No all still welcome. I'll pm you my address, the instructions for the swap are back a bit on this thread.  :)

Thank you, I'll look at the instructions.

Tottered down to the post box this evening in high heels to catch the evening post pick up.  Normal wellie based service will be resumed tomorrow - working from home  :)

[thewoodle]

I am very sorry, but can I drop out, please... Am right in the middle of packing / moving and just know that I won't get it done. Sorry!

[Tin Shed]

Seeds sent in the post this morning!

[purple sprouting]

Can I join in please?   I can send some seeds tomorrow 1st Class .........  I'll understand if I'm too late.

PS

[Suzanne]

Purple sprouting - you are still okay to join and I will send you my address, but can you try and send seeds tomorrow or Monday as would hope to get seeds back to everyone by this time next week so still time to sow.

I recieved seeds from
Barking Dog
Squash63 and
Froglets today.

Tin sheds are on the way

I'll just check who is still sending seeds, brb

[Suzanne]

I think that leaves Twirlie, Dialeg and Purple Sprouting.

Looking at the selections sent and adding my own I think everyone should be happy with what they receive back - its a good mix.  ;D

[littlebabybird]

will i be able to save seeds?  do squash cross pollinate?

cant wait to get them going

Got Tin sheds today

[Suzanne]

LBB - depends on the squash type. They have different families, Jeannines the expert on this, but as far as I understand then C.pepo, C.moschato, C.maximo and  C.mixta are the main familires - there are others. if you grow one of each of these then they won't cross, but if you grow 2 of the same family the they will. So its a question of determining whether the squash you grow are in the same family.

[Suzanne]

Still haven't got dialeg, twirlies or Purple sproutings - I'll pm them to make sure they are still taking part.

[Suzanne]

Hi all

In the interests of allowing you all to sow in time to get a harvest I am sending the seed swap packages out tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy them

[Twirlie]

Hey all, big apologies.  I didn't have internet for a while.  Very sorry I didn't get any seeds of to you, but the ones I was sending which were self saved haven't germinated a all.  I really suck big time and am very sorry.  Twirlie :-[
