Title: Offered: Sharks fin squash seeds
Post by: Deb P on October 15, 2008, 13:21:36
Last year, I grew some huge Sharks Fin squashes from seed given to me by my Chinese friend Lee. I sent out some of my own saved seeds on swops earlier this year,  but they were not quite as dark as the seeds I had sown, and one person reported germination problems.

I didn't grow them myself this year (no room!) but Lee has given me another of last years squashes, and the seeds of this one are very dark again, so hopefully they should be the same as the ones I grew before. They are drying out now, and I have about 100 seeds, so if anyone would like some, please PM me and I'll  post 10 seeds to you when they are fully dried out. Not fussed about getting anything swapped in return, but I'm always partial to an unusual tomato or chilli if you have any! ;D

Right, I now have 15 takers, which is the maximum I think I can give out with the seed I have , so I'm afraid this offer is closed from now. ;D

Hi, i havent been on here for ages just popping in from time to time , and managed to miss this.  >:(
Do you happen to have one or two left that i could try?? I tried to grow some this year but none germinated, which was probably just as well as my manure didnt arrive so i ended up with tiny plants and fruit. I got one pumpkin (fairytale from jeanine, thank you) 1 kg and 54 cms round, about 3 courgettes and 2 marrows from 10 different plants  :-[
next year lots and lots of manure.
Thanks Laura
