Wanted: 3 Picasso spuds

[SMP1704]

There aren't any potato days close by, so was wondering if any could pick up 3 of these at a fair or let me have have any of their spares.

I have a really big potato barrel - the size of a compost bin and would like to give these a go.

Would be happy to cover costs.

Thanks

No probs... pm me and I'll get them off on Monday, you aren't in Sweden are you? Someone is and I was wondering about phytosanitary ceertificates and all that.

Hey Saddad

They arrived this morning

Thanks for sharing ;D ;D

Will you PM and let me know what the costs are and do you have a PayPal account??

[saddad]

No I don't and no I won't, sent you small ones to keep the post down... they grow just the same! You don't have a spare pack of Purple Cape Cauli hanging around do you?
;D

Saddad,

About seed swapping within the EU, as far as I'm aware there is no requirement for phytosanitary certificates.

I haven't checked specifically about veg seeds, but my husband has purchased live aquarium plants from the UK and did check with authorities who said a certificate wasn't required for shipping plants between Sweden and an EU country. For the USA, Canada and Australia this is a different matter. The certificates required for this are often expensive and some places won't issue them. I believe that the UK has a list of plants that shouldn't be exported, mainly grasses if I recall correctly, as they can be invasive. It is for this reason that I don't bring seeds in or out of the EU.

Hope this helps. If you know more about this, please let me know.
