This year I attended a seed exchange meeting in my neighborhood here in Berlin, and also exchanged by mail with friends from the UK.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I must confess my notes were not so detailed at the local swap but it was a nice surprise to find out what the produce looked like as they grew. These sweet peppers ripen to a beautiful orange color, but taste great green as well. I was a bit better at writing down the name of this beautiful small and round eggplant called &#8220;Melanzana Prosperosa&#8221;, also received in a seed exchange.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-bf46b3c9 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/eggplantseedswap2-1024x1024.jpg ,https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/eggplantseedswap2-scaled.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/eggplantseedswap2-scaled.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 150px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/eggplantseedswap2-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-91\" width=\"2787\" height=\"2787\" title=\"eggplantseedswap2\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, as you put aside some seed this fall for the next season, think of saving some extra and exchanging with other gardeners. If you can&#8217;t find a seed exchange event in your area, why not set up one? You can also look for groups that exchange seeds by mail, in this case you won&#8217;t meet face to face but can find a bigger variety of interesting seeds to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A great way to connect with gardeners in your local area or even far away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":90,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[43,42,38,25],"class_list":["post-89","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community","tag-exchange","tag-fun","tag-ideas","tag-seeds"],"aioseo_notices":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/seedswap-scaled.jpg",2560,2560,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/seedswap-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/seedswap-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/seedswap-768x768.jpg",768,768,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/seedswap-1024x1024.jpg",790,790,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/seedswap-1536x1536.jpg",1536,1536,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-content\/uploads\/seedswap-2048x2048.jpg",2048,2048,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Lenara","author_link":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/author\/lenara_0zhsjz\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"A great way to connect with gardeners in your local area or even far away.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=89"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":92,"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/89\/revisions\/92"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/90"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=89"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=89"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lenara.com\/urbangarden\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=89"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
