Seed sharing circle 2011

[SueK]

Running a bit late, but just to let you know  that mine arrived safely yesterday!!  :D
Hard to know what to say other than doesn't it show what we can do when we work together?  Thank you everyone for being so supportive as the year progressed and thank you especially to jayb for taking on a such a responsibility. :)
And I hope that AJ won't mind me commenting that I really enjoyed her remarks about this year's efforts in her blog as well.   :)

Suddenly, it seems as though spring isn't that far away after all!
all.

I found mine on the door mat when I got home yesterday evening but couldnt open them until I had settled in and fed my son. It was torture having to wait!

Its my first seed share (bar the squash one) and I cant believe how good the package is.  Thanks everyone and thanks Jayb for organising it and for all your hard work.

Having spread the packets out over the table I love the variety in the packets and feel your pain to all those that made their own.  I just havent got the patience to do that.

Merry Christmas all  :)

Already in. :D

I might do a blog just about the seeds in this circle......grow them all and document the trials, tribulation, elations and yield.

I've planted my bulbils already. Shove them in pots, and let them get on with it; they'll be fine.

Yay, mine arrived too. Thank you Jayb and all.

I already know I'm not going to manage growing all the tomatoes, peas and CFBs, but otherwise I'll try.

I'm quite lucky as I grow in about 8 different places; what with the schools and all. So I'll be doing my usual sow the lot, keep the best for me and share the rest out amongst them.

Just potted up my Babbington Leeks and left them in the unheated conservatory.Next job is the Walking onions.

[Jayb]

That is my job tomorrow  ;D

[Jayb]

I've finally had a chance to have a good look though both my seed swap selections. Fantastic, so many wonderful varieties ;D

[aj]

It will bulk up in time!

[galina]

I have spring cabbage (Durham Early) and sorrel (Belleville) and I'll also add lovage seeds, all packed and ready to be sent. No pictures, sorry, my laptop broke.

Martin, what a super way of folding seed envelopes.  Just spent a little time figuring it out.  Like it!  You can start off with any size of rectangular paper.  My way needs to be started off with squares and paper as a rule does not come as squares, so I need to measure and cut to start with, which takes longer  ;D

Onions and leeks done what do people suggest next and when?
