Title: seed swap lucky dip
Post by: alexE on December 12, 2011, 13:33:45
let's see if you're up for this.

I've just been through my seed collection and picked out a packet of seeds that i brought last year but didn't get round to planting.

I'm not going to say what they are but if you want them pm me your address.

the rules of the swap are if you recieve the seeds you post what you got and then do the same, ie. look through your seed collection, let us know when you've picked a pack of seeds but don't tell what they are and post them to the first person who messages you their address and so on and so on

hopefully we'll get some things we wouldn't have tried normally.

I remember motorcycling in Cornwall in the gales; it was sometimes as much as I could do to stay on the road.

Thank you brown thumb lovely surprise, and I really don't have any Hispi cabbage so looking forward to trying it this year.  Now lets hope there is some one else out there that would also like a surprise. 

Does it have to be Vegetables or are flower seeds also acceptable?

Anyway any one that would enjoy a  'lucky dip' swap e-mail me and I will post -  forth with! - new year lets get growing!!!

Thankyou Brown thumb That's a surprise I wasn't expecting. It'll be good to try a new carrot fly resistant carrot, nothing else is an option around here. ::) I'll get my seed box out tomorrow so a surprise should arrive early next week.  ;)
