RE: Organising a seed swap!!! - Small chilli - 13-02-2023
The last lot of seeds for the swap have arrived from Franchi seeds.
15 packets and nice selection. Also something Veggies is going to like
. Some pocket moon phase calendars[attachment=5828]

Nice assortment there! I think I have one of those Moon phase calendars somewhere.
How many packets of seeds have you got so far? It'll be interesting to see how many packets you have at the end of the swap. At the swap I go to each year, I've seen some of the seeds I've donated appearing for a couple of years, unwanted and unloved! There was one packet that had the name of the GYO donor on it, can't remember who but it was an odd name, and I overheard a "customer" asking her friend if she knew what a "odd name" vegetable was.

That's amazing! I have some to send you too. Will post them this week.
Apparently 150 people went to the Splott Seed swap that I went to recently. That was a first Swap too but there were other activities on site so they may have come for those, not the seeds.

. That’s very kind of you 
.There seems to be quite a lot of interest on the local gardening Facebook page. I’d like to think 100 might show up. We’ll just have to wait and see
