With the on and off talk of "green dollars" or "voucher systems" or "barter systems" over the years, I've always wondered what I could offer by way of exchange. Well I have discovered one way. Seedlings! A friend bought around a bag of used clothes for Danielle the other day and it felt great to finally give her something back for her generosity (considering Danielle lives in 80% of this friends hand me downs) - I had potted up some seedlings for her and knowing that she is keen to get a garden going, this has given her the incentive to get it all prepared to put some things in.
When I attended the talk with the permaculture couple a few weeks ago, they were discussing how back in older times, swapping seeds (your best ones too) was considered a very generous gift - I can certainly believe that if your family was relying on home grown produce!

I'm enjoying this too. I find herbs are good even for people who don't want to garden much but do like to cook. I've given away several thyme and oregano seedlings plus other veg.
