We've challenged Grow This Throwdown participants to start seed libraries in their communities. For an idea of what that could look like, let's take a trip to the Bridgeport Public Library and find out how their seed library works.

Great information!!
I thought home canned food was good for much longer than a year
It is
It is
Thanks, I was gonna throw them away 😂 I wish the colour was less danger coded thou
This is a wonderful idea! It would also be a good idea to have programs about seed saving so that people know what kinds of seeds can be saved and expected to produce the same results in the following season (hint, not all seeds will). In addition they could learn about the proper methods of collection, preservation and storage. I think this is a tremendous way to teach about the need for plant diversity and the importance that the people who have saved seeds over generations have had on the ability of humans to survive and thrive. Congratulations for developing such a fun and exciting addition to our libraries!
Great video. You need more views
I WANT to try canning but as a child I remember how my granny would make us leave the room. I still remember her seeming sense of worry. Maybe someday I can get over this fear.
Is there different types of popcorn ? I wonder, the popcorn this year seems to be very dry and tough after you pop it. My brother said the same thing,he orders his popcorn from a different place, rather than here in Canada. Is there different grades of popcorn ? and which areas grow the best popcorn ? You seem to be very knowledgeable on corns, so maybe you know the answer ? Maybe it could also be the soil it was grown in, the region, or weather ? Any idea Really enjoyed your video, and it looks like you really love growing it.
Seven is carcinogenic.
Mumina ♥️ I hope you have a lovely day and the rest of the family are you and I don't u want y and the u in the other room I have to do it now

Anyone know which seeds are coming this year? I can't remember if they said and my volume isn't working.
Ty for my seeds 🎉
Loved the behind the scenes look at all the time, and work involved with shipping out the seeds. It gives me an even greater appreciation for the seeds that I received. 💖
Received mine thank you
My biggest issue with seed starting is when the cat knocks them off the shelf :/ Off to my grandpa’s house this weekend to use his setup instead. Thank you for the lesson.
How we going to garden if we stuck on FB all the time😂
My sons asked me where popcorn came from and we watched your video. It was a great family moment for us. Well done.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it!

You don’t have to! We launched the Grow This Throwdown this year so that counties can compete against each other for grant funding. You’re more than welcome to participate in challenges or you can just grow your crops and enjoy them that way.
