2009 International Seed Swap

14 years ago

I'm ready to go with this year's International Seed Swap! Details of how to join in are on the link.

Whilst I'm hoping many of our usual participants will take part again this year, we're always looking for new gardeners to join in to give us an even bigger range of seeds to share out.

If you haven't joined in before, why not give it a go this year? At least you'll get different seeds in exchange for yours, and one of them might be something you've been looking for.

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!

Tammy, I sent you some double gloriosa daisy seeds too. I think I killed the 2 plants I dug for the NO LIMIT SWAP or I would have sent it this time. I was thinking the other day about when Brooke will have to go to school. I've got to admit I got a little misty eyed just thinking about it:( Dan, I can't wait to get all new plants. YEAH! Sorry, Just getting a little excited. I am going to be so busy between this swap and the no limit swap. Denise Denise
