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.
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

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

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.

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.
