Hi markfield rover,
I think we'll go for all sorts of stuff this time and gardener's delight is very welcome!

I just want to ask everybody, please, if there is already a packet of gardener's delight with 400 seeds, this is enough for all of us, don't add more. Because I ended up with 4 packets of little gem and God knows how many packets of turnip/carrot and now it's difficult to rehome them! So, I know you have the best intentions, but also please be sensible, it's better to put a couple of seeds of unusual flower/veg/bean or something what you like yourself, instead of just padding it up.

[Jitterbug]

I Natasha

If still available I'll take lettuce - little gem, beetroot boltardy and carrot nantes.  Also add me to the next swap list please.

Many thanks

Jitterbug

Natasha

Thak you again for organising the seed swap. I am happy to rehome the carrots, beetroot, turnips and also the valencian onions if you have them. The famiy don't seem to be able to get enough of the root veg I grow, and if you have lots of seeds it doesn't matter if germination is a bit poorer due to older seeds.

Also I support your idea of just adding a couple of "sample" sized packet of seeds of either your favourites or something unusual.

Thanks
Suzanne  :)

[Lauren S]

Hi Natasha I'd really like any of the root veg please
Thank-You

[natasha]

Jitterbug, Suzanne and Lauren,
I knew someone should turn up for a bit of turnip/carrot and little gem. Thank you very much, I'll put everything you requested in the next round of pass the parcel with a note that it is for you.
Not much stuff left now, good!

These are still available:


rocket wild
onion late valencian (there is a lot!)
radicchio summer mixture
lettuce little gem (there is a lot!)
lettuce romana bionda
brussels sprouts Bedford Darkmar 21
brussels sprouts evesham special
chives
spring onion white lisbon
cabbage lombarda morada
cabbage greyhound

[Rosyred]

onion late valencian - what sort of onions are these?

[natasha]

I think late valencian came from Biscombe, the package looks Spanish, it is a bulbed variety and there is a lot in the package, so I was going to put it in the new pass the parcel anyway together with cabbage lombarda morada, which also looks Spanish and very yummy.

[natasha]

OK, I think I have to lock this topic now and start a new round of pass the parcell!
