Ok I'll go for the tomatoes -I hope to dry a lot this year. I did it a couple of years ago and despite all the messing around it was worth every bit of effort.
The worst that can happen is that some enthusiastic bumble in the poly gives us a purple Amish seeds ::). Drying seeds is a lot easier and quicker than drying tomatoes for 2/3 days in the oven...[But they were delicious ;D]

First vegetables on my growing list for seedcircle 2012;Eeuwig moes perrenial kale very old dutch heirloom.Reade Krobbe very old frysian dry bean.Wieringer boon very old dutch drybean lost in holland but found in the states and brought back to holland.Langedijker bleekbloei old heirloom pea.Noordhollandse bloedrode heirloom red onion.These are all dutch heirlooms and i hope i can share   them at the end of the growing season to all the people who join the seedcirle.This would be a start more to come.

Yes, please. I still have some chervil plants, both indoors and outdoors. Have never saved seed from them before, so will have to see how it goes. Will have to see what else later. Would anyone be interested in amaranth and/or quinoa?

aj

I'll evidently have to pull out of this.

Cheers

Jayb

Noooooooo, please don't  :)

aj, sorry for being unobservant, what's so evident that I completely failed to notice? Unless it's seed saturation. I would have said it's evident we need you with us.

First thoughts-" Old Homestead " pea and " Queen of Hearts" tom .
I do have a packet HSL- of " Jenny Lind " melons- which I will not be growing this year so if anyone fancies them for the circle  please PM.

elsie

Can I join  please? I've started sorting through my seeds to see what I want to grow this year, and then I'll be able to give a better idea of what I'll try to save seed from  :)

Jayb

Ruud, I really love your list some fantastic varieties I'd love to share and wonderful to think they may have the chance of being grown by a few more people.

I'm very excited about the chance of growing Eeuwig moes perennial kale, I hear it is more tender than Daubenton. But I didn't think it produced seed?

Martinburo, Chervil sounds good to me.

Markfield, Old Homestead would be great as they are new to me peas, they sound great. I'd also love the chance to grow Queen of Hearts, I sent the seeds I had to Jeannine last year. So I'm going to cheerleader, no pressure ;D

Welcome aboard you Elsie, good to have you join.

Good, hopefully not too big to make it difficult to produce seeds for.

Just thinking although I'm still not certain what I'm going to save altogether, I'd like to try saving either Nutribud or Umpqua Broccoli, I'm hoping they do well. We haven't had many brassicas the last two years?
