2020 Seed Swap Circles - Veggie - 08-06-2020
Who's interested in saving and swapping seeds later this year?
Depending on the level of interest, we could have a circle for:
Tomatoes
Chillies,
Flowers
Veg
All in/everything and anything
Please add your names and tell us which ones you'd like to be part of - and we'll take it from there.

Yes, I’m saving chilli seeds ( not really a surprise, is it
) and purple sprouting broccoli ( hopefully, first time trying) and courgette later in the year after I’ve had a few off the plant ( thanks to advice on here ). Probably some tomatoes and peas & sunflowers. Probably an all in type circle.

I'll have tomatoes and have just saved some Fairbeard's Non-Pareil peas for swapping.

haha Veggie, that's some a-pea-ling name for a... pea! LOL
Are those swapsies for self saved, commercial or both please?
RE: 2020 Seed Swap Circles - Veggie - 08-06-2020
At the moment, its self-saved seeds as its something the seed savers have to plan for,but we'll probably have a random commercial one as well.

I'm not sure that I'll be able to save much seed this year with having to move. Maybe from some quicker cropping veggies that I can sow after August? It's slim pickings for rentals right now, so I'm not sure if I'm even going to have space for a little container garden
However, if all goes well, I think I'm most likely to be able to participate in an All-in circle.

I hope your move goes well Pro! I don't know anyone that lives in that area either, that you are moving to... sorry I can't be of help! I can imagine it's tough finding somewhere to rent, when people can't move so easily as you can't really buy anything at the moment!

Certainly for an ornamentals swap, if I get my bum in gear unsure about veg yet. So much of what I've got I've not got variety names for any more.
RE: 2020 Seed Swap Circles - JJB - 09-06-2020
I'm not into seed saving, never done it and tend to forget and eat the lot. But I'll give tomatoes a go, maybe som cfb . May also have some commercials.
