Hi Georgie

Is the Polemonium boreale the dwarf one ?  If so I'd love to try some as I really like the common Jacob's Ladder.

Do you like Cosmos ? I've just bought some seeds of a new double variety if you fancy those as a swap ?   :)

Hi Di.  Yes, it's about 12" - a very compact little plant with a long blooming period.  I don't know much about Cosmos - except that I wouldn't like the chocolate scented variety.  But otherwise I'd love to give it a go - I only need a very small amount of seed, though.  Many thanks.  Can you PM me your details and I'll post the Polemonium.

Can I just recommend someone snags the borage. It's a companion plant for beans so worth having.
Title: Re: Seed sort out
Post by: Georgie on December 07, 2005, 20:24:16
Hi Rob, glad you got them and I wish you luck.  I sowed mine on 14/11 and they are in the fridge.  It looks as though something is happening so fingers crossed.   ;D

Hi DJ and Wardy.  I can't understand why the Borage hasn't been snapped up.  Perhaps we are preaching tothe converted?   ;)

Hi Georgie

I would love some fennel.  My OH keeps saying he wants to try it.  All I have to swap is some Tromba seeds.  I haven't grown them myself but our Italian neighbour gave us loads of fruit in the summer and I just can't help keeping the seeds.  I will be growing them next year as they are yummy

Thanks

Hi Looby Loo.  PM your details and I'll send you the Fennel seeds.  Thanks for the offer of the Tromba seeds but I simply don't have have the room to grow them.

Hi Flowerlady.  The Morning Glory is a magenta pink with a white centre and the splits between the petals give the flowers an unusual star shape.  Are you tempted?

Hi Gunnerbee.  Happy to send you the Gardeners Delight if you PM me your details.
