Wondered If any of you want some seeds
Ooh yeh Biscombe - they sound great. Am pm-ing you now...
I would like some please. What would you like in return
if any spare would love to give em a try!
Got your PM's folks, I'll share them and send them when they are dry, may as well pop your chili seeds inthere too Emmy
Hi B :D they look fantastic, my tom crop this year is yet another disaster !!! >:( ... if you have any left ... I'll swap you a pepper or something ::)
;D Flo x
No returns necessary I'll let you know when they are dried
:-* :-* :-* :-* Thank you!
I wouldn't say no if there are any left.
Just drying them now, got loads, I'll just spilt them! just make sure I have your address
Yes please Rosie - hopefully they are blight resistant! I've just lost all my outdoor varieties to blight as have many other folk in the UK growing toms this year, due to the wet and weird 'summer' we've all had.
Have pm'd you my address again in case you've deleted it from your files.

Poor you :-[ well if it's any consolation they didn't get blossom end rot!
I hope they work out ok, keen to get this tomato saving trick right! I left the seeds to ferment then rinsed them and started drying them today, they ponged a bit so I'm soaking them overnight and will rinse again tomorrow and dry, Don't worry I'm still harvesting so If this batch doesn't work out I'll try again................ a first time tomato seed saver here!!
Yes please Rosie... I've been holding back as I already have too many varieties... :-X
No problem, I will assist your habit Saddad!! Far too easy to become a tomato seeds junkie!!
PS They seem to be drying out ok now!
OK so the following peeps are in the stripy stuffer club!! any more??

If there is still any spare I would like a few to try. Let me know what you would like in return.
thank you very much, cant wait to give em a try!
Biscombe ,
Have PM'd you.
I've never done more than lay the seeds out on kitchen paper to dry direct from the fruit, whether it be tomato, pepper, chilli, aubergine or squash and have always got good results.
Tricia
Rosie if you have some left ;) ;),bytheway you got a p.m.
No problem, seeds are looking really good, If you ferment them they look furry like the bought ones!! really pleased! will be sending early next week! make sure I have all you addresses
Brilliant Rosie. The blight took all the plants grown from seeds you sent me. Fingers crossed for better luck next year.
Tricia
oh no!! did any tomato plants survive?
OK all packed up and ready to post on monday, I've put about 20 or so seeds in each packet. Anyone else interested in some ofthese seeds you have until sunday night......
BTW heres a copy and paste from http://www.seeds-by-size.co.uk site
Striped Stuffer 5 seeds cost £2.00 10 seeds cost £4.00 25 seeds cost £7.00
Fruits are shaped like bell peppers & completely hollow. 5 to 7 oz. red fruits have
golden-orange stripes. A good yielder.
I'm in the wrong game!! how can they charge that amount of money! these toms are full of seeds, and really easy to save (I was worrying too much as usual!!)
As of today I have two Brandywine plants, one in GH one on patio which have about 7 fruit between them (most of the flowers just went brown and fell off). One Roma and one San Marzano 2, also in GH and not bearing as many fruit as in a normal year.
The only tomato I still have from you is the Rio Grande bush which I have in a tub on the patio. It has some fruit on it, but they are taking forever to ripen and there aren't that many anyway.
All in all, a very sad year for tomatoes :(. There are a couple of tiny aubergines and quite a few flowers on the three plants in the GH so I'm still hoping for something to harvest there. Sweet peppers - I have Gypsy fruiting well as is a Jumbo and a Californian Wonder. The Padron from you have flowers but as yet no fruit.

You're a STAR ;D
Thank you very much for the seeds, came today, Im'e like a big kid, can't wait to plant 4 seeds today! you must let me know what seed you want sent from Thailand when I go in Feb, have tried growing the yard long bean in uk but too cold here, maybe you would like to try?
Thank you Rosie :-*, Striped Stuffer just arrived. Delay probably due to our on-going Postal strike, though I suppose 4 days from Spain isn't too bad for our postal system. The Dutch obviously do things better - Ruud got his seeds in 2 days!
Let me know if there is anything you want from the UK.
Tricia
Yaaaaayyyyy :D :D :D :D :D
I have mail !!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
((((( thank you ))))) :-*
thankyou very much, seeds arrived yesterday! your a star!
Got them yesterday too... very professionally packed. :)
Glad the seeds got to you all!! hope they grow well for you :D
