Post by: manicscousers on January 01, 2010, 20:25:26
My daughter in law 'tidied up' for me after the baby's party, all my drying out tomato and pepper seed have gone, plus my yin yang beans, unfortunately we were out when she decided to clean for me..Saddad, i hope you and deb have some more of the fancy tomato and pepper plants for me in may  ???
anyone else get stuff 'cleared out' by non-gardeners?

Mal I don't have any fancy stuff so can't offer to replace but I do feel for you. It's the kind of thing my FIL used to do on a regular basis and Pete got so angry with him cos I ended up in tears. Anyway hugs coming your way.

Have you asked your daughter in law what she did with the seeds?  She may have put them somewhere else.   If she did throw them out she would then know that they were special /unusual seeds. 

I am sorry but I cannot help you with replacing the unusual seeds and beans that have been lost as mine are more run of the mill tomatoes, peppers and beans.

 :D I grew pomegranates from seed and they got thrown away in the winter by someone who was cleaning out the greenhouse who thought they where dead as no leaves on them. I was very cross ;D

if you would like Black Krim seed  pm me :) / shades x

Its great she cleared up for you just a shame about the seeds.

I had some fermenting cucumber seeds on the window sill for a few days over Christmas, which had to be saved a couple of times from well meaning visitors!

I've got quite a few types of toms and some peppers if I can help you restock :), I'll pm you
