I will definitely save seed. The challenge will be finding seeds that weren't in this years swap. I almost feel obliged to go out and buy some obscure seeds just for growing to swap, to repay the kindness of others. There's an excuse for more tomatoes or perhaps beans

I have been hoarding all the little plastic bags that had screws and bits in them ever since I realized how sad my little seed parcels were and yet I'm still drawn to fold little envelopes...
I'm looking forward to saving more seed this year. And quietly keeping fingers crossed that anyone who tries to grow something I've sent actually gets some germination. Ooh, the suspense!

Sowed some swapsies today. Who was it said if I started growing chillies I would become obsessed, Veggie I think. I eat perhaps one chilli a fortnight and had resolved to grow just one plant as an experiment, so why have I sown at least 5 varieties and several seeds of each? No will power.

. I already know the answer to that one, a big fat NO! Oh, but isn't it fun sowing seeds, so much potential. Most of the chillies were yours SC thanks.

The other chillies were from Far End Woman.

Thank you FEW. Razzamatazz is in the soil.

I'm going to reuse my box and stamps
hopefully I can save and bag as I go along.
RE: 2020 Seed Swap Circles - Scarlet - 14-01-2021
I have photos of the bean seeds and some names...sorry, I just couldn't face bagging them separately.
I will start a thread...
