Hello Citychick and Baby-boo-bah
I have sent you my pm's for a swop. Please let me have both your pm's and I will pop the seeds in the mail. Also if you could let me have instruction on sowing that would be great (on account that I am a bit of a dunce when it comes to veggies.
Will sort out this evening and get ready.
Thanks for the swop - lovely doing business with you both! The real reason why I am swopping so early this year is because I am away in SA during December and will miss out on all the lovely swops. So wanted to be prepared for the new planting season.
PS Either of you don't by any chance have any corn seeds and I will let you have some lovely white corn in January from you know where.
Regards

Corn... hmmm... yes... (http://www.cyberhounds.com/chickens/images/liplicker.gif) <scuttles off to seed box to check variety...>
How about some lark (http://www.unwinsdirect.co.uk/rkmain.asp?PAGEID=20670&STK_PROD_CODE=5020-0875) seeds?
I have a few corn seeds that I can send you.
You have to be careful when bringing corn seeds into this country. I was trying to get some sent here from America for another memeber and there are all sorts of regulations.
I think my sweetcorn is Lark - its gorgeous v Highly recommended!
