HAVE: Spring 2005 Big International Seed Swap

19 years ago

Despite having pots of plants and seedlings all over the garden, and boxes of seeds filling the fridge, I'm pining for more new seeds, so I'm ready for another big swap.

Everyone's welcome to join in again - just send your unwanted seeds and I'll share them out between all the participants. There are already some interesting seeds in the kitty (e.g. Alisma plantago, Pelargonium alchemillioides, Pelargonium quinquelobatum, Sinningia leucotricha), as a couple of envelopes full of goodies arrived too late to be included in the last swap.

Thank you to everyone who's joined in these big swaps in the past - I've got some of my 'Most Wanted' seeds this way.

We have over 200 packets of seed in the kitty (there's a list of some of them on the link) for this year's seed swap, but we'd like to see even more people with even more different seeds to add to the kitty. There's still plenty of time for seed collectors in the UK and Europe to get their seeds to me in time for this year's share out in November, so please e-mail me for my address and send your seeds in to take part in this year's exchange.

We already have over 400 packets of seeds in the kitty to share out this year. There's a list of some of them on the link. If these sound interesting to you, why not join us? I'm hoping the postal strike won't affect us too much, but I already have seeds on the way from several countries, so I may have to extend the deadline for receiving seeds until they get here - which gives everyone here in the UK plenty of time to get their seeds packed and posted!
