So, there is an idea afoot about a national cooperative gardening movement to exchange resources and grow more local food for food security. It seems to me that at some point that would need to be localized.

I live and garden about an hour north of Missoula near Ronan.

Thoughts on local cooperative gardening in this area?

I have a lot of sweet corn and winter squash seed.

I suppose I also have a lot of tomato seed. As well as the squash and corn seed.
