Crop Swap To deal with the tsunami of extra produce in Berkeley (“Want Some Figs?” Sept. 25), during the growing months, we have a once a week “crop swap.” You take your extra abundance, lay it out on tables and blankets, and then take a card from a pack of playing cards. When you start, aces get first dibs, then twos, etc. Once you’ve gone through, and everyone has had a chance to take one item/bunch, then it’s a free-for-all. Folks show up with fruit and veggies, but also eggs, honey, jams, fermented goodies, seeds and plant starts. It’s a great way to meet fellow gardeners, find a good home for surplus and get produce. Transition Berkeley organizes it. (And, yes, I would love some figs!)
