Just a few mere days ago, Seeds of Change launched their Sowing Millions Project with the intent to outfit home and community gardeners with enough free organic seeds to encourage organic gardening and eating. Luckily I heard about this in time to fill out the form for my own set of 25 seed packs before they ran out.
Also, for those of you who have never ordered from Seeds of Change, their seed packs are resealable zipper bags! AND they’re recyclable!
Here’s what they sent me:
- Tomato, Thessaloniki
- Tomato, Oregon Spring Bush
- Tomato, Gold Currant Cherry
- Tomato, Red Currant
- Tomato, Porter Improved
- Cucumber, Northern Pickling
- Watermelon, Early Moonbeam
- Chili, Peruvian Purple
- Chili, Rio Grande Hot
- Celery, Red Stalk
- Amaranth, Greek
- Lettuce, Formidana
- Lettuce, Four Seasons
- Lettuce, Rouge de Grenoblouse
- Lettuce, Thai Green
- Radicchio, Early Palla Rossa
- Radish, Round Black Spanish
- Catnip, Lemon
- Balsam
- Dill, Mammoth
- Chives, Garlic
- Calendula, Red Splash
- Snapdragon, Rocket Mix
- Balloon Flower
- Tobacco, Scherazi
After talking with another gardener who also received her order this week, it appears that we got different things. So time to think about swapping a few seeds here and there to expand our selections.
I’m VERY excited about all of these!

That’s AWESOME! I got mine the other day. I got similar varieties, but you have a few different ones. I’m wondering if the tobacco is worth growing for the flowering features – I’m not sure why else I’d grow it. Tea? I’ll have to look that one up. :)
Here’s my photo of the seeds I received – not all are clearly visible, woops: http://www.flickr.com/photos/redthreaddiy/5618204332/in/photostream

It was an amazingly generous thing for Seeds of Change to do. Even if the goal were to generate PR, it was the best PR event ever. Good for people too. I just hope some really need folks were able to participate in addition to us garden junkies.
