Title: Chilli seeds.
Post by: twang20 on March 25, 2009, 20:08:05
Hi everyone, Now that i've planted all my chilli seeds for this season I thought i'd put the remaining ones up for offer before it's too late to plant them. I dont intend on going crazy again next year so im willing to swap or give away any of the 200 varieties I seem to have collected. I have a bit of everything (too many to list) including 10 Habanero varieties, loads of the superhot types, a few wild varieties and most of the nice and versatile culinary peppers.
I dont want to swap for anything specific, but any veg seeds would be much appreciated if you have anything you can recommend. Otherwise I dont mind giving away a few freebies :)

Hi Twang20,

i'd be interested in some different chilis - i'm more interested in unusual shapes and colours then heat.

what veg are you after?

Cheers RT

Hello, that was quick. I can send you a good mixture of unusual shaped and coloured types if you like.
I wouldn't mind some runner bean seeds as I planted mine out too early and the cold has got to them, but anything that can be sown now really, im easy :)
If you PM your address I can get the chilli seeds posted soon.

I can send you some seeds of 7 Pot, Trinidad Scorpion, Red Savina, and similar if you like.
Is it the right time to start onions from seed, I would like some of them, or maybe some Peas?

Post by: saddad on March 26, 2009, 12:10:41
PM is a personal message... click on the name of the person in the thread. That will take you to a page and Send personal message is one of the options.. allows you to send addys without everyone seeing them...  :)

Well thats an overwhelming response. Thanks for all your offers everyone, I just wanted to drop a quick message to try and slow things down a bit.
I will sort through my seeds tonight and get all the packages ready to post out at the weekend, I want to make sure that I honour my promises to all the people that have asked so far before I agree any more swaps. So I will put a post at the weekend when I have a better idea of what I have remainning in my seed box. Anyone who has already posted a request, consider it done. But any new requests, could I just have a few days to get things organised. :)
Thankyou.

Whoops, I didn't realise I had to empty the inbox. Sorry guys, I guess im still a newbie.

Luap- Youre welcome to any seeds you'd like, if you send me your address i'll post a mixture of superhots. I don't suppose you have some seeds for Purple sprouting Broccoli or something similar? as I was about to buy some online.

Im amassing quite a collection now thanks to some very generous people ;D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!  I have purple sprouting broccoli - it's about the only thing I have that I could have swopped with you :bangshead:   

Are there any other veg seeds you need?  I don't have much (just starting out)  but I have tomatoes, courgettes, herbs (basil, chives, corriander, parsley), broccoli (which you'll probably now have)

I'm not doing chillis this year asI've got plenty left from last year, but I've got Jalapeno and Cayenne seed from last year if anyone would like some. I'm going away for a couple of days at lunchtime but if you PM with your address I'll get them off as soon as I can.
