Hi All,
Not been on here for ages! now I've quit the rat race and am self employed with more time to garden I'll be around more! I am planning on starting a seed bank for my area. As I'm posting from Spain I would like to trade for no less than 10 varieties to make postage worthwhile.
Anyway, anyone fancy a swap?
All seeds are grown and saved from home grown tomatoes grown on my land. Seeds are fermented before drying to improve germination and seeds health for next year (but I don't need to tell you pros that!) I have a list with pictures and info, If you would like one PM your email.
In return, I would like named veg varieties, tomatoes I don't have, chillies, sweet peppers (lipstick in particular) even drought resistant flowers (I live in Spain) Unusual tubers (but NOT Jerusalum artichokes...parp)

Hi Biscombe, good to see you back and Good luck with your seed bank :happy7:
You might like to take a look here, kind of a tomato seed bank for A4A'ers https://sites.google.com/site/virtualtomatoswap/ happy to swap if anything takes your fancy, particularly varieties not on the list. Also I'd be interested in traditional/regional Spanish or European varieties?
Hi Jay, thanks and good to be back! The swap link looks excellent, off now to take a closer look to see how it works.
There's not really that many Spanish varieties, the most popular are muchamiel (lots of honey) and tres cantos (three songs) I would be happy to send you some of those too along with whatever you choose.
I also have Rampicante winter squash and melon cucumber, these are ripe but still growing lol! but the seeds will take a while to dry out before i post them. Ooooooh lots of scabious too
Hi!
Can you give me more info on the "Black Pepper" tomato? Pictures? Thanks
I also have one small package of Lipstick. I could send you half it with you. Would that be enough for you to grow out?
