Hi, I am cutting down on my winter squash seeds, they are from 2008 but I still using them no problems, I anyone is interested I will post a list,
XX Jeannine
Please don't PM me about seeds now,I only want to know if anyone is interested in having older seeds and I don't want to type a list if not.
I can't help you with a PM till I know, then I will post a list and ask you to PM then at that time.
Please post here if you are interested in alist.
I don't want anything in return.
XX Jeannine
Yes please Jeannine!
Tricia

Yes please, Jeannine. :)
Yes please Jeannine. Is there anything that you want out there?
I don't want anything in return Thank yiu X Jeannine

Yes please.
Neil

Yes I am interested - ditto on refunding postage.
Perhaps Jeannine could send one of us one big pack with instructions on how to divvy it up, that was shes not paying loads of postage.
please see PM sorry for length of it :-[
Looks like a lot of interest ;D and I have to say I'd love to see your list. I think I already have as many as I can do justice, but you just never do know!
Brown owl you are right, I was going to send one parcel with everyones chosen choices clearly marked with their names to one person rather than send out loads of envelopes from here, suggesting that folk then sent a sae to claim their seeds to the person receiving the package.
I also have some eggplants, tons of melons, brassicas, some roots, tomatoes, gourds and probably more.
I need to cut down my seeds and you guys might as wel have them, but bear in mind some are older..I don't want any probs further down the line, I am not Thompson and Morgan LOL
So list will stretch to other veggies....
I will leave it another couple of days to see what else folks might be interestd in.
I am trying to keep it as little a job as I can so don't be afraid to show interest in more than one or two.
Don't PM me yet ;D ;D

Please check what type they are and bear in mind that they are from a US seedsman so some will be long season.Also that I grew for decoration as well as food so although all are very edible, that was not always a priority in my collection.
Some I have lots of some only a few spare.
If you want any of the above, please PM your full name and address now !!. ;D
When a variety runs out I will post here.
I will TRY to send 8/10 of your choice.
If there is a lot of requests I will post the entire lot to someone in the UK, to claim your seeds that will have your name on, you will need to send a SAE to the person who it goes to. I don't want that kind soul to have to pay out all the postage.
Thank you for those who have asked but I don't need anything in return.
I will be posting more as I sort them out.

Had you just got up or waiting to go to bed, I've never known you to make so many errors ;D
Neil
I was in too much pain to lay down although very tired and light headed due to meds,happens sometimes, so I didn't go to bed at all last night . I sat up and sorted seeds in a recliner.
I really excelled myself, however I did get the PM so did something right.
XX Jeannine
Jeannine..those two seed companies you mentioned..superseeds and rareseeds..did you order from them when you were still in UK?
Yes, all the time, and many others did on my recommendation. Better known as Pinetree and Cedar Creek.
Jere Kettle who runs Cedar Creek only charged $3 a parcel for shipping even to the UK unless of course you bought really heavy stuff like lots of beans, but for regular seeds it goes for that. You get a freebie too and he is very speedy. I got a $5 bill in my parcel once because he was out of a seed I had ordered that was $3. He has a forum too!! Interesting history.
So what are you going to buy!!!
Another good one is Two Wings Farm, not big but have some interesting stuff.
Westcoast seeds is my local here, only keep seeds that grow in this area which is much like the UK.Postage is higher though.
Tomato Growers Supply.. is a great site for toms. aubs, peppers.They have a flat rate for postage too. A couple of years ago a group of us from A4A did a parcel together.
Sandhill Preservation Society is a cool site ..they have chooks too but not for airmail to the UK. They are slow though.
Tatianas Tomatoes if you don't already know it is a dream of a site, 10 minutes drive from me.Her database is excellent.
Too much info???
There are more ;D
XX Jeannine
Neil eye new wot she ment.
Thanks Jeannine - really generous of you to offer all these! I've sent you a pm.
Why do we feed each others addictions in such a kindly fashion...?! ;D
Jeannine - thanks to you I am now a pumpkin nutter ;D
I have three half plots and still have trouble fitting them all in together with everything else I grow - so of course I am about to send you a PM so I can try more varieties..........help ;D
Yes... :D another one hooked XX Jeannine ::)
will pm you tomorrow im a bit oo pished tonight ib=ve indulged in far too much wine and amarula and am beginning to regret it as I wan to lie down as I dont feel too good.
Should know better I cant take ,y alcohol since having the twins
Please add me, if you don't mind. Thanks
May
Thanks so much Jeannine :D I'm really excited by the lists, but it's going to take me some time deciding. Do you have a deadline for PMs?
Quote from: goodlife on June 18, 2010, 19:12:56
Jeannine..those two seed companies you mentioned..superseeds and rareseeds..did you order from them when you were still in UK?
I've ordered from rareseeds.com here in the UK no problem.
Early pea.. do you mean you have placed an order from the UK to rareseeds in the US.. or that you have ordered from a company in the UK called rareseeds ???
I have only heard of realseeds in the UK and rareseeds in the US.
Is there one I don't know about please :o
No not really a deadline as there are more seeds I have to offer yet so you are ok for some time but first come first served with what will bagged now. I will make a last chance post.
XX Jeannine
So what are you going to buy!!!
oh..hmm..just doing some "window shopping"...for now... ::)
I've already started to get some supplies for 'next year'.. ::)..as you do ;D..
But I wait for your parcel first...and see then what I "need" after that.. ::)
..like I'm short of anything really... ;D But it is just a bit of fun..choises choises.. ;D ;D
Jeannine - sorry, no new company to tempt you. I meant I bought seeds from the US company, rareseeds.com and had them sent to the UK.
Bump..I am starting to bag seeds.I have not been able to reply to all the e mails I have got..sorry.
I know many of you have sent messages that you are still looking varieties up.
I have requests WITH addresses from the following people.
JayB
Galina
Tricia
Tatty
TinShed
vjm 63
manicscowsers
Twoflowers
Stevens706
Spudbash
Lottiedolly
If your name is not on the list, it could because you probably didn't send an address WITH the list on the same PM.I keep the copies that A4A direct to my home e mail address in a folder to use and don't keep incomplete ones in there as it gets too unmanageable.Please assume I don't have your requests if not on this list.
I will be sending this parcel out by the end of June so if your are still looking, this is a last chance hint ;D
I will do my best to give everything they wanted, the list above is not in any order by the way.
I will confirm there are seeds for you of course when the packing is complete, there are a heck of a lot of seeds to pack so bear with me.
XX Jeannine
Morning Jeannine 2 things,
Firstly, a big THANK YOU :-*
secondly, what type of squash is that in your picture, is that crook neck squash, i am only asking as i am growing it for the first time this year and my babies look similar to your mature ones in the picture, if not what type of squash is it as it looks interesting.
big hugs
Kimxx
It is Pennsylvania Crook Neck, it is a winter squash, tan , butternut family, not a Crooked Neck summer one which is kindof bottle shaped with the narrow part bent over with a warty yellow skin. They are two distinct types.
XX Jeannine
I now have choices and addies from
Grannyjanny and 1066.

I grow pumpkins successfully here in Nantes where we have a climate not that different to the UK. It rains a lot and summer is not THAT hot. For Northern UK I don't know, but squash doesn't always need that much heat to grow I find, much less than say melons... DOes Jeannine agree with me on that?
I feel as if I cannot ask people for seeds as I have none to give back to them, or only very banal shop bought seeds.

You guys are just too kind. I have started saving some of my own seed, but as I am still quite a newbie, I am unsure as to whether they work properly yet or not!! :) But maybe soon I will have more seeds to be able to swap. I will PM both of you...
I will try and work out something to send in return (Can you post French cheese??? ;D ;D
Antipodes, I can post to you direct, I am posting to several countries anyway.
The question about heat, winter squash will do quite well in a regular UK summer as long as it is warm, long, not too wet, and are started in good time,they will grow faster in hotter weather though, whereas melons must have it which is why most of them are better under glass.
Jayb the squash that looks like a penguin is a Chicago Warted.
XX Jeannine
Hi Jeannine, I'm probably far too late, but hubby's just gone out strimming, so I can sneak on the computer ;)
If you have anything left to spare, would you consider me?
Will pm you whatever you decide (grovel, grovel :-[)
Still not too late. Pm your choices and addy. XX Jeannine
I pm'd you Jeannine :D
BUMP... the choices so far are almost packed and will be mailed shortly, there is still a bit of time left if anyone else wants to send a requeat in. XX Jeannine
Jeannine - you must be spending a fortune on us A4Allers. Is there any small thing my sister could bring back for you when she visits me in September?
Tricia
ooooh, Jeannine, how did I miss this?
Would love some if not too late... will PM you.
Corinne X
OK, I have filled all the requests for those folks who sent a list an address, they are all going in a box to a UK addy and will be posted from there. Most of you got what you asked for although some had run out..I took them in the order I got the full info. I am sorry but I did not have time to choose for anyone. John was filling bags etc and we only had time to do the straight forward ones, so if anyone asked for something for a shady area or a cool part of the UK or generally asked me to select for them I do regret we couldn't help you. It took us hours to fill and complete as you can appreciate so simply had no time to be side tracked. I am closing this post now as parcel is almost packed ready to go and it will be too late to request.
Trica thank you for the offer, I am sure I can find something very easily and might just take you up on that, your package is going to your sisters today,Grannieannie yours is going direct to the States today.
I hope your seeds do well for you, I have others to find homes for but need a break before I start that. I will begin another post when I have them sorted out.
I will put a new post on with names of folks who I have posted to, I would be grateful if you would post there so I know they have arrived.
