Title: Artichoke slips wanted…lots to swap!!!
Post by: Truffle on December 14, 2006, 15:49:53
Hi Everyone,

I’ve wanted to grow artichoke for years now. I tried some from seed this year but they all got eaten!

Does anyone have any slips that they would like to swop for any of the following:

•   Garlic- several varieties
•   Strawberry sweetcorn
•   Asparagus pea- not great to eat but very attractive ground cover, defiantly growing again this year!
•   Range of heirloom tomato varieties
•   Vietnamese coriander cuttings
•   Range of ‘regular seeds’, ie runner/broad beans etc…
•   Any thing else, you name it and I’ll look in my collection for it!

Many thanks :),

Saddad- Yep, really I’m after the Globe artichoke. What were you after from the list? Pm me and I’ll see what I can send you…

Supersrpout- Fantastic!! ;D Thank you very much! Unfortunately I’m a 3.5hr drive from Peterborough but I can cover the postage costs, what would you like in return?

Many many thanks :),

Thanks for the offer Truffle but I think it would be grounds for divorce if I got even one more heritage tom...
