In honor of the upcoming National Seed Swap Day, we are setting the table with swapping seeds. It is that time of the year when we plan our gardens, order our seeds, and, if we are lucky, attend a local seed swap to swap seeds and stories with our neighbors.\nToday, we visit with Sheila Pennycuff, a Librarian at the Blount County Public Library located in Maryville, TN, and the woman who took an old wooden card catalog and turned it into a seed library. This seed library is located inside the Blount County Public Library. It is an excellent service to the community where patrons check out seed and contribute seed back to the seed library.\n\nI also let you know about a seed swap that will take place at the Library on January 29th, which is National Seed Swap Day. In addition to the seed swap, Deena Trimble will also talk about winter sowing and seed starting. Today we will also hear from Deena about her seed saving, swapping, and growing.
