I’ve joined the Gardenbloggers seed GROW project! Described as ” … a communal seed growing project … designed to get as many garden bloggers as possible to grow the same plant starting from seed” it’s overseen by veteran garden writers Mr.Brown Thumb and Colleen Vanderlinden of In the Garden Online.
Renee Shepherd of the well-known and beloved ReneesGarden.com is sponsoring the project. She’s generously supplying FREE seeds to participating home garden bloggers all across the United States. We’ll sow and grow the seeds out together and share with each other and our readers our experiences as we do. Here’s a first peek at the free seeds Renee’s supplying:
Nasturtiums! A stunning, climbing variety, “Spitfire” inspires endless plant combination possibilities. Nasturtium blossoms are well-loved by hummingbirds and other pollinators. The leaves and blossoms are also edible. (Yes, I’ve have eaten them… many times!) Nasturtiums thrive in even harsh soils and are drought tolerant. “Spitfire” will be right at home in my cottage-style garden and I can’t wait to see how and where the other bloggers will use it!
Please take a few minutes to view the list of participating bloggers and their blogs @ gardenbloggers.com and be sure to check back here…

What fun! I have some of Renee’s nasturtium seeds here, though mine are ‘Copper Sunset’. I often buy her seeds, had no idea I could get some for free! I was living in Felton, CA some years ago when her store there was still ‘Shepherd’s Garden Seeds’. She’s always had interesting varieties of seed. Can’t wait to see how your climbing nasturtiums turn out. My ‘Copper Sunset’ is a mounding variety that I’m planting out along the edges of the vegetable garden. Fun thing is nasturtiums are tasty too!
Had it not been for Twitter and Mr. Brown Thumb I would have missed out as well. Thanks for following along, I’m very excited to be united with fellow bloggers on this growing adventure!
