oh and one more item -


Chilli - Numex Twilight, or a rainbow type with all the colours on one plant..

ps. sorry couldn't find the Edit button on the page anymore - why anyone???

The edit button is only available for a short time after you have made a post, I think the option lasts for about 20-30 mins.

i would like some of your comfrey but i have to check my seed box and see if i have anything you fancy

About to go out, but off of the top of my head, I know I have Little Elf Chilli, fresh Gladiator F1 Parsnip and Poached Egg Plant, will have to check for the squash and cabbages, would love some JA's and Oca in return please  ;D

hey all :D

just been down to the lotti to dig up some JAs and Comfrey. If anyone would like to PM me their addresses, we can take it from here. I'll be able to send by 2nd Class tomorrow.

I can get you some poached egg plants for Saturday  Are you SURE you want them :-X!

hi anne!

well, they're beneficial to the bees, and i really missed them last yr as i didn't think they were enough of them in my garden! yes, you can bring some, altho' i am meant to be getting some already off someone else. more the merrier as they don't like being transplanted, so i'll scatter them around the corners of my lotti beds...

will call you nearer the time...

xx b

anyone for any more??? ;D ;D ;D

am really after some parsnip as i've never had much success with bought seed. the ones i've got now are doing well and they're from saved seed from some seed swap event i went to. they won't go to flower for some time yet, will they if i want seed off them this yr for next season's harvest?

some of the squash varieties would be nice as i think they're sosooso lovely and cute looking, plus being prolific producers as well..

i'd v happy to pay for a few seeds if ppl have some spare...

I have  :
Cobaea scandens purple
Kale redbor
Cavolo nero (if nero de Toscana is the same?)

I haven't got the specific squash you listed, but maybe these would be of interest :
Squash f1  Balmoral (white pattypan)
Squash scallop mixed

I'd love a little comfrey and a sweet potato slip if you still have them?

Anemone: I've PM'd you  ;)
