My West Virginia family has stored their seeds away for winter. The last of the autumn vegetables are in the ground and the tomato plants have given up their last fruit. It's such a contrast to our gardening schedule in Alachua County where many of us are just starting our cooler weather crops now!
All branches of the Alachua County Library District have a selection of November seeds ready to be "borrowed" and tried out. Thanks to generous donations from our friends many locations also have flower seeds to loan. Donations of home grown bouquets will be accepted in lieu of seed returns for these items.
Contact your closest location for a full list of what your library has to share.
