Title: Red Onion Seed Wanted
Post by: MonsterMum on August 06, 2006, 18:44:32
Does anyone have any spare red onion seed?  I wanted to get some for overwintering (that's the hope) and I don't seem to be able to get any from anywhere.  If anyone has any that they can spare I would be most grateful.  I have loads that I can swap in return

Hi there merry tiller

If I could be so cheeky and ask if you have anymore red onions seeds availabe (not fussy which) for me to try out this year on my lottie. 

Have been told I will be receiving my new lottie in 4 to 6 weeks so cannot wait and am trying to make up a list of things I can still grow.  I will try and post my new swop list this evening to get in kinda early. ;D  So let me know if you want anything off it and its yours.  Thanks
