oh Caroline I don't think it's safe to use your address for the world to see. You can modify your message if you want to remove it! I'll pm you my address.
Whoops!
Thought I was answering a PM there for a moment :o :o :o
Thanks for removing me ;D
Sounds like an excuse, but fell off my bike and banged my head about 2 weeks ago and am still a bit 'dippy' ??? Went out and bought a helmet next day, but a bit like shutting stable door after horse has bolted :-[
Will try to be more careful....honestly ;D

Are calendula the same as marigold? I've got an unopened packet of orange ones if you want them?
I'd love to try Pak Choi if you have any left.
cheers
The Pak Choi and Garlic Chives have gone.
Could I add a wanted to my list. I have heard of a herb Called Stevia, which is supposed to be really sweet, but with no caloiries ;D ;D
Here's hoping someone has a few of these seeds.

I'd love a few purple chilli seeds... what can I offer you in return?

Hello
all seeds gone now. Thanks to everyone who swapped. I hope the seeds grow and GROW ;D ;D

Just found a post saying there are standard amounts of seeds in a swap. My appologies for any small amounts that have been sent, but as I said, there were various amounts, some small. If anyone is unhappy with the amount they recieve, please contact me and I'll see if I have anything else you want.
Sorry again :-[
cj :)
I've probably put my foot in it again then, as I just send what I can spare!
:-\
so do i - woops
Oh good, so I'm not the only shady character on this forum then ;)

Hello Carolline
You mentioned that you wanted a "sweet herb" - have you heard of sweet cicely. It is a perennial so is really easy to have on the lottie. This herb was used in victorian days and planted next to the kitchen door to add sweetness to things like rhubarb etc. I have a couple of seeds if you would like to try them?
PM me is you are interested.

Fourth post down on this page.

I think that's because it's the pass-the-parcel scheme? Honestly, when we swap or give away on a one-to-one basis there's never been mention of minimum numbers....we're all happy to either get or give something we need or have a surplus of. Hope that clears things up for you :)
Swap what you can, but if you've only got half a dozen seeds to offer, say so so there are no misunderstandings. I think most people realise that.
Whenever I've swapped with anyone here we merely swap what we can spare. The whole point of swapping is to try something different that we might not ordinarily buy and see how we get on with it, if we like it etc. We don't expect to get loads and loads of seed to fill the lotty up!
The pass the parcel is different to general seed swapping.
I'm quite happy swapping small amounts. If something is really good, I can save the seeds for next year anyway. I 'm glad everyone feels the same, as I was feeling guilty for sometimes only sending small amounts.
cj :)
the thing is sometimes you dont need a lot.
Like peas and beans you just need 3 or 4 to get a plant up and running then you save as much seed as you want for the year after.
Also, if I have half a dozen people responding to an offer for one type of seed, I try to give everyone some, so the quantities might be smaller.
cj, I wouldn't worry - apart from the odd rogue, we all know we mean well! Now, if you'll just send all your seeds to me, I'll be happy to take the burden from you...
...oh well, worth a try... ;) ;D
