I can offer Clear Pink Early (Russian bush, extremely early; it's been producing outdoors for a month or so now), Taxi (early, yellow, bush, tasty), Stupice (early, cordon, tasty) and Buckbee New 50 day (obviously won't produce in 50 days from seed outdoors in the UK, but it's early and nice. Cordon). More varieties to come when I've got some seed collected.
Hi Robert
I would love some Clear Pink Early, Taxi and some Stupice seeds if you have any still available. I'm afraid I don't have too many tomatoe seeds besides some Sungold that I am busy drying. Otherwise you can look at my list lower down on the swop board for anything that you might fancy.
Let me know if you want to swop.
Thanks
Jitterbug
PM me your address, I'll get them in the post.
Jitterbug, I'm afraid that Sungold is an F1 variety so it's not really worth saving the seeds from them :'(
Robert I'd love any bush varieties you can spare as I have discovered that tomatoes grow really well outside here in Edinburgh so thought bush varieties would be more maintenance free.
They probably are; if you're growing them outside, just treat everything as bush. PM me your address.
Hi Robert, Would love to swap, PM'd you some ideas, could I try all of the above seeds?? Sorry to be greedy but not grown any of them before.
Hello,
Could I have a few taxi seeds please, if you still have some spare. Let me know what you would like in return.
Thanks

Of course; PM me your address.
I've posted the tomato seed. I just hope everyone gets the right varieties, and gets enough seed; I had to delete so many PM's before Dan increased the limit that I was losing track. If anything doesn't arrive by the end of the week let me know.
thank you so much, i really appreciate it. x

Thanks Robert! They all arrived today for my birthday! ;D ;D ;D
Hello Robert,
If you still have stupice and Clear Pink I'd love some I have Whippersnapper and Potato leaf white saved so far this year but others to follow. I've always grown Fox Cherry as a cordon inside but I bet it would cope outdoors... heavy cropper and very large for a "Cherry"
I'll pm you...
Of course; I've got a batch to get in the post tomorrow.
Hi Robert,
Yourpack is ready for shipping out in the morning, will you let me know how the baby aloe vera's get on! I'm worried about them!!
Nobody would be daft enough to want yellow currant?... I once had a plant reach 6' in all directions and it still had 200 trusses of about ten toms on bonfire night... they split and drop when ripest... great indicator weed for planting out squash and so on... when the seedlings come through the soil is warm enough!!!
;D
I'll try anything once! I didn't get anything posted today as the computer was down and I couldn't access peoples' addresses. I'll get them off tomorrow.
Hopefully, everyone's seeds are now in the post. I'm a bit shaken after coming a cropper off a ladder this morning (the ladder needs repair, I don't), and I don't want to miss anyone. So if you don't get them, or get the wrong seeds, don't be embarassed to let me know.
OOOhhhhh Robert :o you ok?? no broken bones or bruises I hope, wishing you well
I'm OK now, thanks. I was quite badly bruised from landing on the ladder, which broke, but no bones broken.
hello robert,
:-[ i'm so sorry, just re-read this thread and realised i hadn't got back here to thank you for the seeds you sent, not only the ones i'd asked for, but extra ones too.
it was really kind of you, especially as you asked for nothing in return,

Hello Robert,
I hope you are OK after your fall, I once found out the hard way that ladders need securing!!
Anyway sorry to be a 'Johnnycomelately' but do you have any Tommie seeds left? Any type would do they all sound delicious.
Here's hopingly
Howard
Yes, I've got plenty. PM me your address.
thanks..tried to PM you but it said the box was full..could I just put my address on here?
what time of year do you plant them?
cheers
Hello Robert
I can give you the Tall Mix Delph and the Echinacea Purpurea Magnus and the Himalayan Poppy. The Meconopsis Bet and Cambrica is not fresh - do you still want to try some. Let me know. I have already got some of your early pink, stupice and taxi. Let me know what others will be coming soon.
Please let me have your pm and I will pop your seed in the mail.
Jitterbug
Robert , still can't PM you. I think that the system is broken. Wonder if I could put my email address on here..What'd you think?
cheers
If you click on the printer symbol by my name, you can Email me.
It won't let me..no printer..in your profile it says 'email hidden'
If you could mail me I would really appreciate it.

Hi Robert (by the way your PM box is full!)
Firstly thank you for the tomato seeds you sent me a while back. I sent you some seeds in return and hope they arrived safely. I have just been looking up info on the varieties I grew this year and I think I may have got the identity wrong on the seeds I sent you. It was so long ago now that I can't even remember what I sent you!
Anyhow, the problem was that I got the plants from someone at work, and the labels got lost so I was guessing which was which! I think the ones I thought were 'Sub arctic plenty' are in fact 'polar baby', and what I thought was 'polar baby' was in fact 'Sub arctic plenty', although I'm still not 100% sure! The other one I grew was 'Red Robin'. So at least the seeds I sent are one of the three!
Sorry for the mix up!
Sweet pea
I did get the seeds, thanks. I'll write a note for myself, and see what comes up. My PM box isn't full, it's just misbehaving.
Have you recovered from all your mishaps?
do you still have any seeds?
cheers
More or less. I do have seeds; thanks for the reminder. I should be able to get something sorted this week.
thank you
I haven't forgotten your request Rob, just been busy... you are still in my inbox! Will get roud to it soon...
David
OK, thanks. I know what you mean about busy; I started a new job two weeks ago, at no notice, and it's been totally hectic.
I had considerable bruises, but I'm OK now, thanks.
Received the seeds today..Thanks..
One variety was called 'Prima' can you tell me a little about them please?
Not as early as Clear Pink Early, but one of the earlier ones. Bush, originating in Hungary, nice solid medium-sized tomato. I had loads off it this year.
Hi robert how did the toms perform for you last summer,i hope they did well.I got some new varieties if you are intrested i will hear it from you okee.
Some did brilliantly, other didn't do much. Clear Pink Early, Taxi and Prima were far and away the best outside; Stupice and Buckbee would probably have been as good if I'd planted more. I'm hoping to get a greenhouse up over the winter, and try Black Seaman again; it's a superb tom, but too late for outdoors, and I had a lot of trouble with splitting when the rain started.
If you've got any more early ones, I'd love to try them. You never know, some of these might catch on more widely over here; they deserve to.
when would you plant these early ones? (in a greenhouse)
I don't have a greenhouse, but I'd probably do the same as I do for outdoor growing, and start them in March, indoors. They go out in the mini-greenhouse once we get some spring-like weather in April, till late May or early June, when I'd expect to see the ones in the greenhouse getting ahead of the ones outside. If we get another hot summer, watch the ventilation. My Texan friends have confirmed that they don't like temperatures over about 75 F, and soon stop flowering.
