Thanks for giving your time to do this for us Jayb
God made rainy days so gardeners could get the housework done

 ;D Not drawn yet, just into the hat along with Luckycharlie and Brown thumb.

Stopp thank you, a lovely thought to donate some seeds to the swap  :) But why don't you join in anyway, you can still donate the seeds and you might just spot what you are after  ;D

Aden R, you are welcome to watch, but you might find it more fun to join in?

Thank you Pansy, nice to see a new name joining in  :)

Any one interested in a few flower seeds too?

I've some gorgeous solid purple and purple and white lupins seeds I've saved (not sure if they will breed true, hopefully purples though) no other lupins in the garden

Also a gorgeous red poppy, it was a real treat this year and the only one in my garden flowering at the time, but you never know where those bees have been!

I am rubbish at growing flowers but next year I am going to try to grow Laurentia - got a packet of blue "avant garde" from the evil empire - and more poppies.  I was given a packet of Shirley Poppies from an Aldi multipack and they were a lovely mix of singles and doubles.  Although bees aren't supposed to go for the doubles, every one seemed to have a bee's bum sticking out of it whenever I looked.

So in summary, YES!

I am so very tempted especially having seen those beautiful lupins and poppies!!  :)

I am a carer for two elderly people so spare time is pretty scarce and I don't want to let anyone down... but I'm pretty sure I have some spare seed that might interest someone. I'll make an effort to sort through my boxes and get back to you asp.

My hand is half up for now but please don't delay on my account.

Looks very exciting  ;D


grannyjanny

If spare I would love a few purple lupin seeds please ;D.

Now that you mentioned about flowers..I've got tons of poppy heads in allotment..those pink frilly ones in my avatar... ;D..I could go and collect some if anybody is in 'need'.

Is it only seeds, I have echinacea (cone flower) roots and some sweet cicely, red and white bleeding heart..maybe I should start another thread as they will be spring :)

I'm going to keep watching.... so, thanks very much Jayb but I don't want to hold everyone up, so this time round it's a "would love to but won't"

Thank you.  :)


Enjoy yourselves everyone....... what a lovely idea!!!

Jayb

Great I'll take that as a yes for flowers too  ;D
Your poppies sound beautiful G'life, yes get some saved, 'Goodies Pink Poppies' could be swapped for years to come  :)

They sound super Manics, but I think roots unless dormant and easily stored/transported could be problamatic. I think as you say another thread for them may be better.

Aden thanks for being so thoughtful, please jump in if you find you are able  :)

...when do we start.. ;D ;D
Do we want/need/should put something here for everybody to see about the seeds what we offer.. ???
Would anybody be interested small=tiny garlic cloves..Polish hardneck? They are only first year cloves..grown from the pips..size of a french bean seed.
So they will take another couple of year before you would get normal size bulbs.
I just thought to offer as you find it hard to find them over here..???

Jayb

Nearly there,  list has taken longer than I thought,  but we will be starting some time over the weekend  ;D

I thought it might be more interesting and fun for people to see what was coming in and going out. You don't like the idea?
