JanG, yes, the amaranth is supposed to pop a bit like popcorn, or maybe more like puffed rice? What I can't figure out is if all grain amaranth (the cream/beige seeds) have the ability to puff... Looks like I've got some experiments ahead of me!
re Kakai, what are your chances of pure seeds? Are you going to grow out a few and see?

ok, tomato list:
black strawberry - pink/red stripy cherry, beautiful and shiny!
indigo fireball - yellow with antho top, quite big for a cherry
Mlle Foriers - beautiful pink/red with antho shoulders, med/big
Marsha's Starfighter - beautiful dark stripy antho beefsteak

As you have noticed, I select tomatoes on looks 

Hello everyone,

sorry it's been a bit crazy around here...

I have a lot to replies to catch up on... I'll start with the latest:
JanG, I have received the final details, thank you!

Markfield Rover, I also have your message, thank you!

Thank you . It's all getting exciting now ! I was eyeing up the glassine paper that my bread came in to repurpose as seed packets!

That's mysterious, MR. Vetivert's missing email had a simple explanation but I have no idea why you're having trouble. I'll send the admin email to you again.

Sorry , just to add I sent a PM to juliev yesterday and that's lost too !

It's probably me , but I can't find PMs or notifications of ! And JanG yours has disappeared! Anyone else ? Cheers.

Sorry about that Vetivert. I sent your message to the person who once upon a time used the other name you sometimes use elsewhere!
It is now sent under your present A4A user name.

Hi Jan, awesome contributions! I haven't received your PM for admin details, please could you resend? Thanks 

Quote from: markfield rover on October 15, 2025, 16:16:37Thank you JanG , I am doing my finalish sort out and I have a CFB and a mangetout that I  was only able to save a few seeds 5/6 per member, if that's okay I'll add, also I believe the CFB Croft Italian, I added to the circle eight years ago - so may not be required by some. Cheers

As Galina says, 5 to 6 seeds per member is absolutely fine for peas and beans and cucurbits. And I would love some Croft's Italian please, so do include that too (minus one packet)

Jan, how unusual is that black pea?  Looks so exotic.  And having over the years shared, I believe all of Alan Kapuler's peas, it is great to get to grow a pea bred by his daughter too.
