Post by: levens on January 31, 2008, 07:49:45
hiya, I'm a newbie and were wondering if any folks are from Birmingham?, as it could make it easier to swap on location I guess...any thoughts?

I was in school when it threw it down. Not a very nice day though.

cool!...I'm in kings heath...work in town...*waves at five ways*don't think I have much in the way of swops yet...have yet to go through my seeds...as I may be moving I may have to donate plants to a good home... :'(...I also have some tall grass that is great as weed control and to break up ground,  that grows like the clappers in summer till the first frost...it's easy to uproot but you would need to get all of it like most grasses.... :o

Hi, I live in Solihull so not far. I've not done a seed swap before. I've bought LOADS of packets of seeds this year and hope that I'll get to the point soon where I've also got plants to pass on.
I think i've overdone the seed potatoes - have got around 50 each of Maris Piper and Desiree. If anyone is wants to mix up their varieties, get in touch!

Hi, Becky, I've found the site all by myself!! 

For everyone else, I am a Handsworth allotmenteer, but spend a lot of time in Kings Heath (Kitchen Garden Cafe mostly!).

DD and I bought seeds this afternoon (she chooses, I plant/tend etc) so I'm sure there will be some to swap.

Great to see you on here Katisha.

We were discussing earlier the possibility of having a swap in Solihull, combined with freecyclers. I've set up another thread for this. If you'd be interested in coming along, please reply to the other thread.
