Yes, I save my own seed too. And am always thrilled and excited by what comes in the seed swap.
However - I confess to falling for the “special offer 99p seeds” that regularly pop up in my inbox.
My experience is that these “bargains” are often old seeds that have very poor germination.
A recent example is sweet pea seed from Mr F reduced from £3.99 to 99p.
About three seeds have sprouted - the rest have gone furry and rotted, which makes them 33p per seed! So - Not the bargain I expected.
