   Grushovka
   Vine:
   Galina
   Purple Calabash
French Beans:
Dwarf:
   Brittle Beurre
   Purple King
Climbing:

Would like:

All seeds offered were bought end 2007, with the exception of the Purple Calabash, which is a few years older but I still used with success last year.

Best wishes to all,
Sue

I can offer you seed of Onopordon acanthium - a giant thistle - takes about two years to mature and with silvery foliage is rather attractive (though not remotely child friendly).  A great architectural plant though.

Don't require anything in exchange.
