Allotments 4 All

This is our first year of being an allotment association and we're holding our first coffee morning/seed swap to help to raise our profile and funds. But we're a little unsure about seed swapping.......how does it work? Tips and suggestions would be gratefully received  :)

Hi Lilyjean

there's bean a few threads on this subject recently, I'll try and track them down for you, but I think they are in the News section of this site.

in the meantime here's a link to Seedy Sunday (which I went to  ;) ) http://www.seedysunday.org/index.aspx

Oh and good luck and let us know how it all goes  :)

found a few links  :)

message for 1066 Hectare   :) Despite the rain & the cold we held our very 1st successful seed swap & coffee morning...Great fun! can't wait 4 R plant sale in the Spring! Thank you for all the wonderful tips.....incredibly helpful. I will very soon be picking your brains on a couple of issues that we need help on  ;) Watch the space!!

Yaaayyy ! thats great Lilyjean  :)  :)  :) and thanks for the update. What was successful or popular in terms of seeds? And do you have any leftovers, and if so what will you be doing with them?

I've sorted my seeds out for our swap - I have an embarrisng amount  :-X , I hope we can get some enthusiasm from our lot!!

1066  :)

you're welcome 1066!  :) I think the most popular seeds was from the herb selection.As for the left over seeds we're delegating each member of the committee to sowing so that we can have another coffee morning with a  twist......selling plants!  :)  let us know how your swap goes.....good luck!   :)

thats a good idea about growing the seeds on! Hope your sale is a success, ours last year went down a treat, I think the laden cake table helped  :D
And yes I'll let you know how it goes .....
