RE: 2022 - Random Commercial Seed Swap - Veggie - 10-05-2022
A Happy NG makes me Happy too.
I'm starting to worry about Frank - he seems to be AWOL. Don't know whether Garrett's stamps were missed but at least 3 of the envelopes have arrived "intact".
Just need Sarriss's seeds to arrive and I can relax.

Mine arrived this morning! Wow, so many seeds - I have already got some sowed! Thank you so much for organising Veggie - I really appreciate your time and effort
I've sowed immediately...
Cucumber Crystal apple (Garrett)
Strawberry Toscana (?) (SC)
Godetia Grandiflora (SC)
Morning Glory Granpa OTT (Garrett)
Climbing French Bean Fasold (JJB)
Mange Tout Golden Sweet (JJB)
Pea Lord Leicester (Veggie)
And I've set all Alexander Palm seeds to soak after nicking the shell of the seeds. I'm so excited to try these out!
I'll do more tomorrow on my day off. Thank you everyone!!

Oh and Frank must be sleeping on the job here too lol

Now that we all have our seeds, its time to talk about Lemurs and Touchwood.
Sarris will tell us all she knows about Lemurs - like how high the climb, whether they like the heat or rain and whether they have furry coats and long tails.
I can do Touchwood.
I've sent you all some Aquilegia seeds from the National collection at http://www.touchwoodplants.co.uk/aquilegiaseed.htmYou can look at Touchwood's list for the variety you've received and advice on how to grow them. You all have different varieties.

But wow that’s a very impressive collection. Going to have to look at my seed packet again now and actually pay attention to which variety I have. They will be getting sown as soon as this horrible weather passes.

looking forward to Sarris explaining all about the lemur beans. Because when you google them something very disturbing comes up and I’m very pleased I don’t drink coffee !
now you’re confused
I’m assuming they’ve been miss spelled deliberately
( FYI that’s really mean to the dyslexic 
).
RE: 2022 - Random Commercial Seed Swap - JJB - 10-05-2022
^^^ the freecycle fairy definitely has a mean streak
, for someone with dyslexia you cope extremely well SC. I'm off to goggle the aquilegia (PS thank goodness for auto correct, I would never have spelled aquilegia right)

Afternoon Veggie,
I'll be going thru all my seeds soon with a view of planning / replanning for next year. My guess is I will probably have a few/lot that I no longer need and therefore thought about posting them to you to share out whenever the next suitable swap happens?
RE: 2022 - Random Commercial Seed Swap - Veggie - 19-07-2022
Great, Thanks Danny. They can go into the Seed Kitty ready for the next swap.
Don't forget, everyone, to save seeds for the Saved Seed swap later this year. It may include a Danny Bonus.
