Topic: Want to swap something to get cardoon!

[westsussexlottie]

Looking for cardoon seeds (only need a few)- have variety of other seeds for swap if you are interested. This is for a school project for "growing tallest vegetable"!!!!

Thanks.

Hi, I've got some you can have. I bought them this year and there are loads in the packet. I've sown some but they are VERY large plants so don't really need these. And Ive still got lots left!!  ::)
As for swaps, I don't really need any more veg but might be interested in any unusual flowers you might have??!!
Pm me with your details so I can send the cardoon seeds.

Faster than it would have taken me to drive to the garden centre (which doesn't sell cardoons)....
!!!!!

Thanks again.

Fleur here's a pic of the cardoon seeds I sowed on 18th March.
Looking good don't you think?

Cardoon seeds were free with Garden News recently I had never heard of it before then. I can`t find that particular copy.

Mine were not free  seeds but I bought them from the organic gardening co - I still have some left if anyone wants any.  ;D

Your "seedlings"!!! look fantastic.

Thanks again.

Hi Terri

Do you think they'd grow OK in Scotland? I've grown them in Kent, but only recently moved to a new area + still getting to grips with new climate (+ pests!!!).

If you think they would, I'd love some.

PM me the kind of flowers you're after/like + we'll see what we can do!

[wattapain]

Diana, I've no idea as I have never grown them before myself, but our lottie neighbour grew them last year so thought we'd have a go. there's only one way to find out as they say so go for it. Pm me your details & I'll send them. Now re swaps - well I don't really know what I want till I see it ( sounds familiar to all you gals out there - yes?)
So tell me what you're offering.
But as I told Fleur I DO NOT really need ANY more seeds!! ;D 8)
Terri ;D

Thanks Terri

PM on way

Excited boy planted cardoon seeds today. He said he thinks his teacher won't know what it is.  I guess if they don't sell it in Tesco.....

Thanks again Terri - I will keep all updated with their progress.
