Allotments 4 All

HI Guys,

I bought an organic  'Onion Squash' from Waitrose before christmas and have harvested and dried the seeds.

If anyone would like a few to try ( no guarantees if they will come true to type but good chance if they have been commericaly harvested with other onion squashes )

"Onion Squash, so called for their shape and have a size and appearance not too dissimilar to Buttercup Squash. They are best roasted and seasoned to tease out their earthy and nutty flavour"

Hi would love to try some please as fancy having a go at the 3 sisters as suggested on friday night

have got beans and sweetcorn but no squash

thanks (fingers cross you can send some)
;D ??? ;D

If you have a couple left may I have them please Louise? What would you like in return? Thought I'd have a go at 3 sisters too as my space is going to be limited. Brill idea I thought. ;D

PM me your details :-)

Hi All,

Last lot of seeds will be in the post tomorrow so you should have them very soon.

I still have a little more if anyone wants some?

Hi Louise,

I wouldn't mind trying a couple if you have any to spare still, is there anything you need in return and do you still have my address?

Helen

hi

pm me your details as i dont keep them :)

Louise, your inbox is full, I will post my reply here to save typing it again ....

Hi Louise,

I don't have any seeds but I can root a couple of sprigs for you and post them, I have bog standard mint and some chocolate mint (not much culinary value but smells like after eights - I keep meaning to try it with ice cream)

I haven't checked the mint bucket for a while but assuming there is still some above ground I can start this off over the weekend if not I will do some when it starts growing again.

Let me know if this is of interest.

Helen

sorry its a little clearer :-)

The onion sqush arrived yesterday, thank you very much.

I have been out to the mint buckets and managed to break off a couple of good bit with roots for you, they will be in the post tomorrow (in a polly bag with a damp tissue) hopefully they will survive.  The bigger bit is the ordinary mint and the smaller bit is the chocolate one.

Hope they get to you safe and well

Helen

many thanks i am off tomorrow so i will get 2 pots and 2 labels

What I assume are your Onion Squash arrived today.... one seems to have lived up to its name in the post!
;D

Squash seeds arrived safely, thanks Louise. Will pm you what I've got to swap.

glad they arrived :)

I received 2 envelopes of onio squash seeds, thank you twice !  Would you like me to send some back or should I just grow them all and share the plants out?

Did the mint arrive safely?

Thanks again,

Helen
