Title: Have flower seeds spare, looking for veggies
Post by: Suffolklad on May 05, 2005, 21:25:12

I have a few packets of T&M seeds that I won't be using as I really don't have time for flowers now I have 3 lotties:

Carex Flagillifera
Anemanthele Lessoniana (grass)
Busy Lizzie Bedding Supreme F1 Hybrid
Mimuls x Hybridus Magic Yellow Flame
Nicotiana Sensation Mixed
Californian Poppy Sun Shades
Mimulus cardinalis
Love Lies Bleeding Amaranthus
Geum Quellyon mixed
Candytuft Appleblossom
Phlox Peppermint Candy
Lupin Summer Spires
Gypsphila Elegens Improved Mixed

I'd prefer to out the whole lot in one go really rather than mess about. I'm not too fussy what I get in return as long as it's something I grow. If possible I'd like some Peer Gynt sprouts and cauliflowers, as mine haven't done to well and I'd like to try again. Other than that carrots radishes spring onions would all find a good home. Try me with anything really.

Sweet corn would be most welcome too. Already got about 60 plants on the go, but with 40 chickens there's never enough :-)

Trying to think what else....dwarf beans.........maybe melons (are they easy to grow ??)....................................

Make me an offer.

I've some Dwarf French Beans and watermelons if you're interested in swapping for some Amarantus + Lupin, but I understand if you'd rather wait + get shot of the lot.

PM me if you want to swap though

Hi Mike

I'd love the first two grasses - they are my favourite two.

Have a look at my list on this board for what you want.

Hiya
Bl**dy snails hit my sweetcorn in the greenhouse rather badly, so whatever I can get really. I have plenty of space on the lotty for them, so a really big block would be pretty cool  ;D

I bought the "growers pack" from Kings ~6 times the contents of the normal pack for just 2 x the price, so despite having to do some resowing (bloody mice in the greenhouse again  >:() I still have some over

Can you PM your address?
