As a swapping virgin, i got them all out on the table this afternoon in my excitement. Plus i thought I'd have a look before OH got home ( he's banned me from looking at tomato seeds) There is some great stuff in the package, and as a seed addicted it was fantastic ;D ;D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Chilli and Tomato seed swap
Post by: plot51A on November 19, 2009, 15:30:32
Parcel has landed safely. What a treat - spoilt for choice, I'm actually only interested in the tomatoes but there look to be some great chillis too. Next destination is Frank Spencers other half ............. hopefully will be sent tomorrow, if not it will definitely go Monday.
Title: Re: Chilli and Tomato seed swap
Post by: Squash64 on November 21, 2009, 10:52:24
Wow - what a fantastic selection of seeds!
I'm only interested in the chillies, but whoever wants tomatoes is in for a treat too.
I'm glad it's arrived on a Saturday because that gives me a whole day tomorrow to be really Anorakky and look up all the varieties before I decide which to have.
I'll post it on Monday to............
somewhere north of the border.  Can't do crypic clues, sorry!

Thank you so much Dawn for organising this.  I just showed my husband and he thought it was such a brilliant idea.

You can, however you'd probably need to supplement their light to stop them getting 'leggy'.  My seedlings are on a desk in my office and get light from a daylight balanced (6400K or thereabouts) bulb while I'm working; as it's so grey at the moment the lamp is on most of the day.

I've only started varieties that appreciate a long season, some are already reaching triffid like proportions; threatening to outgrow their three inch pots. :o I'm hoping I can contain them until New Year...

Deb, thanks for the info.  ;D

Post by: Tinkie_Bear on December 22, 2009, 16:08:41
I should have posted yesterday to leave a clue about where the parcel is heading but my brain checked out some time ago! 

All I can think to say about the next location is

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS STREET :-) 

Hopefully it will mean something to the person on the receiving end, but only if she's seen the film ....

Merry Christmas and thank you to you all.
