The edit button is only available for a short time after you have made a post, I think the option lasts for about 20-30 mins.

hi anne!

well, they're beneficial to the bees, and i really missed them last yr as i didn't think they were enough of them in my garden! yes, you can bring some, altho' i am meant to be getting some already off someone else. more the merrier as they don't like being transplanted, so i'll scatter them around the corners of my lotti beds...

will call you nearer the time...

anyone for any more??? ;D ;D ;D

am really after some parsnip as i've never had much success with bought seed. the ones i've got now are doing well and they're from saved seed from some seed swap event i went to. they won't go to flower for some time yet, will they if i want seed off them this yr for next season's harvest?

some of the squash varieties would be nice as i think they're sosooso lovely and cute looking, plus being prolific producers as well..

i'd v happy to pay for a few seeds if ppl have some spare...

I have  :
Cobaea scandens purple
Kale redbor
Cavolo nero (if nero de Toscana is the same?)

I haven't got the specific squash you listed, but maybe these would be of interest :
Squash f1  Balmoral (white pattypan)
Squash scallop mixed

I'd love a little comfrey and a sweet potato slip if you still have them?
