Title: Squash and pumpkin seeds wanted please
Post by: Paulines7 on December 15, 2005, 13:35:17
I would like to try growing squash and pumpkins next year and thought I would try a few varieties in different locations to avoid cross pollination.  Has anyone any spare seeds please?  One of the types I would like to grow is a yellow "Patty Pan" but would welcome any squash or pumpkin seeds.   I have already got "Yellow Crookneck" which Lorna kindly sent me.

In return, I can offer the following runner bean seeds:

Sunset .......salmon pink flowers

Lady Di ...... red flowers

Desiree.......white flowers

Please e-mail me if you are able to help.  Thank you.

Hi Pauline 7,

I got a load of seed from the 50 seeds for a tenner offer from Seedfest. It's an Americna firm I think so as well as some tomatoes I'd never heard of they sent me 6 packats of Pumpkin/squashes.

You can have some
Pumpkin Connecticut Fields
Pumpkin Cushaw Striped
Squash Saffron Prolific Straightneck
Squash Hubbard Blue
Squash Pink Banana
and
Summer Squash Yellow straightneck
if you want them, so can anybody else if they want some as well.

Just PM me

Not bothered about anything in return.

Hi Reedos

Thank you very much for your kind offer.  A few people contacted me earlier today with offers of seeds and I have now made arrangements for them to be sent to me.  If they all arrive safely, I will be growing 8 varieties of pumpkin and squash.  I have several veggie plots and a large compost heap so should just about be able to keep these 8 apart without risk of cross pollination.  I am sure someone else will be very pleased to have some of the surplus seeds that you have to offer.  Thank you once again.

Pauline

You do not get 2 packs of the same veriaty do you?

Like for example 2 packs of moneymaker tomatoes.

If not it sounds a tempting offer.

Hi SS,

No I didn't get any duplicates, there's a fair old selection, lots of lettuce, squash, tomatoes (unusual varieties), some carrots, beets, cucumbers peppers, cabbages, cauli's. It's all random so you don't know what'll come but for a tenner I'm not complaining. The link is this if you are interested www.seedfest.co.uk/seeds-vegetable-deals.html (http://www.seedfest.co.uk/seeds-vegetable-deals.html)
