When growing a garden, you will most likely have plants which will need thinned out each year. By attending a plant swap, you can trade out your extra plants & seed for others you may like to acquire.
I found a very intersting woman in Nova Ohio who has begun holding an annual plant swap & heirloom seed sale. Her farm is called "Harvest Thyme". A woman after my own heart with her love of heirlooms. She shares some very intersting information pertaining to how and why she grows exclusively Heirloom variety produce during our visit to her plant swap.
The day was very windy, a few minutes of pea size hail came down and the chill made us regret not bringing gloves. Our late Spring visit was a bit too early to see her crops growing in the field. Later in the year we hope to visit again when Dawn will share more on how to properly save seed and give us a glimpse of her abundant fields.
As always, the split second editing on my computer is not the best. There are hiccups but none the less, enjoy the video. I hope you feel inspired to find local Plant & seed swaps in your area. Bring a gardening friend as I did and be sure to read up plant swap etiquette.

Tammie,
AMAZING VIDEO! This is my favorite so far! Really nice interview, really good information inserts. Made everything really clear and understandable.
Thanks for your hard work!

Dawn and yourself seemed to really 'click' Tammie! A keeper friend for sure! Thanks for this video (loved the horseradish part especially)
Gardens just starting over here , due to so much frosty nights.

Thank you Beth. I am still having great frustration with the editing. During the process, I "split" the scenes at the exact fraction of a second and then when it is "published" to my computer, it is off on timing. That goes the same with inserting the banners or other writing on clips. I worked 14 hours on this video, trying to get it right but finally had to just come to the conclusion it was not going to work out how i want. Something about my computer is just "off" when doing these things. I am bringing our other laptop my baby brother gave to us for the kids to use and will upload all my footage of our next destination into it. It's an entire weekend in Southern Kentucky with a 5 generation Homestead. Super stoked to get there. I will try editing fooatge in that laptop to see if it makes a difference this next time around. I became so frustrated, I was editing in my dreams. LOL.
Thank you again for your kind comment. I can not wait to start the next one!
Frannie~ Dawn was awesome. I was working on 3 hours sleep and add in the 40 some degree weather I was barely standing. I really do laugh alot like that. LOL. And I really can be that air headed. :)
I guess it just adds to the "Unusual" in Unusual farm Chick. :O
Great, informative video! Way to go Dawn!
Tammie - you will have to let me know which grape vine it was you ended up with! I planted my peony right outside my bedroom window and cannot wait for it to bloom! I will send you a picture once it does :)

Tammie,
Have you tried some google searches for problems with editing? I'm sure you have but sometimes you can get some really good tips.
You really can't tell that you are having problems because it's really good. If it was too perfect it would maybe be too slick and not farmchickish enough. I like it not perfectly perfect.
