The Snarky Gardener has given away dozens of Seven Top turnip packets this season.
Last December, the Snarky Gardener made the crazy decision to give away his extra turnip seeds. He let 20 or so of his Seven Top turnips go to seed last spring, providing an abundance to be shared with others. So far at this writing, there have been about 35 or so packets sent through the mail (sometimes with other free and paid for seed). He will continue to offer up these wonderfully organic seeds to those who place an online order as long as supplies last (which will probably be another year or so – sigh).
I love this idea. So many of us don’t think to save any seeds. We just buy them year after year. I guess there’s something intimidating about it.
