Welcome to the forum Gavin!

I've moved this into Swap Shop - you might like to give members an idea of what you're offering in return.

Well, the usual form is to make your request and offer seeds/cuttings/tubers in return.  People are always interested in getting their hands on something a bit unusual or different, like e.g. your special squash.  Failing that, an offer to send an SAE will always be appreciated.

Ok - in reply to the above I can swop some of our "Gem Squash" seeds for comfrey.. Probably can spare 20 or so maybe a bit more.. These squash re real little gems ... sort of similar to a round Zuccini - absolutely delicious. Cut in half and boiled for 10 minutes.. bit of butter, salt & pepper mixed in to it.. If you Google "gem squash" or "rolet squash"  you will find them.
