Reid (or anyone else, for that matter), do you have any advice for getting kale to germinate?? I seem to be able to grow everything but kale, for some reason -- I can plant a whole packet of seed and maybe get 2 plants !
I will totally second Arlene's post about the Piggy Seed Swap -- this was my first year and it was an absolute blast! One of the best parts is that you don't have to send out a bunch of individual swaps, you just send everything to one person at the end, and then all the stuff that you requested comes to you. Just plan to dig up a couple more garden areas, because you're not going to know what the heck to do with everything!!
