interested in the April Newbie packs that I have not heard from, please read the entire post and message me accordingly! THANKS!

So glad to see all of you! This is a great place and lots of people with experience, encouragement and friendly advice. I'm sure you'll enjoy your seeds and your summer. Then you get the chance to save seeds and trade seeds as individual swaps or group swaps. Check out the Round Robin threads when you're ready to trade! Welcome aboard! Heidi
