1: Gardening can be quite expensive 2: Finding the plants you really want can be a daunting task. If you're anything like me, you enjoy making changes to your gardens on pretty much a yearly basis. I call this 'puttering'. I'm always adding, moving, and redesigning. After all, what good is puttering in the garden if there's little to do? While this is good therapy and for many like myself the ultimate form of relaxation mixed with exercise, it can cost a bundle! I'll remove a section of garden with a brilliant new garden design in mind and head off to the local garden stores, only to find they have nothing I wanted. In the past I've settled for what was to be had, only to find myself not happy with it next year and the 'puttering' begins again. Then I discovered……….. ONLINE SEED EXCHANGES!!!!! Online seed exchanges are simple online forums where gardeners can post notices of excess seed they have and are willing to exchange for what you have. You can also post requests for seed you'd like. This is a remarkable service! It costs you nothing but a few cents postage to find the garden seed you’ve been looking for and to share your seed with other gardeners. I'm always thrilled to acquire seed in late fall and propagate them in winter so the plants are ready for next springs puttering season. Here are some of the best online seed exchanges.

I Was Asked if I Had Any Stepping Stone Molds. I had to say no. Nothing like losing a sale! I don't sell them because of postal costs. Molds don't weigh much but are big when you get to step stone size. The Post Office and everyone else use a system called 'volumetric pricing'. This means if you send a big light box, it will be charged as if it weighed X lbs. X is an average for what a box that size would hold. So your 13 oz. or so mold is charged as if it weighed 5 pounds. I can't ask anyone to pay that much so I just don't sell large mold… 3.
