Flowers and seeds

Every year we do our best to have a profusion of life in our gardens.
We toil and prepare our gardens…then we toil and maintain our gardens…then we toil and put dormant our gardens as we look forward to the spring to come when we start all over again.
As I begin to prepare for the winter, I am looking to the spring ahead. I have been busily saving all the seeds I can find to save. I am excited about the new life they represent for next year, and I want to share with others as well. I have more than I can use for some of the varieties I have collected. I have made a list of the seeds I have to share, and I will post them below. I am very interested in seed swaps, as well as just sharing the seeds I have. Thank you to all who have been involved in my first seed swaps this year. I ended up with more than I need of a couple of varieties as I duplicated requests by mistake. (I am learning as I go.) I have included the names of those I have an abundance of on my list below.
This site has been so much fun this summer, and I would like to continue in the community of gardeners even into the winter…and next spring. I will be sure to document the growth of all my seeds, seedlings, and plants as they grow.
Seeds I have available (sorry they aren’t the botanical names):
Alyssum Saxatile
Bee Balm
Bellflower
Columbine
Columbine mini pinks
Dahlia
Dianthus

Thanks Ian. I was suprised at the harvest of my bush beans. This was my fourth one, just about two weeks ago, and the plants were loaded. I needed a lot of help, as you can see, to get everything they had to offer. I will have beans to eat daily at the rate I'm going...I planted new plants for a fall harvest before I realized that my summer plants were just going to keep going.

Lol, You have done a great job of your garden and I'm really jealous, (but in a good way.)
I didn't do so well this year but entirely my own fault, I didn't feed the ground or give it time to rest.......but I've got a cunning plan for next year! ! ! :~))

Mamagem, you garden looks great.
I did intend on swapping seeds with you..But another terrible ankle sprain has kept me from my garden! Sorry! I have not been harvesting any seeds at all lately. I will be overcome with weeds in no time :(...

I understand NN, hope you are up and around in record time. You never know, you might be overcome with seeds by the time you get back out there. :~)
