Salsify Seeds Anyone?

[katholicos]

Hello there, i've been a member for a while but i think this is my first post!  Just wondering if anyone has any salsify seeds to swap. I have a variety of seeds to offer in exchange, take your pick from tomato, parsnip, gherkin, carrot, sweetcorn or radish, borlotto, runner beans, mixed salad leaves, little gem lettuce..and i can't remember any more of the top  of my head, so ask me if you want to swap for something else and i will see if i have got it.

Thanks!

Careful... it's a terrible if pretty weed... I will have plenty of fresh seed next week as they are in flower now. Scorzonera will be in flower in a couple of weeks. I find the fresher the seed the better the germination so allow some to seed..  :-X

OOh Saddad - any extras going of either of those? I tried salsify last year and none germinated - would like to try again!

I have a fresh packet of scorzonera that you can have (ca. 40 seeds).  My salsify is well and truly up but I never got round to planting the scorz.

PM your addresses if you want the seed and I'll split the packet for you both

First time growing for me.... are they more or less the same in appearance except salsify is white and scorzonera is black.
