 :wave: Not had any luck elsewhere (including link above). Also a bit reluctant to ask but need to get planting so if anyone can spare some vegetable seeds that would be much appreciated. Happy to send SAE  :)
Thanks and big thanks if you have some seeds you can spare  :thumbsup:

On another forum they started what they call a seed circle
Any surplus seeds are sent on to the next recipient who takes what they would like   adds what they have a surplus of  and passes on   giving participants the opportunity to try a wider variety of veg etc without having to waste money  has proven to be hugely successful :thumbsup:

Any takers for a bag of red onion sets? I won't have space for them this year I think.

Thank you for the seeds offer, have sent a PM  :thumbsup:

At £3.49 for a little pack the garden centre really must be having a laugh. Ten different vegetable seed types and thats £35 for some seeds. Robbery!  :o

If anyone is thinking of buying seeds I recommend this http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Premier-Seeds-Direct?_trksid=p4340.l2563 I have had a good few packs from them and they have all germinated and growing well. The larger numbers in the seed packs from them may mean we can swap even more seeds around :thumbsup:

oooh and another thing it doesn't matter how much you order there is only a 59p P&P

I've got masses of spare pea seeds if anyone wants 'em, Kelvedon Wonder and Feltham First. Also plenty of parsnip seed, White Gem and Gladiator.

I'd love them, Benkt! I stupidly left me seeds in the greenhouse over the winter and the mice ate every last pea and bean, the buggers.

The only thing I have an excess of is cornflower seed, which are very pretty. I have about 50 packets (bought a load on ebay a couple of years ago. I put them in the children's party bags at one of the girls' birthday parties, everyone was thrilled! Just a thought for all you mummies!)

Benkt, I will happily paypal you the P&P if you're happy to pass the peas?!

Yes please!
I have been kindly given some already but I can eat my own weight in pea shoots daily :yum:
