Hi, I’m new here! 👋

Just wanted to say the whole idea of the serendipity seed box has changed my world, and I’m so excited by this idea. I’m already thinking of how I could start a local community version of the serendipity box, maybe like a local, traveling seed-library.

I won’t be eligible for being added to the list for a while (in online communities, I don’t tend to post much, I usually lurk and comment), but I hope someday I will be able to participate - and until then, I’ll work hard on growing lots of good seed to contribute.

So far, I have black-eyed peas (grown from my pantry), [Maggie x Provider bush bean grex](https://store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org/products/maggie-x-provider-bush-bean-breeding-mix), and [Lofthouse landrace dry beans](https://store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org/products/lofthouse-dry-bush-bean) to share.

I grew two beds of beans this year (beds are approximately 3 - 4 feet wide, maybe 6 feet long?), here they are on Sept 14th: The further bed (more yellowing, maturing earlier) is [a Maggie x Provider breeding grex](https://store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org/products/maggie-x-provider-bush-bean-breeding-mix) from Experimental Farm Network. The bed in the foreground (more green, later-maturing) is [Lofthouse landrace dry bush](https://store.experimentalfarmnetwork.org/products/lofthouse-dry-bush-bean) beans, also from EFN. These seeds were sown July 2nd (late for my regi…

I have other seeds (like cilantro, Wasabina mustard seeds, etc.) I harvested this year but I don’t have enough yet to share with lots of people.

My red aztec spinach (_Chenopodium berlandieri_) seems to be producing lots of mature seed, but it hasn’t dried down, and I haven’t harvested or processed it yet.
