EJ

did it take you longer to type the list than to collect the seeds.....

That is an astonishing amount.  Unfortunately I am no where near to planting a single thing yet but will definately be in touch when I could utilise some of them

If you could sort me out with a selection of "very easy to grow" and also "looks good in a vase" flowers, I'll save you some veggie seeds (will have lots when I have finished my catalogue spending spree). PM me if this arrangement works for you!
Thanks,
Sarah.

Blimey you lot, I posted that list nearly a year ago, and at the time, not a taker.  Now a surge of interest!  I will have to go through my seed box and see whats what.  After a lack of response I went mad and grew lots of them, and gave a lot to my sister.  I will sort through and let you know if I can fill your wish lists, but can you give me a day or 2 pretty please.  ;D

Anyone who asked me for seeds - check your PM's, I should have sorted you all.  ;D

Hi Emma,

I am new in gardening and will love to hove some of your surplus flower seed if you still have some.

I will appreciate if you give me hardy perennial as I live in Canada in Zone 3.

Thanks in advance.
